Really manning that steel bro. It must have taken a lot of effort not to put the echo symbols on (((DEI shibboleths))). Out of spite, I'll now proceed to somehow incorporate the idea that white people cause earthquakes into my worldview.

I dunno, how's the "I'm not Donald Trump" platform been working out so far?

Oh, but you see the axis powers only ever wanted to conquer most of Europe, North Africa, a bunch of islands in the Pacific, most of Southeast Asia, Korea and large parts of mainland China, which the allies would have been completely fine with. Nothing suggests they would actually go for full conquest victory. What is a "Lebensraum"? Is it a type of cheese?

Unusually shit take on WW2 but not an unusually shit take from Moldbug. Just the usual level of shit.

What kind of a cost is low enough that eight billion people can pay it for their legitimate communications without burning the planet too much, but also high enough that a spammer with a botnet won't bother to let other people's machines pay the cost?

I don't think that simile quite lands. Hindenburg worked as expected until its sudden catastrophic demise and hydrogen caused both the function and the failure. Zero knowledge proofs neither make cryptocoins work nor are they the reason why they don't work.

A more apt comparison is something like saying levers are the technology behind this perpetual motion machine.

The design incorporates levers that fail to make the device function, but it's not like levers are useless because of that.

You gotta be careful not to joke in a way that's indistinguishable from real shitcoin spam 🙃

I just bought a humanoid robot servant! I also got a machine that lets her do chores in my house.
