    I know very very little about India, but it seems like the country is going the neoliberal route of Amerika, bringing some limited wealth, but a heap ton of poverty and stress/competition for those who do have a job. I admire India for their educational system, how hard working and responsibly their citizens are, and how much their country has grown since independence (a difficult feat).

    I know that not every Indian is a BJP member, but that’s gotta be embarrassing frustrating as MAGA is in the US. I’ve seen some center-right Indian friends go hard right these last few years. This seems to be everywhere now, though, not just India.

    Don’t at me, this is from a place of profound ignorance.

    Edit: changed a word so I don’t come off like a racist prick



  • Defending a capitalist projects without evidence or justification is pretty much capitalist apologia.

    If you believe a coin on the scale of Ethereum can lie about whether it’s proof of stake or work, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

    I didn’t say that they lied about pos. I said it’s probably pos but we needn’t take them on they word about everything, and you’re continuing to insist I said that. And being “you have no idea what you’re talking about”.



  • There are so many more, especially “boring” ones like official documents, research, and medical records

    I doubt this. With crypto, the ledger needs to be repeated multiple multiple times, it’s incredibly wasteful. There’s no improvement over a central server.

    What do you mean, Ethereum is pos.

    I think it’s super dangerous to take the developers’ word on their product. Probably it’s literally POS, but I’m not gonna believe all the hype without a disinterested confirmation.














  • In his early teens, he spent some time with the Bedouin in the Arabian desert.[8] Following in the footsteps of his father, Philby continued to Westminster School, which he left in 1928 at the age of 16.[7] He won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied history and economics. He graduated in 1933 with a 2:1 degree in Economics.[9]

    I’m bet that he found the Bedouin to be much better people that those he met at posh schools. Also reading the Wikipedia article, it seems close to certain that he intended to be a Soviet spy from early on.
