In war we focus on the human cost, and generally this is the right approach, but we need not ignore all other impacts. While we tally casualties and argue, another toll is mounting. My wife looked into some of the data of the environmental costs. https://www.ouruncertainfuture.com/p/the-environmental-impacts-of-war

Decentralization is simply the ongoing process of trying to redistribute power and resources to the edges where they're actually needed more. The trick is doing so without creating new systems of centralized control. (3/3)

Things that have become cliché like "the rich get richer" or the hollowing out of Middle America, or even the intolerable experience of trying to get any satisfactory customer service anywhere in 2024 are all symptoms of systems that have become overly centralized. (2/3)

I think decentralization is actually something a lot of people understand intuitively, but we don't have common language to express. (1/3) https://www.ouruncertainfuture.com/p/the-story-of-decentralization

If these were the use cases people were talking about instead of meme coins, crypto wouldn’t have a PR issue, it would have a throughput issue.

Donating as little as a few dollars worth of token can go a long way thanks to the wonders of quadratic funding. And, of course, your support will be recorded for all of posterity.

Enter Seed Protocol, designed to make any content’s online footprint permanent while preserving ownership. If Web3 were a default publishing layer, content meant to be permanent – like journalism – really would be, alongside a record of revisions, corrections and annotations – a more complete historical record.

Often outlets go defunct and dark, or they’re bought out by a larger corporation and retired, or at odds with the latest rebranding or growth strategy. Most recently, an outlet told me over 700 of my articles written over a span of twelve years were being pulled offline for reasons of “SEO alignment.”

The experience is common: Pour hours into reporting and a digital footprint that disappears. There was the AOL site I created videos for, another where I documented a crazy road trip with celebrities; stories for NPR; interviews for the first MTV.com; a failed reboot of BYTE magazine, and more. All of it has vanished.

Example- 24 years ago I anonymously documented the bursting of the 90s dot-com bubble, which paralleled my own coming of age story of sorts. Then... 9/11, an economic crash, me retreating to Bush Alaska for four years. The series I wrote disappeared along with the rest of the once groundbreaking site that published it.

Journalists like to think of ourselves as writing the first draft of history. In the internet age, this is true, but in a sense we wish it wasn’t. Like many other first drafts, our work ultimately gets thrown away, burned or otherwise deleted. 1/x
