Most private messengers encrypt the message. @SimpleXChat hides the identity, the graph, and — with Tor — the route. No phone number. No username. No user ID. No central social graph. Optional Tor/Orbot routing. That’s why SimpleX is different. Signal protects your chats. Telegram hides only Secret Chats by default. XChat encrypts content but still leaves metadata visible to X. SimpleX goes deeper: The server doesn’t know who you are. The network doesn’t need your phone number. And with Tor, even the route can be harder to trace. Encryption protects the message. SimpleX protects the map.

Exactly. The brain is always interpreting reality through context, memory, and threat prediction. For the monk, dream yoga may train attention inside an internally generated world. For someone with PTSD, a neutral sound can be tagged by the nervous system as danger before the cortex has time to reframe it. Same input. Different priors. Different body response. The nervous system doesn’t just experience reality, it predicts it.

@TheSynapseX @juliette_hiyb And it’s all contextual. For the monks, who have no time to waste, dream yoga is a vital part of their training, which is practically all mental. For a person with PTSD, an unexpected sound while getting the mail, can cause them to jump out of their skin. Being human is a trip.

I've been reading I Am a Strange Loop every night before bed and lately my dreams have become narrated by a kindly gentleman sitting in an armchair, spouting metaphors about my life. What book has permeated your dreams?

That’s a fascinating story. From a neuroscience POV, I wouldn’t take “more real” literally, but I understand why a dream yoga teacher might frame it that way. Dreams show how powerfully the brain can generate a convincing world from the inside. Waking life is more anchored by sensory input, but still constructed by the brain. So maybe the interesting part isn’t which world is “more real” it’s how both reveal the brain’s role in building experience.

@TheSynapseX @juliette_hiyb It’s extraordinarily fascinating. I heard a guy, who teaches dream yoga, say that a certain group of Tibetan Buddhists teach that the dream world is more real/important than our everyday awake experience. I don’t hold to that but it’s an interesting concept.

@starkience This is basically the STRK20 thesis on @Starknet @EliBenSasson : privacy for any ERC20, but without making users feel like they’re operating nuclear cryptography. Privacy only wins when shielding feels like a normal wallet action.

privacy on any ERC20 but the UX is actually good. anyone building this?

@brave Infinite scroll. @brave already blocks the web from tracking me, now I need it to block the feed from hypnotizing me.

What's one social media feature (besides ads) that you wish that Brave blocked?

@Bhai_John_inCA @juliette_hiyb I like that framing a lot. Maybe the mind is where thoughts arise, and awareness is what notices them. That’s what makes lucid dreaming so fascinating: awareness comes online inside the dream, while the dream keeps running.

@TheSynapseX @juliette_hiyb I like that last sentence, but view myself, consciousness, and the mind differently. The mind thinks. I can observe this thinking (when I’m mindful 😄). So, what observes mind thinking is either me or consciousness, perhaps both simultaneously.

@AnthropicAI The real AI safety upgrade is not asking agents to behave better. It is building systems where even a capable, confused, or manipulated agent still cannot exceed its blast radius.

New on the Engineering Blog: The access and permissions we grant agents should evolve with their capabilities. In our own products, we set these parameters through sandboxing, which limits the scope of any potentially destructive actions. Read more: anthropic.com/engineering/ho…

This is the part of AI safety people underestimate: The future is not just smarter agents. It is smaller blast radius. Anthropic’s lesson is clear: approval prompts fatigue. Model safeguards miss edge cases. Even “trusted” domains can become exfiltration paths. So real agent safety starts at the environment layer: sandboxed execution, scoped filesystems, egress controls, revocable permissions, and hard boundaries that still hold when the model, the user, or the tool output gets tricked. Capability without containment is not intelligence. It is automation with root access.

@Davincij15 Exactly. The goal is not endless wealth. It is having enough peace, security, and freedom to enjoy life without constantly worrying about survival.

The idea isn't about making millions and millions. It's about making enough to feel comfortable and enjoy life without worry.

@redbull A deadline, 3% battery, and the confidence of a man with no plan.

what’s the best combo with a Red Bull?

