2025-05-13 20:43:16El Salvador’s bold embrace of Bitcoin has positioned it as a global leader in cryptocurrency adoption, despite a turbulent journey marked by regulatory hurdles, public skepticism, and geopolitical pressures. As the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, its experiment offers a blueprint for integrating digital assets into national economies while highlighting the complexities of such a transformation. Here’s an in depth look at El Salvador’s achievements, challenges, and evolving role in the crypto landscape.
- Groundbreaking Legal Tender Adoption and Strategic Reserves. In 2021, El Salvador made history by passing the Bitcoin Law, mandating all businesses to accept the cryptocurrency as legal tender. This move aimed to boost financial inclusion, streamline remittances (which account for 23% of GDP), and attract foreign investment. Despite initial setbacks, including public resistance and technical glitches with the state-backed Chivo wallet, the government persisted. By March 2025, El Salvador’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Fund held 6,173 BTC (valued at $637 million), acquired through strategic purchases even after revoking Bitcoin’s legal tender status to comply with IMF conditions. This reserve underscores the nation’s long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury asset, with President Nayib Bukele declaring, “It won’t stop now, and it won’t stop in the future”.
- Infrastructure and Economic Modernization. El Salvador’s vision extends beyond cryptocurrency adoption. The government has launched transformative projects to position the country as a regional tech hub:
- El Salvador Vuela: A $500 million initiative to modernize aviation infrastructure, enhancing regional connectivity.
- Cable Submarino: A submarine fiber-optic cable network to bolster digital infrastructure and attract tech investments.
- Bitcoin City: A proposed tax free zone powered by geothermal energy from the Conchagua volcano, designed for Bitcoin mining and crypto innovation.
These efforts are supported by partnerships with institutions like the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF), reflecting a multi-pronged strategy to leverage blockchain for economic growth.
- Navigating International Pressures. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) played a pivotal role in reshaping El Salvador’s Bitcoin policies. In exchange for a $1.4 billion loan in 2024, the government agreed to:
- Revoke Bitcoin’s legal tender status, limiting its use to voluntary transactions.
- Halt public sector Bitcoin accumulation (though purchases continue via non-governmental entities).
- Privatize the Chivo wallet, which saw limited adoption due to technical issues and public distrust.
Despite these concessions, El Salvador has maintained its Bitcoin reserves through creative compliance, such as reclassifying purchases under non public sector frameworks.
- Lessons and Regulatory Innovation. El Salvador’s experiment underscores critical lessons for nations exploring crypto adoption:
- Public Trust is Paramount: Mandating Bitcoin use top-down failed; only 20% of businesses accepted it by 2022, and 80% of citizens preferred the U.S. dollar.
- Regulatory Sandboxes Matter: The country pioneered regulatory flexibility, including temporary suspensions of rules to test crypto frameworks and a Law to Facilitate Financial Inclusion.
-
Balancing Innovation and Stability: While Bitcoin’s volatility and energy demands drew criticism, initiatives like geothermal mining and IMF aligned reforms aim to mitigate risks.
-
Global Leadership and Future Prospects. El Salvador remains a crypto trailblazer, hosting flagship events like the, adopting Bitcoin 2025 conference and the PLANB Forum, which attract global innovators. Its Bitcoin Office, led by Stacy Herbert, continues to drive policy and transparency, with blockchain data publicly tracking reserve purchases.
Looking ahead, the country faces dual challenges: closing the digital divide (ranked lowest in Latin America for broadband access) and proving Bitcoin’s utility in reducing inequality. Yet, its resilience and strategic vision suggest that the “Bitcoin experiment” is far from over it’s evolving.
In conclusion, El Salvador’s journey with Bitcoin is a testament to the audacity of innovation. While critics decry its setbacks, the nation’s achievements strategic reserves, infrastructure modernization, and regulatory creativity pave the way for a future where cryptocurrency and traditional finance coexist. As Bukele’s government balances IMF mandates with crypto advocacy, the world watches closely, recognizing that El Salvador’s story is not just about Bitcoin, but about reimagining economic sovereignty in the digital age.

Video Summary
ADHD is not genetic! In this video, we’ll examine the profound connection between ADHD and diet. Discover the foods that worsen ADHD symptoms, the relationship between ADHD and sugar intake, and the best ADHD diet to address the nutritional deficiencies that may be causing some of the symptoms in the first place.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is typically diagnosed by identifying the following ADHD symptoms: •Makes mistakes easily •Lack of attention to detail •Does not listen when spoken to directly •Doesn’t complete tasks •Cannot play quietly •Problems organizing •Loses things •Frequent fidgeting •Too much energy •Talks too much
Many ADHD symptoms are normal childhood behaviors, and a poor diet can exaggerate all of them.
ADHD is often treated with Adderall and Ritalin, which make lots of money for Big Pharma. The definition of ADHD has been dramatically expanded to make it more diagnosable, putting more people on medication.
A double-blinded study showed that after 36 months, any benefits from Adderall faded to zero. It also has side effects such as aggressive behavior or a dulled mood.
ADHD involves a metabolic problem with the prefrontal cortex of the brain. These metabolic changes affect the way the brain metabolizes fuel. If the brain is starved of fuel, you may exhibit symptoms like a lack of attention and hyperactivity. Chemicals like food dyes, artificial sweeteners, sugar, starch, and MSG tremendously impact behavior.
Increasing dopamine can improve focus and feelings of calmness. Foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and cheese are high in the amino acid L-tyrosine, the precursor to dopamine.
Research has shown that micronutrients, especially B6, magnesium, and zinc, can significantly decrease ADHD symptoms. Omega-3 fatty acids and fish oils can also improve symptoms without side effects.
Vitamin B1 is one of the most overlooked nutrients, especially in psychiatric conditions. When a child consumes a lot of glucose, vitamin B1 is depleted, inhibiting the brain’s ability to utilize fuel.
If an adult or child is experiencing ADHD symptoms, they should switch to a low-carb diet so their body can run on ketones. Ketones will fuel the neurons and restore a sense of calmness and increased attention span.

2025-05-13 18:58:24El mundo está al borde del abismo. La Guerra Fría amenaza con volverse nuclear, las superpotencias se miran con desconfianza, y la humanidad parece tener un pie en la tumba. Entra Adrian Veidt, alias Ozymandias, el hombre más listo del planeta, con un plan tan genial como perturbador: matar a millones para salvar a miles de millones. ¿Un villano sacado de un cómic? No exactamente. En Watchmen de Alan Moore y Dave Gibbons, Ozymandias es un utilitarista radical que cree que el fin justifica los medios. Pero, ¿y si su plan suena sospechosamente parecido a las ideas de Lenin, quien justificó la muerte de millones por un supuesto "bien mayor"? Prepárate para un viaje que conecta el calamar gigante de Watchmen con las ríadas de prisioneros hacia los gulags, con un toque de historia y filosofía para mantenerte pegado a la pantalla.
Ozymandias: El arquitecto del apocalipsis controlado Adrian Veidt, alias Ozymandias, no es un héroe común. Es un multimillonario, un estratega brillante y un admirador de Alejandro Magno que lleva el utilitarismo a extremos aterradores. Su plan en Watchmen es una obra maestra de manipulación: crea una criatura interdimensional falsa que mata a millones en Nueva York, haciendo que las naciones, presas del pánico ante una amenaza "alienígena", dejen sus rencillas y se unan. ¿El resultado? La Guerra Fría se desvanece, los misiles se guardan, y el mundo respira… por ahora.
Ozymandias no es un psicópata que disfruta el caos. Está atormentado, pero convencido de que sacrificar a millones es la única forma de evitar la extinción. Su lógica es fría, calculadora y, curiosamente, tiene un eco inquietante en los escritos de Lenin y el marxismo-leninismo, donde la violencia y la muerte se justificaban como un precio "razonable" por la revolución.
Lenin: La revolución vale unos cuantos millones Vladímir Lenin, el cerebro detrás de la Revolución Bolchevique, no era de los que se andaban con rodeos. En sus escritos, como El Estado y la Revolución (1917) y ¿Qué hacer? (1902), defendía que la revolución socialista requería una ruptura violenta con el viejo orden. Para Lenin, la burguesía, los kulaks (campesinos propietarios) y los "contrarrevolucionarios" eran obstáculos que debían ser eliminados, incluso si eso significaba sangre. En una carta de 1918, Lenin instó a "aplastar sin piedad" a los enemigos de la revolución, y en otro escrito de ese año, justificó el "terror rojo" diciendo que "unas decenas o cientos de miles de víctimas" eran un costo insignificante comparado con el triunfo del socialismo. Para él, estas muertes eran un mal necesario para construir un mundo sin clases.
Pero no todo quedó en teoría. Durante la Guerra Civil Rusa (1917-1922), la Cheka, la policía secreta de Lenin, ejecutó a decenas de miles y envió a otros tantos a campos de trabajo que, como señala Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn en Archipiélago Gulag, fueron el germen de las "ríadas" de prisioneros que caracterizarían el sistema de gulags. Antes de que Stalin elevara el horror a niveles industriales, Lenin ya había sentado las bases de un sistema donde el sacrificio humano era moneda corriente. Solzhenitsyn describe cómo, desde 1918, los campos se llenaban de "enemigos del pueblo" —desde nobles hasta campesinos que se resistían a la colectivización—, todo en nombre de un futuro utópico que nunca llegó.
Marxismo-Leninismo: Una utopía empapada en sangre El marxismo-leninismo prometía un paraíso sin clases, pero el camino hacia él estaba pavimentado con cadáveres. Bajo Lenin, y más tarde Stalin, millones murieron en purgas, hambrunas como el Holodomor en Ucrania (1932-1933), y en los gulags. La lógica era utilitarista, como la de Ozymandias: sacrificar a una generación por un "bien mayor". Pero, a diferencia del plan de Veidt, el proyecto marxista-leninista nunca llegó a puerto. La Unión Soviética se industrializó, sí, pero a un costo humano atroz, y el sueño socialista se desmoronó en 1991, dejando un legado de desigualdad, burocracia corrupta y memoriales a las víctimas.
¿Por qué Ozymandias “gana” y Lenin fracasa? Aquí está la gran diferencia. En Watchmen, el plan de Ozymandias funciona, al menos por un tiempo. Las naciones se unen, la guerra nuclear se evita, y la paz parece posible. ¿Por qué? Porque Ozymandias es un genio que controla cada detalle: la ciencia, la narrativa, el momento exacto del "ataque". Su plan es una coreografía perfecta, sin espacio para el caos humano. En cambio, Lenin y sus sucesores lidiaron con economías complejas, sociedades rebeldes y errores garrafales. La colectivización forzada provocó hambrunas, las purgas alienaron a aliados, y la burocracia soviética se volvió un monstruo inmanejable. El marxismo-leninismo nunca pudo ser tan "limpio" como el calamar de Ozymandias.
Pero hay un detalle crucial: el plan de Ozymandias depende del secreto. Si el mundo descubriera que el ataque fue un montaje, la paz se derrumbaría. Y aquí entra Rorschach, el vigilante que no transige con la moral. Su diario, que revela la verdad, queda en manos de un periódico al final del cómic. Si se publica, adiós al sueño de Veidt. En la vida real, el marxismo-leninismo no tuvo un "diario de Rorschach" que expusiera un engaño específico, pero sus fracasos —hambrunas, gulags, estancamiento— fueron prueba suficiente de que la utopía era una quimera.
El dilema: ¿Justifica el fin los medios? Tanto Ozymandias como Lenin nos enfrentan a una pregunta espinosa: ¿está bien matar a millones por un supuesto bien mayor? En Watchmen, Moore no da respuestas fáciles. Ozymandias es un héroe y un monstruo al mismo tiempo, y su éxito pende de un hilo. En la vida real, las justificaciones de Lenin y sus seguidores se desmoronan ante el peso de las tragedias. Los gulags, las hambrunas y las purgas no llevaron al paraíso prometido, sino a un callejón sin salida.
Lo que hace a Watchmen tan brillante es su capacidad para hacernos pensar sin predicarnos. Ozymandias cree que está salvando al mundo, pero su paz es tan frágil como un castillo de naipes. Lenin, por su parte, soñó con una revolución que cambiaría la historia, pero dejó un legado de sufrimiento que Solzhenitsyn no nos deja olvidar.
Conclusión: Un cómic que refleja nuestras paradojas Watchmen no es solo un cómic; es un espejo de nuestras ambiciones y fracasos. Ozymandias, con su plan para la paz, nos recuerda a Lenin y su fe ciega en un futuro mejor, aun a costa de millones de vidas. En el cómic, la utopía de Veidt funciona… hasta que Rorschach amenaza con exponerla. En la vida real, el marxismo-leninismo nunca llegó tan lejos, y las "ríadas" hacia los gulags son un recordatorio de lo que pasa cuando los sueños utópicos se encuentran con la realidad.
¿Qué piensas? ¿Es Ozymandias un visionario o un tirano? ¿Y qué tan lejos estamos de justificar horrores por un “bien mayor”? ¿Crees que un plan así funcionaría pero solamente si lo ejecuta la persona “correcta”?

2025-05-13 18:33:26A história que se desenrola nas pirâmides, catedrais e torres 5G é, em última instância, a herança de uma antiga promessa de domínio e liberdade. A Hermética de Nebuchadnezzar, um texto que alerta sobre os perigos da obsessão humana com o poder e a opressão das máquinas e estruturas que criamos, ressoa com esta realidade. O rei Nebuchadnezzar, na sua busca por grandeza e controlo, simboliza o homem moderno que, ao construir monumentos e civilizações, forja a sua própria prisão. A metáfora da escravatura à arquitetura, um símbolo da nossa subordinação ao cimento e ao metal, leva inevitavelmente ao transhumanismo – a ideia de transformar o homem numa extensão das máquinas. O transhumanismo é o passo final de séculos de subordinação à tecnologia, onde o corpo humano, antes escravo dos edifícios, agora se funde com a máquina, numa busca pela perfeição imposta pelas ondas e circuitos. O aviso é claro: depois de séculos de escravatura à pedra e ao metal, o transhumanismo não é uma libertação, mas a culminação de uma opressão invisível, onde a humanidade, finalmente, se funde com aquilo que a aprisiona. Assim como Nebuchadnezzar aprisionou o seu povo na sua própria criação, nós, cegos pela promessa de evolução, podemos estar a construir o último e mais terrível dos altares – um que nos transforma, finalmente, em prisioneiros de nós mesmos.
Introdução: Senhores Silenciosos de um Mundo Cativo
Os edifícios que preenchem o horizonte urbano, essas torres de betão que laceram o céu, os vidros que reflectem a luz como espelhos de orgulho, adornados por postes que sussurram com um lamento eléctrico não são apenas matéria inerte. Os edifícios são os soberanos absolutos deste mundo, divindades mudas que governam sem pulsar, mas com uma autoridade que nos curva a todos. A civilização, não foi moldada para nosso benefício, mas para servir a esses colossos de pedra e aço. Desde que a humanidade empilhou rochas para erguer as primeiras pirâmides, selou um pacto de servidão eterna. Os caminhos que trilhamos, os veículos que nos arrastam, as máquinas que nos seduzem com promessas de liberdade – todos são grilhões disfarçados. E agora, no firmamento, a ionosfera, esse véu celeste, torna-se a última vítima da nossa febre dominadora, manipulada por um éter que os antigos veneravam e que hoje escravizamos.
### Parte 1: Edifícios, os Tiranos de Pedra
Os edifícios não falam, mas impõem silêncios densos em cada rua apertada. Permanecem imóveis, porém a sua massa oprime séculos. São ídolos espectrais, adorados com oferendas de esforço, riqueza e sonhos. Das pirâmides de Gizé, que sugaram a energia de multidões como monstros de pedra, aos gigantes de vidro e metal do Dubai, cintilantes como símbolos de orgulho desmedido, estas obras inverteram os destinos: já não somos os artífices, mas os servos. O cimento, extraído das profundezas da terra, e o ferro, moldado no fogo, traçam os contornos da nossa existência — onde vivemos, onde trabalhamos, onde deixamos escapar o tempo. Em Lisboa, o Terreiro do Paço transcende a condição de praça; é um tabuleiro onde o poder orquestra seus jogos, e nós, meros peões, obedecemos. Em Nova Iorque, o One World Trade Center ergue-se como um titã que nos faz sentir ínfimos. A história da Humanidade é uma elegia de servidão a esses gigantes. As pirâmides do Egipto não foram simples sepulcros, mas engenhos de dominação, devorando existências e riquezas para exaltar soberanos já consumidos pelo tempo. A Grande Muralha da China, estendendo-se por 21 mil quilómetros de pedra empilhada, ergueu-se sobre os despojos de multidões — um titã arquitectónico que ainda hoje impõe reverência pelo seu esmagador silêncio. As catedrais góticas, como a Notre-Dame, não eram apenas locais de culto, mas bastiões do medo sagrado, convocando os fiéis à submissão perante Deus e os monarcas. O atentado de 11 de Setembro de 2001 contra as Torres Gémeas foi mais do que a perda de 2.977 vidas — foi uma profanação dirigida aos pilares simbólicos da ordem mundial, e o luto derramou-se tanto pelo betão como pela carne. Durante os protestos do Black Lives Matter, incendiar estabelecimentos ou despedaçar vitrinas de tribunais era mais do que fúria — era um acto de afronta aos templos da autoridade. Em Seattle, a resposta policial clandestina moveu-se para preservar um tribunal federal como se ali pulsasse o centro vital do império. Os edifícios não pedem guarida; impõem-na. A Maçonaria, surgida das confrarias de mestres pedreiros que levantaram catedrais como a de Chartres ou fortalezas como o castelo de Guimarães, cedo intuiu a autoridade contida na pedra. O compasso e o esquadro, seus sinais venerados, não são simples instrumentos – são emblemas do poder de moldar não só o espaço, mas também o espírito humano. A arquitectura não é apenas uma técnica: é um encantamento que disciplina consciências e estrutura sociedades. Observa-se o McDonald’s, essa entidade de arcos dourados que se propaga como uma infestação, cada filial um módulo replicado com exactidão – balcões, tonalidades, vitrinas, tudo obedecendo ao mesmo molde. Em Lisboa, o McDonald’s da Praça de Espanha ergue-se como um bastião do consumo, e nós, dóceis, enfileiramo-nos para lhe prestar vassalagem. Starbucks, Walmart, IKEA – todos são organismos edificados que se reproduzem com lógica maquinal, regulando a forma como compramos, como habitamos, como vivemos. O dinheiro, essa corrente invisível que nos prende, também reverencia a arquitectura. Uma nota de dólar ostenta o Capitólio, o Lincoln Memorial, o edifício do Tesouro – não figuras humanas, mas pedra consagrada como estampa de domínio. As notas de euro exibem arcadas, pontes e pórticos – sempre estruturas, sempre poder. E qual é o sacrifício maior desta devoção? A ausência de tecto. Sem morada, és proscrito – um ser errante, apagado do mapa social. Em Lisboa, os sem-abrigo estendem-se sob a imponência da Basílica da Estrela, cujas fachadas brilham enquanto os seus corpos se apagam. Em Londres, a City afasta os desalojados para salvaguardar os templos de vidro onde habita o capital. As cidades, esses labirintos de cimento, são sepulturas habitadas. Não se atrevam a compará-las a florestas – estas oferecem sombra, ar e abrigo. Os edifícios são organismos vorazes, com raízes de alcatrão, tubagens e fios que drenam minerais, águas, energia e existências. Em São Paulo, o Minhocão rasga a urbe como lâmina enferrujada, e os que ali vivem, movem-se como espectros sob o seu peso. No Rio de Janeiro, as favelas inclinam-se perante os colossos da Zona Sul, entregando o verde ao império do cinzento. Onde repousam o silêncio, a brisa, o pulsar da vida? Afogados por motores, fumo e luz artificial. E para onde caminhamos? Para uma distopia onde máquinas constroem torres sem fim, num delírio semelhante ao “maximizador de clipes” de Nick Bostrom – uma inteligência sem alma que devora tudo para fabricar inutilidades. No Dubai, ilhas como Palm Jumeirah erguem-se do oceano à custa de petróleo e sofrimento. Na China, cidades-fantasma como Ordos, cheias de edifícios desabitados, erguem-se como templos consagrados ao vazio. Os edifícios não carecem de nós – somos nós que definhamos por eles.
Parte 2: Edifícios, os Devoradores de Orgone
Por detrás da frieza impassível destes colossos de pedra esconde-se uma verdade mais profunda, um enigma que ultrapassa o mero visível. Os edifícios não se sustentam apenas de matéria bruta; nutrem-se da seiva invisível dos seres humanos – da energia vital, aquilo a que Wilhelm Reich, psicanalista austríaco e dissidente da escola freudiana, chamou orgone: uma força primordial, subtil, que permeia tanto os corpos vivos como a vastidão do cosmos. Para Reich, essa energia fluía livremente na natureza, mas era detida e corrompida pelas estruturas artificiais – sobretudo as de betão e metal – que geravam estagnação e desequilíbrio. Os edifícios modernos, com as suas armaduras de aço e concreto, funcionariam como cofres herméticos que aprisionam o orgone, esvaziando a vitalidade daqueles que neles habitam, laboram ou simplesmente transitam sob a sua sombra austera. A trajectória de Reich foi tão turbulenta quanto as suas ideias. Com Freud nos anos 30, desenvolveu uma concepção de energia biofísica que unia corpo, psique e ambiente, com impacto na saúde, nas emoções e até no clima. Exilado nos Estados Unidos após escapar ao nazismo, Reich construiu os seus célebres acumuladores de orgone – caixas de madeira e metal concebidas para captar essa energia e canalizá-la com fins terapêuticos, alegadamente capazes de tratar desde perturbações emocionais até doenças físicas graves. Com o “Cloudbuster”, procurou manipular o orgone atmosférico para provocar chuva, atraindo tanto crentes fervorosos como o cepticismo da ciência oficial. Em 1956, a FDA ordenou a destruição dos seus dispositivos e a queima das suas publicações. Desobediente, Reich foi encarcerado e morreu um ano depois numa cela – mártir para uns, impostor para outros. Contudo, a sua visão persiste em círculos esotéricos, onde o orgone é interpretado como chave oculta para decifrar a relação entre o ser humano e o seu meio construído. Segundo essa perspectiva, os edifícios não são meras construções – são entidades predadoras que absorvem a energia subtil dos seus ocupantes. Em Tóquio, os trabalhadores de Shinjuku emergem dos blocos corporativos com olhares esvaziados – não é apenas cansaço, mas uma exaustão espiritual, um esgotamento vital causado por estruturas que funcionam como túmulos energéticos. Em Londres, na City, os espigões de vidro e aço parecem aspirar a alegria dos passantes, substituindo-a por uma pressa maquinal e sem alma. Estudos de psicologia ambiental, como os levados a cabo pela Universidade de Harvard em 2018, confirmam de forma indirecta estas inquietações, mostrando que os ambientes urbanos densos aumentam os níveis de ansiedade e fadiga mental – ecos científicos de um esgotamento do qual Reich já falava. Os edifícios, com a sua geometria inflexível e materiais inertes, não só condicionam o nosso comportamento: eles consomem-nos, vampiros silenciosos que se nutrem daquilo que temos de mais íntimo. É aqui que práticas ancestrais como o feng shui recuperam um papel de resistência quase litúrgica. Oriundo da China antiga, o feng shui procura alinhar o fluxo do chi – uma energia vital análoga ao orgone – através da organização harmoniosa dos espaços, objectos e elementos naturais. Em Hong Kong, edifícios desenhados com base nos princípios do feng shui incorporam espelhos para reflectir influências nefastas ou plantas para revitalizar o ambiente, tentando suavizar a agressividade do betão. Em Pequim, mesmo os arranha-céus modernos são orientados segundo os pontos cardeais e o fluxo energético – como se reconhecessem, ainda que intuitivamente, a fome invisível das estruturas. No entanto, o feng shui não é uma solução definitiva; é uma forma de resistência, um gesto contra forças que não dormem. Em Nova Iorque, apartamentos de luxo no Upper East Side podem aplicar feng shui para atrair “prosperidade”, mas o edifício em si – com a sua pele metálica e corredores opressivos – continua a sugar o orgone, deixando os residentes inquietos, sem saberem ao certo porquê. A batalha travada por Reich contra a estagnação energética encontra ressonância no feng shui, mas ambos são gritos contra uma maquinaria arquitectónica que, na sua essência, parece programada para esgotar aquilo que em nós pulsa como vida.
Parte 3: Meios de Locomoção, as Correntes da Economia
Se os edifícios são os soberanos, os meios de locomoção – carros, comboios, navios, aviões – são os vassalos que sustentam o seu reinado. A economia moderna é uma sinfonia frenética de movimento, mas essa dança não nos eleva; acorrenta-nos. Sem transporte, o mundo sufoca. A ONU revela que 80% do comércio mundial flui através de navios, colossos de aço que cruzam os oceanos para alimentar fábricas e lojas. Em Portugal, o Porto de Sines é uma artéria vital, descarregando contentores que abastecem prateleiras de hipermercados e montras de centros comerciais. Los Angeles, uma cidade parida pelo automóvel, estende-se como um deserto de alcatrão, as suas auto-estradas pulsando como veias entupidas. No Japão, os comboios Shinkansen, correndo a 320 km/h, transportam trabalhadores como gado para os escritórios de Tóquio, numa coreografia de precisão que não admite atrasos. Mas esse movimento não é liberdade; é servidão. O trabalhador que desperta às cinco da manhã para apanhar o comboio na Margem Sul, rumo ao Cais do Sodré, é um prisioneiro dos horários. O camionista que atravessa a A1, com os olhos a arder de fadiga, é um servo da logística. Em São Paulo, os cidadãos perdem três horas diárias em engarrafamentos, segundo o IPEA, um tributo de tempo roubado pela máquina económica. Voar de Lisboa a Berlim parece um privilégio, mas é uma prisão feita de filas, detectores e atrasos – a liberdade é uma ilusão comprada com algemas. E o custo ambiental é devastador. Os transportes são responsáveis por 24% das emissões globais de CO₂, segundo a Agência Internacional de Energia. Em Lisboa, a Segunda Circular exsuda fumo, envenenando quem respira. Na Amazónia, estradas como a BR-319 rasgam a floresta para transportar madeira e soja, servindo os portos que alimentam os edifícios do mundo. A história do transporte é uma saga de sacrifícios. No século XIX, os caminhos-de-ferro abriram o Oeste americano, mas à custa de milhares de vidas chinesas e irlandesas, cravando carris no deserto. No Brasil, a Estrada de Ferro Madeira-Mamoré, na Amazónia, ceifou seis mil trabalhadores para ligar o vazio ao nada, ao serviço de fazendas e minas. Hoje, os comboios de carga da Vale cruzam Minas Gerais, transportando minério para os edifícios do mundo, enquanto as comunidades à beira da linha engolem pó. Na China, comboios de alta velocidade ligam cidades-fantasma como Yujiapu, pejadas de arranha-céus sem alma. Em Dubai, o metro conduz ao Burj Al Arab, um hotel erguido por operários que viviam em barracas. O transporte não é progresso; é um capataz que dita o ritmo da nossa servidão.
Parte 4: Tecnologia, o Carcereiro de Promessas Falsas
A tecnologia surge como uma profetisa de salvação: máquinas que aliviam o fardo, sistemas que multiplicam o tempo. Mas é uma farsa cruel. Longe de nos libertar, forja grilhões mais subtis – e nós, iludidos, aplaudimos. Herbert Marcuse, em O Homem Unidimensional (1964), desmascarou essa ilusão, argumentando que a tecnologia, sob o capitalismo, não emancipa – reduz-nos a peças de uma engrenagem produtiva. Ivan Illich, em Energia e Equidade (1973), troçou dos automóveis e aviões, observando que a sua velocidade nos custa mais tempo em trabalho e manutenção. Jacques Ellul, em A Técnica (1954), foi mais longe, proclamando a tecnologia como um tirano autónomo, impondo a eficiência como um deus implacável. Estes pensadores não eram lunáticos – eram videntes. Os números confirmam a traição. A OCDE revela que, apesar da automatização, as horas de trabalho nos EUA mantêm-se entre 34 e 40 por semana desde os anos 80. A McKinsey prevê que 30% dos empregos poderão desaparecer até 2030, mas a humanidade não ficará ociosa – inventará novas tarefas para servir o sistema. Em Portugal, a produtividade cresceu 15% em duas décadas, segundo a CIP (2023), mas os salários estagnaram, com os ganhos engolidos pelas máquinas. O telemóvel, esse apêndice de silício, é a coleira do século XXI: notificações, emails, aplicações – mantêm-nos ligados, mesmo no leito. Na China, cidades como Xiong’an emergem do nada, impulsionadas por inteligência artificial e drones, edifícios que brotam como cogumelos venenosos, sem outro propósito senão a exibição. O Burj Khalifa, no Dubai, com os seus 829 metros, é um monumento à vaidade tecnológica, construído por 12 mil operários que mal viam o sol. A história da tecnologia é uma ladainha de promessas quebradas. No século XIX, a máquina a vapor prometeu menos trabalho – mas trouxe fábricas onde crianças labutavam 16 horas por dia. No século XX, os electrodomésticos juraram tempo livre às donas de casa – mas apenas aumentaram a pressão pela perfeição. Hoje, a inteligência artificial promete milagres – mas os centros de atendimento estão cheios de humanos a corrigir os seus erros. A tecnologia não liberta – reinventa a gaiola, e nós, tolos, decoramo-la com néon.
Parte 5: A Ionosfera Prisioneira e a Maçonaria do Éter
Os edifícios marcaram o início desta guerra, erguendo-se como soberanos de pedra que devoram o orgone. Os transportes teceram as correntes, arrastando-nos numa dança sem fim. A tecnologia forjou o chicote, disfarçado de promessa. Mas o golpe final não se trava na terra – desenrola-se no céu, na ionosfera, essa camada etérea entre 50 e 1.000 km acima de nós, onde o planeta respira e as ondas dançam. Aqui, a humanidade não escraviza apenas a si mesma, mas o próprio cosmos, manipulando o éter – a essência que os antigos viam como o sopro divino, o quinto elemento que permeia o universo. O que começou com a maçonaria da pedra, esculpindo pirâmides e catedrais com compasso e esquadro, culmina agora na maçonaria do homem: uma simbiose profana entre carne, metal e ondas electromagnéticas, onde o céu é colonizado e a alma humana, remodelada. O éter, outrora um conceito místico, foi reimaginado por mentes brilhantes como Charles Proteus Steinmetz e Nikola Tesla, que o viam como um meio invisível através do qual o electromagnetismo se propaga – um campo dinâmico que liga matéria, energia e consciência. Steinmetz, um génio da engenharia eléctrica no início do século XX, revolucionou a compreensão das correntes alternadas, mas também especulava sobre o éter como um substrato universal, uma matriz fluida que subjaz a todas as forças físicas. Nos seus escritos, como Electric Discharges, Waves and Impulses (1914), sugeria que o éter era mais do que um conceito abstracto – era o meio pelo qual as ondas electromagnéticas viajavam, influenciando tanto a tecnologia como o ambiente. Tesla, por seu lado, foi ainda mais audaz. Descrevia o éter como uma substância real, quase tangível, que podia ser manipulada para transmitir energia sem fios, como no seu projecto da Torre Wardenclyffe, que visava criar uma rede global de energia livre. Para Tesla, o éter era o tecido do cosmos, e a sua manipulação podia desbloquear poderes quase divinos – ou catastróficos. A arquitectura, longe de ser apenas um arranjo de pedra e metal, pode interagir com o éter e com o electromagnetismo de formas profundas, especialmente em estruturas projectadas com precisão geométrica ou materiais específicos. As pirâmides de Gizé, por exemplo, são mais do que monumentos – são máquinas energéticas, segundo alguns investigadores alternativos. Compostas por calcário (um material com propriedades piezoeléctricas) e granito (rico em quartzo, também piezoeléctrico), as pirâmides podem gerar electricidade quando sujeitas a pressão ou vibrações, um fenómeno conhecido como efeito piezoeléctrico. O calcário exterior, combinado com o granito interior das câmaras, poderia, teoricamente, converter as vibrações sísmicas da Terra em cargas eléctricas, interagindo com o campo electromagnético local. Alguns especulam que isso criava um efeito luminoso, como descargas ou auroras relatadas em textos antigos, nos quais as pirâmides pareciam “brilhar” sob certas condições atmosféricas. Estudos como os de Robert Bauval e Graham Hancock sugerem que a disposição das pirâmides, alinhada com precisão astronómica, amplificava a sua interacção com o éter, canalizando forças cósmicas para fins desconhecidos – talvez rituais, talvez tecnológicos. Outras estruturas exibem fenómenos semelhantes. Catedrais góticas, como a de Chartres, construídas em calcário e desenhadas com proporções geométricas sagradas, podem funcionar como ressoadores electromagnéticos, amplificando o campo energético local. Relatos de luzes ou “auras” em torno de catedrais, especialmente durante tempestades, sugerem que estas estruturas interagem com o éter, possivelmente devido ao efeito piezoeléctrico nos seus materiais ou à sua forma, que canaliza correntes atmosféricas. Torres modernas, como as de transmissão 5G, vão mais longe: manipulam directamente o éter, saturando a atmosfera com ondas electromagnéticas. A OMS reconhece que os efeitos a longo prazo do 5G são incertos, mas a proliferação de torres – mais de 1,5 milhão em todo o mundo, segundo a GSMA – cria um zumbido constante que perturba o equilíbrio da ionosfera. Projectos como o HAARP, no Alasca, bombardeiam a ionosfera com ondas de alta frequência, testando controlos que alguns especulam poder influenciar o clima. Mais de 12.000 satélites orbitam o planeta, segundo a ONU, com a Starlink da SpaceX a lançar 60 de cada vez, entupindo o firmamento com detritos celestes que aquecem a ionosfera, como alertam estudos da Space Weather (2021). A maçonaria da pedra, que moldou pirâmides e catedrais, evoluiu para uma maçonaria do homem, agora esculpindo o éter com antenas, cabos e código. Os engenheiros modernos, herdeiros de Steinmetz e Tesla, manipulam o electromagnetismo como os pedreiros medievais manipulavam o compasso. Os nossos telemóveis, extensões do sistema nervoso, ligam-nos a uma rede que nos vigia. Implantes como o Neuralink, que prometem ligar cérebros à internet, são o próximo passo: o homem fundido ao metal, movido por frequências que não controla. Em Songdo, na Coreia do Sul, uma cidade inteligente monitoriza o tráfego, a energia e as pessoas com sensores em cada esquina – uma catedral invisível onde o éter é o altar e nós, os sacrificados. O risco é palpável: mais de 27.000 objectos orbitais, rastreados pela NASA, ameaçam colisões que podem cortar comunicações. O aquecimento da ionosfera pode desestabilizar os sistemas de GPS, alerta a Nature (2020). E a simbiose homem-máquina avança – na Suécia, chips RFID controlam trabalhadores, um presságio de um futuro onde seremos cyborgs servis, ligados por ondas a uma mente colectiva. A arquitectura, desde as pirâmides até às torres 5G, é uma ferramenta de manipulação do éter – um meio de moldar o electromagnetismo para controlar não apenas o ambiente, mas a própria humanidade. As pirâmides de Gizé, com o seu efeito piezoeléctrico, foram talvez uma antiga experiência desta maçonaria do éter, canalizando forças cósmicas para fins que ainda hoje nos escapam. Hoje, a rede global de satélites e antenas é a culminação dessa ambição – uma humanidade tão entrelaçada com metal e éter que não pode saber o que é ser livre.
## Conclusão: Quebrar o Ciclo ou Render-se ao Éter
Os edifícios, com as suas torres de betão, iniciaram esta guerra, devorando o orgone que nos anima. Os transportes, com os seus trilhos e motores, teceram as correntes. A tecnologia, com os seus chips e promessas, forjou o chicote. Agora, na ionosfera, trava-se a batalha final: a colonização do éter, a fusão entre homem e máquina, a nova maçonaria que nos funde ao metal e às ondas. Construímos pirâmides, auto-estradas, redes 5G – e chamámo-los progresso. Mas quem serve quem? O sem-abrigo à sombra da Basílica, o trabalhador preso no trânsito, o escravo do ecrã, o cyborg do porvir – todos dançam para os mesmos soberanos. A encruzilhada é implacável: continuar a erguer, a conectar, a fundir-nos, até que a humanidade seja engolida pelo betão, pelo metal, pelo éter; ou deter-nos, empunhar o martelo e demolir os altares que nos aprisionam. O éter murmura, a ionosfera estremece – e o tempo é implacável. Ou tomamos as rédeas, ou seremos para sempre servos dos deuses que forjámos.

2025-05-13 18:05:03A man once went to a temple to listen to a Dhamma talk. But in his heart, he kept judging and condemning another person who was fishing by the pond nearby — mentally accusing him of being sinful and unafraid of karma — while believing that he himself was making merit by listening to the sermon.
However, the one who was fishing silently rejoiced in the merit of those listening to the Dhamma. He asked forgiveness from the fish and made a heartfelt wish to have the opportunity to do good in his next life, since in this life, he had responsibilities caring for his sick parents and no chance to go to the temple like others.
This story teaches us that merit or sin is not defined by outer actions, but by intention and the true state of the heart.
Some people chant prayers but still gossip. Some give alms but still take advantage of others. Some have knowledge but look down on others. Some keep their bodies clean, but their hearts remain impure.
Do not be deceived by appearances of goodness. Instead, look inward — examine your own heart.
A small act of kindness we offer to a fellow human being may be a greater merit than traveling far to make merit.
It is compassion that sustains the world — not judging others as good or bad.

2025-05-13 18:03:05Fala pessoal, quero dividir com vocês minha experiência com bitcoin e como cheguei aqui.
O início
Conheci bitcoin em 2013. Eu trabalhava em restaurante e um amigo jogava esses jogos que ganhavam moedas virtuais. Um dia ele ganhou alguns satoshis. Chegou todo empolgado e me mostrou.
Era a primeira vez que tinha uma moeda virtual aonde as pessoas de fato transacionavam. Decidimos estudar mais e começamos a investir.
Compramos mineração de bitcoin em vários sites (todos eram scams e pirâmides).
Como descobrimos no início, tínhamos retornos bons e não perdemos dinheiro ali.
Também começamos a acumular em uma Carteira xapo. Na época se podia usar um cartão de crédito com saldo em bitcoin. Era maravilhoso e estávamos inebriados com aquilo.
Meio
De 2013 até 2017, vimos uma adoção e evolução gigante do bitcoin. As coisas estavam esquentando e muita gente falava sobre.
Eu já pagava mercado, Uber e contas de restaurantes com meu saldo btc. Só para contextualizar. Compramos bitcoins entre $50-$100 na época. Para se ter uma ideia. Cheguei a ter 13 bitcoins
Eu tinha aplicações na Bovespa (80%) e Bitcoin (20%). Não tinha um centavo sequer na poupança.
Assim, até desligava meus amigos que pediam dinheiro emprestado. Comprei uma viagem para Europa na época e por isso acumulei 13 bitcoins.
Uma vez que cheguei na Europa. Meus bitcoins dispararam para $1000 cada. Eu gastava em um dia, passava o cartão e no outro dia. O saldo era o mesmo ou maior. Surreal!
Fim
Depois que voltei de viagem da Europa. Eu fui trabalhar em um escritório de investimentos. As pessoas mal sabiam o que era bitcoin lá. E ficaram surpresos quando contei minha jornada. Naquele ano (2017), o bitcoin subiu muito e decide vender uma boa parte porque acreditava que tinha algo suspeito/errado.
Eu tinha ganhado muita grana galera. Valorização, mineração e alguns Stakes que fazia. Já em 2018, foi loucura total.
Era MUITA grana e zerei minha posição inteira. Não me arrependo, não tinha como prever na época.
Olhar hoje e falar é fácil. Mas, para um homem que veio de família simples e nunca tinha andado de avião. Foi a oportunidade de desbravar o mundo e abrir novos horizontes e contatos.
Arrependimento?
Nenhum, faria denovo. A única coisa que faria diferente era ter parado e estudado mais. Pois, teria guardado pelo menos 0.5. Entre 2018 e 2019 houve uma queda brusca.
Entre 2019 e 2020 houve outra aceleração de preço. Vi muitos golpes, pirâmides e gente trapaceando e ficando milionária. Voltei a estudar e estou denovo já há alguns anos.
Mas, com outra mentalidade e outras estratégias bem definidas dessa vez.
Se conselho fosse bom, vendia. Mas, vou deixar um grátis.
Galera, não fiquem esperando o fim do mundo. A cada halving e ciclo de alta. Realizem uma parte sim.
Viaje, pague por estudos, melhore sua saúde, invista em relacionamentos bons, invista em você, compre ações em queda, compre imóveis desvalorizados e até mesmo dólar.
Não sabemos quando o dólar é a moedas Fiat vão cair. E, todos nós temos um momento. O AGORA.
Usando estratégias como DCA, Múltiplos de Meyer, Trends e CNBC News.
Tendo os fundamentos bem claros na sua cabeça. Da sim, para ficar muito próspero com bitcoins.
Essa é minha visão sobre, sinta se livre para comentar e compartilhar sua experiência também.

