As a big fan of your writing, I’d be happy to try and argue for the positive side if you’re serious about trying to find a balanced take

Trotz deprimierender Fakten meint @ChrisStoecker: Wir können die Kurve noch kriegen. Ausgerechnet dank der Exponentialfunktion, die uns bisher drastisch schadet. Seine These: Wir erleben gerade einen gesellschaftlichen Kipppunkt. Wird jetzt alles gut?

Nun ist es wieder passiert. Eine Frau will was. @Ricarda_Lang will Parteivorsitzende der Grünen werden und Twitter explodiert. Frauen dürfen ja schon genug in diesem Land: wählen, sich scheiden lassen, Auto fahren. Was sie nicht dürfen, ist: etwas wollen.

The last 20 months has been such a FUCK YOU to those of us with chronic illnesses:
- openly eugenic sentiments (eg death not a big deal if underlying conditions)
- lack of concern for those having to delay medical care
- refusal to accept death isn't only outcome to avoid 1/

The Web3 Fraud by @ncweaver compares the World Wide Web, a distributed system composed of DNS, web servers, and browsers, against a decentralized system such as Ethereum.
The use case: a web site or api.
My take away is, Web3 isn't about the web at all. usenix.org/publications/logi…

The tragedy around blockchain/web3 is that it's many people's first contact with append-only logs, log replication and digital signatures.
The zero-trust consensus model of blockchains for who gets to add/sign log entries is a distraction/overcomplication for most scenarios.

WTF?
Of all the bizarre holiday traditions, the absolute worst has to be the expectation that workers give their boss a gift (1/3 of U.S. employees do it!) This year, let's end the predatory practice once and for all. inthesetimes.com/article/hol…

Totally fair point. Just pointing out that not everyone interested and active in that space is a Ponzi-scheming, environment-hating, ignorant crypto bro

Can’t see anything libertarian (a political viewpoint that disgusts me) about that. Anything that hurts the big labels and Spotify would have my full support.
OK, let’s assume there existed an NFT-based scheme for, say, music IP rights based on a PoS chain, enabling artists to do away with the old and new music monopolies – wouldn’t that be a good thing? Certainly from a commercial perspective, possibly from an energy view as well.

The problem I have is that downplaying the (however rare) good intentions and actual technical innovation paints everyone who is interested in that space (obviously including myself) as completely stupid, or even evil (if you follow @smdiehl’s take)

E.g. NFTs would make sense if they conveyed actual IP rights, but most often they are not. Bitcoin-style PoW currencies actually are the only mature answer to a certain set of requirements almost no one has. PoW alternatives address the energy problem, but are not yet used often.

Kudos for the very good first part. Sad the 2nd part is 100% negative, which I think hurts the whole thing. I think it would be more convincing pointing out that Web3, the Blockchain, crypto currencies and NFTs were, say, 95% percent bad.
