I thought the article did a fairly good job pointing out:

- The only applications anyone is implementing on progcoins are exchanges and/or gambling. So far, dApps are a circular argument.

- Smart contracts aren't so smart. They are ticking time bombs waiting to get exploited DAO-style.

That doesn't leave a whole lot of room for utility.

The guy just needed an outlet to talk about his piles. Hemorrhoids can be an embarrassing topic, so he wore a mask.

Nature's beautiful garbage disposal. Botulism. Anthrax. Vultures don't care.

Mine is Universal Paperclips, except it makes engagement statistics instead of paperclips.

You just don't understand the Metav3rse.

It's sort of weird to have watched the target demographic switch from college kids to everyone's older aunts and uncles. We went from "you should know better than to post that picture" to "you should know better than to engage with that order of operations question".

Because we can only wager hazy guesses as to what it means to experience. If a line is to be drawn, than it must be drawn in seemingly inconsistent and arbitrary ways.

There is a mimosa in a garden near me that will close its leaves when you touch it. Is it experiencing the sensation of touch?

(Edit: mimosa pudica, sometimes also called the shameful plant on account of how tenderly it seems to fold itself)

Eric Weinstein says some crazy stuff, but I remember hearing him once say that the best debate strategy for Republicans would be to mention the "noo-kyoo-lar" family, and let them correct you to "nuclear". Then you win because the other side looks like pedants and elitists. This "octopi" is definitely such a word.

Maybe. I'm not sure how you'd measure the benefit otherwise though. If you're going to compare apples to oranges (or deer road collisions to wolf predation of livestock), dollars is one of the ways you can.

Don't be silly. That's clearly my grandmother.
