Hate to add complexity to what's already a complex roadmap for @RoamResearch but strikes me that it's an ideal product to Web3ify as early as possible. Wallet sign-ins and token-based access control are kinda brain-dead obvious roads to go down. @Conaw at least put a scout on it
@RoamResearch@Conaw And the block is a natural pre-NFT unit too. Maybe if you own the NFT for a block, you get rights to everything that mentions it or something.
@RoamResearch@Conaw It's also natural to manage syncs and stuff through an internal extremely low-cost L2
10x difference in vax/unvax hospitalization rates appears to continue to be true for omicron? Even if mortality rate is low due to omicron being milder, I’m guessing hospitalization rate implies more long Covid and other issues?
This is turning into one of the great natural experiments of our time.
Including an experiment in limits to persuasion on the persuader side. It’s clear most vaxxers have given up trying to persuade even friends/family.
We’re also seeing a cousin to preference falsification emerge I think… behavior falsification: getting vaccinated on the DL to avoid losing face or something.
It’s al fun and games until you run out of blue pills
The least realistic part of matrix resurrection is the idea that the blue pills are centrally supplied by the matrix. Basic conspiratorial mistake. Blue pills are 80% a home brew cottage industry.
Some bulk raw materials are centrally produced, but most blue pills are home-made to a personal improvised prescription based on a tacit consensus recipe agreed upon by the 3-4 closest people to any individual
This show is an example of what I meant by “efficient lean storytelling”
It is almost unbearably efficient. Like pure cocaine. The Hollywood beat-formula machine at its most finely tuned operating on extremely native material.
This show is the most complete and thorough reboot/continuation I’ve ever seen. All the character arcs and unresolved tensions seamlessly continued. The introduction of the Terry Silver character is so smooth it’s like there was no 30-year gap.
By analogy to “Big Data is when it’s cheaper to store data than decide what to do with it,” (George Dyson)
you could say
“Big Frontier is when it’s cheaper to experiment with something than determine if it’s a scam”
It’s the flip side of brandolini bullshit asymmetry principle: takes 10x effort to refute it than produce it. The solution is to not try: just cap downsides of buying into bullshit and let the upside from legit things swamp it out.
The biggest risk in civilizational cores is being scammed. The biggest risk in frontiers is not playing.
Has anyone experimented with barter nfts? I borrow a cup of sugar from neighbor and issue him a “cup of sugar nft” … solves dual coincidence of needs problems without a fungible currency. Crypto-hardened IOUs.
Solving for neighborhood favor trading liquidity and market-making, not enforceability. Enforcement is always solved with either guns or mutuality (aka iterated prisoners dilemma)
