"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." ― Noam Chomsky

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” ― George Orwell

"A society committed to the institutionalization of values identifies the production of goods and services with the demand for such. Education which makes you need the product is included in the price of the product. School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is. In such a society marginal value has become constantly self-transcendent. It forces the few largest consumers to compete for the power to deplete the earth, to fill their own swelling bellies, to discipline smaller consumers, and to deactivate those who still find satisfaction in making do with what they have. The ethos of nonsatiety is thus at the root of physical depredation, social polarization, and psychological passivity." - Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society, 1970

One of the main elements that shaped my view of culture and aesthetics was the Czech cyberculture zine "Živel" Crazy typography, hacking, raves, futurism, porn, psychedelics, occultism.. Gave zero fucks about readability, periodicity, or profit. Basically a DIY utopia for post-communist kids.

I really like what ZKP2P doing, solid "middle-ground" onramp if you already have Revolut/PayPal/Venmo/etc -

ZKP2P

Fast, trust minimized and composable P2P onramp

I've seen two persian movies in the last few days: The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024) & It Was Just an Accident (2025) and I really enjoyed it... I'm looking forward to seeing more Iranian movies. #movies

Absolutely agree, i'm big fan of decentralized frontends. 1) The easiest option is not to have a single "official" frontend, but to have many - something like Liquity does

Run a frontend | Liquity V2

Run your own Liquity V2 frontend and get LQTY rewards in return. Discover resources, and guidelines to set up a Liquity V2 frontend.

2) Another option is to use IPFS and public gateways, like Tornado Cash and others do (the advantage is that if you have your own IPFS node, you can access the content directly) View quoted note →
