I think its weird how normal it is in the space for influencers to post about stuff like race science & IQ. obviously its cringe to see anyone talking about how cool a eugenicist LLM sounds, but more importantly: what are the values of crypto's community? have we built a social fabric that can sustain meaningful, decentralized alternatives to state institutions? we got censorship resistant, global, p2p networks but we fumbled building culture so hard. ours feels like it'll struggle for longevity. instead of imagining new futures, we just hope some politicians offer some benefits in theirs. we're enthusiastic about bringing people onchain, but embedded wallets doesn't motivate users. culture does

my point isn't that crypto culture is at fault here, nothing about anti-establishment or outsider culture needs to lead us to fucking 'race science'nnthis stuff gets inherited from other political movements & online discourses, it infect our communities in part because crypto culture tends to be 'normless', we favor protocol design & trustless systems and don't have any universally accepted values outside of that. 'code is law' is pretty widely accepted, or else we default to 'the actual law is the law'. nnwe need to focus more on creating social values that users identify with or the void will get filled with junk, imo.
