Came off age too early for true interstellar explorations, too late for true uncharted earth bound territorial explorations but just in time for arbitrary land-based control over electromagnetic waves ( and B2B SaaS )

Random reading on Tether ended with me reading about Paradise Papers. Which further took me to glance at the list of Indian names in it, cause why not. And I guess I shouldn't be surprised by now but I was still a little shocked. One of the ministers tasked with providing legal and regulatory basis for crypto-companies operating out of India is up there along with a "world-famous" hindi movie star. Gloomy gloom this.

"After DEGEN notified Conduit that they did not intend to continue as a client, Conduit confiscated the sequencer fees that should have been routed to DEGEN. " Imagine reading those lines from a service provider. This is a crime not to mention their reputation damage.

“With inefficient bureaucratic institutions, the effects of laws are hard to assess and incompetent politicians may pass laws to build a reputation as skillful reformers. Since too many laws curtail bureaucratic efficiency, this mechanism can generate a steady state with Kafkaesque bureaucracy.” Via a @yak reading on https://gratton.org/papers/WebertoKafka.pdf

After spending a few days immersed in the ancient and medieval part of Rome, moving on to Roma Termini is just a giant whiplash

The more questions I find answers for, the more questions I seem to have. Is spirituality all about just making peace with this endless loop of questions and answers? 🤔

TIL. It is a *fun* fact. Really dig subversions like that. I also only recently learnt that many Catholic Churches around the world point towards the Vatican as a mark of respect.

In Rome for the first time. And, randomly ran into this statue of Giordono Bruno in Campo de’ Fiori. ChatGPT tells me that he was burnt to death in 1600 for his “controversial” views, including his belief in an infinite universe with countless inhabited worlds. 😳

TIL that there are 24 countries under the American sanctioned list. I was naively assuming a single digit count.
