  • I watched though about half of it, before concluding that this video is only going to be a summary video that won't answer my questions fully.

    Digital ID and Digital signature are absolutely necessary, though depending on how those two are implemented I could still see fraud and vote manipulation being feasible. I was hoping someone with more knowledge about how Estonia is doing its security and verification systems to ensure records aren't being modified maliciously.

  • Monolithic Archive systems like Internet Archive are cool, but we really should be pushing for better localized infrastructure usage for this kind of archiving, IMO.

    That's another potential defederated API to build out. I doubt it will end up developed, since most opensource devs are already busy on other projects.

  • A Useful heuristic for refuting conspiracy is the scope of logistics.

    It's one thing for a single organization to lie about its internal affairs with none of its personnel blowing the whistle, but as a conspiracy grows it takes more organizations and individual personnel keeping mum to keep the secret from being widely known.

    Flat earth would take the US government and all universities working in lock step. The globalist agenda takes pretty much every world government and all academia.

    In contrast, MK Ultra was essentially done with only members of the CIA in the know, and it was still known about by many before it was declassified.

  • Looks like I can avoid plastic by printing some templates and using a band saw. Probably will have to do some redesigning to make it work on my bike since I have shocks up front and a rack in the back.

  • I imagine it's a "negative liberty vs positive liberty" conundrum.

    American libertarianism seems to consistently skew towards negative liberty, which is complete autonomy to anything but without any power or resources. I believe this predilection came from Ayn Rand and Reaganism, and that It now manifests mostly as anarchocapitalist sentiments.

    I'm a bigger fan of positive liberty - possessing the resources and power to do what you desire within a constrained system.

    Unfortunately we live in a society which provides neither. The amazing results of constant compromise.
