PART 2 - FROM BIG BANG TO BLOCKCHAIN Again, @mechanikalk and @jgreenhall back at it. This one covers the philosophy and design constraints of building a decentralized, scalable, monetary system. Enjoy!

@wilder_meta @QuaiNetwork @mechanikalk Will give it a read!

Attached is my deep dive on @QuaiNetwork Architecture as well as expanding on it with both holographic and braided workshares. Shoutout to @Steph_Curdy & @mechanikalk for leading me down this rabbit hole 🐇. braided-holographic-poem.tiiny.site

@HemantVajaria @0xalank @stephen_wolfram @jdowning @mechanikalk @ShreekaraS Not yet, this was next step.

@0xalank @stephen_wolfram @jdowning @mechanikalk @ShreekaraS Curious, if we have any podcast/discussion lined up between Dr K and Stephen Wolfram?

exciting conversations happening behind the scenes with Stephen Wolfram regarding the future of agentic payments, stablecoins, oracles, and physics 🧙‍♂️

My quants

A masterclass in interdisciplinary thinking. Listen to @stephen_wolfram talk about the unification of mathematics, metamathematics and physics at the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere in Milan, Italy as part of their Leonardo da Vinci lecture series. open.spotify.com/episode/2zKvXf…

@joseangelSP500 This is a fun graphic

Go off Queen

@danielvf Thanks! Learned something new. I can tip you on X, but it's with a token called $QUAI Want some?

This exact string of bytecode has been deployed more than 40 million times, averaging more than 25 times per unique contract on ethereum. It makes up 8.16% of all code on Ethereum. What is up with this? Thread... 1/4

Did you know the NSA published a Cryptocurrency Paper 12 Years Before Bitcoin?

@HemantVajaria Good good. Getting prepped to do some livestreams

@Steph_Curdy We can hear you

Welcome to our live show! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@HemantVajaria Was testing going live, don’t watch it haha

@Steph_Curdy Join in guys!

@covetrade Hey

@Steph_Curdy hey queen 😘

Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong. Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names". For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy. In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system". But they're not. They can't be the justice system. The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve. Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you? No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system. The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe. If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse. In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite. Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat. We all understand this. We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act. Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to. We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again. And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again. The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you. Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute. It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.

$QUAI question mark

@FutureDies Fair

@Steph_Curdy Well it's apples-to-oranges PoW multiple nodes compete but one wins per block The recent Solana stuff is multiple nodes contributing parts into the same block

Blown away to learn that the leading edge research on Solana is now focused on multiple concurrent leaders when proof of work gave us that day 1 out of the box. Am I mistaken?

Knowledge work has levels. AI is stretching the capability of knowledge workers to reach new heights and new depths. It is happening right now. And I'm guessing it's going to look, feel, and sound like NOISE simply because the metabolism of collective knowledge workers were 1) each individually limited in depth to few domains of expertise and 2) most of these ideas are bigger than the digestion rate of current knowledge workers (knowledge organizations). The "Noise" is the inability to digest the ongoing expansion of knowledge into coherent clusters of sense-making. A gradient is opening and widening. In hydrology there's a saying, "what's one liter of clean water mixed with one liter of shit water? A: Two liters of shit water." So how many liters of clean water will it take to dilute the shit water before we KNOW what's happening to the expansion of knowledge work as new insights, breakthroughs, and proper collective sensemaking? I fear that we are simply going to fracture in this space. We'll try to find others, but people need to put out their coordinates. I imagine agents will be coordinate locaters, perpetually seeking coherence and shooting off flares (or K9s sniffing out threats). The opportunity is a widening gradient. To surf the space, descend and reascend, map it and exploit the peaks and valleys. If one gets good at it, they will bring others along for the ride.
