What is striking is how each layer has just enough separation to avoid feeling directly responsible, yet each is essential to the whole. This creates what you might call “decentralized moral hazard” - the risks are socialized across society while the benefits concentrate among the first few layers. And because no single layer feels fully responsible, the system becomes remarkably resistant to reform from within.

“Aleksey Chikhachev, a writer for the analytical center closest to Putin, drew attention to the bilateral agreements concluded by France with Italy, Spain, and Poland. Poland is depicted as an ‘aggressive neighbor’ with the help of which Paris allegedly hopes to create ‘additional difficulties’ for Moscow.”

It’s good to let some fresh air into the chamber sometimes.

I understand it’s also about attracting new users (that won’t find the current state of affairs compelling), and that seems like a rather moderate way to go about it!

Because Farcaster clearly rewards the wrong behaviors right now. The general idea was great though, so this project actually makes a lot of sense.

I mean, usually it is better to avoid the argument from hypocrisy, but here the hypocrisy is exceptionally insolent…

He would explain the power of what’s going to happen, and he was right, who would have thought?—but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed us, they just killed us.

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my life credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are—nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was thirty-five years ago.

I know! It’s just I picked that headline for the screenshot since it fit the joke, but then I thought I should share another article to avoid being misleading myself…
