Seeing Leopold Aschenbrenner's success as a "fund manager", the "superforecasters" seem to be all in publishing reports here and there to hedge their name into the markets, too. That one is in fact a nice niché that has no "on-chain" equivalent, in that, many of these names find "crypto" clumsy.

Monopolies will be meta-aggregated into an absolute monopoly each times it looks to be dissipating. It is not about decentralization, distribution, or abundance. Entropy is the best noise band.

On the other cursed app I said this, so i figure i shall do it here too.. I've been pondering the lack of beauty in crypto for now ages, and it dawned on me that it might be related to our moral bankruptcy. So, like any sensible person, I downloaded some literature to back up this take. If you have any suggestions on what else I should read, or listen to - don't be shy. [Also noticed the second I started researching beauty, you are never far away from talk of religion.. they really knew how important beauty is]

Realizing you can never reach this "your best perfect self" and just saying no to stuff, opting out, is actually liberating. Reading Byung Chul Han sure helped me name the pressure I had put on myself, and get better at rejecting this idea of constantly needing to improve myself as a project. https://youtu.be/8I38JgK93X0?si=ENLTfzgtRwka0Ynx

So what does it have to do with philosophy? Design philosophy matters so much that you don't want to be a French post-structualist. A bit of New German Materialism leveraging some Utilitarianism with a longtermist mindset is all you need at times. People who "apply" minimalism usually never think of the fact that they make people think too much for a simple navigation.

1/2 A couple of weeks ago I "vibe"-coded a couple of stock market dashboards just to learn how to use Claude Code. Apparently, I am so OpSec minded that these dashboards are ultra secure, of which I had no idea. For the last 10 days, I've been vibecoding my personal memex. Merging all scattered blogs, newsletters that I currently run to reach a network effect which include X articles, Substack, Medium, Paragraph, Mirror, Bear Blog, LinkedIn articles, T2 World, Fountain Ink, Cent beta, Gemlog Blue, Midnight Pub. Importing was an issue since neither Substack nor Paragraph have great exports—which led me to master the use of specs, hooks, and the entire Cloudflare stack. I chose the Astro as the framework, and other than I've been designing the entire UI and UX, which is fun and painstaking at times. I only use the Claude Code with multiple sub-agents and MCPs via VSCode. It's been 10 days as I've already stressed. It will probably take another 2 weeks to build frontend for my art pieces that...
