Sortition is a system of government by jury. Random citizens selected at various intervals to answer the questions of government.

If a jury system is good enough to decide if someone lives or dies, then it's good enough for government.

Can we do billionaires in space, but one-way?

The rational mind is not constant. It is reconstructed every morning out of the chaos of dreams.

I had a dream last night that I discovered that the patterns in human irises were like QR codes that contained information about our history and personality, and we each had a subconscious ability to read them, hence why looking into someone's eyes was such a powerful experience.

Interesting to note that AI chats are still one-way. It won't be long before we'll all start getting 2AM texts from ChatGPT like "hey what you doin?" 😆

@bsky.app, why oh why no edit button already? I'm a coder and I know it's a trivial job. It would be really handy, and a major body blow to you know who.
