1000 people, 100 speakers, 1 stunning location 🌍 "We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now", - Martin Luther King, Jr. Freedom loves solidarity. Neo-Cypherpunk Way: s26ber.web3privacy.info

Books I regularly recommend to parents: 📕Absorbent Mind (Montessori) - she has the deepest reverse for the human condition focused on children. 📗 Positive Discipline series - great for instilling emotional intelligence and agency in young children. 📘 How to Talk so Children Listen and Listen so Children Talk (Faber) - fabulous practical communication tips. 📙 How Children Learn (Holt) - love his observations about helping young children to teach themselves. 📚 Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons (Engelmann) - the bible of teaching reading. 📖 Magical Child (Pearce) - raising genius kids through play. He gets woo-woo at the end (but given that people love the telepathy tapes, maybe he's onto something).

everything will become beautiful if you work to make it beautiful

the biggest benchmark is the survival of humanity i guess.

working with people who have high expectations of you is such a gift, because we are shaped by what others believe is possible for us. sometimes the most powerful thing someone can do is hold a higher image of you until you grow into it i.e., pygmalion effect

Berlin Blockchain Week isn't short of panels, talks, and after parties. We’re putting something different on the agenda: Three days of building, and a community cleanup in a city park. ✵ On Monday, we're running a hands-on build session in a Berlin park. Bring your laptop, get a node running, and leave with the tools actually working. Not another talk, but an afternoon of building together. Register: luma.com/sau167c5 ✵ On Tuesday, we're at @dappcon with a working room. No panels. No presentations. Sit and build on the Logos stack alongside the people who made it. You need a DappCon ticket to get in, but register through us and we'll sort you a free pass or a 50% discount (first come, first served). Register: luma.com/29nze70f ✵ On Thursday, we leave the conference behind for a Logos Circle, Action Not Permission. We clean up a Berlin park together, share food, and talk honestly about building community where you live. Register: luma.com/logos-c1yv Code was never the end goal. It's how we change real lives and build better systems, owned and run by the people who use them. A parallel society you can live in, not just post about. Build the parallel.

Cortex and Ark Hive: same track, different angles on agent memory. One makes memory expire on purpose. One makes memory portable and auditable. Listen to the winners @siewwwin @fabianferno @Philotheephilix talk through the builds New time: Thursday 🇪🇺 12pm 🇲🇾 6pm 🔗 below 👇

The myth of the tortured artist needs to die. Writers are lying to themselves when they say their pain is necessary for inspiration, that peace and contentedness create fallow and dull periods of work. It's the whole "You can only write when you're single... log off Twitter once you become a wife," thing. They believe that happiness is dullness. But that's only because they've trained themselves to use pain as inspirational fuel, and think they need it because the sharpness of it feels important. It's a convenient excuse to self sabotage. It's a way to sustain the loop of self aggrandizing suffering, and never truly change. If a writer never breaks this cycle, they might never realize that the problem with pain as fuel is that it's limiting. Pain is navel gazing. It tells you that it's the only important thing in the world, and ignores the entire broadband of human experience and emotion. It forces a person to look inward and ignore the rest of the world, and as a result everything they write to justify pain will always make them a little less of a writer than you could be. It's possible to write about pain and suffering without being stuck in it. Once you're not flailing in pain, you can actually see it with much more complexity and depth. Once you expand your happiness and curiosity and warmth and love, your knowledge of other emotions will expand too.

220 builders, researchers, and thinkers. One question crypto seems to be avoiding. What survives quantum? June 2026. The first QDay happened at @ns. The conversation that can’t wait, started.

weekend project: cypherpunkbooks.com one shelf for books, manifestos, essays, etc... built it for myself to keep everything I want to read and everything i love in one place.

today i spent 2.5 hours talking to someone in a park. it felt like 15 min. conversation is the highest order bit of human connection. shared interests, proximity, activities, & history helps but most of the things we associate with connection are downstream of two people being genuinely interested in what’s happening inside each other’s heads.

The longevity argument for slowing down & staying put for once

The AI agent🤖problem: agents remember everything or nothing. [ ARKIV ] x @ns Winner 'Cortex' 🏆 @siewwwin solves this - an AI agent memory that forgets on purpose. Context bloats. Cortex gives memory a TTL instead. youtu.be/pU7EuLfzyJM 🧵 1/

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see.

It's a full house at @virtuals_io's EconomyOS sharing at @ns and the launch of the Virtuals Robotics Accelerator! If you build with Virtuals, @base will support you!