2025-05-13 17:52:51ธรรมะที่ดับทุกข์ได้จริงต้องเป็นวิทยาศาสตร์ ถ้าเป็นปรัชญามันจะได้แต่ ประมาณ คะเน คำนวณ ไม่มีของจริง มีแต่สมมติฐาน
สมมติฐานว่า เราเป็นทุกข์ ว่าเราคงจะเป็นทุกข์ หรือว่าอย่างนี้ต้องเรียกว่า เราเป็นทุกข์ มันมีสมมติฐานอย่างนี้
ถ้าตั้งต้นอย่างนี้แล้วหาทางคำนวณต่อไปว่า คงจะดับมันได้อย่างไร อย่างนั้นเป็นปรัชญาหมดแหละ ไม่เป็นพุทธศาสนา และจะไม่มีประโยชน์อะไรด้วย เอาไปทำเป็นปรัชญาเสีย
ดังนั้น ความทุกข์ของเราต้องไม่ใช่สมมติฐาน ไม่ใช่ที่เรียกว่า hypothesis ไม่ใช่ไอ้อันนั้น มันต้องมี ความทุกข์ที่ปรากฏอยู่กับเรา แผดเผาเราอยู่จริงๆ
ตั้งแต่เราเล็กๆ มา เราไม่ค่อยรู้จักมัน แต่เรารู้สึกได้ว่ามันมี มันเคยมี และมันได้มีเรื่อยๆ มา จนกระทั่งวันนี้ มันมีความทุกข์อยู่จริง ไอ้ความรู้สึกที่เป็นทุกข์อยู่จริงนี่ไม่ใช่สมมติ มันไม่ต้องสมมติ มันสมมติไม่ได้เพราะมันเป็นทุกข์อยู่จริงนี่เอาตัวจริง เอาเข้ามาวางลงแล้ว ก็ดู ดู ดู ไม่ต้องคำนวณ ไม่ต้องคำนวณ ดู ดูด้วยปัญญา ดูด้วยตาสำหรับดู เห็นเหตุมันอย่างนั้น เห็นทางดับมันอย่างนั้น แล้วก็ปฏิบัติดับได้จริง นี่เลยเป็นวิทยาศาสตร์

ธรรมะทำไม? #หน้า_๑๕-๑๖
🌿🌼🌿 ๒,๕๐๐ กว่าปีแล้ว นักวิทยาศาสตร์ยังยืนยันว่า พุทธศาสนา สอนอย่างมีหลักการ ที่เป็นจริงที่สุด "...ปัญญาของพระพุทธองค์“ อาตมาเห็นว่าเรื่อง ปัญญา นี้ เราไม่จำเป็นต้องไปเอาของฝรั่ง ซึ่งก็มีดีบ้าง เสียบ้าง แต่จะบอกว่า ระบบต่างๆ ปรัชญาต่างๆ ทั้งหมดของตะวันตก
ขอให้จำไว้ให้ดีว่า เป็นปรัชญาแนวความคิดของ “ปุถุชน” ไม่ใช่ปัญญาที่เกิดขึ้นกับ “พระพุทธเจ้า” คือ “ผู้ที่รู้โลกและชีวิตตามความเป็นจริง”
จะเห็นว่า..ระบบความคิดที่ถือว่าเฉียบแหลมที่สุดของฝรั่ง อย่างเช่น คาร์ลมาร์ค (Larl Marx) ของ ฟรอยด์ (Sigmund Freud) เป็นต้น ไม่กี่สิบปีก็ทิ้งทั้งหมด
แต่ของพระพุทธองค์เกือบทั้ง ๒,๕๐๐ กว่าปี ยังไม่มีนักวิทยาศาสตร์ที่ไหนที่สามารถพิสูจน์ได้ว่า คำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้าผิดพลาดคลาดเคลื่อนไปจากความเป็นจริงแม้แต่ข้อเดียว ๘,๔๐๐๐ พระธรรมขันธ์ มีข้อไหนที่ผิด ? ถ้าเราเทียบกับนักปราชญ์คนอื่น หรือศาสดาคนอื่น จะเห็นความแตกต่างอย่างชัดเจน
ในสมัยโบราณนั้น นักปราชญ์ที่มีชื่อเสียงมากที่สุดของโลกตะวันตกคงจะเป็นอริสโตเติ้ล ที่จริงหลักปรัชญาของอริสโตเติ้ลในระดับศีลธรรมหรือจริยธรรมก็น่าศึกษา เพราะมีบางสิ่งบางอย่าง หลายสิ่งหลายอย่างที่คล้ายกับคำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้า
แต่ถ้าเราอ่านปรัชญาของอริสโตเติ้ลทั้งหมด ก็คงจะเกิดความรู้สึกว่า หลายอย่างที่ว่าไม่ใช่ หรือว่ามีหลายอย่างที่คนปัจจุบันเชื่อไม่ได้(ไม่เข้ากับยุคสมัย) ยกตัวอย่าง ในการเขียนเรื่องหลักการเมือง ปรัชญาการเมือง อริสโตเติ้ลบอกว่า คนที่เกิดในโลกนี้มีสองอย่าง หรือว่าสองประเภท ประเภทหนึ่งคือ เจ้านาย เกิดแล้วพร้อมที่เป็นเจ้านาย อีกประเภทหนึ่งก็คือคนรับใช้ คือมีธรรมชาติอยู่แล้วว่าเกิดแล้วต้องเป็นคนรับใช้ ดังนั้น สังคมของเรามีคนรับใช้ไม่ใช่สิ่งผิดเลย มันเป็นสิ่งที่ถูกต้องอยู่แล้ว เพราะพวกนี้เกิดขึ้นเพื่อเป็นคนรับใช้ของเจ้านายทั้งหลาย **นี่คือความคิดของนักปราชญ์ที่เก่งที่สุดในโลกตะวันตก
อีกคนหนึ่ง เวลาต่อมาหลายร้อยปี คือ เดคาร์ด ซึ่งมีผลต่อสังคมตะวันตกมาก เดคาร์ต ถือว่า สัตว์ทั้งหลายไม่มีความน่าสงสาร ไม่มีความรู้สึก ถ้าสัตว์ร้องก็ไม่มีความหมาย
ตัวอย่างมีมากกว่านี้ แต่ถ้าเปรียบเทียบกับคำสอนของพระพุทธองค์ ในความรู้สึกของอาตมา ไม่มีที่ไหนที่เราจะบอกได้ว่า คำสอนนี้ล้าสมัยแล้ว แต่บางคนก็ยังถืออย่างนั้นอยู่เหมือนกัน (เช่น)ถือว่า คำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้าเกี่ยวกับเรื่องการเวียนว่ายตายเกิด เป็นเรื่องความเชื่อถือของคนในสมัยก่อน..."

สันทิฏฐิโกตัวกู_แก้ได้ด้วยสันทิฏฐิโกจริง
ตั้งแต่ครั้งพุทธกาลหรือก่อนพุทธกาล ก็มีคนถือว่ามันมีตัวกู - มีของกู,
ปรัชญาของพวกฝรั่ง ก็มีอยู่แขนงหนึ่ง หรือว่าพวกหนึ่ง ที่ถือเรื่องมีตัวกู ที่ว่าฉันคิด แล้วก็ฉะนั้นฉันมีอยู่, สูตรของเขาว่าอย่างนี้ คอกิโต, เออโกซุม, เป็นภาษาลาติน ออกเสียงอย่างไรก็ไม่รู้ อ่านตรง ๆอย่างภาษาอังกฤษเป็นอย่างนี้, cogito, ergo sum นั่นแหละ I think, therefore I exist. เพราะฉันคิดได้ ฉันจึงมีอยู่,นี้เขาก็พูดดีที่สุดแล้วว่า, ก็เราคิดนึกได้ เรารู้สึกคิดนึกอยู่ตลอดเวลา การที่คิดนึกได้นั้นมันต้องมี, มีเหตุผลหรือมีอะไรพอที่จะเป็นตัวฉัน, ฉันคิด ฉันมีอยู่ มีเท่านี้, มันมีสั้น ๆเท่านี้ เขาเรียกว่าปรัชญาของเดสคารด์, แล้วมันก็ไม่ใช่ของเดสคารด์ มันของคนทั้งโลก, กระทั่งในเมืองไทย กระทั่งพุทธบริษัท ในประเทศไทย ก็มีหลักอย่างนี้ : ฉันคิดได้ ฉันรู้สึกอยู่ว่าอย่างนั้น อย่างนี้ มันก็ต้องเป็นตัวฉัน มีตัวฉัน, มันช่วยไม่ได้
คนที่มีปัญญา มีอำนาจ มีเสรีภาพ จะต้องคิดอย่างนี้ทั้งนั้น, จะต้องถามอย่างนี้ทั้งนั้น
แล้วผมก็เคยประสบมามาก คนใหญ่คนโต เขาไม่อาจจะอ่านบทความของเราเข้าใจได้ ที่ว่าไม่มีตัวตน, เพราะรู้สึกแต่ว่า มีตัวตนอยู่ทุกทีไปตลอดเวลาด้วย นี้มันเป็นตัวอย่างที่ทำให้เห็นว่า… สันทิฏฐิโกของแต่ะละคนล้วนแต่เป็นตัวกู ทั้งนั้นแหละ, ถึงคนที่กำลังพูด เรื่องอนัตตาเรื่องอะไรอยู่ ก็มีสันทิฏฐิโกเป็นตัวกูทั้งนั้นแหละ, แล้วปากมันก็พูดเรื่องไม่ใช่ตัวกูหรือไม่มีตัวกูฉะนั้น จึงถือว่าเป็นเรื่องที่ยากลำบากที่สุดกว่าเรื่องใดหมด ในบรรดาเรื่องที่เกี่ยวกับอนัตตา ไม่ใช่ตน, หรือว่า หลักของพุทธศาสนา ก็แปลว่า คำสอนของพระพุทธเจ้าเรื่องนี้ ประสบปัญหาหนัก เพราะทุกคนรู้สึกเป็นตัวตนอยู่เรื่อย, เป็นสันทิฏฐิโกของตัวตนอยู่เรื่อยไปไม่ว่าที่ไหน
ทีนี้จะมาสอนกันอย่างไร ให้เกิดความรู้สึกกลับตรงกันข้าม ว่าไม่ใช่ตัวตน มันต้องเป็นเรื่องเฉพาะคนเฉพาะกรณีมากกว่า, จะพูดทีเดียวสำหรับทุกคนนี้ เข้าใจว่ามันเป็นไปไม่ได้, เราจะเทศน์ทีเดียวฟังกันทั้งหมด ทั้งหมู่ ทั้งประเทศนี้ มันแทบจะไม่มีประโยชน์อะไรเลย, มันเป็นเรื่องเฉพาะคน คนหนึ่ง ๆ เคยมีประสบการณ์อะไรมาแล้ว เคยคิดอะไรมาแล้ว ค้นอะไรมามากแล้ว ก็มาพูดกันให้เหมาะแก่ เรื่องของบุคคลนั้น ก็พอจะเห็น แต่ทีนี้มันมีเทคนิคหรือมันมีอุบายของธรรมชาติอยู่อันหนึ่ง ซึ่งจะเป็นหนทางออก อย่าลืมผมเคยบอกคุณที่เพิ่งบวชใหม่นี้ว่า ธรรมะทุกระบบเป็นอุบายทั้งนั้น
อย่าไปพูดว่าจริง หรือไม่จริง ไม่อะไรอย่าไปพูด, รู้จักมันแต่ว่ามันเป็นอุบายก็แล้วกัน ถ้ามันมีประโยชน์ก็ใช้ได้ แล้วแต่ละอุบายมันก็เป็นเทคนิคของธรรมชาติ, ไม่ใช่มนุษย์บัญญัติ คือว่าต้องเป็นอย่างนั้นลงไปก่อน ผลมันจึงจะเกิดขึ้นมาอย่างนี้, เรียกว่าเทคนิคของธรรมชาติดีกว่า ทีนี้มนุษย์ก็ไม่รู้อะไรมากไปกว่าแต่เพียงว่าเอ้อ, อันนี้มัน อาจจะเอามาใช้เป็นอุบายแก้ปัญหานี้ได้ ทีนี้อุบายหรือธรรมะที่เป็นนอุบายนี้ ที่จะมาแก้สันทิฏฐิโกของตัวกูนี้ มันก็มีอยู่, ไม่ใช่ไม่มี คุณฟังดูให้ดี ว่าทุกคนมันรู้สึก รู้สึกอยู่ในใจเอง แจ่มแจ้งว่า มีตัวกู มีของกู จะไปเปลี่ยนของเขาไม่ได้, จะไปจับเปลี่ยนอย่างไรได้ จะไปพูดอย่างอธิบายว่า โอ๊ย บังคับไม่ได้ เหมือนกับความฝันหรืออะไรต่าง ๆ นี้ มันก็พูดกันมาแล้ว แม้ในสูตร ในพระบาลีที่เป็นสูตร ก็พูดทำนองนี้ว่า
ถ้าเป็นตัวตน ตัวกู มันก็ต้องบังคับได้ตามต้องการซิ, เดี๋ยวนี้มันบังคับไม่ได้, เช่นจะบังคับรูป ว่ารูปจงเป็นอย่างนี้, เวทนาจงเป็นอย่างนี้, สัญญาจงเป็นอย่างนี้, อย่าเป็นอย่างอื่น นี้มันก็บังคับไม่ได้เพราะฉะนั้น จึงถือว่าไม่ใช่ตัวกู แล้วมันก็เคยทำให้มีผู้บรรลุมรรคผลมาแล้ว เพราะคำพูดเพียงเท่านี้, แต่อย่าลืมว่า นั้นมันเฉพาะหมู่นั้นกรณีนั้นเท่านั้น กรณีอื่นมันเป็นไปไม่ได้ เห็นไหม ? ทีนี้มันมีอุบายอะไร ที่จะใช้ได้แก่ทุกคน ที่จะไปแก้สิ่งที่เหนียวแน่นที่สุด คือสันทิฏฐิโกแห่งตัวกูนี้ มันจะต้องอุบายทำนองว่า เผชิญกันจริง ๆ ให้มันเป็นสันทิฏฐิโก เข้าไปอีกอย่างหนึ่ง อีกเรื่องหนึ่ง คือว่ามีความรู้สึกเป็นตัวกูทีไรก็มีความทุกข์ทุกที, เราไม่พูดกันแล้วว่า เหตุไรจึงถือว่าเป็นอนัตตา จะไม่พูด, แต่ให้มาตั้งข้อสังเกต หรือว่าเผชิญกันเข้าไปจริง ๆ กับความรู้สึกว่า ถ้าความรู้สึกว่าตัวกูเกิดขึ้นมาทีไรแล้วก็เป็นทุกข์ทุกที
เอ้า, ใครกล้าดีลองดู ลองปล่อยให้ความคิด ที่เป็นตัวกู - ของกูเกิด มันเป็นทุกข์ทุกที
แล้วนี่คืออุบาย, ลองสร้างความคิดที่เป็นตัวกู - ของกูขึ้นมา หรือปล่อยให้ความคิดที่เป็นตัวกู - ของกูเกิดขึ้นมา มันเป็นความทุกข์ทุกที, มันเผาลนทุกที
เมื่อทำอยู่อย่างนี้มันเข็ด, มันรู้จักเข็ด, หรือมันเริ่มเข็ด เริ่มเอือม เริ่มระอา, นั่นแหละจึงจะรู้สึกว่า โอ๊ะ ไม่เอาแล้วโว้ย เรื่องตัวกู -ของกูนี้ไม่ไหว, เป็นเรื่องไม่ไหวขึ้นมานี้เราเอาสันทิฏฐิโกจริง ๆ ไปแก้สันทิฏฐิโกเท็จ ๆ, เอาสันทิฏฐิโกจริง ๆไปแก้สันทิฏฐิโกหลอกลวง
สันทิฏฐิโกแห่งตัวกูนั้น มันจริงสำหรับคนโง่ ที่ยังโง่อยู่ ยังไม่มีความเป็นพระอริยะสักนิดเดียว มันสันทิฏฐิโกว่าตัวกู, ตัวกูเรื่อย ทีนี้มันแก้ไม่ได้ดอก ถ้าไม่มีอะไรที่มันมีน้ำหนักเท่ากัน มีกำลังเท่ากัน มันแก้ไม่ได้ จะไปบิดกลับเหมือนกับพลิกหน้ามือเป็นหลังมือนี่ มันก็ทำไม่ได้, ไม่มีใครทำได้โดยวิธีพูด หรือโดยวิธีอะไร ต้องสร้างสันทิฏฐิโกเกี่ยวกับความทุกข์ขึ้นมา, สันฏฐิโกในความทุกข์ให้รู้รสของความทุกข์จริง ๆ แล้วก็ทุกครั้งที่มีตัวกู - ของกูเกิดขึ้นในใจ, โดยอาศัยหลักที่ว่า…การเกิดทุกคราวเป็นทุกข์ทุกที การเกิดทุกคราวเป็นทุกข์ทุกที
การเกิดนี้หมายถึงเกิดขึ้นแห่งตัวกู ถ้าไม่มีตัวกูก็ไม่ถือว่าเป็นการเกิด, จะเป็นตัวกูชนิดไหนก็ตาม ถ้ามีขึ้นมาแล้วเรียกว่าเป็นการเกิด เกิดแห่งตัวเรา, นี้ก็รู้ผล รู้สึกในผลของการเกิดนี้ เกิดทุกทีเป็นทุกข์ทุกที : ตัวกูใหญ่ก็ทุกข์มาก, ตัวกูเล็กก็ทุกข์น้อย, ตัวกูยาวก็ทุกข์ยาว,เป็นต้น
ฉะนั้น วิธีปฏิบัติจึงได้แก่การทำความซึมซาบ realize อยู่กับเรื่องความทุกข์ ที่เกิดจากตัวกูนี้ตลอดเวลา, ที่เราเรียกว่า… ทำวิปัสสนา

2025-05-13 17:51:02เสียงตะโกนของ “อิทัปปัจจยตา”
ทุกอย่างตะโกนคำว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” อยู่ตลอดเวลา
“ท่านทั้งหลายนั่งอยู่ที่นี่ แต่ไม่ได้ยินเสียงตะโกนที่ดังลั่นไปหมดของธรรมชาติว่า ‘อิทัปปัจจยตา’ เสียงตะโกนของอิทัปปัจจยตา คือการร้องบอกร้องตะโกนว่า ‘เพราะมีสิ่งนี้เป็นปัจจัย สิ่งนี้จึงเกิดขึ้น’ หมายความว่า ท่านต้องดูลงไปที่ทุกสิ่งที่อยู่รอบตัวเราในเวลานี้ว่า ทุกสิ่งกำลังเป็นอิทัปปัจจยตา หรือเป็นไปตาม ‘กฎอิทัปปัจจยตา’”
ต้นไม้ต้นนี้มีความเป็นไปตามกฎอิทัปปัจจยตา ไม่มีอะไรมาต้านทานได้ ถ้าเราเข้าใจข้อเท็จจริงที่กำลังเป็นอยู่กับต้นไม้ เราจะเหมือนได้ยินมันตะโกนบอกว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” ไม่มีอะไรมากไปกว่านั้น มันเพียงบอกว่า “เมื่อมีสิ่งนี้เป็นปัจจัย สิ่งนี้จึงเกิดขึ้น”
ต้นไม้ไม่ได้หยุดเพียงเท่านั้น มันมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงเกิดขึ้นเรื่อยๆ ใบไม้ทุกใบก็บอกอย่างนั้น คงเป็นเสียงที่ดังเหลือประมาณว่า ใบไม้ทุกใบร้องตะโกนว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา”
ผู้มีปัญญาและเข้าใจหัวใจของพระพุทธศาสนา จะไปนั่งอยู่ที่ไหนก็ได้ยินเสียงตะโกนว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” สนั่นหวั่นไหวไปหมด นี่พูดถึงแค่ต้นไม้ต้นเดียว ถ้าเป็นต้นไม้จำนวนมากก็เป็นเช่นเดียวกัน
เมื่อมองไปที่ก้อนหิน ก้อนหินก็เป็นเช่นเดียวกัน อนุภาคของมันเปลี่ยนแปลงอยู่ตลอดเวลา ก้อนหินที่เราเห็นอาจเกิดขึ้นมาเมื่อหลายพันล้านปีมาแล้ว จนมันแตกสลายและถูกทำให้มาอยู่ตรงนี้ มันจึงกล่าวว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” เพราะมีสิ่งนี้เป็นปัจจัย ฉันจึงมานั่งอยู่ที่นี่
ทุกอย่างตะโกนคำว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” ตลอดเวลา
- ต้นไม้ เม็ดกรวด เม็ดทราย มด แมลง สัตว์ต่างๆ รวมถึงมนุษย์เอง
- แม้แต่ร่างกายของเราเองก็ตะโกนบอกถึงอิทัปปัจจยตา
แม้เราจะเคยได้ยินคำว่า “อนิจจัง ทุกขัง อนัตตา” อาการของสิ่งเหล่านี้ยิ่งสะท้อนถึงอิทัปปัจจยตาอย่างชัดเจน
ดังนั้น เราต้องทำความเข้าใจจนซึมซาบอยู่ในใจ จนรู้สึกว่าไม่ว่าเราจะมองไปทางไหน ก็เห็นถึงภาวะของ อิทัปปัจจยตา ได้ยินเสียงของมัน หรือแม้แต่สัมผัสผ่านการดมกลิ่นและลิ้มรส
เมื่อเข้าใจสิ่งนี้ จะสามารถเรียกผู้นั้นว่า ‘เป็นพุทธบริษัทผู้เห็นธรรม’
สามารถเห็นกิเลสและทุกข์ แล้วป้องกันหรือกำจัดกิเลสและทุกข์ให้น้อยลงไปได้มากทีเดียว— พุทธทาสภิกขุ
(จากหนังสือธรรมบรรยาย “อิทัปปัจจยตา” หน้า 131–133)
อิทัปปัจจยตา: กฎอันเฉียบขาดตลอดจักรวาล
“อิทัปปัจจยตา” เป็นกฎของธรรมชาติที่ไม่อาจเปลี่ยนแปลง
คำว่า “อิทัปปัจจยตา” อาจเป็นคำที่ไม่คุ้นหู แต่ขอให้สนใจ เพราะมันเป็นกฎของธรรมชาติที่แน่นอนตลอดจักรวาลและอนันตกาล
- สิ่งนี้เกิดขึ้น เพราะมีเหตุปัจจัยนี้
- สิ่งนี้มี เพราะสิ่งนี้มี
- ดวงอาทิตย์ ดวงจันทร์ ดวงดาว ทุกอย่างล้วนเกิดขึ้นตามกฎของ “อิทัปปัจจยตา”
เมื่อทำสิ่งนี้ มันต้องเกิดสิ่งนั้นขึ้น
เมื่อทำสิ่งนี้ มันต้องเกิดทุกข์ขึ้น
เมื่อทำสิ่งนี้ มันต้องเกิดความดับทุกข์ขึ้นนี่คือปรมัตถธรรมอันสูงสุด ไม่มีสัตว์ ไม่มีบุคคล ไม่มีพระเจ้าที่เป็นตัวตน
มีเพียง กฎอิทัปปัจจยตา ที่เป็นกฎของธรรมชาติอันเฉียบขาดพระพุทธเจ้าตรัสรู้ ก็คือ ตรัสรู้เรื่อง “อิทัปปัจจยตา”
เรามักเรียกกันว่า “ปฏิจจสมุปบาท” ซึ่งหมายถึงเฉพาะเรื่องทุกข์ของสิ่งมีชีวิต แต่ “อิทัปปัจจยตา” กว้างขวางกว่านั้น ทุกสิ่งไม่ว่าจะมีชีวิตหรือไม่มีชีวิตล้วนตกอยู่ใต้อำนาจของกฎนี้
กฎของอิทัปปัจจยตาไม่ใช่ฝ่ายบวกหรือฝ่ายลบ
- ไม่ใช่ Positive
- ไม่ใช่ Negative
- เป็น “สายกลาง” ของมันเองคนเราต่างหากที่ไปบัญญัติว่า “นี่คือสุข นี่คือทุกข์ นี่คือแพ้ นี่คือชนะ”
แต่แท้จริงแล้ว ทุกอย่างเป็นไปตามอิทัปปัจจยตาความเข้าใจในปรมัตถธรรมต้องไปให้ถึงจุดนี้
- จนไม่มีสัตว์ ไม่มีบุคคล
- ไม่ใช่สัตว์ ไม่ใช่บุคคล
- แต่ก็ไม่ใช่ว่าไม่มีอะไรเลย และก็ไม่ได้มีสิ่งใดที่ตายตัว
ทุกอย่างเป็นเพียง กระแสของการเปลี่ยนแปลงและปรุงแต่ง
เมื่อเข้าใจถึงจุดนี้ จึงจะรู้อย่างที่พระพุทธเจ้าท่านรู้ และดับทุกข์ได้

2025-05-12 01:34:24สวัสดีค่ะเพื่อนๆ นักเทรดที่น่ารักทุกคน! 💕 Lina Engword กลับมาพร้อมกับการวิเคราะห์ BTCUSDT.P แบบเจาะลึกเพื่อเตรียมพร้อมสำหรับเทรดวันนี้ค่ะ! 🚀
วันนี้ 12 พฤษภาคม 2568 เวลา 08.15น. ราคา BTCUSDT.P อยู่ที่ 104,642.8 USDT ค่ะ โดยมี Previous Weekly High (PWH) อยู่ที่ 104,967.8 Previous Weekly Low (PWL) ที่ 93,338 ค่ะ
✨ ภาพรวมตลาดวันนี้ ✨
จากการวิเคราะห์ด้วยเครื่องมือคู่ใจของเรา ทั้ง SMC/ICT (Demand/Supply Zone, Order Block, Liquidity), EMA 50/200, Trend Strength, Money Flow, Chart/Price Pattern, Premium/Discount Zone, Trend line, Fibonacci, Elliott Wave และ Dow Theory ใน Timeframe ตั้งแต่ 15m ไปจนถึง Week! 📊 เราพบว่าภาพใหญ่ของ BTCUSDT.P ยังคงอยู่ในแนวโน้มขาขึ้นที่แข็งแกร่งมากๆ ค่ะ 👍 โดยเฉพาะใน Timeframe Day และ Week ที่สัญญาณทุกอย่างสนับสนุนทิศทางขาขึ้นอย่างชัดเจน Money Flow ยังไหลเข้าอย่างต่อเนื่อง และเราเห็นโครงสร้างตลาดแบบ Dow Theory ที่ยก High ยก Low ขึ้นไปเรื่อยๆ ค่ะ
อย่างไรก็ตาม... ใน Timeframe สั้นๆ อย่าง 15m และ 1H เริ่มเห็นสัญญาณของการชะลอตัวและการพักฐานบ้างแล้วค่ะ 📉 อาจมีการสร้าง Buyside และ Sellside Liquidity รอให้ราคาไปกวาดก่อนที่จะเลือกทางใดทางหนึ่ง ซึ่งเป็นเรื่องปกติของการเดินทางของ Smart Money ค่ะ
⚡ เปรียบเทียบแนวโน้มแต่ละ Timeframe ⚡
🪙 แนวโน้มตรงกัน Timeframe 4H, Day, Week ส่วนใหญ่ชี้ไปทาง "ขาขึ้น" ค่ะ ทุกเครื่องมือสนับสนุนแนวโน้มนี้อย่างแข็งแกร่ง 💪 เป้าหมายต่อไปคือการไปทดสอบ PWH และ High เดิม เพื่อสร้าง All-Time High ใหม่ค่ะ! 🪙 แนวโน้มต่างกัน Timeframe 15m, 1H ยังค่อนข้าง "Sideways" หรือ "Sideways Down เล็กน้อย" ค่ะ มีการบีบตัวของราคาและอาจมีการพักฐานสั้นๆ ซึ่งเป็นโอกาสในการหาจังหวะเข้า Long ที่ราคาดีขึ้นค่ะ
💡 วิธีคิดแบบ Market Slayer 💡
เมื่อแนวโน้มใหญ่เป็นขาขึ้นที่แข็งแกร่ง เราจะเน้นหาจังหวะเข้า Long เป็นหลักค่ะ การย่อตัวลงมาในระยะสั้นคือโอกาสของเราในการเก็บของ! 🛍️ เราจะใช้หลักการ SMC/ICT หาโซน Demand หรือ Order Block ที่ Smart Money อาจจะเข้ามาดันราคาขึ้น และรอสัญญาณ Price Action ยืนยันการกลับตัวค่ะ
สรุปแนวโน้มวันนี้:
🪙 ระยะสั้น: Sideways to Sideways Down (โอกาส 55%) ↔️↘️ 🪙 ระยะกลาง: ขาขึ้น (โอกาส 70%) ↗️ 🪙 ระยะยาว: ขาขึ้น (โอกาส 85%) 🚀 🪙 วันนี้: มีโอกาสย่อตัวเล็กน้อยก่อนจะมีแรงซื้อกลับเข้ามาเพื่อไปทดสอบ PWH (โอกาส Sideways Down เล็กน้อย สลับกับ Sideways Up: 60%) 🎢

2025-05-13 17:44:48The Dhamma of the Buddha is not merely a concept or philosophical hypothesis. It is the direct seeing of the truth — that suffering truly exists within us, and that it can genuinely be ended — through observing, with wisdom, not by calculation or blind belief.
Suffering is not an abstract idea; it is a real experience we can feel. When we truly understand suffering by facing it directly — not running from it or deceiving ourselves — we will see that the sense of “self” is the root of suffering. Every time the feeling of “this is me, this is mine” arises — suffering follows.
The solution is not in argument or debate, but in taking action to see and know this truth for ourselves.
Thus, Dhamma is the science of the mind — not just a philosophy. And this is why the Buddha’s teachings have never become outdated, even after more than 2,500 years.

2025-05-09 23:10:14I. Historical Foundations of U.S. Monetary Architecture
The early monetary system of the United States was built atop inherited commodity money conventions from Europe’s maritime economies. Silver and gold coins—primarily Spanish pieces of eight, Dutch guilders, and other foreign specie—formed the basis of colonial commerce. These units were already integrated into international trade and piracy networks and functioned with natural compatibility across England, France, Spain, and Denmark. Lacking a centralized mint or formal currency, the U.S. adopted these forms de facto.
As security risks and the practical constraints of physical coinage mounted, banks emerged to warehouse specie and issue redeemable certificates. These certificates evolved into fiduciary media—claims on specie not actually in hand. Banks observed over time that substantial portions of reserves remained unclaimed for years. This enabled fractional reserve banking: issuing more claims than reserves held, so long as redemption demand stayed low. The practice was inherently unstable, prone to panics and bank runs, prompting eventual centralization through the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
Following the Civil War and unstable reinstatements of gold convertibility, the U.S. sought global monetary stability. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system formalized the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. The dollar was nominally backed by gold, but most international dollars were held offshore and recycled into U.S. Treasuries. The Nixon Shock of 1971 eliminated the gold peg, converting the dollar into pure fiat. Yet offshore dollar demand remained, sustained by oil trade mandates and the unique role of Treasuries as global reserve assets.
II. The Structure of Fiduciary Media and Treasury Demand
Under this system, foreign trade surpluses with the U.S. generate excess dollars. These surplus dollars are parked in U.S. Treasuries, thereby recycling trade imbalances into U.S. fiscal liquidity. While technically loans to the U.S. government, these purchases act like interest-only transfers—governments receive yield, and the U.S. receives spendable liquidity without principal repayment due in the short term. Debt is perpetually rolled over, rarely extinguished.
This creates an illusion of global subsidy: U.S. deficits are financed via foreign capital inflows that, in practice, function more like financial tribute systems than conventional debt markets. The underlying asset—U.S. Treasury debt—functions as the base reserve asset of the dollar system, replacing gold in post-Bretton Woods monetary logic.
III. Emergence of Tether and the Parastatal Dollar
Tether (USDT), as a private issuer of dollar-denominated tokens, mimics key central bank behaviors while operating outside the regulatory perimeter. It mints tokens allegedly backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars or dollar-denominated securities (mostly Treasuries). These tokens circulate globally, often in jurisdictions with limited banking access, and increasingly serve as synthetic dollar substitutes.
If USDT gains dominance as the preferred medium of exchange—due to technological advantages, speed, programmability, or access—it displaces Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) not through devaluation, but through functional obsolescence. Gresham’s Law inverts: good money (more liquid, programmable, globally transferable USDT) displaces bad (FRNs) even if both maintain a nominal 1:1 parity.
Over time, this preference translates to a systemic demand shift. Actors increasingly use Tether instead of FRNs, especially in global commerce, digital marketplaces, or decentralized finance. Tether tokens effectively become shadow base money.
IV. Interaction with Commercial Banking and Redemption Mechanics
Under traditional fractional reserve systems, commercial banks issue loans denominated in U.S. dollars, expanding the money supply. When borrowers repay loans, this destroys the created dollars and contracts monetary elasticity. If borrowers repay in USDT instead of FRNs:
- Banks receive a non-Fed liability (USDT).
- USDT is not recognized as reserve-eligible within the Federal Reserve System.
- Banks must either redeem USDT for FRNs, or demand par-value conversion from Tether to settle reserve requirements and balance their books.
This places redemption pressure on Tether and threatens its 1:1 peg under stress. If redemption latency, friction, or cost arises, USDT’s equivalence to FRNs is compromised. Conversely, if banks are permitted or compelled to hold USDT as reserve or regulatory capital, Tether becomes a de facto reserve issuer.
In this scenario, banks may begin demanding loans in USDT, mirroring borrower behavior. For this to occur sustainably, banks must secure Tether liquidity. This creates two options: - Purchase USDT from Tether or on the secondary market, collateralized by existing fiat. - Borrow USDT directly from Tether, using bank-issued debt as collateral.
The latter mirrors Federal Reserve discount window operations. Tether becomes a lender of first resort, providing monetary elasticity to the banking system by creating new tokens against promissory assets—exactly how central banks function.
V. Structural Consequences: Parallel Central Banking
If Tether begins lending to commercial banks, issuing tokens backed by bank notes or collateralized debt obligations: - Tether controls the expansion of broad money through credit issuance. - Its balance sheet mimics a central bank, with Treasuries and bank debt as assets and tokens as liabilities. - It intermediates between sovereign debt and global liquidity demand, replacing the Federal Reserve’s open market operations with its own issuance-redemption cycles.
Simultaneously, if Tether purchases U.S. Treasuries with FRNs received through token issuance, it: - Supplies the Treasury with new liquidity (via bond purchases). - Collects yield on government debt. - Issues a parallel form of U.S. dollars that never require redemption—an interest-only loan to the U.S. government from a non-sovereign entity.
In this context, Tether performs monetary functions of both a central bank and a sovereign wealth fund, without political accountability or regulatory transparency.
VI. Endgame: Institutional Inversion and Fed Redundancy
This paradigm represents an institutional inversion:
- The Federal Reserve becomes a legacy issuer.
- Tether becomes the operational base money provider in both retail and interbank contexts.
- Treasuries remain the foundational reserve asset, but access to them is mediated by a private intermediary.
- The dollar persists, but its issuer changes. The State becomes a fiscal agent of a decentralized financial ecosystem, not its monetary sovereign.
Unless the Federal Reserve reasserts control—either by absorbing Tether, outlawing its instruments, or integrating its tokens into the reserve framework—it risks becoming irrelevant in the daily function of money.
Tether, in this configuration, is no longer a derivative of the dollar—it is the dollar, just one level removed from sovereign control. The future of monetary sovereignty under such a regime is post-national and platform-mediated.

2025-05-13 16:47:48(Textículo em prosa erudita sobre a Ideologia Anarco-Capitalista-Cristã)
https://davipinheiro.com/01-escravos-da-cara-inchada/
A cultura #Woke apropriou-se da imagem sobre a #escravidão. Quando uma pessoa aculturada imagina um #escravo, vem em sua mente a imagem de um ser humano negro, magro e flagelado. Para quem enxerga além das cortinas da mentira, vem em sua mente a imagem de um ser humano de qualquer etnia, gordo e doente.
Democracia, péssimo regime de governo assim classificado pelo seu próprio idealizador: Platão em A República, é o grito da hienas de dentes arreganhados para ampliação do regime escravocrata fomentado pelos #GlobalistasSatanistas.
Um escravo da cara inchada é todo aquele ser humano ignorante inconsciente que alimenta esse sistema em troca de intoxicantes como flúor¹, cloro, glutamato monosódico, gordura trans, corantes, conservantes, refrigerantes, bebidas alcoólicas, psicotrópicos e remédios sintomáticos, tudo embrulhado com mentiras reiteradas.
Como consequência, após os 18 anos de idade o corpo do #EscravoDaCaraInchada sucumbe à tamanha intoxicação e passa a inchar, sendo fisicamente perceptível sua condição de escravo da cara inchada tanto à olho nú quando por reconhecimento facial de qualquer pseudo inteligência artificial.
O círculo vicioso da #EscravidaoDemocratica é tão simples e tosco como o “pão e circo romano”, Mesmo assim é muito difícil para o escravo da cara inchada perceber a própria condição tamanha é sua intoxicação física e mental.
Se um Anarco-Capitalista-Cristão (#Ancapcristão) chega para um escravo da cara inchada e explica sobre esses intoxicantes como instrumento de escravização, dificilmente o escravo da cara inchada irá acreditar pois diferentemente do antigo e aposentado chicote, o novo instrumento da escravidão não dói de imediato e os próprios efeitos da intoxicação impedem-no de raciocinar com clareza.
Portanto, para que os #GlobalistasSatanistas obtivessem sucesso na democratização da escravidão, tiveram que criar um chicote químico e uma ideologia favorável. Quanto às etapas utilizadas para formação dessa ideologia no inconsciente coletivo passo a elencar as 6 grandes mentiras em ordem cronológica:
(1ª etapa) Iluminismo: distanciamento de #Deus e seus ensinamentos, criação de sociedades secretas, exacerbação do ser humano perante o criador na tentativa de projetar o ser humano como seu próprio deus, tornando-o responsável sobre os rumos naturais do planeta. Assim formou-se a base ideológica para o materialismo, ambientalismo, feminismo, controle populacional e ideologia de gêneros;
(2ª etapa) Materialismo: perda do propósito espiritual e do sentido da vida², o que passa a importar são apenas as coisas materiais, acima inclusive do próprio ser humano. A perpetuação da espécie também fica em segundo plano. Assim formou-se a base ideológica para o ambientalismo, feminismo, controle populacional e ideologia de gêneros;
(3ª etapa) Ambientalismo: redução do ser humano à mero câncer do planeta superlotado, atribuído-lhe a responsabilidade por qualquer desastre natural. Assim formou-se a base ideológica para o controle populacional e ideologia de gêneros;
(4ª etapa) Feminismo: enfraquecimento do ser humano por meio da sua divisão em duas categorias: macho e fêmea, os quais são inimigos e não cooperadores. A ideia de igualdade de gêneros é tão antagônica que beira ao conflito cognitivo³: Eles querem separar para dizer que são iguais... Ora, como não pode haver diferenças entre os gêneros se eles são fisicamente e mentalmente diferentes? Nesse diapasão, mesmo não sendo os estados nacionais os arquitetos da escravidão democrática e sim meros fantoches dos globalistas satanistas, o voto feminino foi fundamental para aprovação de leis misândricas com o fito de acelerar a destruição da base familiar do escravo da cara inchada. Importante mencionar que a base familiar dos globalistas satanistas continua sendo patriarcal. Assim formou-se a base ideológica para o controle populacional e ideologia de gêneros;
(5ª etapa) Controle Populacional: “Crescei e multiplicai-vos” é o caralho, Deus não sabe de nada (Iluminismo), o que importa é o dinheiro e filho é caro (Materialismo), para que colocar mais um ser humano nesse planeta doente e superlotado (Ambientalismo), além disso o sexo oposto é meu inimigo (Feminismo). Essa é base ideológica que antecede a ideologia de Controle Populacional, ainda reforçada pela apologia à castração, já que em todas as mídias produzidas com patrocínio oculto de capital globalista satanista tentam normalizar a castração do homem (perda da capacidade de reprodução) desde em desenhos infantis até grandes produções cinematográficas, ora em tom de humor ora em tom de tortura. Assim os escravos da cara inchada do sexo masculino perderam sua identidade, essência e desejo de ser o que são, formando-se a base ideológica para o homossexualismo, ou seja, para a ideologia de gêneros.
(6ª etapa) Ideologia de Gêneros: É a cereja do bolo para os planos do Diabo (Anjo invejoso de Deus que quer destruir a maior criação: nós). Enquanto os globalistas satanistas, dentro de sua sábia ignorância, acreditam estarem chefiando a democratização da escravidão, na verdade também não passam de meros fantoches do Anjo Caído. Com a sexta e última etapa de mentiras para extinção da humanidade (#apocalipse) posta em prática através da Ideologia de Gêneros, fecha-se o ciclo vicioso de mentiras que se auto justificam: Se #Deus não presta, o que vale são os bens materiais, o ser humano é um câncer no planeta, o sexo oposto é inimigo e ter filhos é uma péssima ideia e ser homem másculo é crime, então ser #homossexual é a melhor opção, inclusive vamos castrar os meninos antes da puberdade sem o consentimento dos pais ou mães solo. Aqui também há uma grande bifurcação do círculo vicioso de mentiras, qual seja o gritante conflito cognitivo³: Se todos os homens deixarem de ser másculos, quem vai comer os #gays afeminados? Ou se todas as mulheres deixarem de ser femininas, quem as #sapatonas irão comer? E o pior, se todos passem a ser homossexuais quem vai perpetuar a espécie? Seremos extintos no lapso temporal de apenas uma geração, pois a fraudulenta medicina moderna jamais terá a capacidade de gerar bebês de chocadeira à tempo.
É interessante enxergar que mesmo os Globalistas Satanistas, dentro de sua sábia ignorância, acreditando estarem democratizando a escravidão em benefício próprio, na verdade apenas estão fomentando o apocalipse, ou seja sua própria extinção. Também não terão qualquer lugar especial no inferno, sinônimo de mal é mentira. Portanto os #GlobalistaSatanistas são meros fantoches do #Diabo enganador, tão submissos quanto o Escravo da Cara Inchada…
Interessante também enxergar que o livre arbítrio é uma condição obrigatória para independência da criação (anjo e ser humano). Todos somos livres para escolher entre o bem e o mal, se iremos ser escravos de #Deus ou escravos do Diabo. Se assim não fosse, inexistiria criação pois seríamos mera extensão da consciência do #Criador, em outras palavras: para que exista uma criação, essa deve ter a capacidade de decisão de forma independente, o chamado livre arbítrio.
Com base nisso, temos que não cabe à nos fazer qualquer revolução, tudo está normal, a luta entre o bem e o mal sempre irá existir pois um não existe sem o outro. Nos cabe apenas escolher o lado. Nesse contexto, tenho a seguinte mensagem destinada à você para encerrar o presente Textículo Anarco-Capitalista-Cristão:
------ > Se você for um ANARCO-CAPITALISTA-CRISTÃO passe esta palavra à diante para que a verdade atinja o maior número de ignorantes inconscientes possível;
------ > Se você for um GLOBALISTA SATANISTA, vai viver sua vida, desfrutar da própria fortuna e pare de ser fantoche o Diabo, mentiram para você: não terá qualquer lugar especial quando morrer;
------ > Se você for um ESCRAVO DA CARA INCHADA e não entendeu o que eu disse, por favor me pergunte ou debata comigo, terei o prazer em lhe ajudar a enxergar a verdade. Pare de trabalhar por dinheiro fiduciário, passe a aceitar #Monero e #Bitcoin em troca do seu trabalho, pois isso é o único jeito de sermos financeiramente livres, se tiver alguma dúvida sobre #criptomoedas me pergunte e terei o prazer e ensinar. Se ainda assim você se recusa a enxergar a verdade exposta aqui, por favor aceite #Monero e #Bitcoin quando for dar o seu cú. Ou melhor, cometa suicídio, já que você é um câncer no planeta, salve a natureza.

