the Fourth Amendment is not what you think it is, and was designed for eavesdropping at someone's house window. listen to Dario's perspective, the guidance of Claude to executive law enforcement, as well as the following caselaw:
Kyllo v. United States (533 U.S. 27, 2001) - intrusive thermal imaging is allowed with both a warrant *and exigent circumstances*
Carpenter v. United States (585 U.S. 296, 2018) - likewise, accessing historical cell-site location information from third-party providers and real-time tracking with Stingrays is allowed with a warrant
with such information, and the predominance of *probable* cause warrants, what stops a hostile jurisdiction from searching you all the time with AI-augmented surveillance?

pretty much like utilities fighting net metering, even as solar attained scale and provides societal benefit.
so, taxation without representation

pretty self-explanatory. if Layer 1 requires hardware, the supply chain is Layer 0, but it can still be derived as Layer 1.
sort of like a... fat protocol

🌶️- in light of institutional onboarding, there is a spectrum with two foci: infocommunism and cryptocommunism.
on the former, a government can consolidate copyleft code of law that transparently hardens a creative commons.
on the latter, an economy will aggregate assurance contracts, especially structural incentive, which reinforces a hypercompetitive culture.
but both depend on the same global network with diminishing ability to suppress it.

pari-mutuel is the new burn address https://wp.majeurdao.eth.limo/
instead of wasting circulation to the benefit of holdership, it's much more productive to waste spontaneous opportunity for commitment to measurable activity (like upside in price action) over longer terms.
now how do I automate temporal subdomains for spacecapsule.eth ?

this definitely resonates, and it's a good perspective for the opportunities onchain that change the world for the better.
people need food, shelter, and dignity, and corporatist philosophy errs towards lossiness that selects for big, simple scale.
collectible launchers will favor celebrity, and prediction markets will favor the biggest thrill. what's the most risk-free smart contract for food drives, without scrutiny-free crowdfunding? what's the best bulletin launcher for dignified accomplishment, besides social media that trades?
what kind of extrinsic value, like building security, can be deployed for finding and fixing infrastructual debt? what civic apparatus can be optimized against a lost and low-trust society? what kind of honorbound mutability can complement the passing from one elder's business to the next generation in the trades?
local community > global capturability

trying to reflect on why there's so much popular recoil to the 50-year mortgage...and Credibility Rules Everything Around Me
who wants to pass on shelter debt to Blackstone to their children? nobody
the framing of this mortgage narrative is that everyone will be oppressed by some misaligned entity, not that everyone will be assimilated to a social safety net.
no reason why the lender can't be a credit union or a housing collective, and the borrower can't be a larger familial unit. in fact, this reveals a stack of communal alignment.
so what constraints are missing from mortgages? upfront, they reduce down and monthly payment, which is great for lower-income viability and cottage industries. but this isn't enough hardcoded alignment, after all, any estate lawyer will tell you that managing estates inarticulably, without a will, is failure mode -- a consistent source of intrafamilial strife.
the estate annuity must be locally bound, and pre-appropriated to a combo of public works & a role model system. there's a kind of Georgist-Ricardian-Harberger providence insomuch that the local government gains institutional fiat, issuing more municipal instruments on leverage with lower time preference and smoother toxicity, counterbalanced by a healthy-growth community of handy people, backed by a flow-to-reserve of hardened store-of-value, and assertive of generational succession which avoids the "broken window" prelude to ghost towns.
this also compels literal longevity, as everyone will want to buy time to compete ahead of universal basic backstop, even though simultaneously there will be clearer incentive for their successors to work parcels for the aforementioned social standing.
in the end, it's just more optionality, and the real question is who the beholder should be. but leverage over shorter time should be suboptimal on first principles, and longer term payout is a worthy tool for community maintenance.
