I have often lamented the fact that I don’t have multiple lifetimes to: - pursue all my interests deeply - to fall in love a million times - to learn every language and culture - to get to know every human deeply - to finally read all the books that I have bought that are collecting dust on my shelf

The goal of check cashing networks was to reconcile separate databases (i.e accounting ledgers) Accounting ledgers can be replaced with Blockchains for this scenario

Bridging is the equivalent of settlement networks in TradFi, probably most aligning with check cashing networks

many non fiction books could be blog posts due to page bloat for publishers But also, most large fiction and epics should be experienced, not summarized I think most books will diverge down one of the 2 paths

Imagine you’re Sisyphus but every time you roll the ball up the hill, it grows in complexity and it accumulates mass in the form of technical debt

Searching for articles in the late 1900s with the term "automated programming" is probably a good way to help think about AI tools today

I love Dostoyevsky! There is no reason for 5 Dostoyevsky books to be on this list. Very coded to a specific demographic

I think the hesitance is quite well founded. - We don’t quite know how governance and tokens “work” yet. No one has gotten it right, why bet the house on this? - Plenty of tokens are effectively useless now such as Arbitrum, GMX, DyDx when everyone was so excited for them - Voter atrophy is hard and we haven’t solved it - Regulatory risk is an issue as well
