TFTC on Nostr: Someone just open-sourced a fully functional guided missile system on GitHub. 3D ...
Someone just open-sourced a fully functional guided missile system on GitHub. 3D printed frame. $5 flight computer from Amazon. Piano wire steering fins. You arm it from a laptop over Wi-Fi. Total cost: $96.
The project is called "Canard." The entire design is in Fusion 360, simulated in OpenRocket, documentation freely available. Precision weapons just moved from defense labs to consumer garages.
Now pair that with deepfakes so good we can't verify whether a sitting head of state is alive. The cost of manufacturing trust, force, and information is collapsing to zero.
Individuals now have capabilities only governments had a decade ago.
The monopoly on force is eroding.
This is "The Sovereign Individual" playing out in real time.
When trust in institutions, media, and even video evidence collapses, you need money that doesn't require trust. Money no government can print, no algorithm can fake, and no institution can freeze.
Everything else is built on sand.
