I am noticing that the most successful new ideologies of the past decade are very object-level (prescriptions on specific issues) and quite little meta-level (social processes for making decisions on object-level issues). Examples:

* Abstract libertarianism feels much weaker than 10 years ago. But issue-specific versions of it are quite successful: YIMBY (housing), the crypto space
* e/acc (it's about all technology in theory, but ends up being about AI in practice)
* The largest cluster in effective altruism morphed from being meta-level ("think harder to making sure your donations are going where they can do the most good!") to object level (AI safety, with a little bit of animal welfare and global public health)
* Longevity movement

Maybe network states and Glen and Audrey's Plurality movement are two exceptions - but in general the above feels like a strong pattern. Any ideas why this meta level -> object level shift seems to be taking place?

we were hiking when we came across the most bountiful plum tree, with hundreds of the juiciest, sweetest, freshly fallen plums all around it, so we carried what we could in our hats and pockets and hands, and then feasted, made juice, torte, and basked in the glory of being alive

the uptime calculator for Solana is awfully convenient—100% uptime, woohoo! Except it only takes the last three months into its calculation. And there's no way to calculate the uptime from before that. All you get is a calendar view of past incidents, so...

Since may 4 2021, according to this tweet (https://x.com/BSCNews/status/1755227503252111530) Solana has been down for 64.5 hours out of 27744 hours (1156 days). That's an uptime of 99.75%, which according to chat GPT is not even acceptable for consumer apps.

And we are supposed to trust it with the world's financial infrastructure?
