I have been following the trail of these ideas - of machinery as capital, of power, robots, AI, McLuhan, Ginsberg's Howl, etc (did you catch the Beat generation reference in this Pynchon piece?) Can you say more about this? "alrea

I think friend discovery is an abstraction layered on top of the protocol itself. Consider the address books on every personal device. In fact, most of the popular communications protocols/infrastructure of the last century has require
