@kevin2kelly This one is my favorite:
"When someone is nasty, rude, hateful, or mean with you, pretend they have a disease. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict."
Reminds me of this parable from Tara Brach. https://t.co/ZwF4oFEi3q

16/ @hudsonjameson's pragmatic q: "What do you think of Ethereum's current governance, esp. on big decisions?"
@aantonop I've listened on some Core Dev calls. I like that no one differs to authority. Also, in ETH, devs have more power than miners. (Not clear in BTC.)
#ETHDenver
@michael_nielsen Yes! It's a different frame on Brand's Pace Layers.
Meadows asks: Where can we intervene? And comes up with a stack of layers from [easy but low-impact] to [hard yet high-impact].
Brand asks: How does change occur? And comes up with a stack of layers from [fast] to [slow]. https://t.co/DPNH653clZ

1/ Thread from #Devcon4 👇
First off, I LOVE how @mi_ayako's represents technology and philosophy:
- Tech is a car (it *enables* us to go)
- Philosophy is a compass (it helps us determine *where* to go)
(Vectorially, tech is a magnitude and philosophy is a direction.)
This is a great iteration in the @ETHGlobal ecosystem—use dApps for the event itself:
-@LivepeerOrg streaming
-@ethstatus messaging
-@gnosisPM audience voting
-@goblockparty ticketing

...So I'm happy to give my thoughts :) 👇 https://t.co/4k1xwHPomW
Clear applications of the abundance agenda for education:
-Don't ban algebra. That's restricting supply.
-Less student loans. That's subsidizing demand.
-Less school renaming, more outcomes. Signal less, deliver more.
-Higher teacher salaries, less admin. Build state capacity.
Crypto is redefining reputation signals.
For a long time, we've signaled reputation with wealth.
Now that capital is abundant, signaling reputation with money makes you look stupid—"giving away 2 Aston Martins on a yacht".
I wish I could short LamboReputationCoin. https://t.co/6pMOuJrx68
14/ P.S. Just to be vulnerable for a sec:
I feel scared when I post things like this into the world. I fear a deep negative response from the world of identity, lived XP, etc
I understand where the anger comes from, but I am still scared by it.

1/1 Day 3 at #EdCon!
First off, I truly believe that @BobSummerwill is doing important community work. No, it's not code. It's not a clear governance process.
But it IS reminding everyone in #Ethereum that we're human. And we should treat each other as such.
❤️❤️❤️
1. I stand with Israel. I condemn Hamas.
2. I stand with Palestine. I condemn Israel running an open-air prison.
3. I stand with de-escalation. I condemn blood for blood.
I stand with all three statements and don't think it's good to believe just one.
@michael_nielsen @sama I really like “the pattern is more important than the material.”
Reminds me of @cesifoti saying:
The price of a Bugatti is $4,000/lb.
The price of a crashed Bugatti is $0/lb.
The value is in the arrangement of atoms, not the atoms themselves.

1. Not culture was bad but rather “no *cumulative* cultural evolution”
2. Climate not only needed to be warmer, but have *seasonality* from Earth’s tilt.
3a. Low population meant low need for tech innovation of farming. Waiting for induced innovation.
3b. But more importantly, needed a place to store good cultural ideas. Previously was just external tech like tools. But around 50k, sapiens created a more stable cultural fabric from both density and age. (Grandmothers)

7/ We should expect this to be just the start of "game theory exploitation". @slatestarcodex calls this "Game Theory As A Dark Art" and says:
"One of the most charming features of game theory is the almost limitless depths of evil to which it can sink."
12/ @aantonop with an awesome perspective on BTC vs. ETH communities:
Ethereum's privilege to be a happy and fun community comes from Bitcoin. Those hard asses who are directly attacking nation states with unstoppable money (that allowed you to bootstrap this).

If developers want to "disobey unjust laws", the best way to do so is through unstoppable code. (Because when the law says "stop", you get to say I *can't* instead of I *won't*.)
