Hi! Sorry about the delay, I'm not here very often. It's not exactly what you are describing, but Buenos Aires is pioneering a blockchain-based identity system based off of an ethereum rollup cointelegraph.com/news/buenos-... . Have you discovered any examples since you asked the question?

When pressed by @glenweyl.bsky.social on how free and fair elections would function under his “accountable monarchy” (where dissent is eliminated), Curtis Yarvin admits that his view of "free and fair" is similar to Putin’s elections.

I often think about this. "If you see tech bros doing stuff that is making most people's lives worse in the name of some distant goal, be skeptical. If you see political revolutionaries breaking eggs to make an omelet, be very skeptical of whether it will be poisonous." x.com/glenweyl/sta...

And in another interview, when a photographer mentions that his editor requested a sad picture of Eunice and her children, she insists, “We will smile.” This is Brazil. 🇧🇷💛💚

Here’s the English trailer, which includes some of my favorite scenes. When Rubens Paiva’s death certificate is finally issued, a journalist asks Eunice, “Doesn’t the State have more urgent issues than fixing the past?” to which she placidly replies, “No.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDun...

This film is a gift to humanity. As Brazilians, we are extremely proud of our country, our culture, and our robust institutions—of our ability to reckon with our dark past, learn its lessons, and move forward with dignity, strength, and the joy that defines us.

The acting—especially by Fernanda Torres and her mother, the mythical Fernanda Montenegro—is magnificent. The film received a 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.

Stories like this remained silenced until the establishment of the Truth Commission by President Dilma Rousseff, allowing Brazil to finally confront its own history.

Eunice Paiva, faced with the unimaginable, is transformed by the experience. Recognizing that the state violence her family endured under the dictatorship is the same that indigenous peoples continue to suffer even beyond that era,
