A network state doesn't work without taxes on its citizens but nobody is ready for that conversation.

it's hard to ignore the possibility that speech will not be as free in the future, like Shenck vs United States, where someone protesting the draft in a World War was twisted into "shouting fire in a crowded theater" (overturned by Brandenburg v Ohio)
code is a natural de facto right, and any state that attacks the flow of information will inevitably yield to markets outside of its jurisdiction.

Thomas Jefferson was so deeply in debt after years of using leverage against his land to fund a lavish lifestyle that he resorted to auctioning off Monticello by selling ~11,000 tickets for $10 each (~$2-3MM today), turning his entire estate into a lottery He died before things played out and Monticello was sold to pay creditors Those identifying with the permanent underclass saw this as a shot at escaping. The idea of "hypergambling into elite status" dates back to the inception of the United States and continues to show up in markets and culture, manifesting itself into what we see as the hyperfinancialization of quite literally everything Itโs one of the primary reasons I remain optimistic on crypto and speculation in general (beyond adoption of crypto rails) Itโs the most efficient large scale lottery/casino weโve seen in decades, and I donโt see that changing anytime soon

cash lottery to a social leaderboard defaults to purposeless offramp. tickets can accrue by evolving social criteria, redraws can be secondarily priced, and some productive assets can be stewarded from a distance.

a permissionless goods lottery needs escrow, where the winning ticket can call a redraw after grace period. the reputation can be derived, rather than incentivizing frivolous complaints. lots of options, like transferrability or delegation to chain of custody.

@deepfates super as in "supergroup"? most of modernity is superintelligent
if this is super as in supernatural, that's in the eye of the beholder.

when you normalize giving discretionary emergency powers to a committee, you effectively import the worst parts of the existing "democratic" system
in other words you import democracy with discretion over specific groups/actors. this combination is effectively what the administrative-state critique, from hayek through the public-choice literature through the post-2008 financial-regulation debates, has targeted
you can try to justify via the ends all you want but procedurally it runs counter to the raison d'etre of crypto
if you're going to have rules to deal with these things that are credibly neutral then they cannot be discretionary, which means they need to be formally articulated in advance and be generally applicable

@gfodor no, the labor market won't collapse except for some premium, and that income will need to be supplemented by a competition of dividends. there's always more solar power and signal to process at a distance.

It would be much easier if you're going to take a position against UBI you say if you agree or disagree with the premise that AI is going to collapse the market price of human labor, and propose an alternative solution. 99% of commentators are failing this simple test.

ok i solved UHI/UBI, pack it up. since agency matters more than intelligence, govt gives every person compute and a robot and can build from there. the market is now billions of personal economies. gamers rise up.

airdrops don't need to be extractive, the project can release a permit/NFT/GPU periodically, and the proceeds from the market discovery remains accountable to public results (without revealing everything else). warrant problem isn't as severe if tickets are soulbound.

the yield is never priced in every form of capital involved.

Imagine the prices of all goods and services were slashed by 1000x, but if you tried to find a job, raise money for a startup, or sell anything yourself youโd find no counterparty whatsoever.
Now imagine thatโs true for most people.
Whatโs the logical solution to this?