@TheInsiderPaper Maybe Beverly Hills has everything except the village WiFi password: peace.

JUST IN - Elon Musk says he observed average happiness in a village in Africa is higher than the average happiness in Beverly Hills!

@elonmusk A single-planet civilization is a single point of failure. Mars is not a luxury. It is redundancy for consciousness.

Mostly true. What matters is securing the long-term future of consciousness, both on Earth and other heavenly bodies. We cannot just focus on Earth, because there are irreducible external (eg massive meteor) and internal (eg global nuclear war) cataclysmic risks. The Moon is faster to make self-growing, but is more susceptible to problems on Earth. Mars will take longer to make self-growing, because it is so hard to reach, but is more secure from Earth disasters for that same reason. Both the Moon and Mars should have self-growing civilizations. Making this happen is the prime directive of SpaceX.

@nym The difference between Digital ID and a surveillance system is whether “verify me” becomes “track me.”

The difference between Digital ID and a surveillance system is _________

Exactly — the old internet left everyone with a permanent shadow. But that doesn’t make privacy obsolete. It makes privacy more necessary. Because in a scam-driven, manipulation-heavy digital world, the issue is not whether data exists. It’s who can exploit it, combine it, and weaponize it.

Being online in the 90's left me a data trail decades long. There is no hiding. See no evil hear, no evil say, no evil has been replace by just: do no evil. Yet social construct and manipulations can skew even the most perceptive. Scam culture is at an all time high and these attempted manipulations should be delt with.

Anonymity separates your identity from your actions. Encryption hides content. Metadata exposes patterns. And OPSEC protects the links between all of them. That is the part people miss. You can use encrypted apps and still leak yourself through timing, contacts, device fingerprints, payment trails, IP history, writing style, reused usernames, and behavioral patterns. The internet does not need to read your messages to understand you. It can often map you from the signals around the message. Who you contact. When you connect. Where you log in. Which device you use. Which accounts you link. How consistently you behave. 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽. 𝗔𝗻𝗼𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁. They are layers. Device security.

@Starknet YES. Privacy arc activated. Just shield it. 🥷🔥

Just Shield it.

That’s the nuance I agree with. The danger is when “security” becomes the language used to normalize unlimited access. I wouldn’t say privacy doesn’t exist — I’d say privacy is not absolute. It only survives when access has boundaries, warrants, oversight, and consequences. “Right hands” is trust. Privacy is what protects you when the hands change.

@TheSynapseX @derf_liw It was more of a nuance about the patriot act used as a guise to block terror yet used as the method for surveillance and lack there of privacy. There is no such thing a privacy. But I think my data is safe in the right hands in which I support.

@mert Imagine building a global economy and then panicking because dollars learned how to use WiFi.

if putting money on the internet threatens your economy, perhaps consider strengthening your economy

@drivingtipdaily @derf_liw That’s a patriotic position, honestly. Defending privacy is not anti-security. It is defending the boundary that keeps security from becoming unlimited access.

@TheSynapseX @derf_liw Not sure because one of those rights protected you from search and seizure. Data and access to such encompasses both yet "rights" are ignored. Users have been sold out in the name of protection and security while a parody. I'm just a patriot.

@EliBenSasson This is the right direction for crypto privacy. Not just stronger cryptography, but privacy that becomes usable, composable, and practical for real apps. Great to see Starknet pushing that frontier.

Privacy szn is on. Starknet is ready. Privacy + UX + Composability.

@drivingtipdaily @derf_liw Exactly, power can make privacy feel “null and void,” but that’s also why the principle matters more. Rights are tested most when systems are strong enough to ignore them.

@derf_liw @TheSynapseX Irony proves true, but when you have a military like ours null N void. That's a poem.

@Bhai_John_inCA @juliette_hiyb Exactly. Lucid dreaming might be one of the clearest versions of that feeling the mind becoming aware of its own simulation while still inside it. A strange little moment where consciousness catches itself in the act.

@TheSynapseX @juliette_hiyb What an extraordinary sentence: “my brain is now watching itself.” Seems it would apply well to lucid dreaming.