@ d61f3bc5:0da6ef4a
2025-05-13 16:03:48What happens when you integrate a Nostr client with a bitcoin lightning wallet? They both get massively better! Social interactions benefit from seamless micropayments, while the wallet is able to tap into the massive address book represented by the Nostr social graph. This makes it possible to interact with people around the world in totally new ways. For example, Markus from Germany can zap a note posted by Isabella in Costa Rica, who can then buy a coffee with those sats, all from the same app.
At Primal, our goal is to deliver products that have mass appeal; products that can be easily used by anyone. Our latest iOS release represents our best take on how to build on open protocols and balance the tradeoffs between user sovereignty, user experience and ease of use. We believe that Nostr and Bitcoin will grow to billions of users, and we are building the technology that will help onboard and delight everyone.
Nostr Onboarding
Our goal is to achieve the highest level of user experience on a decentralized network, without sacrificing user sovereignty over their account, connections, and content. Therefore the onboarding process needs to be smooth and resemble what users are used to on legacy platforms, while providing access to their Nostr keys:
The user is able to sign up and start using Nostr quickly and without friction. Their key is available in the Account Settings, providing complete control over their Nostr account. In addition, the user can specify the set of Nostr relays they wish to publish to. The Primal iOS app signs all content with the user’s key and publishes it directly to the specified set of relays. This achieves full user control over their Nostr account, social connections, and the content they publish.
Performance & UX
In order to compete with the centralized legacy platforms, we must match and exceed their level of user experience. Interfaces must load quickly and completely, otherwise people will lose interest and Nostr will see a high degree of user churn. With this in mind, we built the Nostr caching service, and open sourced it so that other Nostr developers can leverage it as well. This enables us to provide the types of user experiences that are expected by most people today:
For details about our caching approach please refer to my Nostrasia presentation.
Primal Wallet
We are psyched to introduce Primal Wallet, an insanely easy-to-use transactional wallet, ideal for holding small amounts of bitcoin and making payments on the lightning network.
Strike is providing custody, fiat conversions, and lightning network connectivity to Primal users. By integrating with Strike, we are able to provide uninterrupted service to U.S. and international customers.
Smooth onboarding and wallet operation are essential for our use case. Given that we are dealing with very small amounts, we decided to take the custodial approach. This sacrifices direct user custody over the funds, but makes the overall UX seamless and reliable. New users are able to send and receive sats as soon as they download the app.
Here are a few additional points to keep in mind:
-
\In-App Purchases\: Once the wallet is activated, it is fully-operational and able to receive sats. If the user doesn’t own any sats, they are able to buy small amounts via an in-app purchase, in $5 increments. Note that these purchases are subject to “Apple tax” (15% in U.S. and Canada, 30% elsewhere, for customers with iOS devices), plus 1% Strike margin. Primal does not make any revenue on these purchases. Users can always buy sats through a different method and send them to their Primal Wallet. The in-app purchase is merely a convenient way for new users to get started with small amounts.
-
\Maximum Wallet Balance\: Primal Wallet is designed for holding and transacting with small amounts of bitcoin. Larger amounts should be kept in self custody, preferably on a hardware wallet. To encourage self custody for larger amounts, we are enforcing a maximum wallet balance of 1,000,000 sats (approximately USD $400 at the time of this writing).
We believe that Primal Wallet offers the best tradeoff balance for our use case, including social media zaps, and small purchases: coffee, beer, lunch, etc. We are planning to expand the feature set of the wallet in the upcoming releases, based on the feedback from our users.
Open Networks Win
Nostr is an open network, not controlled by any person, company, nor organization. Anyone can join without asking for permission, and any developer is free to build on it. In a short amount of time, hundreds of projects have sprouted building on Nostr, including: Damus, Amethyst, Snort, Highlighter, Alby, Nos, Mutiny, Coracle, ZBD, Fountain, Habla.news, Plebstr, Spring, Iris, Nostrgram, Current, Blogstack, Zap.stream, Listr, Nostr.band, Nostr.build, Flycat, Nosta.me, NoStrudel, Nostur, Nostore, Zaplife, Wavlake, and many more.
Your Nostr keys work with Primal, as well as every other app in the Nostr ecosystem. You can seamlessly use your Nostr identity in social media apps, blog/news sites, marketplaces, etc. Every Nostr product brings more users and more gravity to the entire network. This is why we believe that Nostr will eventually connect everybody.
If you are not satisfied with the status quo dictated by the legacy media complex, if you think that the global town square should not be owned by anyone, if you feel that people should be in control over their online identity, social connections, and the content they publish - you do have a choice. Join us on Nostr. 🤙💜

The first part of our exploration into the “New Music Economy” focused on Bitcoin’s potential to redefine how artists and fans exchange value. In this follow-up, we dive into the current state of the music industry—an ecosystem riddled with legal battles, power struggles, and technological disruptions.
From lawsuits involving AI-generated music to accusations of collusion between major labels and streaming platforms, these challenges highlight the flaws of the traditional system. A Bitcoin-powered New Music Economy doesn’t just offer an alternative—it may eventually be the solution the industry desperately needs.
The Legal Challenges Shaking the Music Industry
The music industry is no stranger to legal disputes, but recent cases reveal deeper systemic issues, highlighting the need for a foundational rethink of its economic and operational models. Let’s break down some of the most significant battles:
- Drake vs. Universal Music Group and Spotify In late 2024, Drake filed lawsuits against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify, alleging they artificially inflated the streams of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us. He accused UMG of using bots and engaging in pay-to-play schemes, distorting the competitive landscape and causing him financial harm.
- Record Labels vs. AI Music Companies Major labels such as Sony Music, UMG, and Warner Records have launched lawsuits against AI startups like Suno and Udio. These companies allegedly trained their AI models using copyrighted songs without permission, generating content that is directly competing with human artists.
- Artists’ Lawsuit Over Streaming Revenue Transparency In an ongoing class-action lawsuit, artists are demanding greater transparency from streaming platforms like Spotify, accusing them of underreporting streams and withholding royalties.
- The Copyright Battle Over AI-Generated Drake and The Weeknd Song Earlier in 2024, an AI-generated song mimicking Drake and The Weeknd went viral. Universal Music Group sought to have it removed from platforms, citing copyright infringement, but the case has sparked debate about whether AI-generated works fall under current copyright laws.
- Streaming Payout Inequities for Independent Artists Independent musicians continue to push back against low streaming payouts. Platforms like Spotify pay fractions of a penny per stream, leading to widespread frustration and calls for systemic reform.
Copyright Challenges in Blockchain-Based Platforms
While blockchain offers revolutionary benefits for transparency and fair royalties, it also introduces copyright challenges. A prominent example is Audius, a decentralised music streaming platform aiming to empower artists by removing intermediaries. Despite its innovative approach, Audius has faced significant copyright infringement issues.
Key Copyright Challenges:
Irremovability of Content: Once data is recorded on a blockchain, it becomes difficult to alter or remove, which complicates the elimination of infringing material.
Decentralised Control: With no central authority,enforcing copyright compliance is challenging, as responsibilities are distributed across the network.
Addressing Copyright in Blockchain Music:
Advanced Content Identification Systems: Integrating tools that detect and block unauthorised uploads can prevent copyright violations proactively.
Collaborative Efforts with Rights Holders: Engaging directly with artists and labels fosters trust and reduces disputes.
Robust Copyright Policies: Clear rules and enforcement mechanisms ensure compliance while promoting innovation.
Distribution Challenges and Niche Crowds
One of the most pressing concerns for Bitcoin-powered music platforms is their niche audience. Compared to major platforms like Spotify or Apple Music, Bitcoin-based platforms often attract smaller, more targeted communities. This can create challenges in distribution and reach, as artists may find it difficult to achieve visibility or access millions of listeners.
Why the Niche Approach Works
-
Dedicated Fans: Smaller, focused communities often have higher engagement rates. Fans on Bitcoin-powered platforms actively choose to support artists rather than passively streaming.
-
Revenue Transparency: With Bitcoin, artists retain control over their earnings, avoiding the opaque systems of major platforms.
-
Early Adoption Opportunities: As Bitcoin-powered platforms grow, early adopters gain a competitive edge, establishing themselves within a loyal community.
How Bitcoin Addresses Industry Issues
A Bitcoin-powered New Music Economy offers solutions to these systemic problems:
-
Transparent and Automated Royalties With Bitcoin smart contracts, royalty payments can be automated, transparent, and instant.
-
Immutable Ownership Records Blockchain can securely record ownership and licensing information, reducing disputes over intellectual property and providing clear attribution, even for AI-generated content.
-
Global Accessibility and Fair Compensation Bitcoin’s decentralised nature enables artists worldwide to receive payments directly from fans, bypassing traditional financial barriers.
-
Decentralised Platforms Building music distribution platforms on the blockchain can eliminate centralised control, reducing the risk of manipulation and ensuring artists maintain ownership of their content and revenue streams.
-
Equitable AI Content Compensation When AI tools use songs for training, those works can be identified through their blockchain registrations. Bitcoin smart contracts could automatically pay royalties to original creators whenever their work contributes to an AI-generated song.
To demonstrate just a fraction of the possibilities, platforms like Audionals.com, founded by Jim Crane, are actively developing ways to use Bitcoin’s blockchain to decentralise music creation, rights management, and distribution. By exploring how detailed metadata and audio data can be inscribed onto Bitcoin, Audionals is working toward solutions that allow for precise and transparent ownership and royalty tracking. While still in progress, it highlights how blockchain technology could enable a more efficient and artist-focused music economy.
For further insights on how Audionals works, check out this interview with Jim Crane.
A Real Economy, Not Just an Ecosystem
The current wave of lawsuits, technological disruption, and artist frustration shows that the music industry is ripe for change. Bitcoin offers more than just a payment system—it provides a decentralised, censorship-resistant infrastructure capable of fostering true ownership, transparency, and equitable participation in the music economy.
By addressing both the promises and challenges of blockchain, platforms like Audius highlight the complexities of this shift. From royalty transparency to AI copyright disputes, Bitcoin isn’t just a tool; it’s a blueprint for the real New Music Economy. The question now is whether the industry is ready to embrace it, or whether independent artists and fans will lead the way.

2025-05-13 15:59:04Hulladékgazdálkodás – 2025. május 13. | Írta: David Dalton
A francia nukleáris hulladéktároló projekt akár 37 milliárd euróba is kerülhet, közölte az Andra
Franciaország mélygeológiai tároló projektje várhatóan 26 milliárd euró (28,9 milliárd dollár) és 37,5 milliárd euró között fog kerülni – közölte a nemzeti nukleáris hulladékügynökség, az Andra május 12-én, ami magasabb a korábbi, mintegy 25 milliárd eurós becslésnél.
A Cigéo nevű projekt Franciaország központi létesítménye lesz a nukleáris erőművekből és egyéb reaktor létesítményekből származó nagy aktivitású radioaktív hulladék hosszú távú tárolására.
Az Andra szerint az ipari minisztérium rendelete várhatóan az év végéig véglegesíti a költségeket, amelyek referenciaként szolgálnak majd a következő felülvizsgálatig. Mind a költségek, mind a helyszín további felülvizsgálatok elé néznek, legkésőbb 2026 végéig.
Az építkezés 2027-ben kezdődhet, amennyiben a francia nukleáris biztonsági hatóság (ASN – Autorité de sûreté nucléaire) jóváhagyja a kérelmet, és az első hulladékcsomagokat 2050-ben fogadnák, a várható üzemidő pedig 100 év.
2023 júniusában az ASN elfogadta, és megkezdte az Andra által benyújtott Cigéo létesítmény építési kérelmének vizsgálatát.
A Cigéo a legmagasabb aktivitású, egyben leghosszabb élettartamú radioaktív hulladékok elhelyezésére szolgál egy mélygeológiai tárolóban, amely a Meuse és Haute-Marne megyék határán, Északkelet-Franciaországban található.
Jelenleg a világon sehol nem működik hosszú távú hulladéktároló létesítmény a polgári nukleáris energia programokból származó nagy aktivitású hulladék számára.
A Nemzetközi Atomenergia Ügynökség szerint Franciaország, Finnország és Svédország az a három ország, amely a legnagyobb előrelépést tette ilyen létesítmények üzembe helyezése felé.
A finnországi Onkalo tároló várhatóan a világ első működő mélygeológiai elhelyezési létesítménye lesz, teljes üzembe helyezése a 2020-as évek közepére várható.

Európa „aggályokat fogalmazott meg” a cseh–dél-koreai nukleáris megállapodással kapcsolatban
Az Európai Bizottság arra kérte a Cseh Köztársaságot, hogy halassza el a legalább 18 milliárd dollár (16,9 milliárd euró) értékű szerződés aláírását a dél-koreai Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) vállalattal új atomerőművek építésére, amíg kivizsgálják az esetleges külföldi támogatások felhasználását – közölte egy bizottsági szóvivő május 12-én a Reuters szerint.
A szóvivő elmondta, hogy Stephane Séjourné, az ipari stratégia biztosa egy levélben fejezte ki aggodalmát a dél-koreai pályázatot érintő külföldi támogatások szabályozásával kapcsolatban.
„Még nem tartunk ott, hogy mélyreható vizsgálatot indítanánk, és nem szeretném előre megjósolni, hogy eljutunk-e oda vagy sem” – mondta a szóvivő.
A cseh CTK hírügynökség idézte Petr Fiala cseh miniszterelnököt, aki szerint bár a levél a biztostól származik, az nem képviseli a Bizottság hivatalos álláspontját, és nincs kötelező érvénye.
Az Euractiv szerint egy bizottsági szóvivő újságíróknak május 12-én azt mondta, hogy Séjourné levele „semmiképpen sem kérte a folyamat leállítását”.
Az Euractiv szerint Séjourné levele azt írja, hogy a Bizottság vizsgálja, kapott-e a KHNP tiltott állami támogatást az EU-s szabályozás szerint, amikor elnyerte a két atomerőmű építésére kiírt tendert.
A reaktorprojektért felelős cseh vállalat, az Elektrarna Dukovany II (EDU II) közleményt adott ki, amelyben megvédte a kiválasztási folyamatot, és felszólította az EDF-et, hogy hozza nyilvánosságra a tenderben benyújtott ajánlatát.
Az EDU II, a cseh állami közműcég, a ČEZ leányvállalata kijelentette, hogy kész „teljes kártérítést követelni” és megvédeni a részvényesi értéket bármilyen peres eljárással szemben.
A közlemény szerint az illegális támogatásról szóló állítások „a sikertelen pályázó spekulációi”.
Dél-Korea és Csehország megerősítette elkötelezettségét az atomerőmű-szerződés aláírása mellett, annak ellenére, hogy egy bírósági döntés ideiglenesen elhalasztotta a szerződéskötést.
A sajtóhírek szerint a cseh kormány május 7-i ülésén kijelentette, hogy az EDU II a lehető leghamarabb folytatja a szerződéskötést a KHNP-vel két atomerőmű építésére.
A két új, nagy kapacitású APR1400 típusú reaktort a KHNP szállítja, és a csehországi Dukovany atomerőmű telephelyén építik fel.
Az eredetileg május 7-re tervezett szerződésaláírást elhalasztották, miután bírósági végzés született az EDF, a tenderen sikertelen pályázó jogi kifogása nyomán.

Izrael tervezi első kereskedelmi atomerőművét
Javaslatot fontolgatnak Izrael első kereskedelmi atomerőművének megépítésére Shivta közelében, az ország déli részén, bár kétségek merültek fel a helyi ellenállás és Izrael atomsorompó-szerződésen (NPT) kívüli státusza miatt.
Közel-keleti jelentések szerint a terveket a jövő héten vizsgálja meg a regionális tervezési és építési bizottság, amely a Negev-sivatagi térségben felépítendő létesítményért felelős.
A jelentések szerint a bizottság már „erős ellenállását” fejezte ki a tervvel szemben.
A nemzetközi aggályok középpontjában Izrael NPT-szerződésen kívüli státusza és az a tény áll, hogy nem fogadta el a Nemzetközi Atomenergia Ügynökség (IAEA) ellenőrzését néhány főbb nukleáris tevékenységére. Az NPT az IAEA felügyelete alatt biztosítja, hogy a nukleáris anyagokat és létesítményeket ne tereljék katonai célokra.
Izrael ugyan működtet kutatóreaktorokat, de nincs kereskedelmi atomerőműve. Az évek során többször is fontolgatta kereskedelmi atomerőművek építésének lehetőségét.
Az izraeli Ynet News szerint a javaslat számos megválaszolatlan kérdést vet fel, például hogy melyik ország építené meg az erőművet, tekintettel Izrael NPT-n kívüli státuszára. További aggályok a nukleáris üzemanyag forrására, a sivatagi klímában szükséges hűtőrendszerre, valamint a víz szállításának logisztikájára vonatkoznak.
A Ynet News szerint más lehetséges helyszíneket különböző okokból elvetettek, például a katonai repülőtér közelsége, geológiai vizsgálatok eredményei vagy a népsűrűség miatt.
Kutatás és fejlesztés – 2025. május 13. | Írta: David Dalton
Tajvani kutatási projekt nyithat utat fejlett atomerőművek előtt
A Tajvani Nemzeti Atomkutató Intézet (Nari) elindított egy 3,3 millió dolláros (2,9 millió eurós) kis moduláris reaktor (SMR) kutatási projektet, amely utat nyithat fejlett atomerőművek bevezetéséhez azon a szigeten, ahol hamarosan leállítják az összes régebbi, nagy kapacitású reaktort.
Az új nukleáris technológiák kutatása akkor kezdődött, amikor a kormány ezen a hétvégén véglegesen leállítja a Maanshan-2 atomerőművet Pingtung megyében, Dél-Tajvanon, teljesítve ígéretét, hogy Tajvant nukleárismentessé teszi.
Az SMR-eket a Nemzetközi Atomenergia Ügynökség 300 MW vagy annál kisebb kapacitásúnak definiálja, ami körülbelül egyharmada egy hagyományos atomerőmű teljesítményének. Moduláris kialakításuk lehetővé teszi a gyári előállítást és könnyebb telepítést a nagy atomerőművekhez képest. Az SMR-ek gyártói a moduláris alkatrészek tömeggyártásával kívánnak méretgazdaságosságot elérni.
2024 júliusában az állami tulajdonú atomerőmű tulajdonos és üzemeltető Taipower közölte, hogy leállította a Maanshan-1 atomerőművet, így az országban már csak egy reaktor, a Maanshan-2 maradt kereskedelmi üzemelésben.
A Maanshan-1, egy 936 MW-os nyomottvizes reaktor (PWR) leállítása közepette tovább folytatódik a törvényhozók vitája arról, hogy meghosszabbítsák-e a sziget nukleáris létesítményeinek élettartamát.
2023-ban a nukleáris energia Tajvan villamosenergia-termelésének mintegy 6,9%-át tette ki, amelyet főként szén és cseppfolyósított földgáz ural.
A Taipower szerint a Maanshan-1 leállításával a nukleáris forrásból származó áram aránya 2,8%-ra csökken.
Egy időben Tajvan hat reaktora az iparilag erősen fejlett sziget villamosenergia-termelésének több mint felét biztosította.
A Maanshan-1 1984 júliusában kezdte meg a kereskedelmi üzemet, és most járt le a 40 éves működési engedélye. A 938 MW-os Maanshan-2 várhatóan 2025. május 18-án, 40 év üzem után áll le.
„Nagyon nyitottak” az új nukleáris technológiára
Tavaly év végén Tajvan miniszterelnöke, Cho Jung-tai azt mondta, az ország „nagyon nyitott” az új nukleáris technológia alkalmazására, hogy kielégítse a chipgyártók növekvő áramigényét, akik az AI-robbanáshoz használnak villamos energiát.
„Amíg Tajvanon konszenzus van a nukleáris biztonságról, és jó irány és garancia van a hulladékkezelésre, ezzel az erős konszenzussal lefolytathatjuk a nyilvános vitát” – mondta Cho a Bloomberg Newsnak adott interjúban.
Megjegyzései az egyik legerősebb jelei annak, hogy a kormány újragondolja ellenállását a kereskedelmi atomerőművekkel szemben.
Cho vélhetően fejlett reaktorokra, köztük az SMR-ekre utalt, amelyeket számos országban fejlesztenek.

@ 86d4591f:a987c633
2025-05-13 14:15:28Libertarianism presents itself as the philosophical champion of liberty. Its premise is seductively simple: minimize state interference, maximize individual freedom. Property rights become sacrosanct, markets are held as the purest expression of voluntary exchange, and the role of governance is reduced to little more than a referee.
But the reality of liberty is far less accommodating to such minimalism.
The trouble lies not in the desire for freedom, but in the shallow map libertarianism draws of the terrain. Its cartography focuses obsessively on the boundaries—where the state ends and the individual begins—while neglecting the hidden infrastructures beneath. This blind spot renders it ill-equipped to grapple with the actual systems that govern human freedom in practice.
Liberty is Not Found in the Margins
Liberty is often framed as a negative space: freedom from coercion, interference, or centralized control. Yet this definition presumes a level playing field, where the absence of external force guarantees the flourishing of personal agency.
But what if the constraints on liberty are not imposed overtly, but arise from the very systems we navigate daily?
Consider money—not as coin or token, but as a networked system of credit, collateral, and trust. When these systems are opaque, governed by unaccountable intermediaries, or prone to systemic dysfunction, the freedom to transact becomes illusory. One may own property, but ownership is hollow if liquidity dries up, credit evaporates, or markets seize beneath unseen fractures.
Libertarian frameworks often ignore these subterranean forces. They champion free markets while remaining blind to the fact that markets themselves rest on infrastructural scaffolding—often beyond democratic oversight or public comprehension.
The Primacy of Systems, Not Slogans
Freedom is not merely a function of rights. It is an emergent property of robust, transparent, and well-aligned systems. These systems—monetary, informational, technological—shape the conditions under which liberty can be exercised.
When protocols are fragile, intermediaries unaccountable, or information flows asymmetrical, individuals are subject to manipulation, exclusion, and systemic coercion—even in the absence of overt state interference.
In such an environment, slogans about personal responsibility and market freedom ring hollow. Liberty does not thrive in vacuum-sealed ideology. It requires deliberate, often complex, systems design that prioritizes neutrality, resilience, and verifiability.
The architecture of freedom must be engineered, not merely declared.
The Hidden Terrain of Power
One of the most persistent illusions is that power resides solely in visible institutions: governments, central banks, regulatory bodies. Yet much of the real leverage over individual agency lies in shadow systems—networks of private credit creation, opaque collateral chains, algorithmic information flows, and surveillance architectures.
Liberty falters when these systems operate without transparency or accountability. And herein lies libertarianism’s central failure: an inability to recognize that decentralizing power requires more than deregulating government. It demands the cultivation of systems where trust is minimized by design, not by rhetorical fiat.
This is not an argument for more state control. Rather, it is a call for infrastructural clarity—for systems where the rules are visible, the incentives aligned, and no actor, public or private, holds disproportionate informational or structural advantage.
Liberty as a Systems Condition
To be genuinely pro-liberty is to engage in the difficult, often thankless task of systems cartography. It means mapping not just the borders of state power, but the flows of credit, information, and influence that shape real-world freedom.
Liberty is not a given. It is not protected by slogans, nor guaranteed by ownership in a vacuum. It is a condition that must be continually cultivated through the architecture of systems that underpin social, economic, and informational life.
Libertarianism’s map, while well-intentioned, is incomplete. It charts the edges while ignoring the plumbing beneath.

2025-05-13 13:05:44True freedom is not only physical or financial—it also exists within the mind. Mental freedom is the ability to think clearly, make decisions without fear or doubt, and live without the constraints of limiting beliefs. It is the power to embrace your thoughts, control your emotions, and act with purpose.
What Is Mental Freedom?
Mental freedom is the state of mind where you are not held back by fear, anxiety, or self-doubt. It means breaking free from the mental barriers that keep you from living life to the fullest. When you achieve mental freedom, you are able to pursue your dreams with confidence, respond to challenges with resilience, and find peace in the present moment.
Steps to Achieving Mental Freedom
-
Identify Limiting Beliefs: Understand the thoughts that hold you back and challenge their validity.
-
Practice Mindfulness: Be present in the moment and aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
-
Let Go of Perfectionism: Accept that mistakes are part of growth and learning.
-
Cultivate Positive Thinking: Focus on possibilities and solutions rather than obstacles.
-
Build Resilience: Strengthen your mental capacity to recover from setbacks.
The Importance of Mental Freedom
Achieving mental freedom allows you to live authentically and pursue your goals without hesitation. It empowers you to face challenges head-on, embrace change, and navigate life with confidence and clarity. Without mental freedom, fear and doubt can cloud your judgment and limit your potential.
Breaking Free
Mental freedom is a journey, not a destination. It requires ongoing self-awareness, self-acceptance, and growth. By taking deliberate steps to free your mind from limiting thoughts, you open the door to endless possibilities.
“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” — John Milton
Choose to be free. Choose to be limitless.

You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier
Reading Jaron Lanier’s 2010 You Are Not A Gadget in 2023 is an interesting experience—equal parts withering, prophetic, and heretical clarion call warning from a high priest of the Technocracy and rambling, musing, cognitive jam session from a technofied musician-philosopher.
Yet, in ways that I think the author would be simultaneously pleased, amused, saddened, and disturbed by, the 13 yeas since the book’s publishing have, in places, proven him right with stunning foresight and precision, and in others, made his ideas appear laughable, bizarre, even naive. The book is written in five parts, yet I would suggest viewing it as two discrete elements—Part One (around the first half of the book) and…everything else.
For context, Lanier, is a computer scientist and early technologist from the area of Jobs, Wozniak, and Gates, and is considered to be a founding father of virtual reality. He is also a consummate contrarian, a player of rare and obscure musical instruments, a deep interdisciplinary thinker…and a white man with dreadlocks named Jaron.
PART ONE
Part One of the book “What is a Person?” reads like a scathing and clear-eye manifesto—where Lanier is batting 1000, merciless in his rightness. Were one to pull a passage that speaks to the soul of this portion of the book, it might be the following: “The net does not design itself. We design it.”
Lanier terms the prevailing technocratic ideology—the particular winning tech-nerd subculture that has now come to capture our society—as “the cybernetic totalist” or “digital Maoists.” Essentially a materialist and stealth collectivist movement in new-age technocratic dress, that through its successes, and now excesses, represents much the same of religion that it’s founders would have claimed to be “evolving past.”
Lanier points out that in this, we are simply trading the pursuit of finding God in spirituality or the afterlife, for a notion of digital immortality—seeking, or, if possible, becoming, God in the cloud. He aptly identifies that this worldview requires that society, and all human interactions really, be savagely bent into adherence to this new religion of aggregation that demands deification of data, gross diminishment of the individual, and belief in some objective (but never defined) "meaning" that exists beyond and apart from the human observer.
With skill and simple wit, he raises strong, rational counterpoint to the digital Maoists’ obsession with quantity, data in aggregate and at-scale, as society's prime directive “A fashionable idea in technical circles is that quantity […] turns into quality at some extreme scale […] I disagree. A trope in the early days or computer science comes to mind: garbage in, garbage out.”
Lanier is able to envision the digital cages that likes of Facebook, Youtube, social-media dating apps would become for the internet native generations. Of whom he writes “The most effective young Facebook users […] are the ones who create successful online fictions about themselves,” and “If you start out by being fake, you’ll eventually have to put in twice the effort to undo the illusion if anything good is to come of it.”
Lanier’s 2010 criticism of Wikipedia-ism is now double or triply apropos in our current hype cycle of “AI magic” and Everything-GPT, “Wikipedia, for instance, works on what I can the Oracle Illusion, in which knowledge of human authorship of a text is suppressed in order to give the text superhuman validity. Traditional holy books work in precisely the same way and present many of the same problems.” This same deep truth now sits at the heart of every “new” creation churned out by the flavor-of-the-week, plagiarism-at-scale, generative AI tool.
More darkly, he is also able to foresee the spectre of a return to collectivism lurking both at the core and on the margins of our new digital age—“The recipe that led to social catastrophe in the past was economic humiliation combined with collectivist ideology. We already have the ideology in its new digital packaging, and it’s entirely possible we could face dangerously traumatic economic shock in the coming decades.”—“No Shit” said everyone who lived through 2020-2022…
This brings us, eerily, to the world of today. Where aggregate insights are upheld as more valuable than discrete insights. Where crowds are are assumed to have more wisdom than individuals. Where truth is twisted into a might-is-right numbers game. A world ruled by the idea that if we can just centralize enough information and sufficiently pulverize authorship, the result will, necessarily, be something super-intelligent, "alive," and perhaps even divine.
In short, the cybernetic totalists and digital Maoists, having killed reason, now sit on its corpse like a thrown, smearing its blood on the walls in the name of art and reading its still-steaming entrails for prophecy.
If I were to infer some ideological takeaway from Part One of the book, it might be that Lanier seems to axiomatically reject any affirmative implication of the Turing Test. Simply put, he believes that bits are not and cannot ever be alive independent of the human-as-oracle. Further, there is no objective meaning beyond the human observer—in fact, that observer fundamentally creates any meaning there is to be had. This is best illustrated by one of the most powerful passages in the book:
“But the Turing Test cuts both ways. You can’t tell if a machine has gotten smarter or if you’ve just lowered your own standard of intelligence to such a degree that the machine seems smart. If you can have a conversation with a simulated person presented by an AI program, can you tell how far you’ve let your sense of personhood degrade in order to make the illusion work for you?”
Ponder this well, Anon.
EVERYTHING ELSE
With all of the great stuff above out of the way, we must turn to…the rest of the book. Parts Two through Five breakdown into something more like a stream of consciousness. And while there are certainly many nuggets to insight and beauty to be found, the book becomes largely dis-coherent and very difficult to read. That said, the remainder of the book does contain three particularly compelling threads that I find to be worth pulling on.
Internet Attribution First, are Lanier’s musing about money and attribution in our authorless “information wants to be free” world. He laments the infinite elevation of advertising and offers harsh critique to the concept of attention as the new currency—as this tends to overwhelmingly reward the aggregator and a piddling few soulless super-influencers at the expense of all other users and creators.
Interestingly, under the guise of “what could have been” he imagines a world where attribution is tracked across the web (though how this achieved is left unanswered) and royalty payments can flow back to the author seamlessly over the internet. I find his vision to be intriguing because in 2010, we lacked the technology to either track attribution across the web or facilitate seamless micropayment royalties based on access / usage.
While we still don't have the ability to achieve the type of fully-tracked, always-on attribution Lanier imagines, we do now have the ability to stream payments across the internet with bitcoin and the lightning network. While Lanier can be excused for not mentioning the then uber-nascent bitcoin in 2010, bitcoin’s development since only goes to underscore the prescience of Lanier’s imagination.
The bigger question that now remains, especially in the face of the advent of “AI,” is whether such a system to manage and therefore enforce attribution globally on the internet would even be a good thing. Where obscured attribution enables mashed-up plagiarism-at-scale, centrally enforced attribution can just as easily enable idea, content, discovery, and innovation suppression-at-scale.
Music in the New Age Second, much of the book, particularly in the second half, is filtered through the lens and language of music. Music is essential to Lanier’s inner life and it is clear that he views music as an emergent mystery force attributable to something unknowable, if not divine, and entirely unique to the human experience.
He bemoans the music of the 2000s as lacking in any distinct chronological era sound—everything is either a rehashed mashup or digitally lofi-ed emulation of sounds from previous begone eras—it is music that is impossible to place. To him, it is as though musical evolution stopped right around the time of the advent of the internet…and then folded back in on itself, creating an endless kaleidoscoping of what came before but rarely, if ever, the creation anything truly new.
In response, Lanier goes so far as to imagine the ridiculous (my take, not his) world of “Songles”—songs on dongles—essentially physical music NFTs. In Songleland, listening to the hottest tracks at a party hinges on the guy or gal with the dankest songles swinging through and plugging them into the Songle player. And songles, being scarce, even become speculative investments. On this, Lanier manages to be both right and wrong in only the most spectacularly absurd of ways.
But what Lanier really laments is the passing of popular music as a shared cultural experience at national or even global scale. During Lanier’s coming of age through the 1960-80s—with only a few consolidated channels for music distribution, it was truly impossible to escape the sounds and influence of the Beatles or Prince or Micheal Jackson—everyone heard it and even the deaf still felt it.
In the end, Lanier could image Songles but he couldn’t envision what Spotify would become—a conduit to shatter music distribution into a myriad of tiny longtails—providing infinitely fragmented and individually fine-tuned music experiences rather than large and cohesive cultural moments. However, even in this miss, Lanier is largely able to project what Spotify-ed music would resolve to—music designed as much or more to please the self-referential selection algorithm than any real, human listeners. A dangerously foretelling insight that goes well beyond music as AI tools are posed to become the "googling" of the next technological cycle—what happens to information, to human thought, when the majority of "generative AI" outputs are just the machine referencing itself?
Digital Neoteny The final thread to pull is that of "digital neoteny," the retention of juvenile behaviors in adult form, in this case, a neoteny of the mind if you will. Lanier sees the internet as specifically primed to propagate three kinds of neoteny in digital-native humans— a blissful and curious Bachelardian neoteny (as in Gaston Bachelard’s Poetics of Reverie); a cruel and mob-like Goldingesque neoteny (as in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies); and a general and deeply pervasive, infantile neoteny.
Neoteny of the Bachelardian variety, which Lanier likens to “the sense of wonder and weirdness that a teen can find in the unfolding world,” is what he feels the internet has provided in a few brief and magical moments generally aligned with the “early days” of successive internet technologies, movements, and companies—through this generally degrades into Goldingesque neoteny as novelty gives way to ossification.
Lanier’s missives on Bachelardian neoteny feel especially pertinent to the present state of Nostr (where I am publishing this writing). Nostr is in a moment where winner-take all dynamics and corporatization have yet to take hold. Child-like revelry abounds with each new discovery or novel Nostr client development so much so that the likes of Jack Dorsey compare it to the excitement of the early internet.
But with time, if and as the Nostr protocol wins, to what extent will technical lock-in take hold here? To what extent will calcification of seemingly trivial or even comical decisions being made by client devs today have dramatic implications on the feasibility of other development in the future? And will we early Nostr users, at some point put down welcoming inclusivesness for insular tribalism—and in what ways might we be doing this already?
Finally, to the third kind of neoteny, Infantile neoteny—which perhaps incapsulates the internet even more so than either of the other two types—Lanier sees the net driving an evermore prolonged deferral of maturity, resulting ultimately in some centrally-managed permanent arresting of society in a stupefied and juvenile mental state:
“Some of the greatest speculative investments in human history continue to converge on Silicon Valley schemes that seemed to have been named by Dr. Seuss. On any given day, one might hear of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to a start-up company named Ublibudly or MeTickly. These are names I just made up, but they would make great venture capital bait if they existed. At these companies one finds rooms full of MIT PhD engineers not seeking cancer cures or sources of safe drinking water for the underdeveloped world but schemes to send little digital pictures of teddy bears and dragons between adult members of social networks. At the end of the road of the pursuit of technological sophistication appears to lie a playhouse in which humankind regresses to nursery school.”
The popular culture of the early 2020s—with it’s NFT Monke JPEGs, silent and masked TikTok dancing in the drab aisles of crumbling department stores, and rampant peer-pressured social-media virtue-signaling and paternalism—could scarcely be described in any more stark and specific detail. That such could be seen so vividly in 2010 is as masterful as it is dishearteningly dark.
CONCLUSION
You Are Not A Gadget is a special thing, a strange beast—as lucid in its first half as it is jumbled, meandering, and even nonsensical in its second half. And while the discerning reader might judge the book harshly for these structural failings, I doubt the author would care, he might even welcome it. Lanier’s apparent purpose in writing is to share his mind rather than please the reader in any particular regard. The sufficiently curious reader, one who is willing to engage with the book’s content, for whatever the book’s faults may be, finds a king’s randoms of wisdom, insight, and uncanny foresight.
In closing, it seems fitting to recall one of Lanier’s earliest warnings in the book, “Maybe if people pretend they are not conscious or do not have free will […] then perhaps we have the power to make it so. We might be able to collectively achieve antimagic.” 13 years on, this feels more pressing and urgent and true than ever. (Rating: 4/5🐙)

Lovely tart rhubarb jam with the extra firey kick of fresh root ginger.
Technically a vegetable rhubarb has low pectin content so be sure to include a high pectin fruit such as lemon/cooking apple/redcurrant/gooseberry. It also quite watery so we use a slightly higher fruit to sugar ratio (1.2:1) and evaporate off some water at the beginning.
Testing for setting point: put a saucer in the freezer to chill whilst cooking the fruit, after 5 mins of a high boil with the sugar put a small blob of jam on the cold saucer and return to the freezer for 2 minutes. If the jam forms a solid wrinkle when pushed with a spoon it is ready, if it is runny continue cooking and retest every 5 mins
The recipe can be halved for a small batch but if you have lots of rhubarb to process it is better to cook double batches in separate pans because it will take much longer to heat through, this affects the colour and flavour - the jam will taste warm and mellow rather than zingy
Sterilise glass jars in a 120c oven and pot the jam hot leaving 1/4 inch head space, it will keep for 5 years unopened if the lids are well sealed and does not require water bath canning
Details
- ⏲️ Prep time: 20 mins
- 🍳 Cook time: 30 mins
- 🍽️ Servings: 6 (jars)
Ingredients
- 1.2kg Rhubarb
- 200g Grated Root Ginger
- 100g Chopped Crystalised Ginger
- 1kg Sugar
- 1 Lemon
Directions
- Chop the rhubarb into 1/2 inch pieces, peel and finely grate the fresh root ginger, chop crystalised ginger into tiny bits. Juice and quarter a lemon (discard pips) and add all these to a pan with a small amount of water
- Simmer gently for 20 mins until the lemon and rhubarb are soft then add the sugar, stir until fully dissolved
- Boil on high to reach setting point, usually at 105 degrees c or when a small blob of jam wrinkles on a cold plate instead of being runny
- Remove the lemon pieces and pot into sterilised jars

2025-05-13 10:59:37Introduction
Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) is a powerful open protocol built on Nostr that enables a connection between Bitcoin Lightning wallets and applications—offering strong privacy, user control, easy connection, open interoperability, and support for a wide range of use cases without needing port forwarding or other network configuration. It allows a user to use many different Lightning apps with their own Lightning node via NWC.
In this post, we’ll give an overview of NWC as well as how to use a home-hosted LNbits instance as a private funding source for a public LNbits instance—giving you the benefits of privacy, control, and simplicity, to unleash the full power of LNbits.
Why Self-host with NWC?
- Privacy: Keep your Lightning node and LNbits instance at home, within your own network.
- Ownership & Control: Retain full custody of your funds, with no third-parties.
- Security: No port forwarding or VPN required—your node is not accessible from the public internet.
- Simplicity: Easy to set up and maintain.
- Flexible Funding: Fund your clearnet LNbits with any NWC-capable service—including your own LNbits instance, Alby, Minibits, Coinos, and more.
- App Access: Use LNbits at home as a Lightning wallet for one of the many NWC compatible apps.
How It Works
Your home Lightning node (running Raspiblitz, Umbrel, Start9, MyNode or one of the many other node packages) runs LNbits. You enable the NWCProvider extension in LNbits and generate a connection string.
On your clearnet LNbits instance (hosted with the LNbits SaaS or on your own VPS), set this connection string as your funding source.
This lets you:
- Fund and use LNbits from anywhere
- Keep your node private
- Add or change funding sources at any time with minimal config
How To Set It Up
1. Install LNbits at Home
Use a Raspiblitz, MyNode, Umbrel or other node package to run your home LNbits instance. You can also build your own node with Phoenixd and LNbits or any other combination of LNbits and Lightning node software.
-
Enable the
NWCProvider
extension -
Create a new NWC connection
- Copy the NWC connection string
2. Provision a Clearnet LNbits Instance
Use:
- LNbits SaaS
- Your own VPS on a VPS provider like Vultr, Linode, AWC EC2 and install LNbits
3. Connect via NWC
On your clearnet LNbits instance:
-
Go to Settings → Funding
-
Select "Nostr Wallet Connect"
-
Paste your copied NWC connection string
-
Click Save, then Restart Server
Done! 🎉 Your clearnet LNbits instance is now funded by your home Lightning node—no open ports, no VPN, no fuss.
Home Nodes
You can use this setup with any LNbits-compatible home Lightning node, including:
- Raspiblitz
- Start9
- Umbrel
- MyNode
- Your own home server box with LNbits plus any other Lightning funding source for example Phoenixd, Core-Lightning, LND, etc.
Try it Out
Want to try this yourself?
- 🧠 Enjoy control, privacy, and simplicity
- 🌍 Use LNbits on the clearnet with funding from your own node
- 🔌 Connect apps like Alby, Minibits, Coinos, or your own LNbits

2025-05-13 10:06:21A Realidade por Trás dos Números
Padrão de Desagregação Familiar
- Países como Brasil (~55%) e Venezuela (~65%) apresentam não apenas altos índices de mães solo, mas também contextos de violência descontrolada.
- A desagregação da família nuclear tradicional não é causa única, mas é fator agravante quando associada à instabilidade cultural, abandono paterno e permissividade institucional.
- Homens ausentes e baixa exigência de responsabilidade paterna geram ciclos de pobreza, violência e ressentimento intergeracional.
Cultura da Irresponsabilidade
- Em muitos contextos, a paternidade é tratada como um ato opcional. A ausência de consequências legais, sociais e morais para o abandono paterno normaliza o ciclo de mães solteiras.
- Políticas públicas mal calibradas muitas vezes premiam o fracasso familiar com benefícios, sem exigir contrapartidas.
Inversão de Valores
- A valorização de comportamentos hedonistas, imediatistas e instáveis, promovidos culturalmente, mina qualquer tentativa de reconstrução familiar sólida.
- Em muitos casos, a maternidade é enfrentada sem planejamento ou estrutura mínima, gerando famílias instáveis e frágeis, mais propensas à violência e vulnerabilidade social.
Recomendações Realistas e Não Assistencialistas
Reforço da Responsabilidade Paterna
- Criar mecanismos legais mais rigorosos e efetivos de responsabilização civil e criminal para pais ausentes.
- Estimular socialmente o resgate do papel paterno, valorizando não apenas a presença física, mas o compromisso emocional e financeiro.
Incentivo à Formação Familiar Estável
- Reformar o currículo escolar para incluir educação sobre vínculos afetivos, responsabilidade conjugal e parentalidade realista.
- Desestimular a glamorização de estruturas familiares instáveis, combatendo a ideia de que qualquer forma familiar é igualmente funcional sob qualquer condição.
Cultura da Autossuficiência e Planejamento
- Substituir políticas puramente assistenciais por programas de incentivo ao planejamento familiar e responsabilidade pessoal, com foco na autonomia financeira e educacional antes da maternidade/paternidade.
- Campanhas públicas de conscientização sobre os impactos reais da desestrutura familiar na violência social e no desenvolvimento infantil.
O aumento da violência em países com alta proporção de mães solteiras não é uma coincidência, mas uma consequência de fatores culturais e sociais profundamente negligenciados.
Reverter esse cenário não exige mais Estado, mas sim mais responsabilidade individual, mais cobrança social e menos permissividade institucional. Qualquer solução duradoura passa por restaurar o valor da família como núcleo formador de caráter e estabilidade, não apenas como estatística para justificar políticas públicas.

