To a certain, network states are inevitable, their economies even surpass those of many small nation-states.
Buidl & Conviction
This past week, I stepped out of my familiar Freedom Tech lens and began to observe freedom in life itself.
Across several dance classes, Muslim women taught in a mixed-gender public space. Such a scene remains difficult, even controversial, in many cultures.
Yet they stood there: teaching with confidence and joy. Women of different religions joined as well, sharing the space with kindness and openness.
It was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had. Not about technique, but about freedom, kindness, and shared humanity.
It made me reflect on how freedom grows and seeks space for expression within existing cultures, social orders, and boundaries of power.
Freedom Tech is one force that helps enable such expression. But in the end, all forces ultimately distill into something simple and precious: joy, kindness, calm, and compassion.
The academic monopoly chain:
Researchers create → Paywalled publishing → Users pay to download (including the authors themselves) → Publishers keep profiting 💸
Now even decentralized platforms like Sci-Hub are starting to introduce token-based paywalls.
🤔 Shall we build a decentralized academic publishing network on Nostr?
Organizational ontology helps drive real decisions.

Traveling back, I get a survey call: “Where have you been? What work are you doing abroad? When are you coming back?” I’ve lived abroad for years, submitted all the documents to show I’m settled, yet these calls come several times a year. Claimed to be for “citizen safety,” they often feel like invasions of privacy, making me wonder if I’ve done something wrong.
It’s similar to why I created the decentralized media client, Yakihonne. Certain topics are always censored or deleted, and using a VPN draws strange looks, as if I’m guilty just for seeking open information. But it’s simply about personal rights.
When I asked how they knew my travel information, the caller honestly told me: phone location tracking. At that moment, I decided to cancel my home country’s phone number and bank account.
The limitless censorship is making you increasingly disillusioned with a country.
