I hope you come back to reality and realize that while the availability of energy has led to increased standards of living, that fossil fuels are the reason why we are getting worsening hurricanes, flooding, destruction of biodiversity, increased water insecurity that could threaten the entire food system, and more.

I read an article today about how booming the US natural gas industry is right now. I'm really curious when we might start openly talking about how we were never ever going to get rid of fossil fuels with the addition of wind and solar without batteries capable of fully replacing natural gas plants.

He raised concerns about the environmental impact of such expansion, noting that data centers currently consume about 4% of the world's energy.
'What drives me crazy is that Oracle has 162 data centers and is considering adding another 1,000 or 2,000. What does that do to the planet? If you think about it, data centers use about 4% of all energy today, and if that doubles to 8%, we need to control the 30% that's wasted.'"

I admit I am a degrowther but I am starting to think that what I consider degrowth is maybe not what many other degrowthers see it to mean. There is a lot of ignorance around energy and technology the is pervasive in aspects of the degrowth/climate movement that is also mixed with doomer vibes.
1) As Baidrillard pointed out, we cannot escape capitalism as thus we cannot escape the technological advances that we have created as a result. But what we can do, imo, is find the communist, find the anarchist, elements that exist simultaneously in contradiction and build on these aspects to find a way out. The whole concept of the falling rate of profit (which Kliman argues is temporal and thus why many misunderstand it including Marxists) is one that can be also interpreted through creative destruction. When taken to its limit, we can see where a post-work, degrowth world could actually arise.
I say this with respect, but it angers me to see rejection rather than embrace of the full spectrum of possibilities as the only way forward for so many of my colleagues in the climate movement.
Lastly, Israel proved you can’t escape through low-fi tech to avoid surveillance and attacks. So QED.

Today I learned about zombie servers in data centers.
"Inactive servers (also referred to as comatose or 'zombie' servers), represent obsolete or unused servers that consume electricity but provide no useful information services. Previous studies have estimated that inactive servers represent 10%–30% of servers in US data centers [28–31]." (Shehabi et al., 2018)
I can't imagine that these exist in a bitcoin mining facility. Zombie bitcoin miners sucking up electricity but not generating bitcoin?? The crazy thing is the 10-30% figure for non-crypto data centers. That's a lot of waste.

I'm autistic, and I've experienced a lot of unnecessary hardship in my life because I didn't know I was on the spectrum, but even after knowing, I wasn't taught what to do to better understand how my brain works so that I could navigate the world. Through autistic-centered therapy, I've learned a lot over the past several years, and I have many thoughts...
I've been thinking a lot about the importance of early intervention in autism. Temple Grandin and others emphasize how important this is. But what does that even mean? I think it does not mean teaching autistics to be like neuroypticals. The problem for me and others on the spectrum is that we've been taught to understand the world as if we had a built-in intuitive system. A heuristics way of managing sensory input, one might say. But the problem is that autistic people don't have such well-developed systems, but we do have strong analytical systems.
My theory is that every disabling aspect of autism is because of information overload and trauma. We get more information in every domain compared to neurotypicals. So we can't make intuitive guesses with limited data, we actually have too much data, so we need to take a more cognitive and analytical approach. Yet, through cognitive approaches, we can actually make better decisions/observations/connections than neurotypicals.
So I think any kind of intervention should reflect this. Whether it is in childhood or adulthood. It should be focused on interpreting, navigating, and managing sensory inputs. For those on the spectrum, this means it will be cognitive processing the vast majority of the time. Teaching autistic people to sense their bodies and learn how to cognitively interpret them will go a long way.
Interventions for helping those who are non-speaking who have trouble controlling their body--to me--should focus on increasing the signal-to-noise ratio in motor systems. But also teaching them how to communicate through letter boards and typing as early as possible is essential to avoid trauma and worsening sensory overload. There's cutting edge research showing a direct connection between emotion and sensory overload in the brain.
Finally, we need acceptance. Autistic people experience so much abuse through their lives, one study reported 9 in 10 autistic women experienced some form of sexual abuse. They concluded the targeted abuse of those on the spectrum had no relation to perceived diagnostic "deficits" but rather, autistic people are singled-out because we are different. Nothing more, nothing less. Teach your kids to accept those who are different. Autistic people have higher rates of suicide. Therapy for those on the spectrum is mostly about undoing all the harm neurotypicals did to us. Most autistic people are traumatized, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Autism is a neurotype and a spectrum. It can be both abling and disabling, depending on how severe the information overload is. But I think if we reframe how we look at it, and we address the foundational challenges, we can make it so that no aspect of autism is disabling.
Don't try to cure us. A different way of interpreting the world can only benefit society, not harm it.

