Geopolitics

This may be the strongest case for authoritarianism:

Basically: the war for people's hearts and minds has no stable equilibrium except local hegemony of one dominant elite, much like (and for the same reasons as) what Hobbes pointed out for regular war.

To be honest I prefer discussing topics touching closer to "politics" here because it's not so large-scale and people are more likely to interpret it as "having a discussion" as opposed to "blasting my opinions" (and I feel like the former is my intent; I'm ok with my words having 100x less reach)

Fair point, Vitalik. Farcaster is better suited for more nuanced discussions(atm). Here also attracts more early adopters with slightly higher barrier of entry...  Maybe the ideal is to use Farcaster for in-depth convo and twitter for the big stuff/announcements that needs wider exposure. (noticed u post more here😂)
