       The problem with social media isn't censorship or misinfo. These are just symptoms of a disease.Problem is that no one can credibly claim neutrally in the Attention Economy. When Truth is irrelevant, and only thing that matters is REACH, everything else is just means to an end.To combat BOTH misinformation & censorship we need a "decentralized public sphere" where credibility & neutrality are restored.

       Was thinking why so many in media/government are obsequious to SBF, even though the guy has no benefit to them now when he's broke.Then I realized it has nothing to do with SBF personally. I also don't think this has much to do with fear of "clawbacks." I think it's about signalling to the Donor Class that the people/institutions who receive money will align with donors regardless. This is also something that doesn't require explicit coordination - game theory is in play here.

       @vbuterin mostly agree w your post but this sentence bugs me: "enough time has passed that there are few ideas that are completely unexplored."What excites me most is possible novel mechanisms for self-sustaining public goods funding - especially thru value-preserving token inflation. I feel this is virtually unexplored, tho Ethereum & Bitcoin are both successful examples of funding public goods (network security) thru coin inflation. This can be generalized w on-chain meritocratic governance

       @vbuterin I was hoping the decision to censor links to other platforms would be universally condemned by Elon's supporters and detractors alike. Especially bc this decision offends the principle of free speech which his supporters claim to believe in. Unfortunately a big share of supporters were either silent or justified the decision.This reinforced my belief that the strongest animating force in social media is TRIBALISM, and not some divergence in beliefs. Social media drives polarization

       @rodhilton as a skeptic I'd like to see evidence before jumping to conclusions.I also thought Musk was brilliant because of Tesla and SpaceX. Now that I see his ridiculous performance at Twitter I see 2 possibilities:1) he's not really that smart. It was all just great PR.2) he's out of his depths with Twitter, thinking to himself "it doesn't take a rocket scientist, ehm, to run a social media platform" - but still brilliant otherwise.How do I know it's (1) and not (2)?

       How do we solve the biggest challenges facing humanity? Main limiting factor is not lack of resources to solve these problems, but the lack of an effective Universal Coordination Mechanism to align people’s incentives at the largest scale toward solutions https://mirror.xyz/0xabundance.eth/JMCscwwHhXDiKdeCoCSV6bmRS41UG_Cps6-iYeH9sYE

       @Are0h we're not obsessed with it. But that's been the profitable model for awhile so naturally people want to recreate successful models (or too lazy to innovate). Most important paradigm shift imo will be creating an alternative to the attention economy's incentive structure. UI innovation will quickly follow
