Humans evolved to trust what they see with their own eyes, or what a trusted person told them (with qualifications unique to that person). It strikes me as a positive thing at least psychologically that people will have to stop trusting media, non-local govt, large bureaucracies. The problem is that there is economy of scale to widespread trade which benefits from large scale standards and measures. We will need sources of economic truth that are immune to AI or we will experience a major reduction in living atandards. In large part, commodity money evolved to allow trading between people outside one's web of trust, commerce within the web is managed on a mental ledger. Something like Bitcoin is essentially a necessary condition for an AI world.

Show Notes
"To describe what’s coming as “impossibly borked” is charitable. This is going to be an unholy mess of indiscernible media, messaging, photography, and fakery. ... “reality fade” into fractal digital fog will stress even the highest trust networks." ~ El Gato Malo What happens when anything and everything can be faked at essentially zero cost? When the line between parody and reality completely dissolves? In this episode, I explore El Gato Malo's brilliant piece on the coming "reality fracture" - but here's the twist: what if this digital apocalypse is actually the best thing that could...

1k In 2020 I became a CA tax refugee to Seattle. We had a long history with Seattle during it's glory days of the 00s & 10s with family in town and a short stint living in the burbs before grad school. Seattle had started to get a gradually more corporate and seedy in the last decade so I guess there were signs, but I.dont think anyone could have predicted the sheer magnitude of the COVID/BLM cliff. At that time, Washington was still a reasonably low tax state with a decent 2nd amendment culture and jurisprudence. I've never had a rug pulled out from me quite like the past 6 years.

100 I would think it's how someone is trying to crack your pass phrase. If they are brute forcing each character, the longer multiple words would be harder, but if they know it's bip39 words, that would definitely reduce the number of possibilities they'd have to test. So in general longer is better.

100 FWIW, I definitely started faster speeds with audio books. Figured it was kinda like speed reading, also it seemed like the best way to get through a bunch of stuff, when you don't know of its worth your time or not. But I have noticed I retain more when I listen at normal speeds.

Primal-NWC partially working. Didn't work from the top right menu "Couldn't reach the wallet: no info event (kind 13194) returned from relay" but when I tried again from the wallet at bottom it did.

100 I was thinking at some point you'd want to reset the top boosts, so the top and 33 days seems like a good solution.
Might also consider different time frames for the size of the boost. Like over 1M doesn't expire, over 100,000 is good for like half a year, etc.
Just an idea.
Always enjoy the interviews and the things you come up with.
