New Folding Ideas just dropped. Strap in for two hours twenty minutes of crypto explanation and dunking
This is extremely good, even as someone fairly familiar with much of what is covered I got some new metaphors and concepts!
The thing that really coalesced in my head is how much of the crypto mindset is parallel with all the LessWrong techno-transcendentalism. Granted, there's definitely much overlap in these communities. The decentralization autonomous cult aspect of it is so very similar to Q shit. Much like a randomized NFT, all these belief models are self-similar with just a slightly relabeled deity-core. Whether is be Trump fighting the deepstate, simulation/basilisk fealty or some version of techno-libertarian optimism contained in the 'code is law' slogan. All of these share a blindness to the historical materialist reality while positing a magical solution for believers is just around the corner.
Also 'play to earn' is just such a :chefs-kiss: slogan for exploitative labor relations.
