“pictures are created that fit and look good on white walls in galleries just as music is written that sounds good either in a dance club or a symphony hall (but probably not in both).”

“There used to be this dilemma between trustlessness and liquidity, and dual governance is effectively breaking that dilemma,” [Hasu] said. “You no longer have to choose — you can have both.” @lidofinance https://blockworks.co/news/lido-dao-dual-governance

“The future of human coordination isn't in static assets controlled by invisible cabals—it's in living systems where the social layer itself becomes the foundation.”

“A fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.”

“The profound penetration of fake accounts on the net greatly hampers its utility for credible human discourse and any ensuing deliberations and democratic decision making; it makes the net unsuitable for vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly; it makes the use of the net for person-to-person transactions, notably direct philanthropy, precarious; and in general it turns the net into an inhuman, even dangerous, ecosystem.”

One of my favorite design details of Farcaster (thanks @v and @dwr.eth ) is that once I changed from algo home to social graph home, the app doesn’t auto revert to the (expectedly) stickier surface. Some nice restraint to preserve user dignity.

“In the past, important information was painstakingly processed and stored in books, which were stored in buildings known as libraries. Whole societies, universities, were built in their vicinity because of how hard it was to access that archive of knowledge. Now we have the opposite problem: there is more information and more data about the world at hand than we can possibly handle. Upon querying the world, we need a summary of a summary of the answer before we can make sense of it. As a result, we turn to interpretive prosthetics like data visualization and statistics. This is, however, a “new normal” shift on which our knowledge institutions and economies are choking.“

“The language of hybrids is part of the problem. When something new appears, we may understand it as a combination of familiar things. A car is a “horseless carriage.” A handheld computer + camera + wireless data is a “mobile phone.” A metropolis woven with sensor networks and information technology is called a “smart city.” A blockchain is, more or less, “digital money.” And so on. Our formal and vernacular languages are strewn with horseless carriage metaphors. In the short term, hybrids may make sense by way of analogy and continuity, but soon they create confusion, and even fear, as the new evolves and resembles the familiar less and less.”
