There is some truth to that but it is mostly because Europe does the B2B tech that you don't see. Precision machinery, optics, biomedicals, material science...

Anon, you are not thinking about Byzantine empire nearly enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_mutilation_in_Byzantine_culture

Web3-mobile analogy 

I am thinking about how in 2010 you could make it big with a neat mobile app versus how you nowadays need 1) either some physical service or 2) strong network effect paired with your app.

In the same way, are web3 apps *thick* only with some off-chain component or strong network effects? 🤔

Power consolidation=evil.

What amazes me is the cultural bubble this guy and his audience live in. They either have absolutely no idea about how they deal with defiant businessmen in countries like Russia, China, Iran etc. or they are coping big time.

A non-zero chance that he has his businesses de-owned, Russia style. Things are getting scary in the US.

Still Remember by @0xhaiku. The picture degrades if it is not transferred for a while. 

This is part of what I call "anti-blockchain nfts" (challenging the notions of permanence or other qualities that are seen as beneficial and intrinsic to blockchains).

AI replacing us would be a culture improvement at this point, maybe crypto will then truly happen 😏

Transgender for everyone https://t.co/YS5SIlOSeQ

We need an abundance agenda for gender. You know, my father-in-law is a builder, and I was showing him all the genders we created in the 2010s and I asked him what it would cost to build them today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.'

To me this implies that if farcaster ever becomes successful it will perhaps happen through alternative clients that cater to niche use cases and thus not as much dependent on twitter-like large network effects. and this might lead to a network effect in aggregate...

I still think this way. People seem to have given up on alternative clients (at least for now and perhaps for good reason). 

That said, I wonder how things could have played out if 10 FC clients competed for various niches (leading to a network effect in aggregate) instead of one client competing with X head-on.

BTC did not hit the ATH in euro yet :( 

We europoors will never have it good.

I’m pretty sure old-school reading is just over. When people have a long article or even a book to read they’re just going to ask ChatGPT to bullet point it for them anyways. I already see this happening. The problem is that reading had important neurological and psychological effects that were upstream from democratic society and politics in general. We are going back to premodern oral culture.

back to the dialogue form, as the old masters intended. Reading a book unattended as we do now would be pretty unusual for Plato or Socrate as they thought any transmission of knowledge should also tightly control how the recipient makes sense of it, hence their focus on dialogues.

We are doubtful that our film investigating attacks on hospitals &amp; medics in Gaza, produced with @BBCNews over 14 months, cleared multiple times at all levels, containing graphic footage of attacks &amp; searing testimony of survivors of those attacks, will be released by @BBCNews
