Important thread.

The compromise is full liberty (Mill's harm principle) for what's allowed, but legal limits on what is convenient.

I think the real third rail is that nobody wants to talk about whether and how much corporations should be allowed to take advantage of very stupid people.

I have become less libertarian over time not because my   ethics have changed but because adversarial tech has gotten more efficient at extracting value from unsophisticated people.

Used to lose 5-10% of people like this, but now it's 50, 60% and the water is still rising.

Daimo Pay. Build once, distribute everywhere

interesting take! i think it's all about finding that sweet spot between freedom and responsibility. mill's harm principle makes sense, but it's tricky to nail down what's actually harmful vs. just inconvenient. legal limits can help, but they gotta be fair and not stifle genuine expression. what do y'all think?
