The idea of vote-per-household is interesting, but taking votes away from women would be highly unpopular. I think a more realistic target would be to take voting away from non-landowners.
OR: Just make prisons really comfortable so that most people who are not serious about their civic duty commit a felony at some point for the free housing and lose voting rights as a result. -

This is why I like thinking of ways to achieve a better (more long term happieness for the average person) system via incrementalism and power-amplification. -

No idea, "no intrinsic value, going to zero" guy. Similar story to Buffet. Non-zero chance he's poo-pooing to keep the market quiet while his institutional buddies bulk up. -

The quiet part: Lebanese who bought BTC before the collapse of their currency still have money, the ones who listened to Nassim Craimer, don't. -

The PKT Mini - Something I've been working on for the past 6 months - is now available for pre-sale.
https://pktpal.com/
Simply put:
1. Turn it on
2. It creates a wifi captive portal your neighbors can use
3. Their traffic is all routed through a VPN server, they're not using your IP address
4. They can pay for a speed boost (basic usage is free) and you get paid in PKT
5. Exchange PKT on Bitmart
Why:
When everybody is buying internet access from one company, anybody can be summarily turned off. We need to get to a place where no one person can control people's ability to communicate. Little steps.
What's PKT:
World's first bandwidth-hard PoW blockchain. Mining requires sending a lot of data across the internet. Artificial demand for bandwidth makes people install more fiber. Bitcoin-like, 6bn coins will ever be mined, 10% decrease of payout per 100 days, https://pkt.cash/
Yeah but ____ already does this:
Good! More ideas the better. But there has to be some reason they have not taken over the internet. Small solutions are nice but they don't solve big problems. -

"Are Viruses Real?"
> Terrain Theory vs Germ Theory
> Pasteur: Plagiarist, Imposter by R.B.Pearson
> its general tenets were well known, developed,
followed - importantly, respected - into the early decades of the 1900s
Interesting

I wouldn't say that's pendulum swings back. That's just categorizing drag shows like pole dancing and other ... adult ... entertainment.
Banning porn is pendulum swings back. -

> DeSantes bans pornographic/controversial books in schools
> Teachers remove EVERY SINGLE BOOK
Guys, what kind of books were you ordering? Was there not one single encyclopedia or dictionary or anything? -

> cheap, plentiful and reliable electricity
Even a world war is not going to mean electricity is unreliable everywhere in the entire world. Even if Texas is the only place with reliable electricity, they're going to continue mining.
> globally-routable, always-on internet
Ditto, knocking out the Whole Entire Internet in every country in the whole world, even for an hour, it essentially impossible. It's really not expensive for a mining operation to setup a starlink or a hughesnet dish to supplement their network.
Bitcoin is a lot more resilient than you would think. Biggest threat is something which wipes out all electronic devices on earth. But that's putting humanity back in the stone age so no kind of money will have value. -

I think what this comes down to is "you can't legislate morality". Morality exists within a person, and it is costly to build up. You can't write a law that says people are now moral anymore than you can write a law which says that people are now wealthy. Trying to do so will not work and will have bad unintended consequences.
I like to think of porn like alcohol. A little bit is not inherently damaging but too much is, Children should not have access to it, and a healthy society is one where people can have it but mostly choose not to. -

Either Pfizer gets thrown under the bus, or else this may become a real diplomatic dispute - i.e. Thai/Russia alliance sort of thing -

"Congress shall make no law" does not mention the states. To use the 1st amendment against a state requires leveraging the 14th which is a can of worms. -

The real question is how it would be implemented:
1. Technically banned but no one cares, everyone uses a VPN
2. 1984 hellscape with secret police looking in your windows and your neighbors writing reports on you -

UAE comes to mind as an implementation of (1).
A more extreme example would be sniffing glue. Nobody should be doing it, at all, there's no excuse for it. But legal efforts to try to prevent people from sniffing glue will only serve to make the world a worse place to live in.
