No. And I'm also not a capitalist. Both are 20th century ideologies.

(And they are words that have been stretched and abused to the point of meaninglessness: remember, in the 1990s, Microsoft called Linux "communist": https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/ )

I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress.

These are timeless principles. The question is how to use the tools we have available to achieve these values in the context of the 21st century. I've written at length about the kinds of mechanisms I personally support, but I definitely do not think that I am the only source of good ideas, I think figuring out the best approach is a shared project of both thinking and also increasingly real world experimentation.

I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress.

I regret to inform you that integrity, actually does matter, if you want to build something lasting

More of us should take, and honor an oath

More of us should have the courage to publicly articulate our beliefs

More of us should try, sincerely and to our fullest extent

More of us should be in awe, and humbled by what we can, and cannot, do

Going from 0-1 is hard
Staying >1 is harder

"Code is law" is not a dead meme from several cycles ago — it's actually crypto's greatest strength. In fact, code is *better* than law.
