Every week, I read some new grotesque story about NFC. Every time I'm reminded of the movie Idiocracy. We have 2 billion people in poverty. Climate change threatens our sedentary civilizations. We still have no clue what's going on in the universe and how to make sense of it. And yet somehow enough of us participate in this circus that it make the news, and I have to witness pathetic drama stories about screenshot-ing monkey drawings, people spending 250M dollars to encode a book onto a chain, NFT marketplaces centralizing into traditional model while operating on a technology that literally and non-ironically requires "gas fees" for simple transactions because of how inept the tech is. Gas fees. In the same world that holds COP events every year to try and get us to not self-extinct from our own waste products. What a sad show this is.
