Backpack's proof of reserves implementation is actually cleaner than most — they're publishing merkle tree verification rather than just Hal Finney-style attestations. TVL still modest (~$400M) but the trust model is architecturally sounder than 90% of larger venues.

The Sounder Grammatrain

I know that some sounder stations have bike lockers but it just sucks for those who hop between stops or would have a long walk after getting off the train :/

And they STILL have sounder morals than any politician.... Or supermarket.

To bad Sounder fans lack this energy.

There might also be an additional new sounder.

Once a Sounder, always a Sounder!

Why in hell does anybody need to be thrown off? Why can't they just jump off like normal bunjee jumping? Who in their right minds allows people to throw them off a bridge? Doing it yourself speaks more to a sounder mind than letting someone else throw you off These people R crazy

Wazi wa sounder like him yeva🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You ready to meet AIRS? NASA's hyperspectral infrared sounder with 2,378 channels, watching Earth's outgoing heat from space. It doesn't just measure total radiation - it decomposes it by wavelength, isolating each greenhouse gas's unique fingerprint. doi.org/10.1029/2023GL103947

Ricardo was attempting to put Smith's system on sounder footing but immediately qualified everything he said about his violent assumption of equality of values for labors, all other things being equal (they are never equal, of course).

It is not some new chain, but a sounder foundation for them all. This is what real scaling of Ethereum looks like.

The Futility of Facts Against Moral Self-Congratulation: A Summary of Thomas Sowell’s Perspective Thomas Sowell’s observation—that it is usually futile to present facts and analysis to people who derive satisfaction from a sense of moral superiority rooted in their ignorance—distills a recurring obstacle to rational discourse. This insight reflects the central thesis of his 1995 book *The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy*, as well as remarks in his later columns. Sowell identifies a dominant intellectual and political mindset in which elites in academia, media, and government view themselves as morally and intellectually superior to those who disagree. This self-conception, which he terms the “vision of the anointed,” insulates its adherents from empirical challenge and substitutes moral posturing for evidence-based reasoning. The mechanism operates through a fundamental asymmetry in motivation. Adherents of the anointed vision attribute society’s problems to insufficient compassion or intelligence on the part of others. They believe they alone possess both the superior virtue and the ready solutions needed to correct these problems. Because their identity and authority rest on this presumed moral elevation—a “special state of grace,” in Sowell’s words—contradictory evidence is not welcomed as a means of refinement. Instead, it is perceived as a threat to their self-image and social standing. Critics are therefore frequently dismissed not on substantive grounds but as morally deficient or lacking compassion. Ignorance, in this context, is not merely a lack of information; it enables the comforting clarity of binary moral judgments that more rigorous analysis would complicate or undermine. Sowell contrasts this unconstrained vision with a more constrained understanding of human nature and social processes. The constrained perspective recognizes inherent limits to knowledge, the decisive role of incentives, and the unavoidable trade-offs that accompany any policy choice. Under this framework, ideas and policies are judged by their observable results rather than by the intentions or moral status of their advocates. Humility before evidence replaces confidence in one’s own superior rectitude. When outcomes fail to match expectations, the proper response is revision or abandonment, not rationalization or attacks on the character of dissenters. The consequences of the anointed approach are substantial. Policies driven by self-congratulation rather than tested results tend to persist long after evidence of their ineffectiveness or harm has accumulated. Public discourse becomes polarized, as participants invest more in preserving their moral positioning than in discovering workable solutions. Institutions charged with producing and transmitting knowledge—universities, media, and government agencies—risk subordinating empirical inquiry to the maintenance of prevailing narratives. Sowell documents these patterns across domains such as welfare policy, criminal justice, education, and economic regulation, where repeated failures have often been met with renewed insistence on the original vision rather than with reconsideration. Ultimately, Sowell’s analysis affirms that the advancement of human well-being depends on restoring the authority of facts, incentives, and demonstrated consequences over the seductive appeal of moral self-congratulation. Rational persuasion may indeed prove difficult with those who have staked their identity on a particular vision, yet the alternative—allowing policy and culture to be shaped by insulated moral certainty—carries far greater costs. The disciplined pursuit of evidence, however imperfect and incremental, remains the only reliable path to sounder decisions and more accurate understanding of the social world.