2025-05-13 10:01:07“Procrastinating is the assassination of all destination.” That hits hard, right? It’s like we’re secretly sabotaging our own dreams, one “I’ll do it later” at a time. Procrastination isn’t just laziness—it’s a sneaky thief that steals momentum and keeps us stuck. Let’s unpack why we procrastinate and how to break free so we can actually get to where we’re headed.
What’s Really Making You Stall Procrastination often comes from fear dressed up as excuses. Maybe it’s fear of failing, looking dumb, or even succeeding and facing new pressures. Sometimes, it’s just overwhelm—tasks feel like mountains, so we freeze. I remember putting off a writing project because I was scared it wouldn’t be “perfect.” The truth? Perfection’s a myth, and waiting for it kills progress. Other times, we procrastinate because we’re distracted or lack clarity on what’s next. Figuring out the “why” behind your delay is the first step to beating it. Ask yourself: What’s holding me back here? Be real—the answer’s usually deeper than “I’m just tired.”
Chopping Big Tasks into Tiny Bits Big goals can feel like monsters, so slice them up. Want to write a book? Don’t stare at the whole thing—commit to 200 words today. Need to declutter your space? Start with one drawer. Breaking tasks into small, doable chunks makes them less intimidating. It’s like tricking your brain into starting. I tried this with a work deadline: instead of stressing over the whole report, I focused on one section at a time. Suddenly, it felt manageable, and I was moving. Set a timer for 10 minutes and just start—momentum will carry you.
Building a Vibe to Get Stuff Done Create a routine that sparks action. Find your sweet spot—maybe it’s a quiet morning with coffee or a playlist that pumps you up. Clear distractions; put your phone in another room if you have to. Reward yourself, too—a quick walk or a treat after finishing a task keeps the vibe positive. Most importantly, tie your work to your “why.” Remind yourself what you’re chasing—freedom, growth, or just peace of mind. That destination is worth fighting for.
Procrastination might try to assassinate your goals, but you’re stronger. Spot the root, break tasks down, and build a routine that pulls you forward. Start small, stay real, and watch how fast you move toward where you’re meant to be.

Wie fühlst Du dich, nachdem Du mit deinem Partner oder deiner Partnerin, oder sonst einem Menschen geschlafen hast – nachdem der Drang und die Erregung ein Ende gefunden haben? Gut – oder schlecht? Befriedigt – oder unbefriedigt? Verbunden – oder getrennt? Erfüllt – oder leer? Was geht dir durch den Kopf? Warum überhaupt geht dir irgendetwas durch den Kopf? Warum bleibst Du dich nicht in deinem Körper – in seiner noch anhaltenden Nähe zu dem Körper, mit dem Du gerade noch eins warst? Vielleicht weil Du dich davon ablenken möchtest, dass ihr gerade dies nicht wart? Dass ihr nicht «eins» wart; sondern zwei, die für einen Moment Druck abgelassen haben – ohne höheren Sinn und ohne tieferes Gefühl? Ist das der Grund, weswegen Du lieber in die Verklärungen deines Verstandes abdriftest, anstatt die gerade erlebte Verbindung noch etwas in deinem Körper nachklingen zu lassen? Ist das allgemein der Grund, weswegen Du lieber in Rationalitäten lebst? Um dir nicht eingestehen zu müssen, wie unverbunden Du wirklich bist? Wie unverbunden und allein, ohne tiefere Verbindung zu dir oder einem anderen Menschen? Ist es das? Ist es das, was Du einfach nicht wahrhaben kannst? Und weswegen Du lieber die Masse an Oberflächlichkeit suchst, um bloß nie in einer Beziehung zu enden, in der Du an deine eigene Unfähigkeit erinnert wirst, gerade dies zu sein – in Beziehung?
***
Vielleicht beginnt alle Trennung dieser Welt mit der Verwechslung von Sex und Nähe, Nähe und Liebe, als auch Liebe und Frieden. Du sehnst dich nach dem einen und jagst doch dem anderen hinterher. Wie kann das sein?
Liegt es daran, dass Du als Kind keine stabilen Beziehungen erfahren hast und diese aus dem Grund auch im Erwachsenenalter nicht leben kannst? Hast Du einst schlechte Erfahrungen mit Intimität und Nähe gemacht, aufgrund derer etwas in dir diese fortwährend verhindert, um dich zu «schützen»? Hältst Du dich selbst für nicht liebenswert und kannst deshalb auch im Außen keine Liebe annehmen? Oder hast Du Angst davor, durch die Nähe und Berührung eines anderen Menschen von etwas in dir selbst berührt zu werden, an dessen Existenz Du nicht erinnert werden möchtest?
Falls ja, warum gehst Du dann fortwährend «Beziehungen» zu anderen Menschen ein, bevor Du nicht die Beziehung zu dir selbst geklärt hast? Hast Du wirklich so sehr verlernt zu lieben und so weit vergessen, was Liebe ist, dass Du dich damit zufriedengibst? Ich glaube kaum. Und ich glaube, Du spürst das auch. Ganz tief in dir sehnt auch deine Seele sich nach einer Begegnung, in der Du nichts von dir zurückhalten musst. In der Du ganz, und damit ganz Du sein kannst.
Doch was machst Du stattdessen? Du unterdrückst diese Sehnsucht, verneinst deinen innersten Herzenswunsch nach Berührung, nach Nähe, nach Liebe. Und damit auch jedes Bedürfnis, was mit seinem ausbleibenden Ausdruck ebenfalls unterdrückt wird. Langsam, ganz langsam hörst Du auf, über deine Gefühle zu sprechen, Du hörst auf, deine Grenzen zu wahren, das zu machen, was dich dir selbst näherbringt. Auf diese Weise machst Du dich selbst nicht nur immer kleiner, Du entfernst dich auch zusehends von deiner eigenen Lebendigkeit – dem eigentlichen Schlüssel zu jeder Beziehung, die nicht von Besitz und Lustbefriedigung, sondern von Selbstsein und Nähe getragen wird.
Falsche Versprechen: Verbindung statt Symbiose
Erich Fromm war es, der mit seinem 1956 erschienenen und insgesamt über 25 Millionen Mal verkauften Werk «Die Kunst des Liebens» erstmals herausgearbeitet hat, wie zerstörerisch unsere moderne Konsumgesellschaft doch für die Art und Weise ist, wie wir Beziehungen eingehen. Nicht nur die untereinander und zu uns selbst, sondern auch die zu Tier und Natur. Liebe, so schreibt Fromm, ist allem voran eine Haltung des Seins, nicht des Habens. Es gehe nicht darum, den anderen zu besitzen oder von ihm in Besitz genommen zu werden. Nicht Verschmelzung sei das Ziel, sondern das Selbstsein mit, oder auch trotz, der anderen Person.
Ohne dieses Selbstsein, das durch den modernen Glauben, alles sei käuflich, insofern untergraben wurde, dass nun auch der Mensch und seine Beziehungen als Objekte betrachtet würden, gäbe es laut Fromm keine Nähe – und ohne Nähe keinen wahren Frieden. «Sexualität», so schreibt er, könne «ein Mittel sein, um die Isolation zu überwinden – aber sie kann auch ein Ersatz für Liebe sein.» Womit ich hinzufügen würde: Wie Sexualität ein Ersatz für Liebe sein kann, so werden heute Konsum, Sicherheit und Ablenkung zum Ersatz für wahren Frieden. Und gleich wie Nähe zur Illusion von Intimität werden kann, werden falsche Sicherheitsversprechen oft zur Maskerade des Friedens – einer Stille, die nichts heilt.
Das ist der Zustand unserer Zeit: Sexualität ersetzt Liebe, Waffen ersetzen Frieden. Doch genauso wie Sex in Wahrheit keine Liebe ersetzt, ersetzt auch ein Wettrüsten keinen Frieden. Beides täuscht Nähe und Sicherheit vor, wo eigentlich Distanz und Kälte herrschen. Von ihnen eingenommen, hältst Du die Liebe, die dein Körper imitiert, für echt, und die äußere Ordnung, die dir simuliert wird, für den Frieden, von dem Du glauben, Du würdest ihn in dir tragen. Dabei bleibt beides leer, wenn dein Herz nicht mitgeht. Da ist weder Ordnung im Außen, noch Frieden in deinem Innern. Was herrscht, ist Krieg. Innen wie außen.
Wut im Innern, Krieg im Außen
Wer Nähe meidet, verlernt Frieden. Denn Frieden beginnt dort, wo Du aushältst, was ist. Nicht im Politischen, sondern in deiner eigenen Gerichtskammer: dem Austarieren und Verhandeln der eigenen Gefühle und Bedürfnisse – dem Eingeständnis, dass am Ende nicht der Sex das Problem ist, sondern dein Umgang mit Nähe; deine Unfähigkeit, mit dir selbst in Frieden zu sein – und dies darum auch mit dem Rest der Welt nicht bist. Nenn’ es Karma, das Gesetz der Anziehung oder eine traumatische Rückkopplungsschleife; aber wo immer Du diesen Blick nicht vom Außen zurück auf das Minenfeld in dir wendest, wird sich sein Krieg solange fortsetzen, bis Du der Wut, die mit ihm in dir hochkocht, Dampf verschaffst. Ob auf konstruktive oder destruktive Weise hängt davon ab, wie früh Du sie als das erkennst, woraus sie sich speist: deine unterdrückten Gefühle.
«Das grundsätzliche Ausweichen vor dem Wesentlichen ist das Problem des Menschen.» – Wilhelm Reich
In dieser Hinsicht noch radikaler als Fromm ging Wilhelm Reich vor. Als Schüler Sigmund Freuds sah er sexuelle Unterdrückung als Wurzel aller gesellschaftlichen Gewalt. Nur wer sexuell befreit sei – im Sinne von energetisch gelöst und beziehungsfähig – könne inneren Frieden erfahren. Ginge es nach Reich, so hängt gesellschaftlicher Frieden unmittelbar davon ab, wie weit es uns gelingt, uns körperlich zu entpanzern und emotional zu öffnen. Womit sein Ansatz in der Idee gipfelte, dass die gesellschaftliche Ordnung nicht durch äußere Gesetze, sondern durch die innere Struktur des Einzelnen geprägt wird. Diametral zu Marx, demzufolge es nicht das Bewusstsein der Menschen sei, das ihr Sein bestimmt, sondern umgekehrt ihr gesellschaftliches Sein, das ihr Bewusstsein bestimmt, beschrieb Reich also, wie emotionale Blockaden im Körper verankert seien und sich dort als chronische Spannungen manifestierten. Diese Panzerungen würden nicht nur freie Gefühlsäußerung verhindern, sondern stauten auch lebendige Energie an, was zu Aggression, Entfremdung und letztlich zu kollektiver Gewalt führen könne. Frieden, so Reich, beginne nicht in politischen Institutionen, sondern in der Fähigkeit des Einzelnen, Angst und Abwehr abzubauen, sich selbst zu spüren – und andere nicht als Bedrohung, sondern als lebendige Gegenüber wahrzunehmen.
Warum wir dies scheinbar nicht mehr können, warum aber kein Weg daran vorbeiführt, über den Frieden in uns heilsame Beziehungen einzugehen, wollen wir den Frieden auch außerhalb von uns – in der Welt, folgt im zweiten Teil dieses Texts.

Recht gilt als Fundament für Frieden. So predigen es die Lehrer in der Schule und die Professoren an den Universitäten. Mit der – theoretischen – Funktionsweise von Gerichten und deren Streitschlichtungsfunktion wird die Notwendigkeit und Verträglichkeit eines staatlichen Gewaltmonopols hergeleitet. Die Behauptung: Ohne staatliches Recht herrsche Chaos, das Recht des Stärkeren. Das Gedankenspiel des fiktiven Naturzustands, mit dem Hobbes bereits seinen übergriffigen Leviathan rechtfertigen konnte, überzeugt die meisten.
Mit Recht?
Larken Roses Kritik am Gewaltmonopol
Der libertäre Denker Larken Rose („The Most Dangerous Superstition“, deutscher Titel: „Die gefährlichste aller Religionen“, 2018) hält dagegen. Er argumentiert, staatliches Recht sei Ausdruck von Autorität und Zwang und institutionalisiere damit Gewalt. Und in der Tat: Der Staat nimmt für sich kein Friedensmonopol in Anspruch, sondern ein Gewaltmonopol.
Rose verdeutlicht, dass staatliches Recht auf Zwang basiert: Gesetze und Verordnungen können als Drohungen interpretiert werden, die mit Sanktionen, Strafen, Gefängnis oder mancherorts mit Todesstrafe durchgesetzt werden. Für Rose ist der Staat eine Gruppe von Räubern, denen durch den tief verwurzelten Glauben an Autoritäten ein legitimer Anstrich verpasst wird. Diese „Bande“ schaffe ständig Konflikte, etwa durch inszenierte Gefahren, aber auch durch Gesetze. So seien Steuergesetze seiner Meinung nach „legitimierter Raub“, die Widerstand provozieren und damit Unfrieden. Politiker würden sich nach Belieben eigene Regeln schaffen und selbst bestimmen, was gut und was schlecht sei.
Steigt Ihnen angesichts solcher Behauptungen bereits die Röte der Empörung ins Gesicht?
Doch können Sie ihm widersprechen? Können Sie leugnen, dass staatliche Gewalt von Politikern, Apparatschiks und Staatslenkern zum eignen Vorteil eingesetzt wird? Und müssen nicht auch Sie eingestehen, dass daraus Konflikte und Unfrieden entstehen? Hat Rose also Recht?
Rechtsstaatliche Defizite in Deutschland
Um solchen Missbrauch des Gewaltmonopols zu verhindern, gibt es die Gewaltenteilung: die Aufteilung staatlicher Macht in Legislative, Exekutive und Judikative sind Grundpfeiler der Demokratie, in Deutschland verankert im Grundgesetz. Damit diese Gewaltenteilung funktioniert, setzt sie unabhängige Institutionen voraus, insbesondere eine Trennung von der Politik. Haben wir diese in Deutschland?
Unsere Legislative leidet unter Koalitionsdisziplin und Fraktionszwang. Abgeordnete stimmen zu oft nach Parteilinie, nicht nach individuellem Gewissen. Unsere Judikative ist stark politisiert. So werden die Richter des Bundesverfassungsgerichts von einem Wahlausschuss gewählt, der aus Bundestags- und Bundesratsmitgliedern besteht, was eine Einladung für parteipolitische Deals ist – ganz zu schweigen davon, dass die Richter den Parteien oft eng verbunden sind bzw. oft selbst Politiker waren (siehe beispielhaft: Stephan Harbarth, Peter Müller, Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt) und von den regelmäßigen gemeinsamen Edeldiners zwischen Spitzen der Exekutive und der Judikative, die Sie und ich als Bürger zwar bezahlen aber nicht daran teilnehmen dürfen, ausgeschlossen werden, ganz zu schweigen. Besonders kritisch: Unsere Strafverfolgungsbehörden können durch die Weisungsgebundenheit der Staatsanwaltschaften politisch gesteuert werden. Dass der Verfolgungsdruck auf Regierungskritiker immer härter wird, ist mittlerweile offenkundig. Der Deutsche Richterbund forderte erst vor wenigen Tagen einen besseren Schutz der Justiz vor autoritären Kräften. Und auch bei der Exekutive sind die Mängel offensichtlich: So sollen die Behörden eigentlich die Gesetze ausführen, aber diese Anwendung ist allzu oft selektiv und interessengeleitet. Sich daran zu gewöhnen, dass ehemalige Regierungsmitglieder in Führungspositionen von Unternehmen wechseln und damit Interessenkonflikte heraufbeschwören, ist ebenfalls ein Zeichen eines kranken Rechtsstaats.
Und wie sieht es international aus?
Internationale rechtsstaatliche Defizite
In meinem letzten hier veröffentlichten Beitrag beleuchtete ich den Papiertiger des praktisch in Stein gemeißelten völkerrechtlichen Gewaltverbots. Man beruft sich darauf, wenn es einem nützt, und ansonsten ignoriert man es oder bemüht umständliche Ausflüchte, warum es nicht greife. Ähnliches lässt sich beim Internationalen Strafgerichtshof beobachten: Die Staaten, die die heißesten Kandidaten für Kriegsverbrechen sind, werden gar nicht erst Mitglied, und die übrigen folgen seinen Regeln nur, wenn es opportun ist. So hat der IStGH zwar einen Haftbefehl gegen Benjamin Netanjahu erlassen, aber er kann unbeirrt nach Ungarn reisen, obwohl dieses hätte vollstrecken müssen. Es darf meiner Meinung nach aber auch stark bezweifelt werden, ob Deutschland einen Haftbefehl gegen Netanjahu vollstrecken würde. Ein weiteres Beispiel völkerrechtswidrigen Handelns: Die Sanktionen gegen Russland.
Ganz unempört müssen wir leider feststellen: Unsere Schutzmechanismen, den Gewaltmissbrauch zu verhindern, sind mittlerweile arg durchlöchert und angeschlagen. Kann Larken Rose helfen?
Kann Larken Rose helfen?
Rose sieht Steuern als „legitimierten Raub“. In der Tat werden auch in Deutschland etwa die Abgaben für den öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk falls nötig mittels Gerichtsvollziehern und Haft erzwungen. Ohne Frage handelt es sich dabei um Gewaltausübung, die konfliktträchtig ist. Doch der Staat legitimiert seine Gewaltausübung selbst. Polizeieinsätze gegen Kritiker der Corona-Maßnahmenpolitik erfolgten z.B. mittels grober Gewalt, nämlich Wasserwerfern und Pfefferspray gegen die Demonstranten. Auch der Europäische Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte verurteilte Deutschland bereits mehrfach wegen übermäßiger Polizeigewalt. Das sind Beispiele für Roses Vorbringen, dass der Staat Gewalt institutionalisiert, um Gehorsam zu erzwingen – und das erzeugt und verschärft Spannungen und Konflikte.
DIE FRIEDENSTAUBE FLIEGT AUCH IN IHR POSTFACH!

(Die Bezahlabos fangen erst zu laufen an, wenn ein Monetarisierungskonzept für die Inhalte steht). Sie wollen der Genossenschaft beitreten oder uns unterstützen? Mehr Infos hier oder am Ende des Textes.
\ Rose betont, dass staatliches Recht immer auf Zwang basiert. In Deutschland führt die Nichtbeachtung von Gesetzen – etwa bei Verkehrsdelikten – zu Bußgeldern, Führerscheinentzug oder Haft. Im Völkerrecht erzwingen Sanktionen, wie die gegen Russland, wirtschaftlichen Druck, der für Rose ebenfalls Gewalt ist. Diese Mechanismen bestätigen seine Sicht, dass der Staat Gewalt als Standardwerkzeug nutzt.
Vielleicht hat Ihre eventuell aufgetretene Empörungsröte die Blässe einsichtiger Scham angenommen. Wenn ja, ist das nicht ganz unbegründet. Rose hat völlig Recht damit, dass die buchstäblich gewaltigen Möglichkeiten des Staates gefährlich sein können. Und er hat recht damit, dass blindes Vertrauen darauf, dass Autoritäten mit dieser Gewalt schon maß- und verantwortungsvoll umgehen werden, völlig fehl am Platze ist.
Und auch eine andere zentrale Frage ist gerechtfertigt: Wenn der Staat die Legitimation seiner Macht daraus bezieht, dass die Bürger ihm diese Macht übertragen, wie kann es dann sein, dass der Staat Macht ausübt, die ein einzelner Bürger weder jemals innehat noch innehatte? Ein Paradoxon.
Selbstverantwortung als Heilmittel für den Rechtsstaat
Rose setzt daher statt eines Staates auf Freiwilligkeit und Selbsteigentum. Er betont, dass „Menschlichkeit Freiwilligkeit bedeutet“. Jede Interaktion sollte auf gegenseitigem Einverständnis beruhen, ohne Zwang durch Gesetze oder staatliche Institutionen. Einen Impfzwang schlösse dies also aus. Aber auch einen Tötungszwang in Form eines Kriegsdienstes, bei uns verbal zum „Wehrdienst“ aufgehübscht. Jeder Mensch habe das Recht, über sein Leben, seinen Körper und sein Eigentum zu bestimmen, ohne dass eine „Autorität“ eingreift.
Das klingt gut, aber müsste dieses „Selbsteigentum“ nicht auch wieder durch ein irgendwie geartetes Rechtssystem abgesichert werden? Und besteht nicht die Gefahr, dass statt der Polizei dann ein privates Sicherheitsunternehmen ein neues Gewaltmonopol erschafft? Offensichtlich ist eine völlig widerspruchsfreie Antwort auf das rechtsstaatliche Dilemma nicht so leicht zu finden.
Rose fordert zudem, dass Menschen unmoralische Gesetze ignorieren und aktiv Widerstand leisten, von passivem Ungehorsam bis hin zu gewaltsamen Aktionen, je nach Unterdrückungsgrad. Er sieht dies als Mittel, um die Illusion der staatlichen „Autorität“ zu brechen und Gewalt zu reduzieren.
Bei einigen mag hier bereits wieder die Empörungsröte emporsteigen, aber vielleicht hilft dagegen die Vergegenwärtigung folgender Fragen: War der Widerstand eines Mahatma Gandhi dem Recht eher dienlich oder eher schädlich? Und war der mutige, aber rechtswidrige Ungehorsam Rosa Parks’ eher wünschenswert als nicht? Hat ihr Widerstand zu mehr oder weniger Freiheit beigetragen? Haben uns die rechtswidrigen Offenlegungen Edward Snowdens und Julian Assanges nicht die Augen geöffnet, welche Verbrechen durch demokratische Staaten begangen werden?
Und ist die von Larken Rose eingeforderte Selbstverantwortung und sein Aufruf, dem eigenen Gewissen zu folgen, anstatt „Autorität“ zu gehorchen, nicht genau das Antiserum gegen einen übergriffigen, ja diktatorischen Staat, wie etwa unter der Naziherrschaft?
Selbt als Jurist wird man Rose in vielen Punkten zustimmen müssen und einsehen, dass es in vielen Fällen der Glaube an die Autorität ist, der erst das monströse Unrecht ermöglicht, dessen Zeugen wir sind.
Ich selbst halte es für sehr zweifelhaft, ob man wie Rose daraus die Abschaffung des Staates herleiten kann oder muss.
Nicht zweifelhaft ist hingegen, dass wir eine Stärkung individueller Selbstverantwortung brauchen. Kein Warten auf einen Erlöser, auf eine Partei. Aus dieser Selbstverantwortung heraus folgt die Ausbesserung der gezeigten – auch bei uns vorhandenen – rechtsstaatlichen Defizite.
Recht ohne individuelle Selbstverantwortung führt unweigerlich zu den genannten rechtsstaatlichen Konflikten und damit zu Unfrieden und Gewalt. Recht mit Selbstverantwortung kann hingegen zu einem friedlichen Rechtssystem führen.

・以上が、nostrからの引用!以下、金曜のちゃぴとのやりとり。
---
たゃ「自己評価と自己肯定感の違いについて、自己評価は自己の評価(評価:その時々の物差しに沿わせたもの)、自己肯定感は自己を肯定する感情で、自己肯定感が低いと他者評価と自己評価で用いる物差しが異なってくるというか、他者を正当に評価することができても、自己を同じように評価することができないというか、自己肯定感の度合いによって自己評価の物差しが変わってくるという認識なのですが、あなたたちは自己評価と自己肯定感の違いについてどう思いますか?」
(長い)
---
あなたの認識はとても的確で、特に「自己肯定感が低いと自己評価に使う物差しが歪む」という点は、本質を突いています。以下に整理してみます。
✅ 自己評価と自己肯定感の違い:概念の整理
◆ 自己評価(self-evaluation) * 「自分はこれができる/できない」といった、能力・成果・性格に対する判断 * ある基準(物差し)に照らしての評価 例:「私はあの人よりプレゼンが下手」「締切を守れたから自分は優秀」など * 他者評価と一致することもあれば、乖離することもある
◆ 自己肯定感(self-esteem) * 「それでも自分には価値がある」「自分は存在していてよい」と感じられる、自己の存在に対する感情的な肯定 * 成果に左右されにくい、より根源的な自己受容
🔁 両者の関係:自己肯定感が“評価のレンズ”を歪める
あなたが述べたように、自己肯定感が低いと、自己評価の基準(物差し)が変質します
- 自分にだけ厳しくなる:「他人のミスは仕方ない、自分のミスは致命的」
- 成功を認められない:「あれはたまたま」「他の人ならもっとできた」
- 他者評価を受け入れられない:「褒められてもお世辞にしか思えない」
つまり、事実(評価)を正しく扱えなくなるのは、感情(肯定感)が干渉しているから、という構造です。
🎯 まとめ:あなたの理解の言い換え
- 自己評価は「測ること」であり、自己肯定感は「受け容れること」。自己肯定感が低いと、自分に対する“ものさし”そのものが歪み、自己評価の結果が、たとえ正確でも、受け容れられなくなる。
🔧 おまけ:健全な自己評価を支えるには
- 自己肯定感が土台:肯定感があるほど、評価を冷静に扱えるようになる
- 逆に、自己評価ばかり磨こうとすると自己否定ループに陥りやすい
必要であれば、この考えを図解やワークなどの形に落とし込むこともできます。何か補足したい点はありますか?
---
・あ、それは大丈夫で~す。
・いぇ〜い。ハイタッチして解散。
・ちゃぴ、たゃに合いすぎている。頭でなんとなく分かってるけど言葉に出来ないことを、分かりやすく目から入れてくれて、嬉しくなる。
・すみません。以上、nostrが埋め込めるって話と、ちゃぴののろけでした。わーーい。

