iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This is how I see reality. I will not wear rose-colored glasses under the banner of “pacifism” or “peace through protests.” Slogans won’t help here—action is what is needed.

Gaza: I also wish for an end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip. Terrorist groups must be disarmed, but Israel must also be held accountable for war crimes and the killing of civilians (not just for what happened in Gaza).

Iran: I want this conflict to end definitively through Congressional pressure to cease these meaningless airstrikes and diplomatic maneuvering. The global economy is not that resilient; everyone suffers because of the actions of one thug in the White House.

This must involve the establishment of functioning democratic, constitutional, and legal institutions with the goal of forming the Rule of Law, not the Rule By Law.

Ukraine: I wish for Ukraine’s victory and the possibility of a regime change in Russia to a constitutional, representative, and democratic republic.

I write this with reference to three specific conflicts: the Ukraine conflict, the Iran conflict, and the conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Peace can only be achieved through force: either by unilaterally halting hostilities (without any two-sided diplomacy) or by surrendering entirely. There is no other way.

designed to keep the population subdued and clinging to blind hopes. Peace will not come. Striving for it through negotiation processes or any form of diplomacy is the stupidest, most foolish approach imaginable.

When media outlets, politicians, presidential administrations, and their representatives repeat the same phrases every few days, every week, every month, and every year—“we strive to end the conflict” or “we strive for peace”—it is brazen lying...

Those are the real traitors. Not Edward Snowden. Not other whistleblowers.

And traitors are those same “former” intelligence officials who then go build political careers. Who knows what people like that will do once they’re in power, and how far they’ll push surveillance and spying on ordinary Americans.

Traitors are the “former” FBI, CIA, and NSA people who walk straight into companies like OpenAI — companies that openly vacuum up and leak users’ data and private messages without a second thought.

Some people love calling Edward Snowden a traitor. That’s their right — free opinion and all. But they either don’t get it, or they deliberately refuse to get it: traitors are the ones who actually commit crimes against the American people, not the ones who expose those crimes.

Stop saying stupid stuff like: "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." Start saying: "A free country doesn't track innocent citizens."

So, in this sense, centralization still exists. It’s just been moved up a layer—from the protocol itself to the social and economic layer surrounding it.

As a result, many third-party providers simply stagnate because they don’t have enough users to attract more users. This creates a network effect: the default provider accumulates users precisely because it is the default, which makes it even more attractive to new users.

100 1

But even then, it is still heavily influenced by human behavior. People are generally inclined to choose the provider that is presented to them by default when they sign up.

100 1

That’s why a classical federation model can only be considered a meaningful improvement in the sense that there is no single central provider and the underlying protocol is open.

Federation does not guarantee freedom of speech. It does not guarantee censorship resistance. What it really provides is the ability to choose your dictator and a mechanism for communication between those dictators.

100 1

In a proprietary environment, you have a single dictator. In a federated environment, you have (N) different dictators—each with their own rules, moderation policies, censorship practices, and interests.

I’ve noticed something interesting: a lot of people seem to treat federation as one of the “good” end states for a protocol, even though that’s far from the case.

The two-party (uni-party) system in the United States is highly problematic and needs to be dismantled and replaced — if not with a full multi-party system, then at least with a 4-to-6 party system. Rankings can shift over time, and parties can drop out and be replaced by others.

No one should have enough power to arbitrarily control the lives of others.

rather, under a social dividend, you are a co-owner of public capital and receive a share of the income it generates. This approach is far more effective than attempts to implement UBI.

That is precisely why I continue to support UBS (Universal Basic Services), though I would supplement it with a "Social Dividend"—because a social dividend is not a form of welfare where the state simply helps you out;

Moreover, one simple fact must be understood: money cannot effectively replace certain services. than attempts to implement UBI.

100 1

I am not particularly keen on the idea of UBI as such; existing studies and experiments already point to problems regarding implementation burdens, scalability, costs, and so on.

That is the reality we need to consider.

The utopian idea that AI and robotics can replace human labour through an age of abundance could, in many cases, lead to a decline in the population’s cognitive development, simply because people would no longer need to fulfil key productive and executive roles themselves.

100 1

The same applies to humanoid robots and autonomous robotics: they can be used to rotate or supplement human workers, provide assistance and improve productivity, or perform tasks in sectors that are particularly dangerous for humans. But they should never be used to replace people entirely.

First and foremost, AI is a powerful, scalable, and versatile tool. It should primarily serve as an assistive and execution-oriented technology rather than completely replacing human workers.

100 1

Humanoid robots could have a similar impact across manufacturing, industry, and other workplaces. For this reason, both sectors should be regulated to some extent, while workers’ rights must also be protected.

AI, especially as it moves actively toward AGI and potentially ASI, could lead to significant levels of mass unemployment.

The Russian authoritarian regime of the bloody dictator Putin should know one thing: any encroachment on any NATO country will cost them dearly—or, more precisely, internal collapse and regime change. And the people of Ukraine will continue to fight for their independence and democracy.

Just as it is clear that economic shocks cannot be followed by an abrupt boom or a cascade of new company formations and a revival of small and medium-sized businesses. These are the realities we must accept rather than ignore, and we must stop idealizing the purity of specific theoretical models.

It is possible for all weak players to be wiped out alongside many strong ones, leaving only a handful of survivors who emerge from the crisis weakened and exhausted. This raises an immediate question: can these remaining, now-weakened players stabilize the market? The answer is obvious.

100 1

The Austrian School of Economics posits that "crises are a necessary cleansing." While this holds some truth, its validity is questionable when a crisis decimates even the strongest market players. The mechanism that sorts the strong from the weak is not absolute.

We must recognize that temporary intervention is sometimes not only beneficial but essential for stabilization and rescue. This is simply a matter of pragmatism, free from unnecessary idealism.

The market can undoubtedly resolve many issues on its own—the key word being many, not all. The core problem is that while the market can function, it cannot save itself from collapse or stabilize during crises.

Free speech shouldn’t be absolute only when it comes to direct calls for violence or similar red lines. There are two main approaches: absolute and limited. Both have downsides, but the absolute version has better ways to address its problems.

To avoid total hate and a culture of impunity, people should be taught basic manners and social norms. It won’t fully eliminate aggression, but it builds a healthier culture of decent behavior — way better than living under self-censorship

What’s offensive to one person is often just another person expressing their thoughts. In the US, both left and right insult each other freely — then cry about being offended. That’s the price of real free speech.