For all those crying, "communism is coercion", "communism is authoritarianism", let me introduce you to Peter Kropotkin. Kropotkin was a zoologist and advocate of decentralized communist societies, a.k.a, anarcho-communism. Here's an LLM-derived short biography.
Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921) was a Russian geographer, zoologist, and one of the most influential anarchist thinkers. He is best known for his advocacy of anarcho-communism, a form of communism that emphasizes the abolition of the state and capitalism in favor of a decentralized, stateless society where resources and goods are communally owned and managed. Kropotkin's vision of society was rooted in mutual aid, voluntary cooperation, and the belief that human beings are naturally inclined towards solidarity and communal living.
Kropotkin argued that centralized state power and capitalism inherently create inequality, oppression, and conflict. Instead, he proposed decentralized communities, where local groups or communes would manage their own affairs, making decisions through direct democracy and consensus. These communities would cooperate with each other in a network, exchanging goods and services based on need rather than profit. By removing the hierarchical structures of state and capital, Kropotkin believed that individuals could freely associate and work together for the common good, fostering a society of equality, freedom, and mutual support.
In summary, Kropotkin's advocacy for decentralized communist societies involves dismantling both the state and capitalist systems, replacing them with self-managed, cooperative communities that operate on principles of mutual aid and shared resources. This vision aims to create a society where individuals have autonomy and equality, and where the social fabric is strengthened through collaboration and collective responsibility.

From my talk that was (unintentionally) censored.
"Bitcoin is in a struggle against system capture, this is especially true at the center of the financial system, Wall Street. So many have cheered the development of Bitcoin ETFs, and the arrival of institutional investors. But I caution against this cheering, because this is only system capture, not revolution. If Wall Street succeeds, Bitcoin will be objectified and commodified in the true sense of the word. It will be packaged and sold back to you in a form that will at the surface feel familiar but will ultimately be a hollow reflection of what it once was.
Yet, because Bitcoin is peer-to-peer, it can at least exist in simultaneous contradiction. Even if Wall St tries to capture Bitcoin, we can still use Bitcoin as it was originally intended. The question is, will the original intent of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system be that which scales with mass adoption, or will it be the reified package that Wall Street sells you? Remember, we can still use torrents to download movies, music, and books for free because it's peer-to-peer, but most people pay for a Netflix subscription these days."

Highly recommend this as a starting point. I will dig through some more references so those interested can read more about the fact that when they're building FOSS and open protocols, they're ultimately acting as everyday anarcho-communists, not anarcho-capitalists. The reality to keep in mind is that we're made up entirely of contradictions, so a clear dichotomy between what is or isn't communist does not really exist. Being comfortable with contradictions is a healthy step forward for moving away from the currently highly polarized environment we find ourselves in.

Also, pretty much any book from David Graeber. Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism is good, too.

This is a good start, "Peer to peer: from technology to politics to a new civilisation": https://www.itu.int/osg/spu/wsis-themes/contributions/others/pEERNewP2P.pdf

Good morning fellow commies who are building on a free and open protocol in a very cooperative kind of commie anarchist manner.

Looking forward to watching the recording of the Nostriga talks. I heard there was some really interesting discussions.

I want to thank Alex Gladstein for reaching out to me. It appears that what happened was the result of a mistake in judgment of one staffer and not what HRF's bitcoin team would have approved of, if they had known. It was really shocking to be told by a conference organizer that my talk was not allowed if it was going to be controversial (because I referred to someone as a communist), so I'm grateful that this was an error of judgment and nothing more.
