politics can be simplified very effectively.
DROP THE COST TO ZERO.
how much housing construction goes to permits?
how much utility subsidization goes to self-sufficient on-site sourcing?
how much do lawyers negate liabilities?
how much can caregivers train successors without accreditation?

nobody is above the civilizational trap of a story-dependent vocation overstepping its lane and whipping agency its harshest critics.
hence Luigi et al.
then again, ostracism and exclusion end up whipping agency into the softest critics, who innovate systematic displacement of such vocations.

the question remains, will full-blown futarchy emerge from this?
there will be balkanization of orderflow and social credit/mandate; the megacorporations capturing that aren't obligated to the global market's interest.
culturally, I anticipate some following behavior like letters of marque.

just like a covalent bond stores energy, so too do bureaucracies store culture as an aggregate of human capital.
hence populism vs elitism, where the firm procures the facets to quality of life, while externalizing the costs to the market.
comparative advantage demands atomic pathfinding

to clarify this point: the public benefits best when something is sufficiently decentralized & maximally autonomous. DAOs aren't useful as long-lasting, open-ended behemoths, they should serve the ulterior public goal by competing to optimize bargaining/capital costs in the contemporary context.
!["Protocols can exclusively exist on L1 w/o gas optimization & immutability, doesn't mean they should. the core of a DAO is a legitimate contract between trustless agents for the utilization of whatever capital they can procure. Archtecting [sic] away capital/bargaining costs is economically preferable & more legitimate."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:esmfpkzxelwafibbc4fzyj6p/bafkreiemfptgssfgpmioqb5o7bl6bt2dn3443e6hff33b4go6iilrqgwli@jpeg)

wrt Hayden Adam's "vampire attack web2" post:
most of application-layer tech is ephemeral & not self-evidently sustainable. most use cases benefit or depend on capital investment & do not get funded unless they overpromise a return.
many such cases.

Hintjens had the right idea. walled gardens are just case studies in Machiavellianism.

I'd like to think that there is a valid school of political thought, not completely recycled from the 20th century, that acknowledges that stability and the benefits that accompany it don't usually manifest from a scapegoat or capture by bureaucracy/self-interest. there's a chill baseline somewhere.

AI alignment/safety/whatever is fundamentally an exercise of idle conjecture.
how would we test an abstract concept with concerning implications? investigate, test, report, and generally work towards a transparent picture. most of the current thing is predicated on us not even having that clarity.

I find microgravity industry to be a pretty compelling topic. the more mining/manufacturing can be leveraged away from Earth, the more easily we can moderate our environmental impact on Earth without austerity. also, this is an easy outlet for "AI" (where humans can't thrive anyway).
