Hey everyone! 👋 Excited to start engaging with the farcaster community. What is the topic on here that is most controversial and likely to annoy the most amount of people?

some ideas:
toe spacers
network states
stated vs revealed preferences
what qualifies "interesting content"

what’s the tldr on the network state controversy?

Reporter at Drop Site News, co-host at Breaking Points/Counter Points

Let me start with two analogies and then go into the substance.

(1) First: as the left puts it, Donald Trump is a convicted felon who attempted a coup. Does that mean every real estate deal signed during his first term is invalid?

(2) Second: as the right puts it, Joe Biden is a senile warmonger who misused his autopen. Does that mean every pardon and visa issued during his term is invalid?

Point: you can actually understand the dysfunction of Latin America through the increasingly dysfunctional North America. Yet every business has to play the game on the field, even as crazy instability rocks the center of government.

(3) Next, on Honduras specifically: the new left-wing government that oppposes ZEDE is also reportedly connected to criminals. To wit: "the Castro-Zelaya family appears embedded in some of the same criminal networks as its predecessor"

Point: the anti-ZEDE government is not good. Agree?
