I've been reading up on #Secure #Scuttlebutt and a proposal for a spiritual successor (#PZP) and, without knowing anything about the feasibility of its technology, I must say I'm impressed with the idea of a local & offline first, #P2P social network.
#Scuttlebutt has problems with the long-term size of its logs, problems that #PZP is supposed to solve. But no clients yet :(
I don't like how important #relays are on #Nostr and I think they add a push for centralization. They might be necessary, but having a P2P option (and a way for the network to work without the #internet) sounds amazing.

He mencionado el crédito en mi post original. El crédito no es dinero, es crédito. Existen sociedades que han funcionado con crédito y sin dinero, nominalmente, prácticamente la totalidad de la humanidad en etapas premodernas.
El trueque se ha utilizado históricamente entre grupos. En Escandinavia, Rusia, con grupos nativos y colonos, etc. Tampoco es dinero.
Estoy de acuerdo en que el dinero, llegados a cierto punto, facilita las cosas. De nuevo, eso no significa que no sea un constructo social - lo es. El dinero aparece en sociedades, no te encuentras "dinero" de forma natural. Y existen sociedades sin dinero. Pero vamos, como ya decía con el caso de las familias, el hecho de que algo aparezca en todas las sociedades no lo hace menos constructo social.
Aprovecho para señalar que nada de esto tiene que ver con el debate original que es si el dinero es o no una unidad de medida. ¿Entiendo que concedes el punto ahí?

De primeras, porque eso no es lo que implica que algo sea o no un constructo social. La familia es un constructo social y todas las sociedades tienen alguna forma de familia - sea el clan completo, familias nucleares modernas, familias monoparentales. Dentro de las propias familias, tienen naturalezas distintas - en algunas, lo que tú y yo llamamos primos por parte de padre son hermanos. En otras, tu familia es la familia de tu madre o tu esposa, no la de tu padre. Que sea un constructo social significa que es algo que surge en sociedad y toma formas determinadas en base a la sociedad de la que surge, no que sea una ficción pura y dura.
Y sí que existen y han existido sociedades sin moneda. Sociedades basadas en el trueque y en el crédito - históricamente es como funcionaban, por ejemplo, las sociedades premodernasno. En el medievo, internamente no se hacían intercambios con moneda, sino con crédito - yo te doy el pan hoy y mañana tú me das carne. Los impuestos se pagaban con servicio o en especie. La moneda aparecía en las zonas más internacionales (por ejemplo, Liga Hanseática o zonas mercantiles) o al más alto nivel - nobleza, alto clero, etc.
Y las sociedades primitivas definitivamente no utilizaban moneda. Utilizaban crédito y trueque.

El dinero es un constructo social. Eso es una realidad objetiva e innegable. También lo son los contratos, las familias, las leyes, el crédito, etc.
El dinero tiene características objetivas. Algunas formas de dinero son preferibles en algunos casos, otras formas de dinero son preferibles en otros casos. Las preferencias dependen de la situación y del agente que seas (e.g. sociedad internacional desarrollada vs sociedad rural aislada de subsistencia; Estado vs Empresa vs Individuo)
Nada de esto implica que el dinero sea una medida objetiva de nada.

2024-09-03 11:05:43 UTC

Pero será una representación objetiva del valor que le dan al bien intercambiado esas subjetividades, no del valor del bien intercambiado. No refleja algo real sobre el bien intercambiado.
El precio medio será el resultado de agregar muchos de esos intercambios, y reflejará el valor que le han dado las subjetividades que han intercambiado eso. Podrá ser un valor más o menos útil, pero está sujeto a sesgos de las propias subjetividades (e.g. modas, precio psicológico, etc) y de la propia medición (e.g. que solo mide los valores de las subjetividades que participan en ese mercado concreto, periodo o momento escogido de la medición - last close vs media del día vs media de los últimos 30 días vs media ponderada, etc).
No es un valor objetivo, porque es un resultado social. Es una unidad de cuenta y medio de intercambio, pero no una unidad de medida.

Matizando más lo que he dicho, la física no es subjetiva, es relativa. Una hora es, en todo marco de referencia, lo mismo: 60 minutos, que son 60 segundos, que son:
> Un segundo es la duración de 9 192 631 770 oscilaciones de la radiación emitida en la transición entre los dos niveles hiperfinos del estado fundamental del isótopo 133 del átomo de cesio (133Cs), a una temperatura de 0 K.
En un mismo marco de referencia, una hora será lo mismo - independientemente de la subjetividad (i.e. persona). Es entre dos marcos de referencia donde hay discrepancias. Relatividad, no subjetividad.
El valor siempre es subjetivo porque parte de una subjetividad. El precio es el punto histórico en un momento dado por el cual se ha realizado un intercambio y hablará en todo caso de las percepciones de valor de las personas involucradas, pero no hace referencia a nada objetivo. Es como decir que el color de pelo de dos personas que intercambian cromos referencian algo objetivo sobre el valor de los cromos. Simplemente no es así.

Y aprovecho para matizar que realmente hasta cierto punto las horas también son ficción, porque el paso del tiempo depende de la velocidad relativa de dos objetos. Lo que para una persona en la Tierra es una hora, para una persona orbitando un agujero negro pueden ser segundos.

2024-09-03 10:36:37 UTC

Realmente no. Se usa para intercambiar valor en unas circunstancias determinadas. Pero tú no puedes "medir" el valor. ¿Cuántos euros/dólares/yenes vale una hora con tu pareja o tu hijo? El valor es subjetivo al fin y al cabo. En unas circunstancias cambiarás una hora con tu hijo por dinero y en otras circunstancias no, independientemente de la cantidad de dinero.
Eso es muy distinto a medir una unidad física medianamente objetiva como es una hora.

You're watering down virtue to be just a fancy form of consequentialism, when it isn't. The virtue of an action resides on the motivation and goal of an action, not in its results.
A man who attempts to jump in front of a bullet to save an innocent life but fails is much more virtuous than someone who happens to trip and fall in the path of said bullet, even though the former fails to save a life and the latter succeeds, wouldn't you agree?

If man is more virtuous because of his greater ability to embody virtue, meaning to enact good effect on others than woman because of biological characteristics, a rich man should be considered more virtuous because of his greater ability to embody virtue than a poor man, because of his economic characteristics.
