You keep changing your set of links by editing the comment (mutability sure is convenient, huh!), so I can't easily respond to all of them, but I just read that first link, the "Blockchains never forget" one, and hoo boy, I really wish I spent my time doing anything else. Want to have an honest conversation about it?
Let's start with my summary: techbro discovers the concept of paying people for their time, and also keeping records about it, and waxes philosophically about that whole idea for way too long. Techbros really need to get out of their bubble once in a while......
- timdaub 5y agoThe problem with your comment is that you're not being fair to both sides of the argument. So I'm not sure what to really respond... You're also calling that author a "techbro" which I guess they don't fully deserve. I don't know them or if they're a "techbro". I appreciate that they put so much time into writing a free public blog. Anyways, I still believe that there's an interesting and respectful conversation to be had.
- Jasper_ 5y agoThe author of that post didn't really give me a central argument or thesis to discuss. It was more of an extended diatribe on the possibilities of the future, and my only response is "These are not new ideas, please read up on history". If you don't believe that's respectful or interesting, then I'm sorry, but I just don't feel it's very good conversation fodder. Feel free to strike up a conversation and let me know how it goes.
