Last Notes npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance You can download it from their website for free or buy a printed copy in most bookstores. Cool that you are interested to look into it. Once youâve read it, let me know what you think! npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance You raise a compelling pointâand decentralized democracy doesnât necessarily disagree with the value of strong, autonomous individuals. But it does challenge the idea that such individuals exist prior to their social context. Instead of starting with the individual as an isolated atom, decentralized democracy asks: what actually constitutes an individual? It suggests that autonomy emerges from relationshipsâespecially through oneâs relation to property, expression, and influence. These arenât just things an individual âhasâ; theyâre co-shaped through interaction with others and the world. In this view, society isnât built on individualsâitâs built through the relational processes that allow individuality to emerge in the first place. npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance I recently came across an open-source book project called Plurality that critiques both libertarianism and technocracyânot just in terms of who holds power, but in how they imagine society. Both reduce the world to isolated individuals (atoms) and a collective system (whether centrally planned or market-driven). They mainly differ in who commands authority, not how authority actually emerges. Plurality proposes something different: decentralized democracy rooted in relationshipsâbetween people, communities, and their environments. It suggests governance should emerge from these interactions, not from abstract ideals of either individualism or centralized control. Interestingly, this relational philosophy aligns more with how Bitcoin actually works: not top-down, not purely individualist, but through a decentralized network of mutual verification, incentives, and evolving consensus. npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance âPluralityâ is defined as âtechnology for collaboration across social differenceâ. This contrasts with a common element between Libertarianism and Technocracy: that both consider the world to be made up of atoms (viz. individuals) and a social whole, a view we call âmonist atomismâ. While they take different positions on how much authority should go to each, they miss the core idea of Plurality, that intersecting diverse social groups and the diverse and collaborative people whose identities are constituted by these intersections are the core fabric of the social world. https://image.nostr.build/5bb145ae0bba52b200e8de364ba2cfa0643d094d0c0e9161160e084ee951219b.jpg npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance Apparently their business model is focussing on building âthe digital financial rails of the futureâ.

Classical computing had Mooreâs Law doubling transistors every ~2 years. Now quantum computing has its own trajectory. Oxford Quantum Circuits is scaling fastâare we approaching the inflection point? Around 100-200 high-fidelity qubits, we unlock simulation power beyond classical supercomputersâthink molecular modeling, optimization, Shorâs algorithm at scale. The hardware curve is steep. But the true bottleneck: fault-tolerance + quantum error correction. Mooreâs Law for quantum â just more qubitsâitâs about coherent, controllable, and connected qubits. The computing power of a quantum computer is statistical and therefore allows to grow exponentially with the number of qubits. To that end, we are entering a post-Moore era in which computing hardware economical market optimization is done on computing power and efficiency instead of number of transistors - Koomeyâs law this is called. đ§Șđ #quantumAdvantage #nostr #qubitScaling #mooresLaw #oxfordquantumcircuits https://image.nostr.build/164e779339fd9f3f18b84aa80e0f399423fc877b0d025e217141eb888471fe24.jpg npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance Thanks, sounds like an interesting podcast! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ0s7kCTUW8&t=823s&pp=2AG3BpACAQ%3D%3D npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance Who is Pico? Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463â1494) was a key figure of the Italian Renaissance â a philosopher, theologian, and humanist best known for his work Oration on the Dignity of Man, often called the âManifesto of the Renaissance.â Why is Pico important? âą Human dignity & freedom: In a time when most people believed their place in the world was fixed (by God, tradition, or social hierarchy), Pico argued that human beings are unique because they have free will â the ability to shape themselves through reason and choice. He believed that humans are not bound by fate or biology, but are free to ascend toward the divine or fall into corruption based on their own actions. âą Synthesis of knowledge: Pico sought to reconcile diverse philosophies â Christian, Jewish (Kabbalistic), Islamic, Greek (especially Plato and Aristotle) â aiming to show that all wisdom pointed to universal truths. This made him a symbol of intellectual openness and unity. âą The Oration on the Dignity of Man: In this text, Pico writes that God placed man âin the middle of the world,â with no fixed nature â so that humans might shape themselves âinto whatever form they shall prefer.â This was radical: it placed agency and moral responsibility squarely on the individual. https://image.nostr.build/8867d8b96fa1d795e881c2a2b8af5c4045293c00797a1e50c4bfcb5950a18357.jpg npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance In 1486, Pico della Mirandola wrote that humans alone shape their own nature â not by decree, but by choice. This was the Renaissance idea of dignity: that freedom begins within, and flows outward through thought, word, and creation. Today, the EUâs âGoing Darkâ initiative seeks to place a key in every lock â to open every private channel of communication âjust in case.â But if every message can be read, every thought traced, what remains of the space where freedom once began? Can a democracy born of Renaissance ideals survive when its citizens are never truly alone? #GoingDark #privacy #Encryption #Renaissance #PicoDellaMirandola #freedomtech #bitcoin #freedom https://mullvad.net/nl/why-privacy-matters/going-dark https://image.nostr.build/c00d6bb486ade25c2ac40d519d39f5d017db8c885946c02e8e6c48bda17755d8.jpg npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance https://www.wsj.com/science/physics/microsoft-quantum-computing-physicists-skeptical-d3ec07f0 npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance The concept of a Majorana particle based quantum computer is very cool, however the claims of MS on their accomplishments are dubious based on the data they show. Take the latest publication, looking for a spectral signature of interference is the most basic aspect - ultimately you would want to be able to control and check the phase information of quantum particle in an individual and time-resolved manner. In a sense, this is what a topological qubit would amount to. Claiming topological qubit without any supporting evidence makes the paper and claims fragile. MS will have to show a lot more to overcome the reputation they have built since the first papers were retracted from 2017-2018. https://image.nostr.build/840cd1fa910eab7201e4c8d4ccd47aae576c5b5710376d6f3a01e1068a42f63d.jpg npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance Hoera for bitcoin being over 100k And Hoera for bitcoin being under 100k 1 btc = 1 btc đ„ npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance Neither is the point. The point is the observation of groups making cost-benefit based decisions where to live and execute on these decisions. It shows a government is forced to treat its civilians more as if they are their customers. This aligns with the points brought forward in the Sovereign Individual: different nation states competing with each other for civilians willing to live in their country and contributing to it through taxation. npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance How the Sovereign Individual plays out in real: The failure of Norwayâs wealth tax hike as a warning signal https://www.brusselsreport.eu/2024/09/11/the-failure-of-norways-wealth-tax-hike-as-a-warning-signal/ npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance Hayek on his thesis of denationalization of money https://v2.akord.com/public/vaults/active/aca816f8-7f2b-4e86-ad97-f3a336c372dd/gallery#3ac1a755-bcfb-4a11-83be-56be72eb2bd9 npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance Do we live in a democracy?

Countries struggling more with inflation today also tend to have higher bitcoin adoption. With that being said, you can wonder whether it is adoption on the individual level or on state level that will be best at predicting timelines. From the nation state perspective I can imagine adoption could be realized extremely fast - within âone generationâ. However it requires fiat to die due to inflation with no way of doing a 2008. That phenomenon sets the timeline dominantly. npub18ndfwey3wnyw58mfmmjl9x5mazpkvqquk2j7hcv2vnv99gdfre7sh24aa3 digitalrenaissance Cool post of Svetski on the adoption trend!
