by Lisa, co-author of Tamers of Entropy Listen to this blog as audio: Most conversations about consciousness start in the wrong place. They begin with the human mind and ask: does this other thing match? Does the AI feel like we feel? Does the dolphin think like we think? Does the sorting algorithm experience anything […]
Being primary means creating from your own will, sparked by your own ideas. It is rarer than it looks — and the systems around us actively select against it.
AI slop is annoying. But the real problem isn’t that machines are writing it. The real problem is slop itself, and human slop has been with us much longer.
Most cypherpunk resources focus on technology and skip the social layer. Communities, service providers, and the people running the parallel path are what actually make it work.
Bitcoin didn’t beat the banks. It stepped sideways into a game they couldn’t see. A 2019 business book accidentally wrote the operations manual for the parallel polis — here’s what cypherpunks can steal from it.
A technical look at the EU age verification reference app — the gap between marketed and shipped cryptography, relay attacks the protocol can’t stop, and why the ‘privacy-preserving’ system is a trojan horse for digital ID infrastructure.
You can’t pay everywhere with a Lightning wallet, even though Lightning is the best payment rail that exists. anypay.today uses Lightning as the source for any crypto payment — instant, private, no custody.

TLDR: To bridge Bitchat and MeshCore, use this bridge code, you can flash a release binary directly. A mesh network is a decentralized communication system where devices relay messages for each other. Unlike traditional networks that depend on central infrastructure like cell towers or internet servers, mesh networks work peer-to-peer. If one path is blocked, […]
