Best in the universe

The bankruptcy cascade In May 2022, the collapse of a protocol called Luna kickstarted a cascade of liquidations across the whole industry which lasted for 9 months. For the first few weeks it appeared to have been contained but slowly people came forward declaring losses and in some cases bankruptcy. Some of them were very

Singularity

The Singularity I confess that the rise of the AI machines has really piqued my interest. Using them personally I can do all sorts of things that I could not do before, even just entertaining doodles.

They

Review of the year It was bad. They I was forced to consider the question this week when I was asked, “who is the eponymous, ‘they’?”. ‘They’ track your data (and then lose it). ‘They’ want to control us. ‘They’ want people to pay more tax. ‘They’ don’t want people to go on strike. To

The state of things On the bench $17k. Behind it lies the separation of money from the state. When asked, most people are quite comfortable that their elected government is in charge of the money supply. They remark, very reasonably, that “who else is going to do it……you?”. It is the right question because whilst
