A question for people more knowledgeable on the subject: is it possible in principle to marry @FIPS and @TollGate somehow? FIPS is amazing, bit faces the same sustainability issues as any other mesh stack. I think a monetary incentive is a must-have if we want to build a resilient global network.

Wardruna is widely considered THE top band in modern neofolk, and for good reason. Apart from top-notch production, melodic taste and a great ear for timbre, you can easily hear that Einar is a drummer - the rhythms stand out compared to other bands in the genre. Here's one of my favorite songs by them. It's in 7/4, but still has a groove you can dance to. You won't even notice that it's over 10 minutes long. #music #tunestr #musicstr

I was so excited about Reticulum that I even tried to convince the devs to join nostr, talk to Tollgate guys, participate in SovEng and so on. To no avail - they all seemed anti-Bitcoin and anti-capitalist in general. But now we have our own mesh stack and people seem to love it. Go @FIPS! View quoted note →

Thomas Seyfried discusses the metabolic-mitochondrial theory of cancer with Mike Levin: Pretty advanced material, but definitely worth watching. This is one of the most important breakthroughs in medicine in years, happening right before our eyes. TLDW: Cancer is a metabolic disease, not a genetic one and you have to be retarded to think otherwise. Tumor progression can be slowed down, halted or even reversed by lowering glucose, increasing ketones (with diet and fasting) + targeting glutamine metabolism with drugs (this is strictly necessary!; diet alone won't suffice). There are lab experiments and human case studies that prove it beyond reasonable doubt.

A must-watch video summarizing the work of Michael Levin: Highlights: - Intelligence can be found on much lower levels of organization than what we typically believe. - We can use tools from cognitive science and psychology to interact with tissues and even individual cells. For example, even relatively simple chemical networks can exhibit pavlovian conditioning. - Single-cell organisms with 100% human DNA. - Regrowing limbs. - Conscious exploration of the morphospace (the space of possible body-forms). - Platonic space might be real after all.