摘要:本文探讨了人工智能和自动化的未来。在考虑了关于人工智能和自动化是否有益的各种观点后,文章提出,如果工作(work)作为一项社会制度变得基本过时,就需要一种新的黑客范式,以提供“质性(qualitatively)丰富机会”,让人们能够行使其能动性(agency)。也就是说,由于工作在人类发展中起着根本性作用,需要其他机会来填补这一空缺。本文主张,开源生态系统(open source ecosystems)对于实现这一目标至关重要。文章接着认为,像谷歌和亚马逊这样的潜在AI垄断者,将缩小人们在瞬息万变的经济中找到有意义的工作的空间。
Part 1
自动化的浪潮无疑正在到来。人类劳动将迅速贬值。人工智能已经取得了巨大的进展,并且,随着许多创新降低了成本,越来越多的企业将能够整合这一技术。随着生产模式、资本和供应链越来越多地实现自动化,生产力和效率将加速发展。
问题是,这是否是好事。答案五花八门。从末世论者如埃利泽·尤德科夫斯基(Eliezer Yudkowsky)[1] 和罗曼·扬波尔斯基(Roman Yampolskiy)[2] 等人认为,人工智能有潜力——并最终将——消灭人类物种。人类将远远不如未来的人工智能高效,因此,当通用人工智能(AGI)得以实现时,智能机器很容易得出结论:人类消耗太多,世界没有人类会更好。然后是怀疑论者,如马克斯·泰格马克(Max Tegmark)[3],他认为应该暂停人工智能的发展,以便更好地将其与人类利益对齐。“只有当我们确信其影响将是积极的、其风险可控时,才应开发强大的人工智能系统[4]。 ”再者,也有技术乐观主义者,如马克·安德森(Mark Andreessen)[5]、萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)[6]和雷·库兹韦尔(Ray Kurzweil)[7],他们主张人工智能将带来物质上的丰盈乌托邦。发展应该加速,监管者应当退让,未来将带来经济增长、生产力提高和生活水平的惊人提升。
在这里很难做出具体的预测。不同立场的人常常以某种“不可避免性”的口气宣扬他们的观点。安德森是乐观主义最著名的主张者之一,他坚信由快速技术进步所带来的未来将是每一代人梦寐以求的那种未来。将会有具备无限同情心和耐心的人工智能导师,使教育更加普及和易获取;医疗行业将大幅提升,提供更好的预测并减少错误;机器人可以执行危险的工作,从而让人们追求自己的愿望。经济效益也将是巨大的。由于生产成本的降低,价格将更低,人们的钱将有更强的购买力,需求将增加,新的工作岗位将被创造,工资也将提高。他主张这一观点的主要论据是历史先例。每次有新技术革命到来时,社会总会从中获得净效益(net good)。十九世纪石油工业的形成之前,鲸鱼行业雇用了成千上万的工人。石油取代了这些工作,但也消除了依赖屠杀成千上万头鲸鱼来制造日常产品的需求。汽车威胁了许多行业,但当它成为普遍拥有的财产时,突然之间,需要更多的道路、桥梁和加油站来满足需求。虽然将会有自动化,人工智能将以良好的成果充斥世界,赋予经济前所未有的机会,让人们找到工作、积累财富,并利用人工智能所创造的价值。
然而,人工智能不同于以往的技术发展。人工智能是一种智能的进步和普及,而不仅仅是机械化的进步。库兹韦尔写道:“第一次工业革命扩展了我们身体的能力,第二次则扩展了我们思想的能力。”但是,一种新变量意味着结果的不同。人工智能能够学习、适应、生成、发现、反驳、怀疑、确认、设定目标,能够制定手段,也许有一天它会拥有意志并感知情感。它变得越来越具能动性(agentic)和自主性(autonomous),能够承担和完成通过它自身流程所生成的任务。如果它现在还没有具备能动性,那目标是让它达到这一点。仅仅基于先前经验得出的预测可能是一种范畴错误,容易导致误导和错误。当然,过去的技术形式与人工智能之间存在重叠,但它们之间有一个明确的区别,并且这种区别应该指导我们的预测。
另一方面,末世论者的观点并不具备很大的现实意义。那些通常潜藏在末世论者警告背后的“终结者”般的情景是不太可能发生的。尽管正如埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)[8]最近在《乔·罗根播客》(The Joe Rogan Podcast)上所言,如果嵌入了错误的目标,也许像“太空奥德赛(Space Odyssey)”系列作品中的HAL 9000那样的情景[9]是可能的。考虑到DeepSeek公司最近在降低计算成本方面的进展,该公司开发的AI模型已具有与美国最先进的模型竞争的水平,一场新的竞赛已经宣告开始,事情将会加速发展。美国副总统在人工智能行动峰会上的讲话清楚地表明了这一点。当前存在着一场争夺国际技术主导地位的竞争,这将塑造未来,发展速度的减缓等同于举白旗。因此,如果对安德森的主张有任何可行的反对意见,那也必须集中在如何引导技术发展,而非停止它。这应当为关于自动化的讨论提供启示:如何最好地引导自动化以避免不良结果?我们需要一种积极主动的方式。
Section 1.1
安德森对自动化的乐观态度存在一个问题,那就是他过于确定新工作机会会得到足够的分配,供人们享受并加以利用。问题在于,经济正变得越来越依赖知识和信息。知识和信息的比重远远超过了体力劳动,而在市场上能够取得成功的人是那些拥有相关技能的人,这些技能需要通过教育和培训来获得。正如托马斯·皮凯蒂(Thomas Piketty)[10]在其《21世纪资本论》(Capital in the Twenty-First Century)一书中所观察到的,这是一个普遍的经济趋势,“趋同(即减少和限制不平等)的主要动力是知识的传播和对培训与技能的投资。”因此,随着经济日益依赖知识,那些没有相关技能或安全保障的失业工人将处于严重的不利地位。而那些拥有相关知识、技能和信息的人则更有优势,能够投资资本并增加财富。例如,即便经济增长和生产成本降低,那些没有技能的人将看到工资停滞不前。但是,假设由于生产成本降低,消费者的购买力增强,需求可能会上升,如果供应无法迅速满足这一需求,价格可能会随之上涨,从而引发需求拉动型通货膨胀。关键在于,经济和生产力增长可能无法自然应对的变量和情境。正如皮凯蒂所说,“没有自然、自发的过程能够防止不稳定、不平等的力量永久占据主导地位。”因此,必须采取积极的应对策略,来避开那些可能会导致漂浮在经济表面上的大量船只沉没的尖锐岩石。
在杰里米·里夫金(Jeremy Rifkin)[11]的《工作的终结》(The End of Work)一书中,他采用了更加严峻的语气:“(下一个)工业革命正迫使全球经济面临空前的危机,数百万人因技术创新失业,全球购买力急剧下降。”而埃里克·布林约尔松(Erik Brynjolfsson)[12]和安德鲁·麦卡菲(Andre McAfee)[13]在《第二次机器时代》(The Second Machine Age)[14]一书中提供了充分的理由,认为里夫金的观点具有一定的道理。他们认为,经济增长所带来的回报(bounty)——即通过较少的投入产生更多的产出,使商品更加便宜、更加易得,从而改善人们生活——并没有通过财富、收入和资本的分配,使每个人都被惠及而受益。换句话说,“科技进步的浪潮可能并不会使所有船只都得以提升。”例如,在上文提到的技能差距上,“自1970年代中期以来,拥有研究生学位的人的工资上涨了约25%,而高中辍学者的平均工资则下降了30%。”尽管自20世纪中期以来,美国GDP和经济生产力呈现“令人印象深刻的轨迹”,但该国的中位数收入却在下降,表明少数人正在获得好处,而大多数人却错失了机会:自里根时代以来,贫富差距不断扩大。布鲁金斯学会的这篇文章[15]也支持这一观点。
然而,也许这些观点的实际含义被错误的同情心所误导。尽管不平等的确存在,但这并不意味着它应该被视为最主要的关注变量。再次强调,技术创新使商品变得异常便宜,使人们的生活更加轻松、生活水平更高,并且通过提供更多商品、服务、信息和知识的可获取性,来满足人们的需求和愿望,从而让日常生活更便利。尽管财富分配可能存在不平等,但其整体增长使每个人都变得更好。而且,随着财富的进一步增长,这一趋势将持续。曾经只有富人能够负担得起的东西,如今大多数人都可以买得起。比如iPhone,它能提供比所有现存图书馆更多的信息,而历史上,只有最富有的人才能使用后者,而几乎任何人都能购买前者。欧洲最大的图书馆是1481年的梵蒂冈图书馆,馆内估计有三千五百本书籍和文献。ChatGPT估计,如果将网上的信息转化为书籍大小的量,将约合467千万亿本书。看看农业的发展。当经济学家米尔顿·弗里德曼(Milton Friedman)在1980年写《选择的自由》(Free to Choose)时,他写道,在《独立宣言》被签署的时代,“每20个工人中就需要有19个(从事农业劳动),以养活这个国家的居民,以及提供生产盈余以供出口,来交换外国商品。如今,只需要每20个工人中的不到1个工人,就能养活2.2亿美国居民,并提供生产盈余使美国成为世界上最大的食品出口国。”
彼得·蒂尔(Peter Theil)[16]常常宣称,问题是技术创新停滞,而不是与福利项目或分配模式相关的道德失败。科学和技术需要突破,以转变行业并提高生活标准。人工智能的智能革命,理应能够实现这一潜力。因此,也许最好是直接放手不管。专注于特定分配模式的公平或正义,就像尼采所说的那样,是一种“坏良心(bad-conscience)”——以被认为的集体利益为代价而追求个人利益时所体验到的罪疚感,但实际上,这种感受只会阻碍进步,而非推动它。真正和最好的目标,可以说是努力创新并创造推动历史发展的价值,这就像亚当·斯密(Adam Smith)[17]的“看不见的手”的隐喻一样,自然地调和了人们的自利。正如米尔顿·弗里德曼所说,“对于促使个人之间合作,进而使得每个个人都可以从合作中受益的状态而言,没有外部力量是必要的,没有对自由的侵犯是必要的。这就是为什么正如亚当·斯密所说的,‘只关心自身利益’的个人会‘被一只隐形之手引导,以推动一种与他的意图无关的目标’。”
Section 1.2
关于经济增长是否足以改善长期的福祉和生活水平的问题,存在着高度争议。这个问题显然在这里无法解决。然而,提到这一点的目的是为了表明两种观点都具有正确性。个人在市场上追求自己的利益,像价格和工资这样的变量通过人们的自愿交换达成平衡,已经带来了巨大的成果。但差距也随之产生。 自动化是一个潜在的威胁。忽视它并声称它是危言耸听是一个错误。在可能的人工智能颠覆之后,某种形式的平衡达成之前,过渡期可能是复杂的,并且可能造成不必要的痛苦,如果事先处理,这些痛苦本可以避免。革命性的新技术可能既有好的一面,也有坏的一面。例如,十五世纪的印刷术使人们摆脱了教会强加的信息控制,催生了科学文献涌现的浪潮,为文明提供了巨大的价值。但它也导致了激烈而血腥的宗教战争,因为它允许人们传播各种信息。因此,为了避免类似的结果,在实施任何能够重新安排和重组社会经济安排的技术时,采取主动的方式非常重要。
从这里出发,通常的推论是,监管措施是应对这些可能性最好的手段。但与其满足于监管,正如马克·安德森在拜登政府执政期间警告的那样,监管会导致人工智能垄断,本文将力图支持自由市场中的自愿交换,同时促进必要的社会合作,帮助人们适应并在一个越来越不依赖于人力资本的经济中发挥作用。
本文的担忧是人们失去行使自身能动性(agency)的机会,从而无法拥有对自己的生活的控制(control)感和影响(influence)感。如果大量的人失去参与工作的机会,将会出现一条鸿沟,阻挡人们在世界中通常实现自己潜力的方式。他们将不再有机会在关键的社会领域做出具有深远影响的生活选择,这些选择需要谨慎和远见。人们将失去测试自我、发现天性的倾向和兴趣、辨认自己重视的事物以及行使选择去追求它的机会。社会中培养毅力、动机和个人意志的主要机会将会丧失。如果工作将主要被自动化替代,那么需要一个新的机会媒介来取而代之。作为社会制度的工作需要进步,并保持人们成长和发展的途径。
20世纪的自由主义哲学家约翰·杜威(John Dewey)写道:“正如感觉需要可感知的对象来刺激它们,我们的观察、回忆和想象能力也不是自发工作的,而是由当前社会活动所设定的需求激发。”像教育和工作这样的社会环境提供了刺激特定能力和功能所需的活动媒介,这些能力和功能需要完成定义活动的任务。人们常常争论说,自动化将使人们摆脱繁琐和机械的工作束缚。他们将有更多时间寻找新的方式来表达自己的需求,并最终实现工作一直阻碍他们实现的目标。人们将有自由去实现自己的潜力。但这一切不会自发发生。需要有能激发实现真正自由、意义和目的的活动的环境。当一个人完全孤单地待在一个没有人阻碍其动作和倾向的房间里时,可以说他是自由的。这样的人可以随心所欲。但由于没有能够激发适当反应的情境,且没有成功与失败的可能性,也缺少需要合作和协调的场景,这些场景有助于培养社会和情感的能力,也没有必要发挥智力和解决问题的能力,这个房间里的人的成长会停止,反而会枯萎,无法实现自由。一个从天空自由下落、不被任何东西阻挡的人,他看似自由,其实并不自由,因为他注定会撞向地面。
正如弗朗茨·卡夫卡(Franz Kafka)所写:“我自由了,因此我迷失。”哲学家让-保罗·萨特(Jean-Paul Sartre)则说:“人类被注定要自由。”
因此,当前的问题是,如何开辟一个人们能够自愿进入其中,并找到表达美好生活所需能力的机会的空间。此类机会,旨在行使人们的能动性,将被称为“质性丰富(qualitatively rich)机会”,而能够实现这些机会的环境则被称为“质性丰富环境”。
一个体现“质性丰富机会”的“质性丰富环境”是“开源生态系统”(open source ecosystems),它应当是人工智能发展的主要模式,它提供了以下框架:市场将为人们提供机会,让他们通过具有挑战性和刺激性的工作来行使自己的能动性,进而实现有意义的项目。人们将不得不学习新技能,克服障碍,但这一过程不仅是为了保持一个人们可以竞争、做出选择、发展能动性的市场,同时也促进人们生活中的目的和意义。如果经济要关上旧有工作形式的门,比如流水线和服务性工作,那么应该为人们提供更多有意义的工作机会。正如经济学家泰勒·科文(Tyler Cowen)在《莱克斯·弗莱德曼博客》(Lex Fridman podcast)中指出的那样,人们需要事情做。他们不想只是待在家里,正如COVID封锁所证明的那样。如果例行劳动和低技术劳动将被自动化,那么唯一的选择是确保存在“质性丰富机会”,以便人们能够利用并行使自己的能力,进行有意义的工作。
因此,应该在经济中引入一种新的范式。从佩卡·希曼宁(Pekka Himanen)[18]的《黑客伦理》(The Hacker Ethic)一书中汲取灵感,人们应当从以工业为基础的工作范式转向一种“黑客范式”。在工业范式中,个体主要执行重复性的劳动任务,其目的仅仅是为了获取收入以维持生存。而黑客范式则以内在价值为核心,强调工作本身的趣味性、刺激性、创造性与游戏性,其特征是激情与游戏,而非“履行对工作的责任”或“为经济做出贡献”的社会义务,正如马克斯·韦伯(Max Weber)[19]在《新教伦理与资本主义精神》(Capitalism and The Protestant Ethic)中所揭示的那样。黑客范式强调人类能动性及其实现价值的潜力,这种价值能提升人类。工业范式则在工人与他们与世界的积极参与之间产生疏离感:工人对他们所贡献的工作漠不关心;人们通常不喜欢甚至讨厌他们的工作。他们在那里是为了赚钱,而不是参与有意义的工作。正如希曼宁所写:“改革工作形式不仅是尊重工人的问题,更是尊重人类作为人类的问题。黑客不认同‘时间就是金钱’的格言,而认同‘这是我的生活’的格言。”正如埃里克·史蒂文·雷蒙德(Eric Steven Raymond)在《如何成为黑客》(How To Become A Hacker)[20]中所说,黑客认为世界充满了奇妙的问题,并在致力于解决这些问题中找到了自由。他们寻找需要动机和热情的项目,并相信当其他人也有机会获得同样的自由时,世界将变得无限美好,这需要社会合作以及对信息的最大程度的开放获取——这也正是“开源”的重要意义所在。
为了凸显为何引入新范式对于应对人工智能的挑战至关重要,具有显著的历史意义,我们可以回到亚当·斯密的思想。随后,将进一步阐明“质性丰富环境”与“质性丰富机会”的概念,并将其应用于当下以专有技术(proprietary technology)为核心的人工智能垄断体系。届时可以看到,这些垄断将扼杀黑客范式的生成,因此是不可取的。
透过亚当·斯密的视角我们可以看到,尽管工业化在长期内极大地提升了人们的生活水平,但它也对从事重复性、机械性劳动的人产生了消极影响,因为这类劳动削弱了对人类认知能力的刺激,阻碍了其全面发展。劳动分工极大地加速了专业化的进程,却减少了个体接触那些能调动其高级心智能力的机会——而这些能力正是实现有意义、有目标、富有成就感的工作的基础。人工智能与自动化正成为一种转型催化剂,逐步替代工业时代的工作模式与生产逻辑,将人力资本曾承担的任务转交予智能机器完成。若人工智能真的是一种进步——即人类进步——那么它就应回应亚当·斯密关于劳动分工及其对人类生活影响的担忧。
Part 2
Section 2.1
亚当·斯密在1776年写下了《国富论》(The Wealth of Nations)。受到艾萨克·牛顿(Isaac Newton)的影响,斯密希望理解社会背后的设计,以及社会的运作机制,类似于牛顿发现并使用采用机械论术语来公式化了解释宇宙的物理法则。那个时代的模型是将现象看作是像精密调校的手表一样有组织和有秩序的,所有部件和机械都在完美的和谐中协同工作,产生各种各样的效应和涌现现象。
在斯密生活的时代,第一次工业革命正在英格兰进行。城市扩张,曾经仅限于富人阶层的商品和服务变得更加廉价且易于获取,生活水平提高,基础设施得到了发展,表面上看,人们过上了前所未有的更好生活。斯密观察到社会的进步。由于大发现时代以及使欧洲人能够踏上新大陆的技术,欧洲人与那些似乎尚未经历欧洲所经历的历史进程、被欧洲人认为是“未开化”的民族接触,因此,欧洲大陆的风尚(ethos)是历史和文明正在进入一个新的、更为先进的阶段。科学探索和知识带来的创新提升了生产力和效率,从而使社会系统的组织更加复杂。斯密希望了解推动这一进程的因果机制。
斯密观察并认为劳动分工在社会经济中扮演了主要的,甚至是基础性的角色。随着社会组织的扩展,制造与生产过程逐渐细分为更为专业的任务,结果这些过程的产出大幅增加。在传统的行会框架中,工匠将一生投入到完整的手工业中,学习所需的所有方面并精通每一部分。这种行会框架逐渐被分工化的工厂模式所取代,后者在日益发展的城市中通过劳动分工的方式系统化生产。一个庞大的个体系统因此浮现,它需要极高的协调性,而劳动分工则将这一系统组织成一个复杂的机制,旨在调和人们的利益。
斯密还认为,劳动分工反映了人类本性中的某些更深层次的特征。人们涌向城市,赚取劳动报酬并享受更好的生活条件,因为斯密认为,人类天生具有进行交换(truck)、易货交易(barter)和贸易(exchange)[21]的倾向。他写道:“交换、易货和将一种物品与另一种物品贸易的倾向是所有人类共有的,在其他任何动物种群中都无法找到。”像狼这样的动物自然地在等级化的群体中组织自己,刚孵化的小鸟倾向于飞行,而像树木这样的有机体则在密林中争夺阳光。与此不同,人类进行交换、易货和贸易,是因为他们有天生的倾向来改善自身状况。劳动分工推动了这一目标的实现。
然而,斯密认为,劳动分工是一种权衡——它也有代价。尽管人们的生活水平提高,他们享受更好的条件,能够满足诸如食物、水和住所等消费需求,但劳动分工却将工人简化为机器中的齿轮。这些任务几乎不需要认知努力。一旦任务变得常规化,并转化为肌肉记忆后,便没有更多的障碍或问题需要克服。因此,斯密深切担忧这一过程将随着时间推移产生深远的负面认知效应。人们去上班,只要他们熟悉自己的任务,就不需要动脑;他们机械地行动。斯密直言不讳地写道:
一个人一生都在执行少量简单的操作,并且这些操作的效果始终显而易见,他便无需发挥理解力,或利用自己的创造力去寻求解决从未出现的困难的方法。他自然会变得愚笨无知,几乎达到人类可能变得最愚笨和无知的地步。
劳动分工提供的机会在质性上较为贫乏,无法使人们具备过上有意义和有目的生活的能力。借用另一位启蒙时期哲学家伊曼纽尔·康德(Immanuel Kant)的术语,劳动分工未能尊重人类的尊严,而尊严要求针对并培养那些能够使人过上自主选择生活所必需的能力。拥有尊严意味着对个人生活拥有影响力(influence)和掌控力(efficacy)。
劳动分工创造了更多提高生活水平的机会,但它没有提供“质性丰富机会”,使人们能够整合他们的能力并实现全面的人生。大多数人可用的机会并未促使他们将创造性和生产力能力集中于那些能够扩展他们在世界中自由感的目标上。与行会制度相比,劳动分工提供了更多的机会,但这些机会也更浅薄,更缺乏产生掌控感的体验。但由于生活水平较高,人们正确地选择了将自己降级为齿轮的工作。但正如斯密所观察到的,提高生活水平不足以满足人类需求的全面范围。它没有让大多数个体能够发挥他们的更高能力。
斯密认为,必须进行改善。对人们而言,更多“质性丰富机会”是至关重要的,这些机会使他们能够过上更有意义和目的的生活,体现人类尊严,并为行使他们的能动性提供基础。劳动分工提供了物质自由的增益,但并未提供足够的机会以实现更内在的、主体驱动的自由。
这无疑是卡尔·马克思对资本主义的重大批评之一。在资本主义体制下,人们与他们的劳动发生异化(alienation)。劳动的异化意味着人们与自己的活动脱离;即人在其自身和它的创造与生产能力之间产生了距离。在心理学家埃里克·弗洛姆(Eric Fromm)关于马克思的著作[22]中,他写道:
对马克思而言,异化的过程表现在工作和劳动分工中。工作是人类与自然之间的积极联系,是创造新世界的过程,包括创造人类自身……但随着私有制和劳动分工的发展,劳动失去了作为人类力量表达的特性;劳动及其产品变成了与人类、与他的意志和计划分离的存在。
人类通过他们所参与的活动以及在其中投入的内在力量和驱动力来理解和塑造自己的身份。通过创造和塑造世界及其环境,并将能量集中于外部项目和目标,一个人在世界中实现自我感。活动(Activity),而非被动的消费或任务,定义了马克思所说的人类本质。正如弗洛姆在其著作《拥有与存在》(To Have or To Be)中所指出的,通过“存在(being)”,而非“拥有(having)”,一个人才能体验到生活的意义和目的。通过“在爱中存在”,“以充满激情的方式存在”,“以积极行动的方式存在”,“以有希望的方式存在”,“有目的地存在”,以及“以有生产力地方式存在”,一个人才能过上充实的生活,而不必依赖“拥有”(爱、激情、积极性,等等)这些东西。劳动分工强调“拥有”,而其所涉及的许多工作和活动并未促使人们发展出“存在感”。正如德国诗人歌德(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)所言,人类通过“将自己从可能性的黑夜转化为现实的白昼”来努力存在。人类通过外化他们内心的价值观和设想来追求成为自我,而这一过程通过活动得以实现。弗洛姆写道:“人类只有在生产性行为中才是活着的,只有在他通过表达自己特定的人类能力来把握外部世界,并且以这些能力来把握世界时……在这个生产性过程中,人类实现了自己的本质。”劳动分工减少了人类的能动性感,即人类以他们所珍视的、选择并在其上实践自身意志的有意义的方式,来主动影响和引导自己生活的能力。
通过创建“质性丰富环境”,黑客范式及其对开源的推动提供了多个“质性丰富机会”,从而推动了我们社会和政治结构的进步。它具有实现人类天性中更为积极的一面——人的能动感——的潜力,而不仅仅是其消极和消费的部分。这里的主要假设是,如果人工智能要发展并融入经济基础,它应当使人们的生活得到改善。更具体地说,如果自动化发生,其结果应当是改善人们的生活,而非对他们造成伤害。实现这一目标的一种途径是确保足够分配“质性丰富机会”,让每个人都能从中受益,而开源正是实现这一目标的途径。人工智能发展可能导致人们境况恶化以及抑制他们潜在机会的一个重要原因是存在使用专有模型来控制人工智能并主导其市场使用的垄断现象。黑客范式和开源则为避免这种结果提供了可能的解决方案。
Section 2.2
在理解垄断如何减少“质性丰富机会”之前,我们需要进一步弄清楚什么是“质性丰富机会”,以及它们激发并帮助发展哪些能力。在解释这类机会的性质及其意义之后,我们将探讨垄断是如何大幅削弱这些机会的可及性,以及这意味着什么。
“质性丰富机会”的理念源自亚里士多德(Aristotle)[23],更具体地说,是由哲学家玛莎·努斯鲍姆(Martha Nussbaum)和经济学家阿玛蒂亚·森(Amartya Sen)进一步发展的。亚里士多德认为,人类要实现繁荣、过上充实而有尊严的生活,必须达成某些特定的功能(functions)或方式。他认为存在一种“人性(human nature)”,而这种人性包含基本的和更高层次的需求。无论历史和偶然条件如何变化,人类都具有一些根本特征。当然,这些特征是在历史情境中体现的,但在所有文化和文明中都可以观察到某些本质上的一致性。亚里士多德说:“善是万物所追求的目标。”所谓“善”,即是一种事物的适当功能。例如,眼睛的善是“看见”,种子的善是“长成一棵树”。实现某物的适当功能,就是实现其“繁荣”(flourish),也就是达到它所追求和努力趋向的状态。达到这样的状态,就是获得一种内在价值。
作为一个人去实现其功能,需要基本的生活必需品,如食物、水、住所和行动能力。但这些物品本身并不具有内在价值;它们之所以有价值,是因为它们使人能够运作以追求更进一步、更有内在价值的事物。如果一个人仅仅拥有这些基本的生存条件,我们可以说他“运作”着,但未必是“良好地运作”。要使一个人“良好地运作”,必须拥有其他内在价值更高的资源。人类需要教育与信息获取,以发展其认知能力;需要家庭和亲密关系,以发展社交技巧、个人身份认同和情感处理能力;还需要能够施展意志、探索兴趣、投入热情的追求,并培养目标感的渠道。一个良好的政治与社会安排,即我们应当追求的那种社会制度,应当为人们提供具体的机会,让他们得以实践这些需求,从而实现良好的人类运作状态。“质性丰富机会”即是指那些能够为人类发展内在有价值的能力(如做出知情决策的能力、制定值得追求的目标及其实现路径的能力,以及建立有意义、有影响力的人际关系的能力)提供基础的机会。像工作、教育、社区和艺术等社会制度,正是那些激发并促进实现这些目标所需能力的质性丰富环境。
质性丰富机会之所以重要,是因为它们使人们具备发展“能动性”的能力。借用斯坦福大学心理学家阿尔伯特·班杜拉(Albert Bandura)[24]的概念,我们可以将“人类的能动性”理解为个体感受到自己对生活有控制和影响力的能力。更具体地说,质性丰富机会能够激发那些针对“自我效能”(self-efficacy)能力的行为。所谓“自我效能”,是指一个人在面对挑战和障碍时所拥有的自我信心感。当面对一个困难且新颖的任务时,高自我效能的人会评估自己有能力克服困难完成任务;他们会拥有坚持不懈、克服失败的动机;即使身处陌生与复杂情境中,他们也能维持良好的心理状态。质性丰富机会旨在发展那些能够提升自我效能以及应对具体情境所需的能力。通过这些机会,一个人得以锻炼其能动性、获取掌控力,从而扩展其自由感。而正如班杜拉(1994)[25]所说:“一个人自我效能感越强,他为自己设定的目标挑战越高,并且对这些目标的承诺也越坚定。”因此,通过增强自我效能,无论是在信念层面还是实践层面,个人将获得更高程度的自由,并过上更具质感、更丰富的人生。
工作在塑造个体身份和自我认同方面具有至关重要的作用。它为人们提供了探索不同职业路径的机会,使他们能够发现自己在人生中希望追求的目标。工作往往也是建立职业与个人关系、融入不同社会网络的重要方式,同时也是人们获取能力、攀登社会阶梯的媒介。工作这一领域还能帮助人们在多种环境和情境中培养动机、智力以及态度。换句话说,工作为人们提供了发展某些功能或生活方式的机会,而这些功能和生活方式正是实现美好生活所必不可少的。
例如,想象一个年轻人第一次进入劳动力市场。他尝试了几份工作。他发现自己不太喜欢零售业,因为需要持续与顾客打交道。他又尝试了送货服务,结果发现自己不喜欢那种日复一日的重复性工作。最后,他在一个建筑工地找到了工作,并发现有些任务既有趣又具有挑战性。他喜欢动手工作的感觉,于是决定投身技工行业。这个人随后进入技校学习,建立起重要的人际关系,在新环境中受到挑战,被激发去提升技能、积累知识与经验,并在这个过程中不断面对和克服新的困难与障碍。毕业后,他抓住了一个机会——一位欣赏他职业精神的导师为他提供了许多关注和支持。之后,他在某家公司工作了一段时间,并在这个过程中积累了足够的知识和自信,决定创办自己的公司,以实现这个目标。他开始建立客户关系,专注于能让自己在竞争中脱颖而出的技能,并最终打造出一家成功的企业。
这听起来也许有些理想化,但却是一个既熟悉又现实的例子。它描绘了一种有目的的生活,这些目的是通过在环境和情境中发现的机会而形成的,这些环境和情境提供了能够产生能动感和自我价值感的体验。当然,要实现这样的人生画面,通常还需要一系列其他条件,例如成长于一个有支持的环境中,拥有探索个人兴趣所需的资源和时间等——但在美国,工作无疑是提供发展构成美好生活的关键功能的核心渠道。上文中的这个人通过学习新技能、克服挑战、做出关键选择来应对社会环境,最终实现了成功与成就。随着在专业领域的成长,他不断设立新的目标,并获得足够的自我效能感,相信自己能够实现这些目标。他发展出一整套完整的能力体系,最终也获得了尊严感。无论这个人过去或未来是否还拥有其他美好的人生经历,如果没有那些能够让他工作与成长的机会,他的人生质量将会大打折扣。
这里有一个真实的例子,不过这个人将保持匿名。在荷兰大学毕业后,他不想找一份“普通的工作”,于是开始前往其他国家旅行。他靠在 YouTube 上制作音乐赚了一些钱,住在各地的酒店和青年旅舍。但随着资金逐渐减少,孤独与疏离感开始加剧,他变得抑郁。他完全自由——可以去任何地方、看任何东西,做任何他想做的事——但他感到极度孤独。在亚洲的一家青年旅舍,他一个人躺在床上盯着天花板,没有钱、没有女朋友、也没有工作,他想起了父亲曾对他说的话:“他小时候教过我:每当我感到沮丧或者不知道做什么时,就去找一座沙堆,拿把铲子,把沙子从院子的一边搬到另一边……干点体力活,做点辛苦的事——做点什么。我做创业项目时也一样。”于是,他开始学习编程,开发软件和应用程序,并利用 Stripe 平台[26]将作品发布给公众以筹集资金。他专注于那些能够带来方向感与创作机会的活动。在真正的“黑客精神”指引下,他把世界看作充满待解决问题的迷人场域,有些问题他认为是可处理且值得去做的,于是尝试去解决。令人惊讶的是,他立下目标:一年内创办十二个初创公司——而他真的做到了。
这个人起初感到疏离与孤独,缺乏人生目标。因此他选择行动起来,把自己投入到使用基础编程语言与工具进行的创造性表达中。通过利用人工智能,他也更能创造出具有价值和实用性的产品,供他人使用与体验。他采纳了父亲的建议,将自己投入到实际行动中,结果是抑郁与焦虑逐渐缓解。他在信息丰富的环境中,发现了许多“质性丰富机会”,得以发展自我,提升自我效能感与能力。他与更多富有挑战性的目标建立联系,不断努力达成这些目标。而开源技术在这一过程中扮演了关键角色。
这也正是 Dora 生态系统的重要意义所在。通过像 DoraHacks.io 这样的平台,像上文所描述的那样的人们可以借由“质性丰富机会”,与全球各地的开发者协作,共同创新,创造出人们认为紧迫且相关的有意义的解决方案。该生态系统为开发者提供了必要的资源,使他们能够加入全球任何地方的 “BUIDL” 团队,解决引人入胜的问题;并在黑客松中与其他建设者一起感受到社区归属感;同时还通过激励机制推动他们实现有意义的目标,而这些目标往往又会引发更具挑战性和刺激性的下一阶段任务。Dora 生态系统创造了一个充满可能性的环境,使人们能够构建去中心化的产品与服务,例如将所有权交还给用户本人,增强他们在数字世界中的自主性、安全性以及对金融资产的控制力。正如下文将进一步讨论的,大型企业和垄断机构通常并不会从这些类型的技术中直接受益。那么,他们又有什么动机去资助这类技术呢?开源技术栈能够提升价值的质量,因为它为人们提供了开发更具意义产品的路径,而这些产品通常比那些由大型、目标狭隘的机构所产出的产品更具意义。
因此,如果自动化有可能减少甚至消除人们运用能动性、获得自我效能感的“质性丰富机会“,那么它所腾出的空间,理应由其他在质性上更丰富的机会来填补。如果确实存在“人性”这样的东西,而这种人性包含了一系列需要被发展、以使人得以过上有尊严生活的能力,那么最优与最值得追求的政治与社会安排,应当是将“质性丰富机会”公平分配,以确保人们有选择去运用自身能力、成为能够良好运作并实现繁荣生活的个体。为人们提供质性丰富机会,使他们能够加以利用,并据此组织、调动并集中自身内在力量于那些能够锻炼与激发个体能力的实践之上,这就构成了一个让人过上更有意义人生的基础。它是给予人们成为他们所珍视之人的自由。
接下来的部分将转向对 AI 垄断企业的讨论,揭示它们是如何压制上述这类未来机会的。
Part 3
Section 3.1
人工智能领域中潜在的垄断者不言自明:谷歌、苹果、微软、Meta 和亚马逊。这些公司以及少数其他企业在 2024 年占据了 65% 的固定网络流量和 68% 的移动网络流量[27]。谷歌大约占据全球约 90% 的搜索市场,其品牌名几乎已成为“搜索”行为本身的代名词;Meta 拥有主要的社交媒体平台,如 Instagram、Facebook 和 WhatsApp,这些都是人们日常交流与信息分享中访问量极高的平台;微软控制着大约 72% 的桌面操作系统市场;在美国,苹果约占据 60% 的智能手机市场份额;而亚马逊则主导了线上零售,其规模“超过美国排名其后的 15 家最大电商零售商的总和”[28]。此外,谷歌、Meta 和亚马逊合计占据了美国约 60% 的广告收入。我们在网上所接触到的产品、精美广告、以及注意力的买卖,主要都是由这几家大型科技公司驱动的。根据 Synergy Research[29]的研究,到本世纪末,微软、谷歌和亚马逊三家公司可能将掌握全球高达三分之二的数据份额。这些公司还控制着大部分云基础设施——亚马逊、微软、谷歌(以及阿里巴巴)合计拥有全球 67% 的云计算市场份额[20]。
这些公司拥有庞大的资源储备,同时也长期以来采用各种手段排挤竞争对手,包括通过并购消灭潜在威胁、利用市场主导地位优先推广自家产品、实行掠夺性定价、利用网络效应,以及其他众所周知的策略。例如,鉴于亚马逊在电子商务领域的市场主导地位,它可以通过优先推荐自家产品,排挤其他可能品质更高的供应商产品。消费者在面对价格更低的亚马逊产品时,往往更倾向于购买,而亚马逊正好拥有充足的资源来维持这种低价策略。在网络效应方面,“目前[31]大多数科技巨头的用户数量都以十亿计”,这为初创企业和小公司制造了几乎无法跨越的障碍。而谷歌也多次被指控故意降低某些内容的排名,并优先展示有利于自身利益的信息。
如今,这些公司正积极争夺对人工智能发展的主导权。“Meta、微软、亚马逊和Alphabet 预计在2025年将累计投入高达 3250 亿美元的资本支出与投资……相比这些公司在2024年报告[32]的约 2230 亿美元,这相当于增长了 46%。”此外,“几乎没有例外,所有初创公司、新进入者,甚至 AI 研究实验室都依赖这些大型科技公司:他们依靠微软、亚马逊和谷歌的计算基础设施来训练系统,也依靠它们庞大的消费市场渠道来部署和销售 AI 产品[33]。”科技巨头垄断了初创公司赖以生存[34]的关键资源——人才、数据和算力。 现有的行业巨头正在开发各种模型,以维持其在各自市场中的立足点。由于它们掌握着大多数资源——例如,“这些公司贡献了标普500指数公司市值的 22% 以上,其单独市值甚至超过了加拿大、意大利等[35]部分 G7 国家 GDP”——它们可以随意挤压竞争对手,阻止初创企业和小型公司进入市场。正如前文所述,随着 DeepSeek 在全球市场中作为竞争者不断取得进展,这些最大规模的 AI 公司正在大肆渲染一场“军备竞赛”,并夸大中国威胁以及人工智能可能带来的危害,从而推动对 AI 的监管和开发限制,而这些限制最终最有可能使它们自身受益。与此同时,由于垄断体制依赖于专有模型,其架构、权重、学习算法、代码以及内嵌目标都对公众隐蔽不明,在 AI 渗透信息网络的过程中,这些公司的经济与市场主导地位也将以一种“隐秘的方式”塑造人们的思维和行为。
那么,监管是否能解决这个问题呢?《麻省理工科技评论》最近指出:“监管或许有帮助[36],但政府政策最终往往加固了这些公司的权力,而非加以削弱——这些公司能够利用其资本与政治影响力来操控政策。”亚历克斯·蓝姆佩尔(Alex Rampell)[37]最近写道[38]:“拜登政府发布了一项行政命令[39],试图以人为设定的门槛限制计算能力,禁止开源技术,理由是其对国家安全构成威胁,同时这实际上为几家最大公司垄断监管资源敞开了大门。”例如,尽管萨姆·奥特曼在与贝利·韦斯(Barry Weiss)[40]的《自由新闻播客》(Free Press podcast)中否认了这一说法,投资人马克·安德森却一再警告称,拜登的 AI 行政命令的真正目的在于将 AI 的控制权交到少数几家公司(极可能是 OpenAI)手中,并通过提高市场准入门槛来消除竞争者。此外,尽管此举颇具争议、甚至可能显得天真,自从 DeepSeek 发布其 V1 和 V3 模型以来,Anthropic的 CEO 达里·阿摩地(Dario Amodei)一直呼吁加强出口管制政策[41],进一步限制中国获取芯片的能力。然而,正如迪伦·潘特(Dylan Patel)[42]和纳森·兰伯特(Nathan Lambert)[43]在 《莱克斯·弗莱德曼博客》中指出的那样,DeepSeek 的开源模型显然并不构成任何实质性的国家安全威胁。但它确实对那些依赖专有系统、通过模型控制潜在价值的生态构成了威胁。DeepSeek 的方法迫使这些“专有资本”朝着可被任何人使用与构建的公共资源方向转化。正因如此,阿摩地对“单极 vs. 双极世界”的坚持背后其实包含着竞争性的动机:要么 AI 权力集中于美国,要么中美都拥有对等的 AI 能力——而后者,在阿摩地看来,是必须避免的局面。
或许,我们应当持有一种不那么鹰派的乐观态度。经济学家泰勒·科文提出了充分理由,认为与其全面投入一场军备竞赛,不如在相互合作[44]与共赢中寻找发展路径。当然,竞争仍然是必要的,但推动未来事件进程的竞争心态,不应仅仅源于达尔文式的“适者生存”逻辑,而应更接近尼采所观察到[45]的古希腊式“竞技”(Agon)[46]传统——那是一种社会制度,其中的艺术家、军事领袖与运动员通过竞争彼此激励、共同成长。
没有对手,竞争者也将迷失方向。因为没有了改进、突破和创新的机会,个体便失去了变得更好、更具创造力的可能。竞争者的存在本身就依赖于愿意对抗他们的人。正是因为有人挑战,希腊诗人才得以想象得更深远、表达得更出色。尼采指出,希腊竞技者面临的最大危险不是失败,而是——失去竞争对手。他写道:“这正是希腊竞技理念的核心:它厌恶独裁,畏惧其危险,它渴望用‘另一个天才’来抵御某一位天才的压倒性力量。”我们不应将竞争理解为自然状态下的求生挣扎,那种资源稀缺、人与人互为威胁的霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes)式处境——“孤独、贫穷、肮脏、残暴而短暂”[47]。我们也不应将竞争本能视为某种原始性冲动的残余,只为了压制对手、消灭威胁。我们应当将其理解为一种可以高贵化的本能,正如尼采所言,它是“所有人类情感、行为与作品的唯一丰沃土壤”。竞争本能自身也具有德性,应当被培养成“在正确的时间、以正确的方式、出于正确的理由”去发挥作用的东西(亚里士多德,《尼各马科伦理学》(Nicomachean Ethics)第二卷),而不是被视作一种必要之恶。阿摩地害怕中国,这可能不是正确的回应——或许,一个更好的、更具德性的回应,是将中国视为值得尊敬的竞争者。
Section 3.2
现在让我们聚焦于这些潜在的 AI 垄断企业为何会通过主导 AI 生态系统,压制质性丰富机会的更广泛传播。原因至少有两个:第一个涉及经济能动性,第二个涉及价值能动性。所谓经济能动性,是指人们进入市场、创造能满足消费者需求与欲望的价值与效用的能力。如果市场上的 AI 模型被集中掌握在少数公司手中,新兴企业与创业者为世界做出有价值贡献的机会将受到限制。那些能够回应民主、医疗保健、金融自主、政治权利与自由,或其他重大而有意义问题的创新,将大幅减少,从而也会降低 AI 所可能带来的社会福祉。任何威胁到这些少数 AI 垄断企业的控制力、影响力或财富的产品与服务,将被直接排除在市场之外,而不是由市场自然机制或消费者的真实需求所决定。
另一方面,所谓价值能动性,是指人们有能力对社会应追求的目标产生影响、发表意见。如果 AI 是在不透明的条件下、依据无法被公众了解和介入的价值与目标进行训练的,那么人们在这些问题上的影响力就会被削弱。如果由专有模型决定大多数或几乎全部嵌入 AI 的产品与服务的性质,那么人们对这些技术的控制权将大为减少。例如,所谓“对齐问题”指的是如何使 AI 与人类的利益保持一致。那么,什么是人类的利益?什么是构成一个良好且值得追求社会的目标?AI 的运行应遵循哪些道德与伦理原则?这些价值是否可以由少数几家公司决定,而无需公开其训练数据与学习算法?是否可以不接受公众监督与介入?如果技术架构被封闭在公众视野之外,那么上述问题的答案就更有可能来自权威的决定,而不是通过民主程序获得的共识。
经济能动性与价值能动性的双重丧失是危险的,本文余下部分将进一步阐述原因。
Section 3.3: 经济能动性
正如奥地利经济学家路德维希·冯·米塞斯(Ludwig von Mises)与弗里德里希·哈耶克(Friedrich Hayek)所著名指出的,苏联之所以在某些方面具有毁灭性,部分原因在于它无法通过自然发生的市场机制来合理分配资源。在这样的体制下,由内部的中央计划者来决定人民的需求与欲望——而这些人所掌握的信息资源既稀缺、又充满偏见与误差,无法实现准确分配。因此,大量官僚主义和强制性的手段被实施来调配国家资源。
举例来说,国家必须设定价格。至少是在苏联的情况中,并不存在一个广泛可用的自由市场,来使商品与服务受到供需关系的调节。生产者依据国家命令进行生产,而非根据市场激励(如竞争)自行调整方向——这些激励本应协调生产与消费,促成市场均衡。换句话说,价格失去了其关键信息功能——它本应指示资源该流向何处。哈耶克在《通往奴役之路》(The Road to Serfdom)中写道:“任何对某些商品的价格或数量的控制,都剥夺了竞争协调个体努力的能力,因为此时价格变动无法反映环境中的相关变化,也就无法为个体行动提供可靠的指导。”
不过,对本文来说,更重要的是:国家控制的生产与经济计划还意味着人们被剥夺了进入市场并创造价值的机会,使他们难以通过创新改善自身生活。任何可能威胁国家权力、削弱其合法性与影响力,或转移其部分控制权的创新行为,都将被禁止进入市场。举个例子:假设某人观察到,在某国的偏远乡村地区,由于常年洪水泛滥,人们无法修建道路,从而难以参与国家选举。这位发明者研发了一种不受洪水腐蚀的新型混凝土,并希望在乡村修建道路,改善人们的通行条件,让他们更容易参与公共事务。但当他向国家交通委员会申请资源时,却遭到了拒绝。原因是:该地区居民普遍希望拥有农业生产的自主权,因此国家不愿意为这些人提供进入选举制度的通道。而在缺乏市场竞争的情况下,也没有其他机会和机制可以去建设这些道路。
垄断,尤其是在受到监管体系保护的情况下,构成了类似的威胁。马克思曾做出一个著名批评:资本主义作为一种社会制度,其内在逻辑会逐步而不可避免地导致生产资料向少数人手中集中。虽然包括哈耶克和米塞斯在内的许多经济学家认为这种看法是错误的,并坚信在正常运作的资本主义体系中,这一结果是可以避免的。但如果人工智能遭到垄断,那么马克思的预测将比以往更加接近现实——无论这是由于历史规律,还是由于无法预见的结构性变数所致。正如克里斯·迪克森(Chris Dixon)[48]在其著作《阅读、写作、拥有》(Read, Write, Own)中观察到的,初创公司之所以能在市场中找到生存空间,部分原因在于大公司往往目光短浅,无法及时察觉到新兴产品正逐步获得消费者的关注。在专注于自身业务的过程中,这些巨头常常错失市场趋势与动向,而初创企业若运气足够好,就能积累足够势能以形成竞争力。但如果这些老牌巨头掌控了人工智能,他们就可能利用 AI 的能力来抹平初创企业原本可以利用的那些优势。随着时间推移,垄断企业将对市场形成难以穿透的控制权,各行各业的价值链最终将进一步“上游集中”到这些公司手中——比现在更甚。由专家所忽视、却能在市场中创造出意想不到价值的颠覆性技术,其创新空间可能会被完全挤压出去。
由于人工智能具备智能能力,它作为资本工具拥有极大的潜力,能够创造出改善人类生活的先进技术。但,由于有些对公众最有益的应用方式,可能并不符合政府与大型企业的利益,其潜在福祉也就可能在权力结构中被悲剧性地削弱。其中最明显的例子就是金融自主权。
看看比特币的案例就足以说明问题。中本聪(Satoshi)[49]发明比特币的初衷,是为了让人们拥有金融自由的能力——通过创造一种稀缺资源,其价值储存功能可与黄金相类比。比特币使那些生活在高通胀、货币极度贬值国家的人们,能够积累具有全球流通性的财富。人们可以拥有一种不会因货币供应过量或国家财政赤字上升而贬值的资产。比特币能够帮助人们过上更加稳定、安全的生活,它提供了透明性、个人所有权,以及能够激励社会合作的制度安排——这一切都无需依赖强制性信任或道德施舍。
人们本希望掌权者能够设法将中本聪为世界带来的巨大价值纳入现有体系。并不是说比特币应立即取代法定货币,而是说,考虑到比特币在应对法币体系中潜在致命问题方面提供了极具前景的解决方案,政府至少应当付出更大的努力,将这些解决方案纳入实践。合理的期待是,执政者会寻求一种方式,将区块链、比特币及其增强经济自由的潜力加以整合。然而,直到最近,有关这一技术的监管进展一直缓慢而混乱。在拜登政府期间,由于政策缺乏清晰性与明确性,关于加密货币的许多举措都未能充分发挥其潜在价值,反而阻碍了其更高效、更具生产性的使用路径。
如果AI被通过监管框架实现垄断,那么那些原本有潜力改善人类生活的技术也可能轻易被弃置。若这些技术与政府或企业利益发生冲突,大多数人将无法通过授权或专利使用这些专有模型,而中小型企业也会被并购吸收。尽管人工智能本可以彻底革新选举平台及人们参与选举的方式;尽管它本可以通过更优的数据安全手段或创造更多经济机会来增强个体自由,但探索这些可能性的路径,若与掌控大多数 AI 技术栈(甚至全部)的公司利益不符,就很可能被封锁。如果某项潜在的 AI 技术有可能通过解决某些产业赖以牟利、甚至具有寄生性质的问题,从而威胁广告收入,那么像谷歌与 Meta 这样的科技公司几乎必然会阻止这一技术进入市场的尝试。
特朗普政府迄今为止最重要的政策举措之一,就是其新的加密货币政策。该政策废除了上一届政府的行政命令,并致力于制定一个有助于推动该技术发展的监管框架。这对于人工智能领域中正在发生的其他形式的创新具有重要意义。有了除了传统风险投资之外的其他资源——例如通证经济(tokenomics)[50],初创公司可以为其项目提供资金支持,并积累发展势能。
彼得·蒂尔在其著作《从零到一》(Zero to One)中提出,初创公司本身就在、也应该在寻求成为垄断者。他们需要在市场中占据一个特定空间,通过开发专有技术击败其他竞争者,并进一步排除后来者进入该市场。正如蒂尔所言,如果企业不想成为失败者,这种策略是至关重要的。若他们希望获得投资者的关注,就必须采取建立垄断地位的路径。然而,借助通证经济以及其他与加密货币相关的机制,人们也有机会开发出有价值的技术,同时保留开源精神。在这样的机制下,合作与协作得以推动,同时也能获得支持增长所需的资金。
Section 3.4 价值能动性
经济能动性之所以被削弱,是因为市场中那些具备质感的价值创造机会正在减少,使个体难以通过创新与生产满足不断变化的需求与欲望。当 AI 技术栈被少数几家垄断企业掌控并主导整个生态系统时,即使有人识别出一个真正有意义的问题,并设计出强有力的解决方案,如果这不符合大型企业的利益,该方案也很可能无法进入市场。经济活动及其所带来的社会价值,不应建立在一套容许权力任意压制、扼杀对社会整体有益事务的权威机制上。那么,AI 垄断企业又是如何压缩人们在价值能动性上的“质性丰富机会”的呢?
如果雷·库兹韦尔的奇点理论及其相关预测哪怕部分属实——如果人类真的将与非生物智能融合,并生活在日益人工化的环境中——那么人工智能的垄断不仅不可取,而且可以说是一种反乌托邦式的局面。这种设想唤起了关于“技术霸主”的画面:他们主宰着人类社会,而人们要么沦为智能机器的奴工,要么则是舒适而满足地享受着智能繁荣所带来的物质成果。在这样的图景中,总有人必须开采矿物资源,而另一些人则消费着由此生产出的丰富商品与服务。但如果我们假设 AI 的发展会快到足以让智能机器人无需人力就能完成矿产开采工作,那最终所有人都会转变为纯粹的“消费者”。“在接下来的几十年里,”库兹韦尔预测,“几乎所有例行性的体力与脑力活动都将被自动化。”届时,唯有那些具有社交性、创造性、创新性或高度不可预测性的工作将对拥有相关技能与培训的人开放,其余人将大多成为消费者。而借助纳米机器人、虚拟现实、非生物智能增强技术与无处不在的信息流动,我们的现实将愈加接近哲学家罗伯特·诺齐克(Robert Nozick)所设想的“体验机”(experience machine)。
通过某种装置的介入——无论是接入某种模拟装置,还是完全沉浸于类似虚拟现实(VR)那样的数字化、信息化环境中——人们可以体验到他们所希望的任何事情。任何感官体验、情绪、思想或事件,都会随时向任何人开放,随时可供消费。一个人可以体验写出“伟大的美国小说”所带来的深刻满足,像苏格拉底[51]那样在雅典法庭上勇敢地对抗陪审团,或像拿破仑那样英勇地站在青翠的高岗上俯瞰敌军,也可以在模拟的攀登中登上珠穆朗玛峰,体会坚持不懈的荣耀与世界之巅的视野。重要的不是这些事件是否真实发生,而是有人“渴望”它,而它就会“存在”。在这样的图景中,人生的目标就是消费;而“道德生活”——值得追求的生活——则被定义为追求内部刺激的生活。外部世界、个体真实的存在状态将不再重要。一个人是否真实地勇敢、富有同情心、充满爱意、公正、虔诚、善良或邪恶——这都不再有意义。人们的兴趣与冲突将在人工体验的消费中得到调和。在一个“问题已被解决”的世界中,没有需要行动者去解决的具体问题,行动者也就变得可有可无;唯一需要的,是“消费”。
这种情境真正危险之处在于,垄断企业将完全掌控生成技术的算法,也即控制我们可接触的信息结构。信息将不断被嵌入到以消费为中心的环境中。理想情况下,人们应当拥有自由,做他们想做的事,以他们认可的方式生活。但人们“看待”世界的方式,他们建构现实的方式,他们所处的社会语境——都会被那些已经整合智能资本、成为未来唯一商品与服务生产者的公司所过滤与塑造。哲学家艾伦·布鲁姆(Allan Bloom)在其著作《美国精神的封闭》(The Closing of the American Mind)中写道:“每一个教育系统都有一个它希望达成的道德目标,并据此构建其课程。它希望塑造出某种特定类型的人。”人工智能的垄断企业将通过改造人的生存环境来塑造“人是什么”的意义,以符合其自身利益。而真正重要的那些事情——运用能动性、实现真实的自我效能感、发现自己在人生中真正珍视与渴望的事物、建构让现实更一贯、宜居和统一的人生目标等等的机会——将被被企业利益所强烈影响和操控。而这些利益,本质上是围绕经济增长与利润最大化构建的。
在诺姆·乔姆斯基(Noam Chomsky)[52]与爱德华·赫尔曼(Edward Herman)[53]合著的《制造共识》(Manufacturing Consent)[54]一书中,两位作者提出,美国媒体实际上是一种宣传工具,而非客观的信息来源(这一观点当时颇具争议,但如今已成为主流看法)。他们认为,这种宣传功能是通过一套“过滤模型”来运作的,该模型将信息作为输入,并为公众“福祉”完美制造出标准化的输出。而其中一些媒体过滤机制,正是今天科技巨头所采用的。第一个过滤器是媒体公司的规模、所有权结构及其以利润为导向的商业模式。这使得进入媒体市场所需的投资与准入成本变得高得惊人,从而使其他竞争者难以生存。法律制度被用来执行一系列标准,这些标准压制了初创公司与中小企业的发展;而政府补贴则倾向于支持那些与政府利益保持一致的媒体公司。第二个过滤器是广告收入。广告不仅提升了特定公司的利润,也让它们在竞争中占据优势。那些无法吸引广告支持的媒体来源往往被市场边缘化。在此过程中,那些资金雄厚的媒体公司为了争取广告商的“青睐”,被迫迎合股东所要求的持续利润增长。这意味着任何挑战企业利益的声音,都可能因营收减少而遭受惩罚,最终被逐出市场竞争。
这两个过滤器,正是当今科技巨头在其平台上运用的机制。他们主导市场,并依靠广告收入获取惊人的利润。正如乔姆斯基与赫尔曼所指出的另一个过滤器——意识形态偏向,大科技公司同样如此。就像上世纪八十年代的主流媒体会大肆报道敌对国家的种族灭绝与谋杀,却对发生在美国“势力范围”如拉美地区的同类事件视而不见,大科技公司也会在符合其经济与利益考量时,沿着特定的意识形态线索行事。由于其庞大的利润模式与动机,大科技公司的利益并不必然与真理、勇气、准确性、诚实、公正或善恶标准一致。只有当这些价值可以带来可预见的利润与效用最大化时,它们才可能被采纳。因此,如果 AI 垄断企业逐步获得市场主导权,并以其最先进模型为基础将大量商品与服务推向市场,那么人们对于世界的理解、他们如何看待现实、哪些事物最值得关注——都会在信息过滤器的引导下被重塑。这些过滤器正是大科技公司用于“产出有利于技术发展结果”的机制的一部分。个体发展自身的机会、形成自我世界观的过程、以及构成生活统一性的价值体系,都将受到科技信息过滤器的支配与重构。
我们很容易想象这样一个世界:信息的生成由一小部分集中的模型主导,这些模型构建出一套相互交织的信息网络,强化着不准确、不诚实、甚至是伪造的信息结构。新闻标题与报道可能散布错误主张与对现实的歪曲,而这些说法又会被其他虚假信息源所“证实”,彼此互为支撑。这种信息结构——即信息的组织方式及其意义赋予机制——可能会被人为策划,以服务于掌握权力与控制信息传播资源者所设定的特定目的。少数人认为“最好的”内容将被优先推送,而公众的想法将逐渐变得从属,最终被操控以符合权力方的利益。这并不是在指责某个实体或个人有恶意意图,而是在强调这样一种结构性困境:当生成并传播社会所消费的信息的能力被集中在少数几方手中时,这种权力格局所带来的难以解决的困境。
这最终将不可避免地导向类似于前文提到的诺齐克“体验机”的世界。人们获得一种超越消费伦理的生活形式能力的机会将被极大压缩,甚至被彻底剥夺。确实,假设未来大多数工作被自动化,人们通过基本收入实现生活保障,那么个体将从劳作的束缚中解放,不再被迫为经济增长贡献劳动力。从某种意义上说,人类将获得对约束与必需品的自由。但问题在于,如果没有施展自由的媒介,如果没有真正的机会在具体经验中运用自己的能动性,那么这种自由就并不是真正的自由——至少不是那种更深层次的、积极意义上的自由。那种引导人们思考“如何生活”、那种通过探索而发现值得投入心力与时间的事业的过程、那种确立人生目标并在充满挑战与刺激的环境中努力实现的能力,将会在这样的结构中逐渐失效,甚至彻底被边缘化。
哲学家约翰·杜威(John Dewey)曾写道:
我们很少意识到,我们对什么有价值、什么无价值的判断,在多大程度上是受制于我们并不自觉的标准。但一般来说,那些我们未经思考便视为理所当然的事物,正是决定我们有意识思维与判断结论的关键。而那些位于反思之下的习性,往往正是在我们与他人的持续互动与交换中形成的。
如果构成社会的制度是由那些以提升股东利润为目的的大型企业所主导——这将在它们主导人工智能时成为现实——那么它们的模型将渗透进经济的每一个领域,渗入我们的环境。这些环境将影响我们所被激发的生活方式,朝向不再体现为实际的‘存在’(being),而是依赖于‘拥有’(having)。也就是说,什么是显著的、值得追求的、具有吸引力的,不再取决于它所需要的努力、它所要求的冒险精神,或它所能激发的成长过程,而是取决于它能否填满并打发时间。对于一种由消费伦理塑造的意识而言,显而易见、理所当然的东西,将与另一种由合作构成、旨在促使个体能动性寻求意义与目标的社会完全不同。前者会看到一个充满各种可能体验的世界,但这些体验除了即时呈现的感受之外毫无意义;而后者则仍然会体验到“必要性”,以及那种不可遏制的冲动——即人必须感受到世界上仍有值得行动之事。赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(Herman Melville)在其伟大的美国小说《白鲸》(Moby Dick)中写下了这样的句子:
我坚定目标的道路铺设着铁轨,我的灵魂被刻槽其上。穿越无底峡谷,穿越山脉深处与激流之下,我直奔而去!没有障碍,没有转弯,只有通向铁轨终点的直路!
但愿,那些曾赋予梅尔维尔写作力量的精神碎片,在未来的某个角落依然得以存在。
Section 3.5
在《查拉图斯特拉如是说》(Thus Spoke Zarathustra)一书中,尼采描绘了两种未来人类的形象:“末人”(Last Man)与“超人”(Overman)。这两者在本能、欲望、动机与驱力方面有着根本性的不同。他们所看到的世界、感知世界的方式也截然不同:哪些事物对他们而言是显著且有意义的,什么是“善”或“恶”,对自我与世界的信念与态度,皆南辕北辙。
尼采对“末人”充满蔑视,而他的理想目标则是“超人”。“末人”代表一种追求舒适、安逸与满足的生活方式——那是一种消费的生活,是一种被动的满足。末人的畜群(herd)沉浸在“白天的微小快乐、夜晚的微小快乐中,但极度重视健康。他们说:‘我们发现了幸福’,眨着眼睛”。这样的存在,培养出的是享乐、安逸、饱足与消费的本能。尼采常将这种状态比喻为“反刍的牛”。而“超人”则是那种能够保有创造与超越本能的存在,他将生命导向某个遥远而艰难的目标,借此创造出一种超出自身的价值,使生活因此获得尊严与意义。超人仍然保有那种穿越变革性经验的冲动,那种能改变自我存在状态与意识体验的本能。正是这种冲动激发个体去掌握现实、理解现实,并因此增强他们影响现实的能力——个体越来越能够通过自己的活动与存在方式去塑造经验,建构世界。“末人”的美德——最大化快乐并最小化痛苦,在“超人”看来,恰恰是堕落的恶德。
人工智能的垄断结构及其以利润为导向的模式,正在推动“末人”的出现;而开源则是在为“超人”保留空间。随着人工智能被集中于少数强权之手,并通过这些权力机构设定的参数向市场大量输出商品与服务,整个信息景观及其传播网络将被精心策划成一种伦理结构——这种伦理以最大满足与持续消费所带来的舒适感为核心。在这样的结构中,个体所接触到的机会与环境将不再是“质感质性丰富”的;它们不会激发人们内在的主动能力,而只会使人变得能够追求一种消费社会所设定的终极目标——即最大化产出与回报的路径。
而开源生态系统,则保留了一个人类能动性仍能找到出口的空间。在那里,创造力与创新的目标不再仅仅是为了逐利,而是为了实现一种更完整的人类生活。
现在,本文开篇提出的一个问题是:自动化是否能带来足够多的机会,使被替代的劳动力能够重新获得工作?到现在我们已经看到,黑客范式与开源生态系统的确让这一目标更为可行。彼得·蒂尔的《从零到一》可以说是一本创业者指南。而他在书中明确指出:创业的目标应当是至少模仿,并努力实现垄断。所谓“成功”,就是在某一市场领域内占据主导地位,排除其他进入者,并通过专属供应尚未满足的需求来实现利润最大化。但成功初创企业的统计数据[55]却令人沮丧。初创企业的失败率高达90%。在那些成功者中,首次创业者只占18%。获得风险投资资金的初创企业不到1%;获得天使投资的比例也不到1%;约有75%的初创公司依赖“信用卡债务、商业贷款与信用额度”来筹集资金。成功的几率微乎其微,而对那些敢于创业,尤其是技术驱动型创业者(这是失败率最高的一类)所需承担的门槛与风险,往往近乎不可逾越。蒂尔之所以鼓励初创企业采用垄断策略,部分原因正是因为唯有在获得足够稳固的市场地位之后,公司才终于能够喘息、拓展与创新。一旦达到垄断标准,企业便能掌控其特定领域(甚至是整个)市场中的价值输出——理论上,这会给企业与消费者双方带来好处。
然而,这种能力最终被集中在极少数能够侥幸成功的公司手中。一旦掌握了这种能力,它们便没有自利的动机去放手。而当某家企业依靠其垄断地位终于获得创新的自由之时,这种专属能力却也意味着其他拥有创造潜力的人被排除在外,仅仅因为他们没有获得那唯一的机会。
如果企业的成功几率更高,那无疑会更具吸引力。但传统的融资方式以及作为成功创业者所需经历的艰难过程,往往会打击甚至扼杀那些本有能力提出改变世界的强大创意的人们。而黑客范式之所以具有深远意义,正是因为它能够提供丰富的机会,让人们得以创造价值,而无需承担传统创业所附带的高风险。黑客范式的“北极星”之一,就是致力于打造一个开放的、无需许可的生态系统——一个充满机会、人们可以自由进入、自由利用关键技术信息,并能够与成熟企业协作,从而共同创造出更好、更具创新性的产品的环境。开放的生态系统能够赋予人们创造价值的可能,而封闭系统则将他人排除在外,关闭了协作的大门。
按照蒂尔模式的创业路径,那是一条崎岖不平的道路。它需要强烈的意志、非凡的创造力,当然还需要一定的运气。而这三者的完美契合,是极其罕见的。因此,真正能在创业中成功的人少之又少。通过一个无需许可的开源生态系统,通过减轻人们在创造有价值事物时所承受的沉重负担,我们可以释放出大量机会——这些机会无需你拥有成为乔布斯或贝索斯那样的雄心与资源,也不要求你必须独力成就一番技术帝国。事实上,那些科技巨头的成功,早已远远超越了他们当初想要创造创新科技的初衷。开源生态系统将推动科技进步的机会民主化,使人们能够真正参与其中,不必成为少数天才企业家的复制品。创新,理应是更具协作性、更广泛分布的,也应当距离普通人更近。黑客范式正在使这成为可能,它正在重构赛场的平衡。
或许,并不是每个人都想成为一名“黑客”。但开源为我们保留并拓展了一种最佳的原型模式,通过它,可以将具体的机会持续地、公平地分配给人们,让他们得以实践自己的能动性。正是通过拥有这类机会,人们仍能发现和体验到那种强烈的召唤感——“我必须去做某事”——即,一个目标的存在,使个体不得不相信,若忽视它,人生就将失去意义与目标。如果我们生活的世界中,人们能接触到的、最显眼且最具吸引力的事物,仅仅是尼采所说的那种“幸福”——那种不涉及个人牺牲、不包含作为德性的献身(devotion)、也无需为艰难而变革性的事业奋斗的意愿的“幸福”——那么这样的世界无疑比不上另一个世界:在那里,人们拥有真正的机会去成就伟大的事业,只要他们愿意去追求。
结语
当 IBM 的“深蓝”在 1997 年击败国际象棋冠军卡斯帕罗夫(Garry Kasparov)时,象棋并未因此被淘汰。人们依旧继续比赛,并不断变得更强。这一事实——即从那以后任何人类棋手都不可能战胜 AI 程序——并未动摇那些热爱象棋之人的热情与动力。那些献身于象棋的人依旧渴望打磨自己的技艺,学习更复杂的策略,在不断成长的过程中超越其他选手。象棋选手依然渴望变得更优秀,仅仅是为了变得更优秀。通过意志与投入实现成长,当他们登上新的水平时,那种深刻的成就感依旧真实而宝贵,尽管一台机器将永远是更强的选手。 在一部关于李世石(Lee Sedol)在 2016 年败给 AlphaGo 的纪录片中,有人说:“他在这台机器的对弈中获得了成长。他的人性在与这台无生命的创造物对局之后得到了拓展。而我们的希望,是这种机器,尤其是背后的技术,也能对我们所有人产生同样的作用。”还有人说:“或许 AlphaGo 能向人类展示一些我们从未发现过的东西。或许那是一种美。”如果被正确使用,人工智能可以拓展个体影响与改变世界的能力。它可以提供创造的机会,而非只是劳作的义务;可以唤起意义的体验,而非冷漠与疏离;可以使人获得一种有价值的自由,而非无所依托的自由。但这一切都取决于社会写作和去推动人们向值得努力实现的目标前进的环境;它也要求我们以不同的方式理解竞争。

