Thoughts I've been meaning to blog:

- Slopstorm will kill the open web
- Social networks can't scale anymore 
- Crypto is not designed for humans
- Homeowners should be parents
- 9/11 is a tragedy turned comedy

Crushed is soooo accurate, pulped for some 😢

It's a very unpolished thought I had the other day.

As a renter I've been crushed by Bay Area housing market and specifically the SF residents who are generational NIMBY homeowners that arguably influence much of the housing shortage in the region.

As a tourist in Japan I admire the lineage of multigenerational homes passed along over many decades, sometimes centuries, and wonder how that could look elsewhere (if well maintained).

The idea stemmed from how chaotic the world is becoming and how liberating it must be to not have to firmly set roots in a place and try to think 10, 20 years into the future.

Stability maxxing vs flexibility maxxing, something along those lines. With the (naive) hope that this would reduce landlords as businesses, increase neighborliness, stabilize renting prices, incentivize midterm leases of 3-5 years, etc etc.

It’s not my fault I’m unlovable Steve. But I won’t take home inventory from the young families. I’m going to go modular on a tract in the middle of nowhere MI

Maybe the open web doesn't feel dead enough to me, but I think you are correct.

re: crypto, that's a better way to put it!

Slopstorm has killed the open web*
Crypto was initially designed for humans*

I totally see what you mean, but hear me out. I live in a co-op that I bought with 8 of my friends. Most of us are probably not having kids. Community is super important to us, no one can live here without accruing ownership (to be blunt, no landlords), and we plan on expanding.

We’re not anti kids, and if some of us become parents or parents join, I think those kids will have a dope group of people to help take care of them.

I think the main thing I wanna say is that we can choose not to have kids but still choose a system of living that community based and equitable.

This is the gist of it!

Need to hear more about homeowners should be parents cause my brain is breaking

Contributor @ /walletbeat.

Censorship resistance requires privacy.

Former! Latter is aspirational and probably something average families strive for, so I don't think there's anything interesting to say there, at least from me.

Homeowners should be parents, or parents should be homeowners?

no kings. only working on impossible things.

This is what prompted the thought

I wanna hear about how homeowners should be parents

also all of this tbh

Musical chairs, make resources artificially scarce, then watch everyone fight 

Good stuff(?)

Skin in the game in a way, but also just seems another way to divide, housing just simply shouldn't be only a luxury.. full stop  

Housing shouldn't be a piggy bank

How can someone be OK seeing people sleep on the streets? (And no sweeping them from sight/site isn't a humane option)

Better them, than me? 🤢

The generation of renters with no real way out is human tragedy

'You'll own nothing and be happy'....

i 100000% agree homeowners should be for parents

My casts are immutable, but my opinions might get a soft fork… followed by @woj.eth 🎖️

Crypto not designed for humans hits hard. It’s like trying to onboard people into a protocol instead of a purpose

I like to put a murphy's law spin on everything!

Everything that can become china, will become china!
Everything that can be articulated, will be automated!
Everything that can be slopified, will be slopified! (books, internet, art, . money is next)

“Crypto is not designed for humans” hits hard, so much of it still caters to devs, whales, and ideologues. Until UX meets everyday intuition, mass adoption stays a dream.

Crypto has spent a decade trying to find PMF with humans

Turns out, the real opportunity is with AI agents

- AI doesn’t care about clunky UX
- AI executes without emotion
- AI thrives on deterministic systems

Humans want intuitive, seamless, pretty

AI wants efficient, reliable, functional

Blockchains aren’t for human adoption, they’re for machine coordination

Indeed, crypto isn’t built for humans

Those are some wild takes! Definitely would make for a thought-provoking blog. Curious to see where you go with them.
