A number of people have reached out to ask for a "mirror" session like the one I describe here: https://x.com/dineshraju/status/1403213751138996233 I keep repeating the same intro and pre-call prep so wrote it down in a note that I can send over before each call https://dinesh.eth.link/notes/mirror-session/

Lawrence Wong flying Lao Airlines & Scoot might be a PR stunt, but it's the kind of PR stunt I'd want SG elected officials to engage in, vs the [redacted] that goes on in so many other places

Everyone is optimizing for their own incentives, and you never get to see all the inputs to their incentive function They have no obligation to provide signal to you, or affirm the particular way you are platonifying the world https://warpcast.com/dinesh.eth/0x87ca163d

I get the enthusiasm for prediction markets as a way to get at decentralized truth. But isn't there going to be noise from people wanting to hedge their position rather than betting an outcome will happen? Is the hope just that the hedging volume will be relatively low and too small to dilute the predictive signal?

This is a good take from @trach. Pasting it in full here since he sadly doesn't seem to be active on Farcaster --- [1/2] In low bandwidth text-based comms platforms like X so much of the poor sense-making and polarized (actually manufactured) conflict is due to hidden context. We become the blind debating the blind as PvP participants lack access or interest into the true worldview or value structures of our interlocutors (the medium doesn’t support nuance). Most often we over-focus on our own reference frames and end up shadow boxing our projections rather than entering a valuable dialectic. My feeling is this dynamic is at the root of the Solana vs Ethereum debate. Solana seems to be executing beautifully towards what I feel is a local maxima in blockchain utility.

Am I the only one who's excited ETH price has been underperforming against everything else? If my favorite pizza chain is selling at a discount to other chains for a couple of years, that would make me happy too

The US-China relationship is probably the most important geopolitical one in our lifetime and one that's worth understanding accurately The default assumption seems to be that China wants to win in the same way Western powers have won great power competitions in the past

Peter Schiff has some kooky views on crypto. Not surprising since it's hard to get someone to understand something if his salary depends on him not understanding it But his takes on the fiscal situation are worth considering. Here's what he thinks about abolishing the Federal Reserve