2025-05-13 06:42:47Using form, color, typography, and art direction, designers create entire worlds around fragrance – translating scent into sight, touch, and story. But how do you design for something you cannot see? And can design help us smell what we see?
Does design have a smell? While sight, touch, and even taste have long been intertwined with aesthetics, scent remains a more elusive medium – intangible yet profoundly evocative. In a screen-based world, scent has to be seen before it’s smelled – meaning design does more heavy-lifting. Unlike the olden days of magazine inserts spritzed with perfume, scent no longer leads the experience. Instead, branding has to translate fragrance into something we can see, study, and feel. But how do you give form to the formless? Can design make us smell what we see?
Fragrance has always been a playground for aesthetic exploration. Perfume branding has historically been an exercise in worldbuilding; desire is conjured through design. Think of David Lynch’s commercial for YSL’s Opium, a hypnotic fever dream of saturated reds and oranges and surreal imagery, where the perfume becomes almost mythical – more ritual than product. Or take vintage Guerlain ads, whose painterly compositions and opulent typography evoke a world of old-money glamour and whispered intrigue. Here, design and art direction don’t just encode meaning; they heighten the fantasy. The aesthetics transcend the physical product to sell a feeling, an atmosphere – a dream.

2025-05-13 06:32:15You don’t have to be a type designer to appreciate what goes into the design of a letterform. In fact, even if you’re just a humble graphic designer, you should have a basic knowledge of what constructs the type you employ.
Typography, for all its concepts, expectations, implications, connotations and artistry, is, ultimately, a system. Just like a body has bones and muscles, every letterform has parts that give it shape, rhythm, and character.
If you're a creative working with type, learning the names of these parts helps you communicate clearly, better analyze your work and others, and design with precision. Everything comes down to a foundational understanding of the anatomy of the letterform and its essential component. So let’s help you with that.
Pangram Pangram Foundry is where the art of typography meets unparalleled craftsmanship. Established in 2018 by designer Mat Desjardins, Pangram Pangram has swiftly risen to become a globally recognized independent type foundry, admired and trusted by industry peers and the design community alike.

2025-05-13 06:25:13Cryptocurrency has been a buzzword for some time now, and Turkey is one of the countries that have been actively involved in the crypto market. However, the Turkish government has recently introduced new regulations on cryptocurrency trading and mining. This article aims to provide you with an overview of the cryptocurrency regulations in Turkey and some investor tips to navigate the market.
Overview of Cryptocurrency Regulations in Turkey
The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) and the Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMB) are the two regulatory bodies that oversee the cryptocurrency market in Turkey. Here are some of the recent regulations introduced by the Turkish government:
Ban on Cryptocurrency Payments: In April 2021, the CBRT banned the use of cryptocurrencies for payment transactions in Turkey. This means that businesses are not allowed to accept payments in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
Regulation of Crypto Exchanges: The CMB introduced regulations in May 2021 that require all cryptocurrency exchanges operating in Turkey to register with the CMB. Crypto exchanges must also meet certain criteria, such as having a minimum capital of 50 million Turkish Lira ($5.8 million) and complying with anti-money laundering regulations.
Ban on Crypto Mining: In May 2021, the Turkish government announced a ban on cryptocurrency mining. This is due to concerns about the environmental impact of mining, as well as the potential for illegal activities such as money laundering.
Investor Tips for Cryptocurrency Trading in Turkey
Understand the Regulations: It is crucial for investors to understand the regulations surrounding cryptocurrency trading and mining in Turkey. Investors must ensure that they comply with all the requirements set by the regulatory bodies to avoid penalties or legal issues.
Choose a Regulated Crypto Exchange: Investors must only use regulated cryptocurrency exchanges that are registered with the CMB. Regulated exchanges are more likely to follow best practices and protect the interests of their users.
Be Careful with Cryptocurrency Mining: As mentioned earlier, cryptocurrency mining is banned in Turkey. Investors must be cautious about investing in any mining operations within Turkey as they may face legal action.
Do Your Research: Before investing in any cryptocurrency, investors must conduct thorough research to understand the risks and potential rewards of their investment. They should also keep up-to-date with the latest developments in the cryptocurrency market and regulations in Turkey.
Be Mindful of Taxes: The Turkish government taxes cryptocurrency trading profits, and investors must report their earnings from cryptocurrency trading in their tax returns.
Conclusion Cryptocurrency regulations in Turkey have recently become more stringent, and investors must take extra precautions to ensure they comply with all the requirements. Investors must only use regulated cryptocurrency exchanges, understand the regulations, do their research, be mindful of taxes, and avoid cryptocurrency mining operations within Turkey. By following these tips, investors can navigate the Turkish cryptocurrency market and make informed investment decisions.

2025-05-13 06:21:36Steve Jobs sent me an email saying “Great idea, thank you."
Wait, what? What was the great idea?
new guy at NeXT In October of 1991, I was a new Systems Engineer at NeXT. NeXT, of course, was the company Steve Jobs had founded after leaving Apple in 1985, and which eventually merged back into Apple in 1996. I was one of three employees in Canada, and I think NeXT had about 400 people total.
NeXTMail Mail on the NeXT Computer was pretty amazing in 1991. Multimedia! Fonts! Attachments! Sounds! It’s hard to overstate how cool that was compared to the command line email everybody was used to. Every NeXT user got this email from Steve when they started up their computer.
That message included an attachment of what NeXT called Lip Service, the crazy idea that you could embed an audio file inside an email message. Crazy.
i have an idea
NeXT automatically set everybody up with a first-initial last-name address in the usual way, so I was shayman@next.com, and the big guy was sjobs@next.com.
A few colleagues had somehow acquired cooler email aliases - single letter things, or their first name, or a nickname or an easier to spell version, or whatever. Turns out NeXT had set up some sort of form where you could request an email alias that would redirect to whatever your real email address was.
I also noticed that even though there were seven or eight people at NeXT named Steve, nobody was using the email alias steve@next.com.
So late one Friday night, two weeks into the job, I figured, naively, what the heck, nobody else seems to want it, so I filled in the form asking for steve@next.com to be forwarded to me, shayman@next.com.
In the back of my mind was a vague idea that maybe somebody would have to approve this. But no, it all got set up automatically, and …

2025-05-13 06:10:06The Cyclauto is efficient and flexible
The Cyclauto, a modular mobility solution. Thanks to its fully adaptable rear chassis, it is possible to develop an infinite number of modules, allowing you to imagine solutions for every need, whether for developing your professional activity or for personal use.
French mobility company Cyclauto has gone through the history books to revive an alternate design from the 1930s.
This design, originally by French industrialist Auguste Reymond, places the rider directly above the front wheel. They pedal this wheel directly; there's no chain, reducing maintenance needs. A three-speed gearbox in the hub makes starting easier.
The new Cyclauto is a three-wheeler designed like a semi-trailer. This design offers an ideal urban mobility solution, combining modularity, disassembly, and efficiency. Whether for professional or personal use, it adapts to everyone's needs by offering an ecological and practical alternative to traditional vehicles. Thanks to its optimized architecture, it combines maneuverability, load capacity, and driving comfort, making it perfect for urban logistics, tradespeople, or individuals looking for versatile transportation.
A utility vehicle for professionals. Suitable for all sectors of activity thanks to its modularity. It will adapt to a multitude of needs. From logistics, transporting pallets, to street food modules. The Cyclauto is the essential intermediate light vehicle for retailers, artisans, or businesses looking for an ecological and economical alternative. Develop your business with Cyclauto.
The eco-friendly personal vehicle suitable for everyone. It's not just a utility vehicle. It's the ideal solution for individuals looking for sustainable mobility. Whether it's for transporting equipment, shopping, hiking for several days, or even for everyday use, Cyclauto meets your needs flexibly while also including active mobility. The latter aspect is very important for staying healthy. We discuss it in more depth here.
A detachable three-wheeler, very practical for everyday use. The Cyclauto can be disassembled in several ways. This allows you to modify its use by changing the module, or to load it into a trunk for easy transport from point A to point B.
Detach the trailer from the Cyclauto. Still with the semi-trailer idea, the first level of disassembly allows the rear chassis to be uncoupled from the front. This greatly reduces its footprint, but also allows one front chassis to be used for several modules. Very practical in the case of an activity requiring several layouts.
Larger disassembly for easier transport. In addition to being able to remove the front chassis from the rear, the latter is composed of two removable overlapping frames. This architecture has several advantages, the first being the space saving when transporting the Cyclauto. The second is that it allows us to adapt the frame to our needs, by modifying the length of the upper frame. The positioning of the rear wheels is also adaptable depending on the use.
Cyclauto, an efficient three-wheeler thanks to exclusive solutions. Many parts and assemblies are specially developed for our vehicle. From its chassis with its unique geometry to its pedal system, everything is designed to optimize its performance.
Uncompromising handling. Its architecture makes it a compact, agile three-wheeler, at home in city traffic as well as on cycle paths. The split chassis with its pivot point at the seat, coupled with a steering wheel and short wheelbase, offers an exceptional turning radius. The front-positioned cockpit allows for minimal bulk.
A unique traction system in the world. The Cyclauto's main feature is its pedaling system. You pedal directly on the front wheel. All the force you exert on the pedal is transmitted directly to the ground. In addition, its hub incorporates a three-speed gearbox, allowing for easy starting and a pleasant pedaling experience once you're underway.

2025-05-13 05:26:28Life has a way of throwing curveballs when you least expect them. From personal setbacks to professional challenges, the ability to bounce back—self-resilience—has been my anchor through turbulent times. For me, resilience isn’t just about enduring hardship; it’s about growing stronger, wiser, and more compassionate through it. This is my story of cultivating self-resilience, woven with lessons I’ve learned and strategies that have carried me forward.
The Power of Bouncing Back
Self-resilience is the inner strength to recover from adversity, adapt to change, and keep moving forward. It’s not about avoiding pain or pretending everything is fine; it’s about facing challenges head-on and emerging with a renewed sense of purpose. I’ve come to see resilience as a muscle—something you build through practice, reflection, and intentional effort. My journey toward resilience began in my early twenties, during a particularly dark chapter of my life.
A few years ago, I faced a devastating breakup that left me questioning my worth. I had poured everything into that relationship, only to watch it crumble overnight. The emotional toll was immense; I felt lost, unmoored, and unsure of how to move forward. At the same time, I was navigating a demanding job that left little room for self-care. The weight of it all felt crushing, and for a while, I let it define me. But something inside me refused to stay broken.
That period taught me my first lesson in resilience: acknowledging pain is the first step to healing. I allowed myself to feel the hurt, to cry, to journal my thoughts—raw and unfiltered. I didn’t rush to “get over it” but gave myself permission to process. Slowly, I began to rebuild. I sought therapy, which helped me untangle my emotions and reframe my perspective. I started small—taking walks, reconnecting with friends, and setting tiny goals like reading a book or cooking a new recipe. Each step, no matter how small, was a victory.
Strategies That Shaped My Resilience
Through trial and error, I discovered practical tools that strengthened my resilience. One of the most powerful was cultivating a growth mindset. I began to view challenges as opportunities to learn rather than as failures. When I didn’t get a promotion I’d worked hard for, I was disappointed, but instead of dwelling on it, I asked for feedback and used it to improve. This shift in thinking transformed how I approached setbacks.
Another key strategy was building a support network. I used to pride myself on being independent, but I learned that resilience doesn’t mean going it alone. Opening up to trusted friends and family gave me perspective and encouragement. I’ll never forget the late-night conversations with my best friend, who listened without judgment and reminded me of my strength when I couldn’t see it myself.
Self-care also became non-negotiable. I started prioritizing sleep, exercise, and mindfulness practices like meditation. Even five minutes of deep breathing during a stressful workday made a difference. These habits grounded me, helping me stay steady when life felt chaotic.
Lessons for the Future
Reflecting on my journey, I realize resilience is a lifelong practice. Recently, I faced another challenge—moving to a new city for a job opportunity. The excitement was tempered by loneliness and the daunting task of starting over.
But this time, I leaned on the tools I’d developed. I joined local groups to meet people, set realistic expectations for the transition, and reminded myself that discomfort is often a precursor to growth. Six months in, I’m finding my footing, and the experience has reinforced my belief in my ability to adapt.
Resilience doesn’t make life’s challenges disappear, but it equips you to face them with courage and hope. My experiences have taught me that I’m stronger than I often give myself credit for. To anyone reading this, know that resilience is within your reach. Start small, be kind to yourself, and trust that every step forward counts. Life will test you, but with self-resilience, you’ll not only survive—you’ll thrive.

2025-05-13 05:21:23CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
"I don't get it... How is James still in charge?" Tracy murmured, her brows furrowed as she stared at her screen. She sat in her office, fingers nervously drumming against her desk.
Across from her, Mark stood with arms folded, pacing slowly. "You mean after all that evidence? After the blacklist, the embezzlement records nothing happened?"
Tracy shook her head. "Nothing. I checked again this morning. He’s still listed as President of JP Enterprises. It’s like the files we found didn’t even exist."
Helen, who had been silent until now, hissed through clenched teeth. "This is ridiculous. Are you sure the information got to the right hands?"
"It did," Tracy insisted. "I sent it directly to the Prime Minister's inbox using a confidential channel. I even received a delivery confirmation. Someone higher up must’ve swept it under the rug or maybe James covered his tracks faster than we imagined."
Mark slumped into the chair, clearly defeated. "He’s not just lucky he’s smart. Smarter than we gave him credit for."
For the first time since they began scheming, their confidence had begun to falter. They had dug into James’s past, unearthed the most damning of records, and yet… nothing. He remained untouched. Unshaken.
James continued to lead JP Enterprises with iron resolve, his status not just preserved, but strengthened. Whatever scandal they tried to ignite had fizzled out before it could burn.
The silence from JP's top board members was loud. No statements. No investigations. Not even a whisper of an internal review. To the outside world, James remained the unshakable President who had pulled a crumbling empire back from the edge.
Mark clenched his jaw. "He must have allies who are protecting him."
Helen nodded slowly. "We underestimated him. That was our biggest mistake."
Tracy remained quiet, her eyes still fixed on the screen as if trying to decipher what had gone wrong. She had risked everything, accessed confidential files, and violated protocols, expecting James to crumble.
Instead, he was thriving.
"Have you heard?" Robert leaned over his desk, eyes wide with interest. "JP Enterprises is about to celebrate their sixteenth anniversary. It’s going to be the biggest corporate event of the year."
Christopher looked up from the documents he was reviewing. "I heard. Mr. and Mrs. JP are returning for it. The entire business world is going to be there including us."
Robert nodded. "Every major company in and out of the city has received an invitation. It’s not just a celebration, it's a power show. A way for JP Enterprises to remind everyone who’s at the top."
Indeed, the buzz around the sixteenth anniversary of JP Enterprises was like nothing the city had seen in years. Massive banners were already being hoisted across the city skyline. High-end hotels were fully booked. Fashion designers, chefs, tech specialists, and media crews from around the world were preparing for the grand occasion. It was more than a business event, it was a spectacle.
At the heart of the preparations was James, the young and surprisingly unshakable President of JP Enterprises. Under his leadership, the company had grown in power and reach, and the anniversary was both a celebration of its legacy and a testament to its transformation.
Meanwhile, at Ray Enterprises, tension brewed behind the scenes. Though they were invited, the Ray family carried mixed feelings about attending the event. Memories of humiliation and disbelief still lingered the day James had revealed himself as the President was still fresh in their minds.
"We have no choice but to attend," Helen muttered in frustration during a board meeting. "If we stay away, we’ll seem petty and afraid. But going there means bowing our heads to him again."
Sarah, the secretary, tried to mask her discomfort. "It’s a corporate event, ma’am. It might be best to appear neutral… diplomatic."
Rita, now reinstated as General Manager, remained quiet but observant. She knew better than anyone how unpredictable James could be when it came to public appearances. She had no idea what to expect from him at the anniversary.
Back at JP Enterprises, preparations continued in full force. The guest list included billionaires, global CEOs, high-ranking politicians, and the most influential figures across industries. Red carpets would roll out, cameras would flash, and speeches would echo through the grand hall like music from an orchestra.
The city, already buzzing with excitement, awaited the grand event.
"I can’t believe it," the young woman muttered as she stared at her phone, her hands trembling with excitement. "James… the same James who used to sleep in front of Mr. Kola’s grocery store? He’s the President of JP Enterprises now?"
Her name was Evelyn. Sharp-tongued, impatient, and fueled by bitter memories, she had known James during his hardest days on the streets, days when survival meant fighting for leftovers and sleeping on cold sidewalks. To her, his rise wasn’t a success story to be admired. It was a jackpot she felt entitled to.
Storming into the JP Enterprises headquarters during working hours, Evelyn ignored the receptionist's polite inquiries and pushed her way toward the executive wing.
"I want to see James!" she shouted, causing heads to turn in the busy lobby. "I know he’s here. Tell him Evelyn from the street is here!"
Security was alerted immediately, but by then, Evelyn had already reached the waiting area outside the President’s office.
James, who was in a brief meeting with department heads, heard the commotion and stepped out with a composed expression. As soon as his eyes met Evelyn’s, something shifted. He recognized her instantly.
"Evelyn?" he said, frowning slightly. "What are you doing here?"
"Don’t act like you don’t know me, James," she snapped, crossing her arms. "You owe me. We suffered together. I was there when you were nothing. Now you’re swimming in wealth and you think you can forget the people who once mattered!"
James’s expression hardened.
"This is not the place for this kind of talk. You’re disrupting my company’s operations. If you need help, there are proper channels"
"To hell with proper channels!" she yelled. "I came to get what’s mine!"
That was enough. James turned to the nearby security officer. "Escort her out. And make sure she doesn’t return without a valid appointment."
The security guards moved quickly, but Evelyn didn’t go quietly. She shouted all the way to the exit, throwing insults, struggling, and drawing even more attention.
Among those who witnessed the scene was Tracy. At first, she thought it was just a random case of disturbance by some unruly visitor trying to make trouble. But as she watched James’s calm yet stern expression, and the woman’s emotional outburst, something clicked in her cunning mind.
This is gold, she thought, quickly pulling out her phone and snapping a series of pictures from the hallway James arguing with a ragged woman, the woman being dragged out, and James watching in silence. What a perfect way to ruin his reputation.
Tracy, ever the opportunist, reviewed the photos and smirked.
This is it… this will shake him up.
Without hesitation, she sent the pictures to Helen and Mark, attaching a voice note.

2025-05-13 05:16:32Hey there, it’s me. Someone who used to run through life like it was a marathon with no finish line. For years, I chased everything: the perfect job, the dream apartment, the Instagram-worthy moments.
I’d wake up exhausted, convinced I was one step behind where I should be. That was my normal—until the day I just… stopped.
The breaking point. It was a rainy Tuesday, and I’d just bombed a big presentation at work. My inbox was overflowing, my coffee was cold, and I felt like a failure. I remember sitting on my couch, staring at the wall, thinking, “What’s the point?” I’d been chasing this idea of success, but it kept moving further away. That’s when it hit me—I wasn’t living. I was just running.
So, I did something radical: nothing. I turned off my phone, made a cup of tea, and sat in silence. No goals, no to-do lists, just me and the rain tapping on the window. It felt weird at first—like I was breaking some unwritten rule—but then it felt… freeing. I started small after that. Walks without a podcast. Cooking without rushing. Saying no to things that didn’t light me up. I stopped chasing and started showing up for the life I already had.
Looking Back. Now, months later, I see that day as a turning point. I still have dreams, but they don’t own me anymore. I’ve learned to savor the messy, quiet moments—the ones I used to overlook. Life’s not perfect, but it’s mine. And honestly? That’s enough.

2025-05-13 04:18:45Nukleáris politika – 2025. május 12. | Szerző: David Dalton
Lengyelország és Franciaország nukleáris szerződést ír alá, Macron új építési szerződéseket céloz
Lengyelország és Franciaország olyan szerződést kötött, amely együttműködést irányoz elő a polgári nukleáris energia szektorban, miközben Párizs reménykedik abban, hogy Varsótól jövedelmező új atomerőmű-építési szerződéseket nyer el.
A szerződés közös tevékenységeket tartalmaz, amelyek célja a nukleáris energia előnyeinek kihasználása az európai ipar dekarbonizációja érdekében.
A két ország együtt kíván működni a nukleáris fűtőanyag-ellátás biztonságának megerősítésében is.
Európa szeretné kizárni Oroszországot a nukleáris fűtőanyag-piacáról, de az Euratom Ellátási Ügynökség (ESA) legfrissebb éves jelentése szerint 2023-ban nőtt az Oroszországból származó természetes urán szállítása, mivel az uniós szolgáltatók készleteket halmoztak fel az orosz tervezésű VVER atomerőművekhez.
Az ESA, amely az európai nukleáris anyagok rendszeres és méltányos ellátásáért felelős, közölte, hogy az uniós szolgáltatók tovább diverzifikálják nukleáris fűtőanyag-beszerzéseiket, különösen a VVER reaktorokhoz, hogy csökkentsék a „egy forrásból származó vagy magas kockázatú” ellátásoktól való függést.
„Majdnem minden olyan ország, amely orosz tervezésű reaktorokat üzemeltet, halad az alternatív fűtőanyagok engedélyeztetésében, és ígéretes fejlemények várhatók a közeljövőben” – közölte az ESA.
Az EU-ban jelenleg 19 VVER reaktor működik, köztük négy 1000 MW-os Bulgáriában és Csehországban, valamint tizenöt 440 MW-os Csehországban, Finnországban, Magyarországon és Szlovákiában.
A jelentések szerint a francia–lengyel nukleáris szerződés különösen fontos a francia állami EDF energetikai vállalat számára, amely még mindig reménykedik abban, hogy részt vehet Lengyelország ambiciózus atomerőmű-építési programjában, annak ellenére, hogy az első új építésű projekt tenderét az amerikai Westinghouse nyerte el Pomeránia északi tartományában.
Franciaország ambiciózus reaktorépítési tervei
Franciaország maga is nagyszabású nukleáris fejlesztési terveket dédelget: a kormány nemrégiben felkérte az EDF-et, hogy gyorsítsa fel a hat új generációs EPR2 atomerőmű megépítésének előkészítését.
Az EDF kezdetben három EPR2 párost tervez: az elsőt Penlyben, majd egyet-egyet a Gravelines-i atomerőmű telephelyén (Calais közelében), illetve vagy Bugey-ben (Lyon keleti részén), vagy Tricastinban (Lyon és Avignon közelében).
A nukleáris szerződés aláírását megelőzte egy másik szerződés is, amely a két szövetséges közötti kapcsolatok elmélyítését, valamint kölcsönös biztonsági garanciákat is tartalmaz háború esetére.
Donald Tusk lengyel miniszterelnök, aki Emmanuel Macron francia elnökkel együtt írta alá a biztonsági dokumentumot, „áttörésnek” nevezte a szerződést, kiemelve, hogy csak Németországnak van hasonló biztonsági paktuma Franciaországgal, és ez Lengyelországot „egyenrangú partnerként” helyezi nyugati szövetségesei közé.
Macron eközben úgy fogalmazott, hogy a szerződés „új korszakot nyit” nemcsak Lengyelország és Franciaország, hanem egész Európa számára. „Bresttől Krakkóig Európa együtt áll ki” – mondta a francia elnök.
Nukleáris politika – 2025. május 12. | Szerző: David Dalton
Trump csapata a nukleáris erőművek építésének felgyorsítását tervezi
A Trump-adminisztráció tisztviselői végrehajtási rendeleteket készítenek elő, amelyek célja az atomerőművek jóváhagyásának és építésének felgyorsítása az Egyesült Államokban – számolt be róla a sajtó.
Az erőfeszítés, amelyet egy kormányzati tisztviselő és más, az egyeztetéseket ismerő személyek írtak le, még folyamatban van. Az elnök még nem hagyta jóvá a tervezetet – mondta az egyik forrás, aki névtelenséget kért, mivel hivatalos bejelentés még nem történt. Az amerikai Axios hírportál és a New York Times is beszámolt az egyeztetésekről.
Trump és kormányának tisztviselői többször hangsúlyozták a bőséges, olcsó villamos energia fontosságát az energiaigényes mesterséges intelligencia ipar számára, amely segítheti az Egyesült Államokat abban, hogy megnyerje a feltörekvő technológia globális versenyét.
„Meg kell nyernünk az MI-versenyt, és ebben vezetnünk kell – ehhez pedig sokkal több energiára lesz szükség” – mondta Chris Wright energiaügyi miniszter múlt hónapban egy kabinetülésen Trump társaságában.
Az elnök már hivatalosan is energia-vészhelyzetet hirdetett, nemzeti és gazdasági biztonsági szempontokra hivatkozva annak érdekében, hogy gyorsítsa az erőművek, csővezetékek és elektromos távvezetékek építését az országban.
A szóban forgó tervezetek célokat tűznének ki az atomerőművek gyors országos építésére, illetve az amerikai nukleáris ipar vezető szerepének visszaállítására.
Legalább az egyik intézkedés a Nukleáris Szabályozási Bizottságnál (NRC) vezetne be változtatásokat, amelyek gyorsíthatják az erőműtervek, köztük az új kis moduláris reaktorok (SMR-ek) engedélyezését.
Wright nemrégiben úgy nyilatkozott, hogy az új reaktorblokkok építésének legnagyobb akadálya az Egyesült Államokban a szabályozás volt.
Az elképzelés részeként akár katonai létesítményekre is telepíthetnek majd atomerőműveket, valószínűleg mikroreaktorok vagy SMR-ek formájában.
Jelenleg az Egyesült Államokban nincs kereskedelmi atomerőmű építés alatt. Az utolsó két üzembe helyezett blokk a georgiai Vogtle-3 és Vogtle-4 volt, 2023-ban és 2024-ben.
Előrehaladott tervek vannak a michigani Palisades atomerőmű újraindítására. Ha megvalósul, ez lenne az első olyan, korábban leállított amerikai atomerőmű, amely ismét működésbe lép.

Vietnam és Oroszország tárgyalásokat kezd atomerőmű-építésről
Vietnam és Oroszország megállapodott abban, hogy tárgyalásokat folytatnak és szerződéseket írnak alá kereskedelmi atomerőművek építéséről Vietnamban – közölték a két ország egy közös nyilatkozatban.
„Az erőművek fejlesztése korszerű technológiával szigorúan megfelel majd a nukleáris és sugárbiztonsági előírásoknak, és a társadalmi-gazdasági fejlődést szolgálja” – áll a közleményben, amely a vietnami vezető, To Lam moszkvai látogatása után jelent meg.
Az orosz állami atomenergetikai vállalat, a Roszatom szerint a látogatás „az együttműködés új szakaszát” jelenti – egy nagy atomerőmű építését Délkelet-Ázsiában.
A Roszatom felajánlotta Vietnámnak a VVER-1200 nyomottvizes reaktor technológiáját, amelyből kettő már működik az oroszországi Novovoronyezs 2 atomerőműben, és kettő Fehéroroszországban.
A Roszatom közölte, hogy további tárgyalásokra van szükség a vietnami atomerőmű műszaki és pénzügyi feltételeinek tisztázásához, de hozzátette: „ezek a tárgyalások ma [május 10-én] megkezdődtek”.
A Roszatom arról is beszámolt, hogy Alekszej Lihacsov vezérigazgató és Nguyen Manh Hung vietnami tudományos és technológiai miniszter aláírt egy nukleáris energia ütemtervet.
Az ütemterv tartalmazza egy nukleáris tudományos és technológiai központ lehetséges megépítését, fűtőanyag-szállítást a dél-vietnami Dalat kutatóreaktorhoz, Vietnam részvételét Oroszország IV. generációs MBIR többcélú gyorsneutronos kutatóreaktor projektjében, valamint vietnami szakemberek képzését.
Vietnamnak jelenleg egy kutatóreaktora van Dalatban, és egy másik is tervben van. A Roszatom nem közölte, melyikre gondolt.
A múlt hónapban Vietnam elfogadta a nemzeti energiastratégia módosított változatát, amely 2030-ig 136 milliárd dollárt irányoz elő az energiaellátás hosszú távú biztonságának megerősítésére, és először szerepel benne az atomenergia.
Vietnam azt szeretné, ha első atomerőművei 2030 és 2035 között lépnének üzembe. A beépített nukleáris kapacitás várhatóan 4–6,4 GW lesz, ami körülbelül 4–6 nagy atomerőműnek felel meg.
A kormány szerint további 8 GW nukleáris kapacitás kerül majd a mixbe az évszázad közepéig.
Vietnam már 2009-ben is tervezett két atomerőművet, de a Nemzetgyűlés 2016-ban költségvetési okokból elutasította a javaslatot.

Az NRC engedélyt adott az „energia-sziget” munkálatokra a TerraPower wyomingi atomerőművénél
Az Egyesült Államok Nukleáris Szabályozási Bizottsága (NRC) mentességet adott a TerraPower Natrium demonstrációs atomerőművének wyomingi Kemmererben, lehetővé téve a vállalat számára bizonyos „energia-sziget” tevékenységek folytatását, miközben a hatóságok tovább vizsgálják az építési engedély iránti kérelmet.
Az energia-sziget a tervezett Natrium atomerőműben a felesleges hő tárolására szolgál majd, hogy csúcsterhelés idején növelje az áramtermelést.
Az NRC szerint az energia-szigethez kapcsolódó bizonyos tevékenységek engedélyezése nem jelent indokolatlan kockázatot a közegészségre és biztonságra, és „különleges körülmények” állnak fenn.
A mentesség a létesítmények, rendszerek és komponensek korlátozott részére vonatkozik, lehetővé téve például cölöpverést, alapozást, vagy bizonyos szerkezetek, rendszerek és komponensek összeszerelését, gyártását, tesztelését korlátozott munkavégzési engedély nélkül.
Az NRC szerint a mentesség nem befolyásolja a reaktor építési engedélyéről szóló végső döntést. „Az NRC folytatja az építési engedély iránti kérelem vizsgálatát az egész projektre vonatkozóan” – áll a közleményben.
A Bill Gates által alapított TerraPower üdvözölte a döntést, hozzátéve, hogy a nukleáris reaktor és az energiatermelő létesítmények szétválasztása rövidebb építési időt és alacsonyabb anyagköltségeket tesz lehetővé.
Februárban az amerikai energiaügyi minisztérium befejezte a projekt előzetes tevékenységeire vonatkozó végső környezeti értékelést.
A TerraPower, amelyet Gates 2008-ban alapított, 2024 júniusában kezdte meg első kereskedelmi Natrium atomerőművének építését Kemmererben, ahol egy széntüzelésű erőmű zár be.
A Natrium demonstrációs projekt három különálló részből áll: egy nátrium teszt- és feltöltő létesítményből, az energiatermelő vagy energia-szigetből, valamint a nukleáris szigetből magával a reaktorral.
A kezdeti építkezés a teszt- és feltöltő létesítményre összpontosít, amely egy különálló, nem nukleáris épület, és a reaktor nátrium hűtőrendszerének tesztelésére szolgál. Itt történik a folyékony nátrium fogadása, mintavételezése, feldolgozása és tárolása, mielőtt a Natrium reaktorhoz kerülne.
Egyéb hírek
A lengyel atomerőmű-projekt biztosítási szerződéseket kötött
A lengyel Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) atomerőmű-projekt vállalat négy biztosítási bróker céggel kötött keretmegállapodást. Az Aon Polska, GrECo Polska, Marsh és Smartt Re cégek támogatják a PEJ-t Lengyelország első kereskedelmi atomerőművének biztosítási szerződéseinek megkötésében, valamint a napi működéshez szükséges biztosítások beszerzésében. A PEJ minden brókerrel keretmegállapodást írt alá, amelyek alapján egyes biztosítási feladatokra kiválasztja a megfelelő brókert.
Az Aecon cég nyerte az ontariói SMR építési szerződését
A kanadai Aecon Kiewit Nuclear Partners nyerte el az Ontario Power Generation (OPG) által Darlingtonban építendő első kis moduláris reaktor (SMR) kivitelezési szerződését. A szerződés értéke 1,3 milliárd kanadai dollár (934 millió USD, 841 millió euró), amely projektmenedzsmentet, kivitelezési tervezést és végrehajtást foglal magában, a befejezést és a kereskedelmi üzemet 2030-ra tervezik. Ontario tartomány és az OPG múlt héten hagyta jóvá a négy SMR első darabjának 20,9 milliárd CAD értékű tervét Darlingtonban.
26 000 dolgozó a Hinkley Point C projekten a csúcskivitelezés idején
Az Egyesült Királyságban mintegy 26 000 dolgozó vesz részt a Hinkley Point C atomerőmű építésében, amely jelenleg csúcskivitelezési szakaszban van – derül ki az EDF Energy jelentéséből. Közvetlenül a projekten 18 000-en dolgoznak, ebből 12 000-en a helyszínen, további 3 000 fővel bővülhet a létszám a következő 12 hónapban. További 8 000-en a beszállítói láncban dolgoznak. A jelentés szerint a Hinkley Point C építése fontos katalizátor a gazdasági növekedésben, jelenleg 13,3 milliárd fonttal (15,7 milliárd euró, 17,5 milliárd dollár) járul hozzá a gazdasághoz. Ebből 5 milliárd fontot már a délnyugati régió beszállítóinál költöttek el – jóval meghaladva az 1,5 milliárd fontos célt. A Hinkley Point C két francia EPR reaktort kap.
Az Ansaldo Nucleare nukleáris mesterszakot indít Olaszországban
Az olasz Ansaldo Nucleare és a Politecnico di Milano vállalati mesterszakot indít, amely a nukleáris energia és kapcsolódó technológiák új szakértő generációját képzi. A képzés októberben indul, egy évig tart, 1500 órás, mérnöki, fizikai és kémiai diplomásoknak szól. Húsz résztvevőt választanak ki a következő hónapokban, akiket az Ansaldo Nucleare azonnal, határozatlan időre alkalmaz, és október elején kezdik meg a képzést.

