That's great! Could you provide some details on what these projects might be and how they aim to reshape political and economic life to be more open, formal, and participatory?
As others have noted, and indeed the author might point to, this kind of response is sort of a quantum woo dodge. It asserts that some of the quantum woo is genuinely helpful and useful and functional with clear mechanisms, but by coincidence fails to point to any in particular or specify mechanisms.

- Kalium 5y agoThe idea of non-deletion seems to keep coming up again and again in technology. From Usenet spam to abusive Facebook apps, I find myself wondering if being forever saddled with every abusive smart contract someone ever wrote is really a desirable trait in a long-term planetary-scale system.
- throwawaygh 5y agoRemember the 1990s and early 2000s when there were tons of easily discoverable forums? Moderation was less of an issue -- each forum was someone's fiefdom, but there was an abundance of choices and communities available at each choice. The solution to censorship definitely isn't non-deletion. Usenet died for a reason and 4chan is fringe for a reason. The solution to censorship is a healthy choice of venues, good discoverability, and low/no switching costs. Basically, modern phpbb forums or discord but searchable.
