This “law of accelerating returns” applies to all of technology, indeed to any true evolutionary process, and can be measured with remarkable precision in information based technologies. Also, keep in mind that every point on the exponential growth curves underlying these panoply of technologies (see the graphs below) represents an intense human... See more

How does Christianity, at once the most "sacrificial" of religions and a faith with a non-violent ideology, fit into this scheme? Girard grants Freud's point, in Totem and Taboo, that Christianity is similar to primitive religion, but only to refute Freud―if Christ is sacrificed, Girard argues, it is not becuase God willed it, but because human...

As human beings, we can perceive less than ten trillionth of light waves. "Our experience of reality," says neuroscientist David Eagleman, "is limited by our biology." He wants to change that. His research on brain processes has led him to create new interfaces, such as a sensory vest, to process unpublished information about the world around us.

His main point is that there is lots of logical inconsistencies within the crypto space, simply, that pitches and business modes such as "Play to Earn", do not make any sense.

2) Creating new regulatory institutions that might be more efficient at serving the same priorities as the status quo.