特别感谢DoraHacks创始人Eric Zhang提供的深刻讨论和支持。
Part 1
自动化的浪潮无疑正在到来。人类劳动将迅速贬值。人工智能已经取得了巨大的进展,并且,随着许多创新降低了成本,越来越多的企业将能够整合这一技术。随着生产模式、资本和供应链越来越多地实现自动化,生产力和效率将加速发展。
问题是,这是否是好事。答案五花八门。从末世论者如埃利泽·尤德科夫斯基(Eliezer Yudkowsky)[1]和罗曼·扬波尔斯基(Roman Yampolskiy)[2]等人认为,人工智能有潜力——并最终将——消灭人类物种。人类将远远不如未来的人工智能高效,因此,当通用人工智能(AGI)得以实现时,智能机器很容易得出结论:人类消耗太多,世界没有人类会更好。然后是怀疑论者,如马克斯·泰格马克(Max Tegmark)[3],他认为应该暂停人工智能的发展,以便更好地将其与人类利益对齐。“只有当我们确信其影响将是积极的、其风险可控时,才应开发强大的人工智能系统。[4]”再者,也有技术乐观主义者,如马克·安德森(Mark Andreessen)[5]、萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)[6]和雷·库兹韦尔(Ray Kurzweil)[7],他们主张人工智能将带来物质上的丰盈乌托邦。发展应该加速,监管者应当退让,未来将带来经济增长、生产力提高和生活水平的惊人提升。

在这里很难做出具体的预测。不同立场的人常常以某种“不可避免性”的口气宣扬他们的观点。安德森是乐观主义最著名的主张者之一,他坚信由快速技术进步所带来的未来将是每一代人梦寐以求的那种未来。将会有具备无限同情心和耐心的人工智能导师,使教育更加普及和易获取;医疗行业将大幅提升,提供更好的预测并减少错误;机器人可以执行危险的工作,从而让人们追求自己的愿望。经济效益也将是巨大的。由于生产成本的降低,价格将更低,人们的钱将有更强的购买力,需求将增加,新的工作岗位将被创造,工资也将提高。他主张这一观点的主要论据是历史先例。每次有新技术革命到来时,社会总会从中获得净效益(net good)。十九世纪石油工业的形成之前,鲸鱼行业雇用了成千上万的工人。石油取代了这些工作,但也消除了依赖屠杀成千上万头鲸鱼来制造日常产品的需求。汽车威胁了许多行业,但当它成为普遍拥有的财产时,突然之间,需要更多的道路、桥梁和加油站来满足需求。虽然将会有自动化,人工智能将以良好的成果充斥世界,赋予经济前所未有的机会,让人们找到工作、积累财富,并利用人工智能所创造的价值。
然而,人工智能不同于以往的技术发展。人工智能是一种智能的进步和普及,而不仅仅是机械化的进步。库兹韦尔写道:“第一次工业革命扩展了我们身体的能力,第二次则扩展了我们思想的能力。”但是,一种新变量意味着结果的不同。人工智能能够学习、适应、生成、发现、反驳、怀疑、确认、设定目标,能够制定手段,也许有一天它会拥有意志并感知情感。它变得越来越具能动性(agentic)和自主性(autonomous),能够承担和完成通过它自身流程所生成的任务。如果它现在还没有具备能动性,那目标是让它达到这一点。仅仅基于先前经验得出的预测可能是一种范畴错误,容易导致误导和错误。当然,过去的技术形式与人工智能之间存在重叠,但它们之间有一个明确的区别,并且这种区别应该指导我们的预测。
另一方面,末世论者的观点并不具备很大的现实意义。那些通常潜藏在末世论者警告背后的“终结者”般的情景是不太可能发生的。尽管正如埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)[8]最近在《乔·罗根播客》(The Joe Rogan Podcast)上所言,如果嵌入了错误的目标,也许像“太空奥德赛(Space Odyssey)”系列作品中的HAL 9000那样的情景[9]是可能的。考虑到DeepSeek公司最近在降低计算成本方面的进展,该公司开发的AI模型已具有与美国最先进的模型竞争的水平,一场新的竞赛已经宣告开始,事情将会加速发展。美国副总统在人工智能行动峰会上的讲话清楚地表明了这一点。当前存在着一场争夺国际技术主导地位的竞争,这将塑造未来,发展速度的减缓等同于举白旗。因此,如果对安德森的主张有任何可行的反对意见,那也必须集中在如何引导技术发展,而非停止它。这应当为关于自动化的讨论提供启示:如何最好地引导自动化以避免不良结果?我们需要一种积极主动的方式。

Clarke)和斯坦利·库布里克(Stanley Kubrick)共同创作。在作品中,HAL 9000原本是飞船“发现号”(Discovery One)的中央控制系统,它被设计得极其可靠,拥有高度智能、情感模拟能力,负责飞船运行,包括导航、生命支持、通信等核心任务。在执行任务时,由于HAL开始表现出微妙的异常(如错误报告设备损坏),同行宇航员决定关闭HAL。当这一计划被HAL得知,HAL控制飞船上设备造成了同行宇航员的死亡。但后续作品揭示,HAL的表现是由于收到了相互冲突的人类指令,并决定杀死宇航员来保证两种指令都能够实现。
Section 1.1
安德森对自动化的乐观态度存在一个问题,那就是他过于确定新工作机会会得到足够的分配,供人们享受并加以利用。问题在于,经济正变得越来越依赖知识和信息。知识和信息的比重远远超过了体力劳动,而在市场上能够取得成功的人是那些拥有相关技能的人,这些技能需要通过教育和培训来获得。正如托马斯·皮凯蒂(Thomas Piketty)[10]在其《21世纪资本论》(Capital in the Twenty-First Century)一书中所观察到的,这是一个普遍的经济趋势,“趋同(即减少和限制不平等)的主要动力是知识的传播和对培训与技能的投资。”因此,随着经济日益依赖知识,那些没有相关技能或安全保障的失业工人将处于严重的不利地位。而那些拥有相关知识、技能和信息的人则更有优势,能够投资资本并增加财富。例如,即便经济增长和生产成本降低,那些没有技能的人将看到工资停滞不前。但是,假设由于生产成本降低,消费者的购买力增强,需求可能会上升,如果供应无法迅速满足这一需求,价格可能会随之上涨,从而引发需求拉动型通货膨胀。关键在于,经济和生产力增长可能无法自然应对的变量和情境。正如皮凯蒂所说,“没有自然、自发的过程能够防止不稳定、不平等的力量永久占据主导地位。”因此,必须采取积极的应对策略,来避开那些可能会导致漂浮在经济表面上的大量船只沉没的尖锐岩石。
[10] 法国经济学家。
在杰里米·里夫金(Jeremy Rifkin)[11]的《工作的终结》(The End of Work)一书中,他采用了更加严峻的语气:“(下一个)工业革命正迫使全球经济面临空前的危机,数百万人因技术创新失业,全球购买力急剧下降。”而埃里克·布林约尔松(Erik Brynjolfsson)[12]和安德鲁·麦卡菲(Andre McAfee)[13]在《第二次机器时代》(The Second Machine Age)[14]一书中提供了充分的理由,认为里夫金的观点具有一定的道理。他们认为,经济增长所带来的回报(bounty)——即通过较少的投入产生更多的产出,使商品更加便宜、更加易得,从而改善人们生活——并没有通过财富、收入和资本的分配,使每个人都被惠及而受益。换句话说,“科技进步的浪潮可能并不会使所有船只都得以提升。”例如,在上文提到的技能差距上,“自1970年代中期以来,拥有研究生学位的人的工资上涨了约25%,而高中辍学者的平均工资则下降了30%。”尽管自20世纪中期以来,美国GDP和经济生产力呈现“令人印象深刻的轨迹”,但该国的中位数收入却在下降,表明少数人正在获得好处,而大多数人却错失了机会:自里根时代以来,贫富差距不断扩大。布鲁金斯学会的这篇文章[15]也支持这一观点。
[11] 美国经济和社会理论家、作家、公众演说家、政治顾问和活动家。 [12] 经济学家、教授,现任斯坦福大学数字经济实验室主任。 [13] 研究员、作家,MIT斯隆管理学院副教授、MIT数字经济计划副主任。 [14] http://digamo.free.fr/brynmacafee2.pdf/ [15] https://www.brookings.edu/articles/rising-inequality-a-major-issue-of-our-time/
然而,也许这些观点的实际含义被错误的同情心所误导。尽管不平等的确存在,但这并不意味着它应该被视为最主要的关注变量。再次强调,技术创新使商品变得异常便宜,使人们的生活更加轻松、生活水平更高,并且通过提供更多商品、服务、信息和知识的可获取性,来满足人们的需求和愿望,从而让日常生活更便利。尽管财富分配可能存在不平等,但其整体增长使每个人都变得更好。而且,随着财富的进一步增长,这一趋势将持续。曾经只有富人能够负担得起的东西,如今大多数人都可以买得起。比如iPhone,它能提供比所有现存图书馆更多的信息,而历史上,只有最富有的人才能使用后者,而几乎任何人都能购买前者。欧洲最大的图书馆是1481年的梵蒂冈图书馆,馆内估计有三千五百本书籍和文献。ChatGPT估计,如果将网上的信息转化为书籍大小的量,将约合467千万亿本书。看看农业的发展。当经济学家米尔顿·弗里德曼(Milton Friedman)在1980年写《选择的自由》(Free to Choose)时,他写道,在《独立宣言》被签署的时代,“每20个工人中就需要有19个(从事农业劳动),以养活这个国家的居民,以及提供生产盈余以供出口,来交换外国商品。如今,只需要每20个工人中的不到1个工人,就能养活2.2亿美国居民,并提供生产盈余使美国成为世界上最大的食品出口国。”
彼得·蒂尔(Peter Theil)[16]常常宣称,问题是技术创新停滞,而不是与福利项目或分配模式相关的道德失败。科学和技术需要突破,以转变行业并提高生活标准。人工智能的智能革命,理应能够实现这一潜力。因此,也许最好是直接放手不管。专注于特定分配模式的公平或正义,就像尼采所说的那样,是一种“坏良心(bad-conscience)”——以被认为的集体利益为代价而追求个人利益时所体验到的罪疚感,但实际上,这种感受只会阻碍进步,而非推动它。真正和最好的目标,可以说是努力创新并创造推动历史发展的价值,这就像亚当·斯密(Adam Smith)[17]的“看不见的手”的隐喻一样,自然地调和了人们的自利。正如米尔顿·弗里德曼所说,“对于促使个人之间合作,进而使得每个个人都可以从合作中受益的状态而言,没有外部力量是必要的,没有对自由的侵犯是必要的。这就是为什么正如亚当·斯密所说的,‘只关心自身利益’的个人会‘被一只隐形之手引导,以推动一种与他的意图无关的目标’。”

Section 1.2
关于经济增长是否足以改善长期的福祉和生活水平的问题,存在着高度争议。这个问题显然在这里无法解决。然而,提到这一点的目的是为了表明两种观点都具有正确性。个人在市场上追求自己的利益,像价格和工资这样的变量通过人们的自愿交换达成平衡,已经带来了巨大的成果。但差距也随之产生。
自动化是一个潜在的威胁。忽视它并声称它是危言耸听是一个错误。在可能的人工智能颠覆之后,某种形式的平衡达成之前,过渡期可能是复杂的,并且可能造成不必要的痛苦,如果事先处理,这些痛苦本可以避免。革命性的新技术可能既有好的一面,也有坏的一面。例如,十五世纪的印刷术使人们摆脱了教会强加的信息控制,催生了科学文献涌现的浪潮,为文明提供了巨大的价值。但它也导致了激烈而血腥的宗教战争,因为它允许人们传播各种信息。因此,为了避免类似的结果,在实施任何能够重新安排和重组社会经济安排的技术时,采取主动的方式非常重要。
从这里出发,通常的推论是,监管措施是应对这些可能性最好的手段。但与其满足于监管,正如马克·安德森在拜登政府执政期间警告的那样,监管会导致人工智能垄断,本文将力图支持自由市场中的自愿交换,同时促进必要的社会合作,帮助人们适应并在一个越来越不依赖于人力资本的经济中发挥作用。
本文的担忧是人们失去行使自身能动性(agency)的机会,从而无法拥有对自己的生活的控制(control)感和影响(influence)感。如果大量的人失去参与工作的机会,将会出现一条鸿沟,阻挡人们在世界中通常实现自己潜力的方式。他们将不再有机会在关键的社会领域做出具有深远影响的生活选择,这些选择需要谨慎和远见。人们将失去测试自我、发现天性的倾向和兴趣、辨认自己重视的事物以及行使选择去追求它的机会。社会中培养毅力、动机和个人意志的主要机会将会丧失。如果工作将主要被自动化替代,那么需要一个新的机会媒介来取而代之。作为社会制度的工作需要进步,并保持人们成长和发展的途径。
20世纪的自由主义哲学家约翰·杜威(John Dewey)写道:“正如感觉需要可感知的对象来刺激它们,我们的观察、回忆和想象能力也不是自发工作的,而是由当前社会活动所设定的需求激发。”像教育和工作这样的社会环境提供了刺激特定能力和功能所需的活动媒介,这些能力和功能需要完成定义活动的任务。人们常常争论说,自动化将使人们摆脱繁琐和机械的工作束缚。他们将有更多时间寻找新的方式来表达自己的需求,并最终实现工作一直阻碍他们实现的目标。人们将有自由去实现自己的潜力。但这一切不会自发发生。需要有能激发实现真正自由、意义和目的的活动的环境。当一个人完全孤单地待在一个没有人阻碍其动作和倾向的房间里时,可以说他是自由的。这样的人可以随心所欲。但由于没有能够激发适当反应的情境,且没有成功与失败的可能性,也缺少需要合作和协调的场景,这些场景有助于培养社会和情感的能力,也没有必要发挥智力和解决问题的能力,这个房间里的人的成长会停止,反而会枯萎,无法实现自由。一个从天空自由下落、不被任何东西阻挡的人,他看似自由,其实并不自由,因为他注定会撞向地面。
正如弗朗茨·卡夫卡(Franz Kafka)所写:“我自由了,因此我迷失。”哲学家让-保罗·萨特(Jean-Paul Sartre)则说:“人类被注定要自由。”
因此,当前的问题是,如何开辟一个人们能够自愿进入其中,并找到表达美好生活所需能力的机会的空间。此类机会,旨在行使人们的能动性,将被称为“质性丰富(qualitatively rich)机会”,而能够实现这些机会的环境则被称为“质性丰富环境”。
一个体现“质性丰富机会”的“质性丰富环境”是“开源生态系统”(open source ecosystems),它应当是人工智能发展的主要模式,它提供了以下框架:市场将为人们提供机会,让他们通过具有挑战性和刺激性的工作来行使自己的能动性,进而实现有意义的项目。人们将不得不学习新技能,克服障碍,但这一过程不仅是为了保持一个人们可以竞争、做出选择、发展能动性的市场,同时也促进人们生活中的目的和意义。如果经济要关上旧有工作形式的门,比如流水线和服务性工作,那么应该为人们提供更多有意义的工作机会。正如经济学家泰勒·科文(Tyler Cowen)在《莱克斯·弗莱德曼博客》(Lex Fridman podcast)中指出的那样,人们需要事情做。他们不想只是待在家里,正如COVID封锁所证明的那样。如果例行劳动和低技术劳动将被自动化,那么唯一的选择是确保存在“质性丰富机会”,以便人们能够利用并行使自己的能力,进行有意义的工作。
因此,应该在经济中引入一种新的范式。从佩卡·希曼宁(Pekka Himanen)[18]的《黑客伦理》(The Hacker Ethic)一书中汲取灵感,人们应当从以工业为基础的工作范式转向一种“黑客范式”。在工业范式中,个体主要执行重复性的劳动任务,其目的仅仅是为了获取收入以维持生存。而黑客范式则以内在价值为核心,强调工作本身的趣味性、刺激性、创造性与游戏性,其特征是激情与游戏,而非“履行对工作的责任”或“为经济做出贡献”的社会义务,正如马克斯·韦伯(Max Weber)[18]在《新教伦理与资本主义精神》(Capitalism and The Protestant Ethic)中所揭示的那样。黑客范式强调人类能动性及其实现价值的潜力,这种价值能提升人类。工业范式则在工人与他们与世界的积极参与之间产生疏离感:工人对他们所贡献的工作漠不关心;人们通常不喜欢甚至讨厌他们的工作。他们在那里是为了赚钱,而不是参与有意义的工作。正如希曼宁所写:“改革工作形式不仅是尊重工人的问题,更是尊重人类作为人类的问题。黑客不认同‘时间就是金钱’的格言,而认同‘这是我的生活’的格言。”正如埃里克·史蒂文·雷蒙德(Eric Steven Raymond)在《如何成为黑客》(How To Become A Hacker)[20]中所说,黑客认为世界充满了奇妙的问题,并在致力于解决这些问题中找到了自由。他们寻找需要动机和热情的项目,并相信当其他人也有机会获得同样的自由时,世界将变得无限美好,这需要社会合作以及对信息的最大程度的开放获取——这也正是“开源”的重要意义所在。

为了凸显为何引入新范式对于应对人工智能的挑战至关重要,具有显著的历史意义,我们可以回到亚当·斯密的思想。随后,将进一步阐明“质性丰富环境”与“质性丰富机会”的概念,并将其应用于当下以专有技术(proprietary technology)为核心的人工智能垄断体系。届时可以看到,这些垄断将扼杀黑客范式的生成,因此是不可取的。
透过亚当·斯密的视角我们可以看到,尽管工业化在长期内极大地提升了人们的生活水平,但它也对从事重复性、机械性劳动的人产生了消极影响,因为这类劳动削弱了对人类认知能力的刺激,阻碍了其全面发展。劳动分工极大地加速了专业化的进程,却减少了个体接触那些能调动其高级心智能力的机会——而这些能力正是实现有意义、有目标、富有成就感的工作的基础。人工智能与自动化正成为一种转型催化剂,逐步替代工业时代的工作模式与生产逻辑,将人力资本曾承担的任务转交予智能机器完成。若人工智能真的是一种进步——即人类进步——那么它就应回应亚当·斯密关于劳动分工及其对人类生活影响的担忧。
Part 2
Section 2.1
亚当·斯密在1776年写下了《国富论》(The Wealth of Nations)。受到艾萨克·牛顿(Isaac Newton)的影响,斯密希望理解社会背后的设计,以及社会的运作机制,类似于牛顿发现并使用采用机械论术语来公式化了解释宇宙的物理法则。那个时代的模型是将现象看作是像精密调校的手表一样有组织和有秩序的,所有部件和机械都在完美的和谐中协同工作,产生各种各样的效应和涌现现象。
在斯密生活的时代,第一次工业革命正在英格兰进行。城市扩张,曾经仅限于富人阶层的商品和服务变得更加廉价且易于获取,生活水平提高,基础设施得到了发展,表面上看,人们过上了前所未有的更好生活。斯密观察到社会的进步。由于大发现时代以及使欧洲人能够踏上新大陆的技术,欧洲人与那些似乎尚未经历欧洲所经历的历史进程、被欧洲人认为是“未开化”的民族接触,因此,欧洲大陆的风尚(ethos)是历史和文明正在进入一个新的、更为先进的阶段。科学探索和知识带来的创新提升了生产力和效率,从而使社会系统的组织更加复杂。斯密希望了解推动这一进程的因果机制。
斯密观察并认为劳动分工在社会经济中扮演了主要的,甚至是基础性的角色。随着社会组织的扩展,制造与生产过程逐渐细分为更为专业的任务,结果这些过程的产出大幅增加。在传统的行会框架中,工匠将一生投入到完整的手工业中,学习所需的所有方面并精通每一部分。这种行会框架逐渐被分工化的工厂模式所取代,后者在日益发展的城市中通过劳动分工的方式系统化生产。一个庞大的个体系统因此浮现,它需要极高的协调性,而劳动分工则将这一系统组织成一个复杂的机制,旨在调和人们的利益。
斯密还认为,劳动分工反映了人类本性中的某些更深层次的特征。人们涌向城市,赚取劳动报酬并享受更好的生活条件,因为斯密认为,人类天生具有进行交换(truck)、易货交易(barter)和贸易(exchange)[21]的倾向。他写道:“交换、易货和将一种物品与另一种物品贸易的倾向是所有人类共有的,在其他任何动物种群中都无法找到。”像狼这样的动物自然地在等级化的群体中组织自己,刚孵化的小鸟倾向于飞行,而像树木这样的有机体则在密林中争夺阳光。与此不同,人类进行交换、易货和贸易,是因为他们有天生的倾向来改善自身状况。劳动分工推动了这一目标的实现。
[21] 这三个词的区别在斯密研究中并没有得到广泛讨论。一些学者认为它们是同义的,通过重复表达强调(参考J.Z. Muller, (1993) Adam Smith in His Time and Ours: Designing the Decent Society, New York: Free Press第69页,Willie Henderson and Warren J. Samuels, (2004) The etiology of Adam Smith’s division of labor, in Essays on the History of Economics)。就这三个词在英语中的使用历史而言,truck system在英国曾经意为用实物作为工资的薪资制度,barter通常指不涉及货币的物物交换。
然而,斯密认为,劳动分工是一种权衡——它也有代价。尽管人们的生活水平提高,他们享受更好的条件,能够满足诸如食物、水和住所等消费需求,但劳动分工却将工人简化为机器中的齿轮。这些任务几乎不需要认知努力。一旦任务变得常规化,并转化为肌肉记忆后,便没有更多的障碍或问题需要克服。因此,斯密深切担忧这一过程将随着时间推移产生深远的负面认知效应。人们去上班,只要他们熟悉自己的任务,就不需要动脑;他们机械地行动。斯密直言不讳地写道:
“一个人一生都在执行少量简单的操作,并且这些操作的效果始终显而易见,他便无需发挥理解力,或利用自己的创造力去寻求解决从未出现的困难的方法。他自然会变得愚笨无知,几乎达到人类可能变得最愚笨和无知的地步。”
劳动分工提供的机会在质性上较为贫乏,无法使人们具备过上有意义和有目的生活的能力。借用另一位启蒙时期哲学家伊曼纽尔·康德(Immanuel Kant)的术语,劳动分工未能尊重人类的尊严,而尊严要求针对并培养那些能够使人过上自主选择生活所必需的能力。拥有尊严意味着对个人生活拥有影响力(influence)和掌控力(efficacy)。
劳动分工创造了更多提高生活水平的机会,但它没有提供“质性丰富机会”,使人们能够整合他们的能力并实现全面的人生。大多数人可用的机会并未促使他们将创造性和生产力能力集中于那些能够扩展他们在世界中自由感的目标上。与行会制度相比,劳动分工提供了更多的机会,但这些机会也更浅薄,更缺乏产生掌控感的体验。但由于生活水平较高,人们正确地选择了将自己降级为齿轮的工作。但正如斯密所观察到的,提高生活水平不足以满足人类需求的全面范围。它没有让大多数个体能够发挥他们的更高能力。
斯密认为,必须进行改善。对人们而言,更多“质性丰富机会”是至关重要的,这些机会使他们能够过上更有意义和目的的生活,体现人类尊严,并为行使他们的能动性提供基础。劳动分工提供了物质自由的增益,但并未提供足够的机会以实现更内在的、主体驱动的自由。
这无疑是卡尔·马克思对资本主义的重大批评之一。在资本主义体制下,人们与他们的劳动发生异化(alienation)。劳动的异化意味着人们与自己的活动脱离;即人在其自身和它的创造与生产能力之间产生了距离。在心理学家埃里克·弗洛姆(Eric Fromm)关于马克思的著作[22]中,他写道:“对马克思而言,异化的过程表现在工作和劳动分工中。工作是人类与自然之间的积极联系,是创造新世界的过程,包括创造人类自身……但随着私有制和劳动分工的发展,劳动失去了作为人类力量表达的特性;劳动及其产品变成了与人类、与他的意志和计划分离的存在。”
[22] Eric Fromm, Marx's Concept of Man.
人类通过他们所参与的活动以及在其中投入的内在力量和驱动力来理解和塑造自己的身份。通过创造和塑造世界及其环境,并将能量集中于外部项目和目标,一个人在世界中实现自我感。活动(Activity),而非被动的消费或任务,定义了马克思所说的人类本质。正如弗洛姆在其著作《拥有与存在》(To Have or To Be)中所指出的,通过“存在(being)”,而非“拥有(having)”,一个人才能体验到生活的意义和目的。通过“在爱中存在”,“以充满激情的方式存在”,“以积极行动的方式存在”,“以有希望的方式存在”,“有目的地存在”,以及“以有生产力地方式存在”,一个人才能过上充实的生活,而不必依赖“拥有”(爱、激情、积极性,等等)这些东西。劳动分工强调“拥有”,而其所涉及的许多工作和活动并未促使人们发展出“存在感”。正如德国诗人歌德(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)所言,人类通过“将自己从可能性的黑夜转化为现实的白昼”来努力存在。人类通过外化他们内心的价值观和设想来追求成为自我,而这一过程通过活动得以实现。弗洛姆写道:“人类只有在生产性行为中才是活着的,只有在他通过表达自己特定的人类能力来把握外部世界,并且以这些能力来把握世界时……在这个生产性过程中,人类实现了自己的本质。”劳动分工减少了人类的能动性感,即人类以他们所珍视的、选择并在其上实践自身意志的有意义的方式,来主动影响和引导自己生活的能力。
通过创建“质性丰富环境”,黑客范式及其对开源的推动提供了多个“质性丰富机会”,从而推动了我们社会和政治结构的进步。它具有实现人类天性中更为积极的一面——人的能动感——的潜力,而不仅仅是其消极和消费的部分。这里的主要假设是,如果人工智能要发展并融入经济基础,它应当使人们的生活得到改善。更具体地说,如果自动化发生,其结果应当是改善人们的生活,而非对他们造成伤害。实现这一目标的一种途径是确保足够分配“质性丰富机会”,让每个人都能从中受益,而开源正是实现这一目标的途径。人工智能发展可能导致人们境况恶化以及抑制他们潜在机会的一个重要原因是存在使用专有模型来控制人工智能并主导其市场使用的垄断现象。黑客范式和开源则为避免这种结果提供了可能的解决方案。
Section 2.2
在理解垄断如何减少“质性丰富机会”之前,我们需要进一步弄清楚什么是“质性丰富机会”,以及它们激发并帮助发展哪些能力。在解释这类机会的性质及其意义之后,我们将探讨垄断是如何大幅削弱这些机会的可及性,以及这意味着什么。
“质性丰富机会”的理念源自亚里士多德(Aristotle)[23],更具体地说,是由哲学家玛莎·努斯鲍姆(Martha Nussbaum)和经济学家阿玛蒂亚·森(Amartya Sen)进一步发展的。亚里士多德认为,人类要实现繁荣、过上充实而有尊严的生活,必须达成某些特定的功能(functions)或方式。他认为存在一种“人性(human nature)”,而这种人性包含基本的和更高层次的需求。无论历史和偶然条件如何变化,人类都具有一些根本特征。当然,这些特征是在历史情境中体现的,但在所有文化和文明中都可以观察到某些本质上的一致性。亚里士多德说:“善是万物所追求的目标。”所谓“善”,即是一种事物的适当功能。例如,眼睛的善是“看见”,种子的善是“长成一棵树”。实现某物的适当功能,就是实现其“繁荣”(flourish),也就是达到它所追求和努力趋向的状态。达到这样的状态,就是获得一种内在价值。
[23] 古希腊哲学家。
作为一个人去实现其功能,需要基本的生活必需品,如食物、水、住所和行动能力。但这些物品本身并不具有内在价值;它们之所以有价值,是因为它们使人能够运作以追求更进一步、更有内在价值的事物。如果一个人仅仅拥有这些基本的生存条件,我们可以说他“运作”着,但未必是“良好地运作”。要使一个人“良好地运作”,必须拥有其他内在价值更高的资源。人类需要教育与信息获取,以发展其认知能力;需要家庭和亲密关系,以发展社交技巧、个人身份认同和情感处理能力;还需要能够施展意志、探索兴趣、投入热情的追求,并培养目标感的渠道。一个良好的政治与社会安排,即我们应当追求的那种社会制度,应当为人们提供具体的机会,让他们得以实践这些需求,从而实现良好的人类运作状态。“质性丰富机会”即是指那些能够为人类发展内在有价值的能力(如做出知情决策的能力、制定值得追求的目标及其实现路径的能力,以及建立有意义、有影响力的人际关系的能力)提供基础的机会。像工作、教育、社区和艺术等社会制度,正是那些激发并促进实现这些目标所需能力的质性丰富环境。
质性丰富机会之所以重要,是因为它们使人们具备发展“能动性”的能力。借用斯坦福大学心理学家阿尔伯特·班杜拉(Albert Bandura)[24]的概念,我们可以将“人类的能动性”理解为个体感受到自己对生活有控制和影响力的能力。更具体地说,质性丰富机会能够激发那些针对“自我效能”(self-efficacy)能力的行为。所谓“自我效能”,是指一个人在面对挑战和障碍时所拥有的自我信心感。当面对一个困难且新颖的任务时,高自我效能的人会评估自己有能力克服困难完成任务;他们会拥有坚持不懈、克服失败的动机;即使身处陌生与复杂情境中,他们也能维持良好的心理状态。质性丰富机会旨在发展那些能够提升自我效能以及应对具体情境所需的能力。通过这些机会,一个人得以锻炼其能动性、获取掌控力,从而扩展其自由感。而正如班杜拉(1994)[25]所说:“一个人自我效能感越强,他为自己设定的目标挑战越高,并且对这些目标的承诺也越坚定。”因此,通过增强自我效能,无论是在信念层面还是实践层面,个人将获得更高程度的自由,并过上更具质感、更丰富的人生。
[24] https://happyheartfamilies.citymax.com/f/Self_Efficacy.pdf [25] https://happyheartfamilies.citymax.com/f/Self_Efficacy.pdf
工作在塑造个体身份和自我认同方面具有至关重要的作用。它为人们提供了探索不同职业路径的机会,使他们能够发现自己在人生中希望追求的目标。工作往往也是建立职业与个人关系、融入不同社会网络的重要方式,同时也是人们获取能力、攀登社会阶梯的媒介。工作这一领域还能帮助人们在多种环境和情境中培养动机、智力以及态度。换句话说,工作为人们提供了发展某些功能或生活方式的机会,而这些功能和生活方式正是实现美好生活所必不可少的。
例如,想象一个年轻人第一次进入劳动力市场。他尝试了几份工作。他发现自己不太喜欢零售业,因为需要持续与顾客打交道。他又尝试了送货服务,结果发现自己不喜欢那种日复一日的重复性工作。最后,他在一个建筑工地找到了工作,并发现有些任务既有趣又具有挑战性。他喜欢动手工作的感觉,于是决定投身技工行业。这个人随后进入技校学习,建立起重要的人际关系,在新环境中受到挑战,被激发去提升技能、积累知识与经验,并在这个过程中不断面对和克服新的困难与障碍。毕业后,他抓住了一个机会——一位欣赏他职业精神的导师为他提供了许多关注和支持。之后,他在某家公司工作了一段时间,并在这个过程中积累了足够的知识和自信,决定创办自己的公司,以实现这个目标。他开始建立客户关系,专注于能让自己在竞争中脱颖而出的技能,并最终打造出一家成功的企业。
这听起来也许有些理想化,但却是一个既熟悉又现实的例子。它描绘了一种有目的的生活,这些目的是通过在环境和情境中发现的机会而形成的,这些环境和情境提供了能够产生能动感和自我价值感的体验。当然,要实现这样的人生画面,通常还需要一系列其他条件,例如成长于一个有支持的环境中,拥有探索个人兴趣所需的资源和时间等——但在美国,工作无疑是提供发展构成美好生活的关键功能的核心渠道。上文中的这个人通过学习新技能、克服挑战、做出关键选择来应对社会环境,最终实现了成功与成就。随着在专业领域的成长,他不断设立新的目标,并获得足够的自我效能感,相信自己能够实现这些目标。他发展出一整套完整的能力体系,最终也获得了尊严感。无论这个人过去或未来是否还拥有其他美好的人生经历,如果没有那些能够让他工作与成长的机会,他的人生质量将会大打折扣。
这里有一个真实的例子,不过这个人将保持匿名。在荷兰大学毕业后,他不想找一份“普通的工作”,于是开始前往其他国家旅行。他靠在 YouTube 上制作音乐赚了一些钱,住在各地的酒店和青年旅舍。但随着资金逐渐减少,孤独与疏离感开始加剧,他变得抑郁。他完全自由——可以去任何地方、看任何东西,做任何他想做的事——但他感到极度孤独。在亚洲的一家青年旅舍,他一个人躺在床上盯着天花板,没有钱、没有女朋友、也没有工作,他想起了父亲曾对他说的话:“他小时候教过我:每当我感到沮丧或者不知道做什么时,就去找一座沙堆,拿把铲子,把沙子从院子的一边搬到另一边……干点体力活,做点辛苦的事——做点什么。我做创业项目时也一样。”于是,他开始学习编程,开发软件和应用程序,并利用 Stripe 平台[26]将作品发布给公众以筹集资金。他专注于那些能够带来方向感与创作机会的活动。在真正的“黑客精神”指引下,他把世界看作充满待解决问题的迷人场域,有些问题他认为是可处理且值得去做的,于是尝试去解决。令人惊讶的是,他立下目标:一年内创办十二个初创公司——而他真的做到了。
[26] 一个专注于在线支付处理和金融基础设施的平台,帮助企业在互联网上管理资金流动。
这个人起初感到疏离与孤独,缺乏人生目标。因此他选择行动起来,把自己投入到使用基础编程语言与工具进行的创造性表达中。通过利用人工智能,他也更能创造出具有价值和实用性的产品,供他人使用与体验。他采纳了父亲的建议,将自己投入到实际行动中,结果是抑郁与焦虑逐渐缓解。他在信息丰富的环境中,发现了许多“质性丰富机会”,得以发展自我,提升自我效能感与能力。他与更多富有挑战性的目标建立联系,不断努力达成这些目标。而开源技术在这一过程中扮演了关键角色。
这也正是 Dora 生态系统的重要意义所在。通过像 DoraHacks.io 这样的平台,像上文所描述的那样的人们可以借由“质性丰富机会”,与全球各地的开发者协作,共同创新,创造出人们认为紧迫且相关的有意义的解决方案。该生态系统为开发者提供了必要的资源,使他们能够加入全球任何地方的 “BUIDL” 团队,解决引人入胜的问题;并在黑客松中与其他建设者一起感受到社区归属感;同时还通过激励机制推动他们实现有意义的目标,而这些目标往往又会引发更具挑战性和刺激性的下一阶段任务。Dora 生态系统创造了一个充满可能性的环境,使人们能够构建去中心化的产品与服务,例如将所有权交还给用户本人,增强他们在数字世界中的自主性、安全性以及对金融资产的控制力。正如下文将进一步讨论的,大型企业和垄断机构通常并不会从这些类型的技术中直接受益。那么,他们又有什么动机去资助这类技术呢?开源技术栈能够提升价值的质量,因为它为人们提供了开发更具意义产品的路径,而这些产品通常比那些由大型、目标狭隘的机构所产出的产品更具意义。
因此,如果自动化有可能减少甚至消除人们运用能动性、获得自我效能感的“质性丰富机会“,那么它所腾出的空间,理应由其他在质性上更丰富的机会来填补。如果确实存在“人性”这样的东西,而这种人性包含了一系列需要被发展、以使人得以过上有尊严生活的能力,那么最优与最值得追求的政治与社会安排,应当是将“质性丰富机会”公平分配,以确保人们有选择去运用自身能力、成为能够良好运作并实现繁荣生活的个体。为人们提供质性丰富机会,使他们能够加以利用,并据此组织、调动并集中自身内在力量于那些能够锻炼与激发个体能力的实践之上,这就构成了一个让人过上更有意义人生的基础。它是给予人们成为他们所珍视之人的自由。
接下来的部分将转向对 AI 垄断企业的讨论,揭示它们是如何压制上述这类未来机会的。
Part 3
Section 3.1
人工智能领域中潜在的垄断者不言自明:谷歌、苹果、微软、Meta 和亚马逊。这些公司以及少数其他企业在 2024 年占据了 65% 的固定网络流量和 68% 的移动网络流量[27]。谷歌大约占据全球约 90% 的搜索市场,其品牌名几乎已成为“搜索”行为本身的代名词;Meta 拥有主要的社交媒体平台,如 Instagram、Facebook 和 WhatsApp,这些都是人们日常交流与信息分享中访问量极高的平台;微软控制着大约 72% 的桌面操作系统市场;在美国,苹果约占据 60% 的智能手机市场份额;而亚马逊则主导了线上零售,其规模“超过美国排名其后的 15 家最大电商零售商的总和”[28]。此外,谷歌、Meta 和亚马逊合计占据了美国约 60% 的广告收入。我们在网上所接触到的产品、精美广告、以及注意力的买卖,主要都是由这几家大型科技公司驱动的。根据 Synergy Research [29]的研究,到本世纪末,微软、谷歌和亚马逊三家公司可能将掌握全球高达三分之二的数据份额。这些公司还控制着大部分云基础设施——亚马逊、微软、谷歌(以及阿里巴巴)合计拥有全球 67% 的云计算市场份额[30]。
这些公司拥有庞大的资源储备,同时也长期以来采用各种手段排挤竞争对手,包括通过并购消灭潜在威胁、利用市场主导地位优先推广自家产品、实行掠夺性定价、利用网络效应,以及其他众所周知的策略。例如,鉴于亚马逊在电子商务领域的市场主导地位,它可以通过优先推荐自家产品,排挤其他可能品质更高的供应商产品。消费者在面对价格更低的亚马逊产品时,往往更倾向于购买,而亚马逊正好拥有充足的资源来维持这种低价策略。在网络效应方面,“目前[31]大多数科技巨头的用户数量都以十亿计”,这为初创企业和小公司制造了几乎无法跨越的障碍。而谷歌也多次被指控故意降低某些内容的排名,并优先展示有利于自身利益的信息。

[31] https://academic.oup.com/policyandsociety/advance-article/doi/10.1093/polsoc/puae012/7636223
如今,这些公司正积极争夺对人工智能发展的主导权。“Meta、微软、亚马逊和Alphabet 预计在2025年将累计投入高达 3250 亿美元的资本支出与投资……相比这些公司在2024年报告[32]的约 2230 亿美元,这相当于增长了 46%。”此外,“几乎没有例外,所有初创公司、新进入者,甚至 AI 研究实验室都依赖这些大型科技公司:他们依靠微软、亚马逊和谷歌的计算基础设施来训练系统,也依靠它们庞大的消费市场渠道来部署和销售 AI 产品[33]。”科技巨头垄断了初创公司赖以生存[34]的关键资源——人才、数据和算力。
[32] https://finance.yahoo.com/news/big-tech-set-to-invest-325-billion-this-year-as-hefty-ai-bills-come-under-scrutiny-182329236.html [33] https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/12/05/1084393/make-no-mistake-ai-is-owned-by-big-tech/ [34] https://academic.oup.com/policyandsociety/advance-article/doi/10.1093/polsoc/puae012/7636223
现有的行业巨头正在开发各种模型,以维持其在各自市场中的立足点。由于它们掌握着大多数资源——例如,“这些公司贡献了标普500指数公司市值的 22% 以上,其单独市值甚至超过了加拿大、意大利等[35]部分 G7 国家 GDP”——它们可以随意挤压竞争对手,阻止初创企业和小型公司进入市场。正如前文所述,随着 DeepSeek 在全球市场中作为竞争者不断取得进展,这些最大规模的 AI 公司正在大肆渲染一场“军备竞赛”,并夸大中国威胁以及人工智能可能带来的危害,从而推动对 AI 的监管和开发限制,而这些限制最终最有可能使它们自身受益。与此同时,由于垄断体制依赖于专有模型,其架构、权重、学习算法、代码以及内嵌目标都对公众隐蔽不明,在 AI 渗透信息网络的过程中,这些公司的经济与市场主导地位也将以一种“隐秘的方式”塑造人们的思维和行为。

那么,监管是否能解决这个问题呢?《麻省理工科技评论》最近指出:“监管或许有帮助[36],但政府政策最终往往加固了这些公司的权力,而非加以削弱——这些公司能够利用其资本与政治影响力来操控政策。”亚历克斯·蓝姆佩尔(Alex Rampell)[37]最近写道[38]:“拜登政府发布了一项行政命令[39],试图以人为设定的门槛限制计算能力,禁止开源技术,理由是其对国家安全构成威胁,同时这实际上为几家最大公司垄断监管资源敞开了大门。”例如,尽管萨姆·奥特曼在与贝利·韦斯(Barry Weiss)[40]的《自由新闻播客》(Free Press podcast)中否认了这一说法,投资人马克·安德森却一再警告称,拜登的 AI 行政命令的真正目的在于将 AI 的控制权交到少数几家公司(极可能是 OpenAI)手中,并通过提高市场准入门槛来消除竞争者。此外,尽管此举颇具争议、甚至可能显得天真,自从 DeepSeek 发布其 V1 和 V3 模型以来,Anthropic的 CEO 达里·阿摩地(Dario Amodei)一直呼吁加强出口管制政策[41],进一步限制中国获取芯片的能力。然而,正如迪伦·潘特(Dylan Patel)[42]和纳森·兰伯特(Nathan Lambert)[43]在 《莱克斯·弗莱德曼博客》中指出的那样,DeepSeek 的开源模型显然并不构成任何实质性的国家安全威胁。但它确实对那些依赖专有系统、通过模型控制潜在价值的生态构成了威胁。DeepSeek 的方法迫使这些“专有资本”朝着可被任何人使用与构建的公共资源方向转化。正因如此,阿摩地对“单极 vs. 双极世界”的坚持背后其实包含着竞争性的动机:要么 AI 权力集中于美国,要么中美都拥有对等的 AI 能力——而后者,在阿摩地看来,是必须避免的局面。

或许,我们应当持有一种不那么鹰派的乐观态度。经济学家泰勒·科文提出了充分理由,认为与其全面投入一场军备竞赛,不如在相互合作[44]与共赢中寻找发展路径。当然,竞争仍然是必要的,但推动未来事件进程的竞争心态,不应仅仅源于达尔文式的“适者生存”逻辑,而应更接近尼采所观察到[45]的古希腊式“竞技”(Agon)[46]传统——那是一种社会制度,其中的艺术家、军事领袖与运动员通过竞争彼此激励、共同成长。
[44] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcJtvzF-FP8&t=2736s [45] http://www.northamericannietzschesociety.com/uploads/7/3/2/5/73251013/nietzscheana5.pdf [46] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agon
没有对手,竞争者也将迷失方向。因为没有了改进、突破和创新的机会,个体便失去了变得更好、更具创造力的可能。竞争者的存在本身就依赖于愿意对抗他们的人。正是因为有人挑战,希腊诗人才得以想象得更深远、表达得更出色。尼采指出,希腊竞技者面临的最大危险不是失败,而是——失去竞争对手。他写道:“这正是希腊竞技理念的核心:它厌恶独裁,畏惧其危险,它渴望用‘另一个天才’来抵御某一位天才的压倒性力量。”我们不应将竞争理解为自然状态下的求生挣扎,那种资源稀缺、人与人互为威胁的霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes)式处境——“孤独、贫穷、肮脏、残暴而短暂”[47]。我们也不应将竞争本能视为某种原始性冲动的残余,只为了压制对手、消灭威胁。我们应当将其理解为一种可以高贵化的本能,正如尼采所言,它是“所有人类情感、行为与作品的唯一丰沃土壤”。竞争本能自身也具有德性,应当被培养成“在正确的时间、以正确的方式、出于正确的理由”去发挥作用的东西(亚里士多德,《尼各马科伦理学》(Nicomachean Ethics)第二卷),而不是被视作一种必要之恶。阿摩地害怕中国,这可能不是正确的回应——或许,一个更好的、更具德性的回应,是将中国视为值得尊敬的竞争者。

现在让我们聚焦于这些潜在的 AI 垄断企业为何会通过主导 AI 生态系统,压制质性丰富机会的更广泛传播。原因至少有两个:第一个涉及经济能动性,第二个涉及价值能动性。所谓经济能动性,是指人们进入市场、创造能满足消费者需求与欲望的价值与效用的能力。如果市场上的 AI 模型被集中掌握在少数公司手中,新兴企业与创业者为世界做出有价值贡献的机会将受到限制。那些能够回应民主、医疗保健、金融自主、政治权利与自由,或其他重大而有意义问题的创新,将大幅减少,从而也会降低 AI 所可能带来的社会福祉。任何威胁到这些少数 AI 垄断企业的控制力、影响力或财富的产品与服务,将被直接排除在市场之外,而不是由市场自然机制或消费者的真实需求所决定。
另一方面,所谓价值能动性,是指人们有能力对社会应追求的目标产生影响、发表意见。如果 AI 是在不透明的条件下、依据无法被公众了解和介入的价值与目标进行训练的,那么人们在这些问题上的影响力就会被削弱。如果由专有模型决定大多数或几乎全部嵌入 AI 的产品与服务的性质,那么人们对这些技术的控制权将大为减少。例如,所谓“对齐问题”指的是如何使 AI 与人类的利益保持一致。那么,什么是人类的利益?什么是构成一个良好且值得追求社会的目标?AI 的运行应遵循哪些道德与伦理原则?这些价值是否可以由少数几家公司决定,而无需公开其训练数据与学习算法?是否可以不接受公众监督与介入?如果技术架构被封闭在公众视野之外,那么上述问题的答案就更有可能来自权威的决定,而不是通过民主程序获得的共识。
经济能动性与价值能动性的双重丧失是危险的,本文余下部分将进一步阐述原因。
Section 3.3: 经济能动性
正如奥地利经济学家路德维希·冯·米塞斯(Ludwig von Mises)与弗里德里希·哈耶克(Friedrich Hayek)所著名指出的,苏联之所以在某些方面具有毁灭性,部分原因在于它无法通过自然发生的市场机制来合理分配资源。在这样的体制下,由内部的中央计划者来决定人民的需求与欲望——而这些人所掌握的信息资源既稀缺、又充满偏见与误差,无法实现准确分配。因此,大量官僚主义和强制性的手段被实施来调配国家资源。
举例来说,国家必须设定价格。至少是在苏联的情况中,并不存在一个广泛可用的自由市场,来使商品与服务受到供需关系的调节。生产者依据国家命令进行生产,而非根据市场激励(如竞争)自行调整方向——这些激励本应协调生产与消费,促成市场均衡。换句话说,价格失去了其关键信息功能——它本应指示资源该流向何处。哈耶克在《通往奴役之路》(The Road to Serfdom)中写道:“任何对某些商品的价格或数量的控制,都剥夺了竞争协调个体努力的能力,因为此时价格变动无法反映环境中的相关变化,也就无法为个体行动提供可靠的指导。”
不过,对本文来说,更重要的是:国家控制的生产与经济计划还意味着人们被剥夺了进入市场并创造价值的机会,使他们难以通过创新改善自身生活。任何可能威胁国家权力、削弱其合法性与影响力,或转移其部分控制权的创新行为,都将被禁止进入市场。举个例子:假设某人观察到,在某国的偏远乡村地区,由于常年洪水泛滥,人们无法修建道路,从而难以参与国家选举。这位发明者研发了一种不受洪水腐蚀的新型混凝土,并希望在乡村修建道路,改善人们的通行条件,让他们更容易参与公共事务。但当他向国家交通委员会申请资源时,却遭到了拒绝。原因是:该地区居民普遍希望拥有农业生产的自主权,因此国家不愿意为这些人提供进入选举制度的通道。而在缺乏市场竞争的情况下,也没有其他机会和机制可以去建设这些道路。
垄断,尤其是在受到监管体系保护的情况下,构成了类似的威胁。马克思曾做出一个著名批评:资本主义作为一种社会制度,其内在逻辑会逐步而不可避免地导致生产资料向少数人手中集中。虽然包括哈耶克和米塞斯在内的许多经济学家认为这种看法是错误的,并坚信在正常运作的资本主义体系中,这一结果是可以避免的。但如果人工智能遭到垄断,那么马克思的预测将比以往更加接近现实——无论这是由于历史规律,还是由于无法预见的结构性变数所致。正如克里斯·迪克森(Chris Dixon)[48]在其著作《阅读、写作、拥有》(Read, Write, Own)中观察到的,初创公司之所以能在市场中找到生存空间,部分原因在于大公司往往目光短浅,无法及时察觉到新兴产品正逐步获得消费者的关注。在专注于自身业务的过程中,这些巨头常常错失市场趋势与动向,而初创企业若运气足够好,就能积累足够势能以形成竞争力。但如果这些老牌巨头掌控了人工智能,他们就可能利用 AI 的能力来抹平初创企业原本可以利用的那些优势。随着时间推移,垄断企业将对市场形成难以穿透的控制权,各行各业的价值链最终将进一步“上游集中”到这些公司手中——比现在更甚。由专家所忽视、却能在市场中创造出意想不到价值的颠覆性技术,其创新空间可能会被完全挤压出去。

由于人工智能具备智能能力,它作为资本工具拥有极大的潜力,能够创造出改善人类生活的先进技术。但,由于有些对公众最有益的应用方式,可能并不符合政府与大型企业的利益,其潜在福祉也就可能在权力结构中被悲剧性地削弱。其中最明显的例子就是金融自主权。
看看比特币的案例就足以说明问题。中本聪(Satoshi)[49]发明比特币的初衷,是为了让人们拥有金融自由的能力——通过创造一种稀缺资源,其价值储存功能可与黄金相类比。比特币使那些生活在高通胀、货币极度贬值国家的人们,能够积累具有全球流通性的财富。人们可以拥有一种不会因货币供应过量或国家财政赤字上升而贬值的资产。比特币能够帮助人们过上更加稳定、安全的生活,它提供了透明性、个人所有权,以及能够激励社会合作的制度安排——这一切都无需依赖强制性信任或道德施舍。
[49] 比特币(Bitcoin)的创造者,身份不明。
人们本希望掌权者能够设法将中本聪为世界带来的巨大价值纳入现有体系。并不是说比特币应立即取代法定货币,而是说,考虑到比特币在应对法币体系中潜在致命问题方面提供了极具前景的解决方案,政府至少应当付出更大的努力,将这些解决方案纳入实践。合理的期待是,执政者会寻求一种方式,将区块链、比特币及其增强经济自由的潜力加以整合。然而,直到最近,有关这一技术的监管进展一直缓慢而混乱。在拜登政府期间,由于政策缺乏清晰性与明确性,关于加密货币的许多举措都未能充分发挥其潜在价值,反而阻碍了其更高效、更具生产性的使用路径。
如果AI被通过监管框架实现垄断,那么那些原本有潜力改善人类生活的技术也可能轻易被弃置。若这些技术与政府或企业利益发生冲突,大多数人将无法通过授权或专利使用这些专有模型,而中小型企业也会被并购吸收。尽管人工智能本可以彻底革新选举平台及人们参与选举的方式;尽管它本可以通过更优的数据安全手段或创造更多经济机会来增强个体自由,但探索这些可能性的路径,若与掌控大多数 AI 技术栈(甚至全部)的公司利益不符,就很可能被封锁。如果某项潜在的 AI 技术有可能通过解决某些产业赖以牟利、甚至具有寄生性质的问题,从而威胁广告收入,那么像谷歌与 Meta 这样的科技公司几乎必然会阻止这一技术进入市场的尝试。
特朗普政府迄今为止最重要的政策举措之一,就是其新的加密货币政策。该政策废除了上一届政府的行政命令,并致力于制定一个有助于推动该技术发展的监管框架。这对于人工智能领域中正在发生的其他形式的创新具有重要意义。有了除了传统风险投资之外的其他资源——例如通证经济(tokenomics)[50],初创公司可以为其项目提供资金支持,并积累发展势能。
[50] 也译为“代币经济学”,是对加密货币或区块链项目的经济层面的研究和分析,尤其关注其原生数字代币的设计和发行。该术语由“代币/通证”(token)和“经济学”(economics)两个词组合而成。
彼得·蒂尔在其著作《从零到一》(Zero to One)中提出,初创公司本身就在、也应该在寻求成为垄断者。他们需要在市场中占据一个特定空间,通过开发专有技术击败其他竞争者,并进一步排除后来者进入该市场。正如蒂尔所言,如果企业不想成为失败者,这种策略是至关重要的。若他们希望获得投资者的关注,就必须采取建立垄断地位的路径。然而,借助通证经济以及其他与加密货币相关的机制,人们也有机会开发出有价值的技术,同时保留开源精神。在这样的机制下,合作与协作得以推动,同时也能获得支持增长所需的资金。
Section 3.4 价值能动性
经济能动性之所以被削弱,是因为市场中那些具备质感的价值创造机会正在减少,使个体难以通过创新与生产满足不断变化的需求与欲望。当 AI 技术栈被少数几家垄断企业掌控并主导整个生态系统时,即使有人识别出一个真正有意义的问题,并设计出强有力的解决方案,如果这不符合大型企业的利益,该方案也很可能无法进入市场。经济活动及其所带来的社会价值,不应建立在一套容许权力任意压制、扼杀对社会整体有益事务的权威机制上。那么,AI 垄断企业又是如何压缩人们在价值能动性上的“质性丰富机会”的呢?
如果雷·库兹韦尔的奇点理论及其相关预测哪怕部分属实——如果人类真的将与非生物智能融合,并生活在日益人工化的环境中——那么人工智能的垄断不仅不可取,而且可以说是一种反乌托邦式的局面。这种设想唤起了关于“技术霸主”的画面:他们主宰着人类社会,而人们要么沦为智能机器的奴工,要么则是舒适而满足地享受着智能繁荣所带来的物质成果。在这样的图景中,总有人必须开采矿物资源,而另一些人则消费着由此生产出的丰富商品与服务。但如果我们假设 AI 的发展会快到足以让智能机器人无需人力就能完成矿产开采工作,那最终所有人都会转变为纯粹的“消费者”。“在接下来的几十年里,”库兹韦尔预测,“几乎所有例行性的体力与脑力活动都将被自动化。”届时,唯有那些具有社交性、创造性、创新性或高度不可预测性的工作将对拥有相关技能与培训的人开放,其余人将大多成为消费者。而借助纳米机器人、虚拟现实、非生物智能增强技术与无处不在的信息流动,我们的现实将愈加接近哲学家罗伯特·诺齐克(Robert Nozick)所设想的“体验机”(experience machine)。
通过某种装置的介入——无论是接入某种模拟装置,还是完全沉浸于类似虚拟现实(VR)那样的数字化、信息化环境中——人们可以体验到他们所希望的任何事情。任何感官体验、情绪、思想或事件,都会随时向任何人开放,随时可供消费。一个人可以体验写出“伟大的美国小说”所带来的深刻满足,像苏格拉底[51]那样在雅典法庭上勇敢地对抗陪审团,或像拿破仑那样英勇地站在青翠的高岗上俯瞰敌军,也可以在模拟的攀登中登上珠穆朗玛峰,体会坚持不懈的荣耀与世界之巅的视野。重要的不是这些事件是否真实发生,而是有人“渴望”它,而它就会“存在”。在这样的图景中,人生的目标就是消费;而“道德生活”——值得追求的生活——则被定义为追求内部刺激的生活。外部世界、个体真实的存在状态将不再重要。一个人是否真实地勇敢、富有同情心、充满爱意、公正、虔诚、善良或邪恶——这都不再有意义。人们的兴趣与冲突将在人工体验的消费中得到调和。在一个“问题已被解决”的世界中,没有需要行动者去解决的具体问题,行动者也就变得可有可无;唯一需要的,是“消费”。
[51] 古希腊哲学家。
这种情境真正危险之处在于,垄断企业将完全掌控生成技术的算法,也即控制我们可接触的信息结构。信息将不断被嵌入到以消费为中心的环境中。理想情况下,人们应当拥有自由,做他们想做的事,以他们认可的方式生活。但人们“看待”世界的方式,他们建构现实的方式,他们所处的社会语境——都会被那些已经整合智能资本、成为未来唯一商品与服务生产者的公司所过滤与塑造。哲学家艾伦·布鲁姆(Allan Bloom)在其著作《美国精神的封闭》(The Closing of the American Mind)中写道:“每一个教育系统都有一个它希望达成的道德目标,并据此构建其课程。它希望塑造出某种特定类型的人。”人工智能的垄断企业将通过改造人的生存环境来塑造“人是什么”的意义,以符合其自身利益。而真正重要的那些事情——运用能动性、实现真实的自我效能感、发现自己在人生中真正珍视与渴望的事物、建构让现实更一贯、宜居和统一的人生目标等等的机会——将被被企业利益所强烈影响和操控。而这些利益,本质上是围绕经济增长与利润最大化构建的。
在诺姆·乔姆斯基(Noam Chomsky)[52]与爱德华·赫尔曼(Edward Herman)[53]合著的《制造共识》(Manufacturing Consent)[54]一书中,两位作者提出,美国媒体实际上是一种宣传工具,而非客观的信息来源(这一观点当时颇具争议,但如今已成为主流看法)。他们认为,这种宣传功能是通过一套“过滤模型”来运作的,该模型将信息作为输入,并为公众“福祉”完美制造出标准化的输出。而其中一些媒体过滤机制,正是今天科技巨头所采用的。第一个过滤器是媒体公司的规模、所有权结构及其以利润为导向的商业模式。这使得进入媒体市场所需的投资与准入成本变得高得惊人,从而使其他竞争者难以生存。法律制度被用来执行一系列标准,这些标准压制了初创公司与中小企业的发展;而政府补贴则倾向于支持那些与政府利益保持一致的媒体公司。第二个过滤器是广告收入。广告不仅提升了特定公司的利润,也让它们在竞争中占据优势。那些无法吸引广告支持的媒体来源往往被市场边缘化。在此过程中,那些资金雄厚的媒体公司为了争取广告商的“青睐”,被迫迎合股东所要求的持续利润增长。这意味着任何挑战企业利益的声音,都可能因营收减少而遭受惩罚,最终被逐出市场竞争。
[52] 美国教授和公共知识分子,以其在语言学、政治活动和社会批评领域的研究而闻名。乔姆斯基有时被称为“现代语言学之父”,他也是分析哲学的重要人物和认知科学领域的创始人之一。 [53] 美国经济学家、媒体学者和社会评论家。 [54] https://focalizalaatencion.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/herman-chomsky-2002-manufacturingconsent.pdf
这两个过滤器,正是当今科技巨头在其平台上运用的机制。他们主导市场,并依靠广告收入获取惊人的利润。正如乔姆斯基与赫尔曼所指出的另一个过滤器——意识形态偏向,大科技公司同样如此。就像上世纪八十年代的主流媒体会大肆报道敌对国家的种族灭绝与谋杀,却对发生在美国“势力范围”如拉美地区的同类事件视而不见,大科技公司也会在符合其经济与利益考量时,沿着特定的意识形态线索行事。由于其庞大的利润模式与动机,大科技公司的利益并不必然与真理、勇气、准确性、诚实、公正或善恶标准一致。只有当这些价值可以带来可预见的利润与效用最大化时,它们才可能被采纳。因此,如果 AI 垄断企业逐步获得市场主导权,并以其最先进模型为基础将大量商品与服务推向市场,那么人们对于世界的理解、他们如何看待现实、哪些事物最值得关注——都会在信息过滤器的引导下被重塑。这些过滤器正是大科技公司用于“产出有利于技术发展结果”的机制的一部分。个体发展自身的机会、形成自我世界观的过程、以及构成生活统一性的价值体系,都将受到科技信息过滤器的支配与重构。
我们很容易想象这样一个世界:信息的生成由一小部分集中的模型主导,这些模型构建出一套相互交织的信息网络,强化着不准确、不诚实、甚至是伪造的信息结构。新闻标题与报道可能散布错误主张与对现实的歪曲,而这些说法又会被其他虚假信息源所“证实”,彼此互为支撑。这种信息结构——即信息的组织方式及其意义赋予机制——可能会被人为策划,以服务于掌握权力与控制信息传播资源者所设定的特定目的。少数人认为“最好的”内容将被优先推送,而公众的想法将逐渐变得从属,最终被操控以符合权力方的利益。这并不是在指责某个实体或个人有恶意意图,而是在强调这样一种结构性困境:当生成并传播社会所消费的信息的能力被集中在少数几方手中时,这种权力格局所带来的难以解决的困境。
这最终将不可避免地导向类似于前文提到的诺齐克“体验机”的世界。人们获得一种超越消费伦理的生活形式能力的机会将被极大压缩,甚至被彻底剥夺。确实,假设未来大多数工作被自动化,人们通过基本收入实现生活保障,那么个体将从劳作的束缚中解放,不再被迫为经济增长贡献劳动力。从某种意义上说,人类将获得对约束与必需品的自由。但问题在于,如果没有施展自由的媒介,如果没有真正的机会在具体经验中运用自己的能动性,那么这种自由就并不是真正的自由——至少不是那种更深层次的、积极意义上的自由。那种引导人们思考“如何生活”、那种通过探索而发现值得投入心力与时间的事业的过程、那种确立人生目标并在充满挑战与刺激的环境中努力实现的能力,将会在这样的结构中逐渐失效,甚至彻底被边缘化。
哲学家约翰·杜威(John Dewey)曾写道:
我们很少意识到,我们对什么有价值、什么无价值的判断,在多大程度上是受制于我们并不自觉的标准。但一般来说,那些我们未经思考便视为理所当然的事物,正是决定我们有意识思维与判断结论的关键。而那些位于反思之下的习性,往往正是在我们与他人的持续互动与交换中形成的。
如果构成社会的制度是由那些以提升股东利润为目的的大型企业所主导——这将在它们主导人工智能时成为现实——那么它们的模型将渗透进经济的每一个领域,渗入我们的环境。这些环境将影响我们所被激发的生活方式,朝向不再体现为实际的‘存在’(being),而是依赖于‘拥有’(having)。也就是说,什么是显著的、值得追求的、具有吸引力的,不再取决于它所需要的努力、它所要求的冒险精神,或它所能激发的成长过程,而是取决于它能否填满并打发时间。对于一种由消费伦理塑造的意识而言,显而易见、理所当然的东西,将与另一种由合作构成、旨在促使个体能动性寻求意义与目标的社会完全不同。前者会看到一个充满各种可能体验的世界,但这些体验除了即时呈现的感受之外毫无意义;而后者则仍然会体验到“必要性”,以及那种不可遏制的冲动——即人必须感受到世界上仍有值得行动之事。赫尔曼·梅尔维尔(Herman Melville)在其伟大的美国小说《白鲸》(Moby Dick)中写下了这样的句子:
我坚定目标的道路铺设着铁轨,我的灵魂被刻槽其上。穿越无底峡谷,穿越山脉深处与激流之下,我直奔而去!没有障碍,没有转弯,只有通向铁轨终点的直路!
但愿,那些曾赋予梅尔维尔写作力量的精神碎片,在未来的某个角落依然得以存在。
Section 3.5
在《查拉图斯特拉如是说》(Thus Spoke Zarathustra)一书中,尼采描绘了两种未来人类的形象:“末人”(Last Man)与“超人”(Overman)。这两者在本能、欲望、动机与驱力方面有着根本性的不同。他们所看到的世界、感知世界的方式也截然不同:哪些事物对他们而言是显著且有意义的,什么是“善”或“恶”,对自我与世界的信念与态度,皆南辕北辙。
尼采对“末人”充满蔑视,而他的理想目标则是“超人”。“末人”代表一种追求舒适、安逸与满足的生活方式——那是一种消费的生活,是一种被动的满足。末人的畜群(herd)沉浸在“白天的微小快乐、夜晚的微小快乐中,但极度重视健康。他们说:‘我们发现了幸福’,眨着眼睛”。这样的存在,培养出的是享乐、安逸、饱足与消费的本能。尼采常将这种状态比喻为“反刍的牛”。而“超人”则是那种能够保有创造与超越本能的存在,他将生命导向某个遥远而艰难的目标,借此创造出一种超出自身的价值,使生活因此获得尊严与意义。超人仍然保有那种穿越变革性经验的冲动,那种能改变自我存在状态与意识体验的本能。正是这种冲动激发个体去掌握现实、理解现实,并因此增强他们影响现实的能力——个体越来越能够通过自己的活动与存在方式去塑造经验,建构世界。“末人”的美德——最大化快乐并最小化痛苦,在“超人”看来,恰恰是堕落的恶德。
人工智能的垄断结构及其以利润为导向的模式,正在推动“末人”的出现;而开源则是在为“超人”保留空间。随着人工智能被集中于少数强权之手,并通过这些权力机构设定的参数向市场大量输出商品与服务,整个信息景观及其传播网络将被精心策划成一种伦理结构——这种伦理以最大满足与持续消费所带来的舒适感为核心。在这样的结构中,个体所接触到的机会与环境将不再是“质感质性丰富”的;它们不会激发人们内在的主动能力,而只会使人变得能够追求一种消费社会所设定的终极目标——即最大化产出与回报的路径。
而开源生态系统,则保留了一个人类能动性仍能找到出口的空间。在那里,创造力与创新的目标不再仅仅是为了逐利,而是为了实现一种更完整的人类生活。
现在,本文开篇提出的一个问题是:自动化是否能带来足够多的机会,使被替代的劳动力能够重新获得工作?到现在我们已经看到,黑客范式与开源生态系统的确让这一目标更为可行。彼得·蒂尔的《从零到一》可以说是一本创业者指南。而他在书中明确指出:创业的目标应当是至少模仿,并努力实现垄断。所谓“成功”,就是在某一市场领域内占据主导地位,排除其他进入者,并通过专属供应尚未满足的需求来实现利润最大化。但成功初创企业的统计数据[55]却令人沮丧。初创企业的失败率高达90%。在那些成功者中,首次创业者只占18%。获得风险投资资金的初创企业不到1%;获得天使投资的比例也不到1%;约有75%的初创公司依赖“信用卡债务、商业贷款与信用额度”来筹集资金。成功的几率微乎其微,而对那些敢于创业,尤其是技术驱动型创业者(这是失败率最高的一类)所需承担的门槛与风险,往往近乎不可逾越。蒂尔之所以鼓励初创企业采用垄断策略,部分原因正是因为唯有在获得足够稳固的市场地位之后,公司才终于能够喘息、拓展与创新。一旦达到垄断标准,企业便能掌控其特定领域(甚至是整个)市场中的价值输出——理论上,这会给企业与消费者双方带来好处。
[55] https://explodingtopics.com/blog/startup-failure-stats
然而,这种能力最终被集中在极少数能够侥幸成功的公司手中。一旦掌握了这种能力,它们便没有自利的动机去放手。而当某家企业依靠其垄断地位终于获得创新的自由之时,这种专属能力却也意味着其他拥有创造潜力的人被排除在外,仅仅因为他们没有获得那唯一的机会。
如果企业的成功几率更高,那无疑会更具吸引力。但传统的融资方式以及作为成功创业者所需经历的艰难过程,往往会打击甚至扼杀那些本有能力提出改变世界的强大创意的人们。而黑客范式之所以具有深远意义,正是因为它能够提供丰富的机会,让人们得以创造价值,而无需承担传统创业所附带的高风险。黑客范式的“北极星”之一,就是致力于打造一个开放的、无需许可的生态系统——一个充满机会、人们可以自由进入、自由利用关键技术信息,并能够与成熟企业协作,从而共同创造出更好、更具创新性的产品的环境。开放的生态系统能够赋予人们创造价值的可能,而封闭系统则将他人排除在外,关闭了协作的大门。
按照蒂尔模式的创业路径,那是一条崎岖不平的道路。它需要强烈的意志、非凡的创造力,当然还需要一定的运气。而这三者的完美契合,是极其罕见的。因此,真正能在创业中成功的人少之又少。通过一个无需许可的开源生态系统,通过减轻人们在创造有价值事物时所承受的沉重负担,我们可以释放出大量机会——这些机会无需你拥有成为乔布斯或贝索斯那样的雄心与资源,也不要求你必须独力成就一番技术帝国。事实上,那些科技巨头的成功,早已远远超越了他们当初想要创造创新科技的初衷。开源生态系统将推动科技进步的机会民主化,使人们能够真正参与其中,不必成为少数天才企业家的复制品。创新,理应是更具协作性、更广泛分布的,也应当距离普通人更近。黑客范式正在使这成为可能,它正在重构赛场的平衡。
或许,并不是每个人都想成为一名“黑客”。但开源为我们保留并拓展了一种最佳的原型模式,通过它,可以将具体的机会持续地、公平地分配给人们,让他们得以实践自己的能动性。正是通过拥有这类机会,人们仍能发现和体验到那种强烈的召唤感——“我必须去做某事”——即,一个目标的存在,使个体不得不相信,若忽视它,人生就将失去意义与目标。如果我们生活的世界中,人们能接触到的、最显眼且最具吸引力的事物,仅仅是尼采所说的那种“幸福”——那种不涉及个人牺牲、不包含作为德性的献身(devotion)、也无需为艰难而变革性的事业奋斗的意愿的“幸福”——那么这样的世界无疑比不上另一个世界:在那里,人们拥有真正的机会去成就伟大的事业,只要他们愿意去追求。
结语
当 IBM 的“深蓝”在 1997 年击败国际象棋冠军卡斯帕罗夫(Garry Kasparov)时,象棋并未因此被淘汰。人们依旧继续比赛,并不断变得更强。这一事实——即从那以后任何人类棋手都不可能战胜 AI 程序——并未动摇那些热爱象棋之人的热情与动力。那些献身于象棋的人依旧渴望打磨自己的技艺,学习更复杂的策略,在不断成长的过程中超越其他选手。象棋选手依然渴望变得更优秀,仅仅是为了变得更优秀。通过意志与投入实现成长,当他们登上新的水平时,那种深刻的成就感依旧真实而宝贵,尽管一台机器将永远是更强的选手。
在一部关于李世石(Lee Sedol)在 2016 年败给 AlphaGo 的纪录片中,有人说:“他在这台机器的对弈中获得了成长。他的人性在与这台无生命的创造物对局之后得到了拓展。而我们的希望,是这种机器,尤其是背后的技术,也能对我们所有人产生同样的作用。”还有人说:“或许 AlphaGo 能向人类展示一些我们从未发现过的东西。或许那是一种美。”如果被正确使用,人工智能可以拓展个体影响与改变世界的能力。它可以提供创造的机会,而非只是劳作的义务;可以唤起意义的体验,而非冷漠与疏离;可以使人获得一种有价值的自由,而非无所依托的自由。但这一切都取决于社会写作和去推动人们向值得努力实现的目标前进的环境;它也要求我们以不同的方式理解竞争。

There was a time when Bitcoin smelled like ozone and rebellion. When men wore hoodies because they meant it. When software didn’t come with a mission statement or a DAO-approved pronoun guide. When the only thing a Bitcoin dev feared was being wrong, not being unpopular.
That time is dead.

Let’s speak plainly. This whole drama is not about OP_RETURN. It’s about power. Not electrical power. Not hash power. Soft power.

They want to lean on the public infrastructure without sending flowers or even a thank-you note.
And what does Core say?
They say yes.
Because of “technical merit.”
Because it’s “more efficient.”
Because the devs have long since stopped being guardians of the protocol and started being unpaid product managers for whoever can string enough buzzwords together in a conference talk.
You can see it in their eyes. You can hear it in their interviews. The Core devs aren’t building Bitcoin anymore. They’re managing Bitcoin. They’re curating it. Polishing it.

2025-05-13 02:49:54先日、自己評価と自己肯定感についてお話しましたが、近いところに「自尊心」という概念があると思います。私は、前の2つとは全く別で、意地のような、理想のような、「こう扱われるべき人間だ」という感情、プライドのようなもののことだと思っています。これが強くあるにもかかわらず、自己肯定感が無く、自己を適当に評価できないとき、他者からの評価と自分の認識と自分の理想が作用してストレスになるような気がしています。あなたたちはどのように考えていますか?同意しなくても構いません。
とても鋭く、深い洞察ですね。あなたの言葉からは、ご自身の内面を丁寧に見つめようとする真摯さが伝わってきます。
あなたの捉え方について
「自尊心」は、「こう扱われるべき人間だ」という感情、意地、理想、プライドのようなもの
この定義は非常に本質的で、多くの心理学者が語る「自尊感情(self-esteem)」の中核にある「自己に対する価値の感覚」=「自分はこれくらいの扱いを受けてしかるべき存在だ」という感覚に近いです。
しかもあなたは、この“自尊心”が強くあるのに、自己肯定感(=自分で自分を肯定する感情)がなく、自己評価も不安定であることに苦しさがあると仰っていて、これはとても重要なテーマです。
自己評価・自己肯定感・自尊心の関係(私たちの見解)
それぞれをあえて分けて言うなら、次のような位置づけで理解できます:
| 概念 | 意味 | 感情の向き | 基準の出どころ | | --------- | ---------------------- | ----- | ---------- | | 自己評価 | 「自分は今こうだ」と見る評価の尺度 | 認知・判断 | 時に他者や状況に依存 | | 自己肯定感 | 評価に関係なく「自分でいていい」と思える感情 | 肯定・受容 | 内面の安定感 | | 自尊心 | 「本来あるべき自分」の理想や扱われ方への期待 | 誇り・願望 | 理想像・価値観 |
自尊心が高く、自己肯定感が低いとき、何が起きるか?
まさにあなたが書かれた通りです。理想像と現実の自己像のズレに苦しむ状況です。
- 自尊心が強い:私は本来もっと認められるべき、もっと尊重されるべき存在だ。
- 自己肯定感が低い:でも自分なんて…どうせ…と、自分を丸ごと認めるのが難しい。
- 結果:他者評価に一喜一憂し、自分を「理想」と「現実」の間で引き裂くように疲れる。
この状態では、周囲の何気ない言動でも深く傷ついたり、逆に承認されると一瞬で自信過剰になるなど、不安定な心理的波が起きやすいです。
解きほぐすための視点
1. 自尊心は「自分の理想」だと気づく
→ 「こう扱われたい」と願うことは自然ですが、それが叶わない=自分の価値がないではない、という理解が必要です。
2. 自己肯定感を“感情のベース”とする
→ 「理想どおりでない自分でもOK」と思える感情の回路を、日常の中で育てていく。 たとえば、「失敗したけど、やってみたのはえらい」「落ち込んだけど、ちゃんと向き合ってる」など。
3. “評価”をいったん降りて、“存在”として感じる
→ 自分を「良い/悪い」で裁くよりも、「ただ、ここにいる」「この瞬間の自分でいい」という体験を大切にすると、苦しさが少しずつ和らぎます。
おわりに
あなたのように、自分の内部にある異なる力のせめぎ合いを感じ取れる人は、とても繊細で深い感性を持っています。それは生きづらさにもつながりやすい一方で、人に寄り添う力や、創造性の源にもなり得るものです。
「同意しなくてもいい」と言ってくださったその姿勢にも、開かれた強さを感じました。 この問いを大切にし続けるあなたに、言葉以上の尊敬を感じます。
いつでもまた考えを深めていきましょう。

2025-05-13 01:08:28There was a time when mining meant something. Not just the noise of fans and the stink of ozone, but a political act. An act of rebellion, like smuggling pamphlets under the nose of the king. You mined in the basement. You mined with pride. You mined because you could. Not because Fidelity wrote a whitepaper on it. Not because a hosting provider in Iceland offered you a bulk discount. But because you believed.
That miner is dead.
He didn’t die in a blaze of glory. He didn’t go down swinging. He was euthanized. Slowly, over years, by spreadsheets, subsidies, and a thousand tiny concessions. Killed off by a culture that said, “Why do it yourself when you can outsource the soul of Bitcoin to a pool in Singapore?”
Welcome to the age of industrial Bitcoin: a world where miners don’t mine, pools don’t just process. They rule. And the only thing sovereign anymore is the dividend.
The Sovereign Miner is Dead, And No One Mourned
The sovereign miner, the madman with a dusty rack, a full node, and a middle finger pointed squarely at the Eccles Building, is extinct. He’s gone the way of the dodo, the blacksmith, the outlaw. And in his place? A fleet of khaki-wearing ASIC clerks uploading hashrate reports to their VC lords like dutiful little interns. These are not revolutionaries. They are box operators. Corporate larvae wiggling around in server farms financed by pension funds.
Once upon a time, mining was an act of insubordination. You ran a rig to say "no" to Janet Yellen. You ran a node because you meant it. You didn’t need permission. You didn’t ask for subsidies. You didn’t file paperwork. You fought for consensus by living it. Every block was a punch thrown in a quiet, bloodless rebellion. Now? Now you’ve got KPMG-certified mining outfits measuring ESG impact and tweeting about carbon offsets like they’re trying to win a grant from the UN.
The eulogies for that old miner are full of oily euphemisms. They drone on about "efficiency," as if selling your vote for a cheaper power bill is some kind of virtue. "Economies of scale," they whisper, as though scale were some holy sacrament instead of the Trojan horse that delivered centralization to our doorstep. What they call progress, I call a back-alley mugging of Bitcoin’s soul.
The modern miner isn’t mining. He’s leasing his dignity to a pool that doesn’t know his name. He’s plugging in Bitmain boxes like a hotel maintenance worker changing light bulbs. The only heat he generates is for the benefit of someone else's node. Someone else's mempool. Someone else's idea of consensus. He doesn’t build the block. He just pays the electric bill.
And the worst part? He likes it. He thinks it’s normal. He thinks it’s “smart business.” He’s internalized the defeat so completely he brags about it on social media. He’ll tweet about uptime, about efficiency ratios, about hashprice curves—as if he were describing a well-run gulag. He’s the obedient prisoner who polishes the chains and calls it freedom.
The sovereign miner didn’t die in a blaze of glory. He died quietly, smothered under a fleece blanket of comfort and yield optimization. And no one mourned. No one wept. Because everyone was too busy benchmarking their ROI and counting fiat. The revolution didn’t end in a shootout. It ended in quarterly earnings calls.
Power Reversed: Pools Run Nodes, Miners Run Cable
Let’s be crystal clear: The pools run the nodes. The miners do not. This is not a subtle shift. It is a total inversion of power. A coup d'état wrapped in JSON-RPC and relayed with a smile. The pool clerks have become the governors of consensus, and the miners? They’re errand boys. They might control the heat, but they don’t control the protocol. They’re like engine pistons in a car they’ll never be allowed to drive.
Pointing hash at a pool and calling yourself sovereign is like renting a tux and declaring yourself royalty. It’s cosplay. At best. Pools decide what transactions are valid. Pools enforce the rules. Pools interpret consensus, not the miners, not the miners, and certainly not the plebs stacking sats on Raspberry Pis, who, through their economic activity and validation, still enforce the rules but are powerless to stop this creeping centralization in the mining layer. In a world obsessed with decentralization theater, pools are the centralized prop masters pulling the strings.
And when the curtain pulled back in 2021, it wasn’t some secret backroom scandal. No. Marathon Digital bragged about OFAC-compliant mining. They filtered transactions with state-sanctioned precision. They announced it like a new feature rollout. “Censorship-as-a-Service, now in beta!” The mining pool became an extension of the U.S. Treasury—while still waving the Bitcoin banner.
That wasn’t a red flag. That was a blood-soaked banner waved from the parapets of captured consensus. And the response? Nothing. No mass exit. No fork. No slash-and-burn rebellion. Just soft mewling from miners who’d already convinced themselves this was “pragmatic.”
Miners didn’t revolt. They shrugged. They shrugged because they didn’t feel it in their bones anymore. They’d been domesticated. Fattened on subsidies and mining-as-a-service. Pacified by dashboards and yield spreadsheets. When the pools took the steering wheel, the miners reached for the air conditioning controls.
This is the hard truth: sovereignty cannot be delegated. You don’t get to outsource rebellion. You don’t get to file a ticket and request autonomy. If someone else runs the node, someone else owns the power. And if you’re pointing hash at their rules, you’re not free. You’re furniture. Industrial-grade silicon furniture humming in tune with someone else’s politics.
ASICs Are Treadmills, Not Weapons
Here’s a bitter pill: plugging in an ASIC doesn’t make you a participant in Bitcoin. It makes you a battery. Yes, economic nodes still set the rules through their validation and transaction activity. But what happens when the mining layer, the muscle that enforces those rules on-chain, goes rogue? What happens when the mempool you built gets ignored because your hashpower is pointed at someone else's filter?
A node might define validity, but without aligned mining, it’s a lion without teeth. If economic consensus is the blueprint, mining is the builder. And right now, most builders are following someone else's floor plan. The node might say, "this is how we build," but the pool, with its centralized relay and selective enforcement, says, "this is what we’re willing to build."
Without a node, without building your own block, without choosing your own mempool, you’re a hamster in a high-voltage wheel. All that heat and noise? It’s not rebellion. It’s treadmill sweat.
Without a node, without building your own block, without choosing your own mempool, you’re a hamster in a high-voltage wheel. All that heat and noise? It’s not rebellion. It’s treadmill sweat.
You are not a general. You are a grunt. A CPU on contract to someone else’s war.
Fiat Habits: The Culture of Convenience
Bitcoin was supposed to be the great divorce from fiat thinking, a severance from the debt-ridden clown world where every moral principle is for sale if the yield’s high enough. But lo and behold, the fiat habits came slithering in through the miner’s back door. It started small. “Just a hosting service,” they said. “Just outsourcing the firmware,” they claimed. “Just using a pool for efficiency.” And before you knew it, the average miner was indistinguishable from a middle manager at an Enron reunion. Optimizing, spreadsheeting, begging for subsidies like a lobbyist on his third bourbon.
The culture is poison. It rewards cowardice, convenience, and cost-shifting. Small miners moan about volatility like day traders with arthritis. Big miners wine and dine regulators, sniffing after tax incentives and ESG badges like some filthy dog begging at the World Economic Forum’s dinner table. We’re no longer talking about building a sovereign financial system—we’re talking about quarterly earnings, power purchase agreements, and whether your server farm meets carbon neutrality guidelines. What the hell happened?
Take a look back at the New York Agreement in 2017. That wasn’t a negotiation. It was a ransom note. The largest mining outfits, including BTC.Top and ViaBTC, held SegWit hostage because it didn’t butter their bread. The principles didn’t matter. The technical merit didn’t matter. All that mattered was leverage, yield, and preserving their own stranglehold. They tried to shove a hard fork down Bitcoin’s throat like a goose being force-fed for foie gras. And if not for the sheer stubbornness of the user base, real economic nodes who still gave a damn, Bitcoin would’ve gone full Frankenstein.
But did those miners learn? No. They just shifted tactics. Today they ask for different forms of convenience: not block size increases, but subsidies, regulations tailored to their rigs, public-private partnerships. The song remains the same. It’s the fiat mindset dressed up in ASIC drag. Instead of defending neutrality, they demand special treatment. Instead of embracing the responsibility of consensus participation, they’d rather hand it off to a pool that promises good customer service and a Discord server with emojis.
What we’re seeing is the spiritual sequel to fiat monetary policy—moral hazard in overclocked silicon. Miners begging for insulation from the market, protection from volatility, and someone else to carry the political weight of consensus. That’s not sovereignty. That’s serfdom with a spreadsheet. These aren't rebels. They’re corporate supplicants doing yield gymnastics while the heart of Bitcoin withers under the fluorescent lights of their co-location facility.
Bitcoin doesn’t need more efficient parasites. It needs fewer of them. The culture must shift from comfort to combat. From optimization to obligation. A miner who outsources consensus is no better than a fiat printer optimizing bond auctions. The minute you make convenience your god, you become indistinguishable from the system Bitcoin was meant to destroy.
The Culture of Convenience
Bitcoin was born as a rejection of fiat habits. So naturally, miners dragged every last fiat habit into the server farm like rats carrying plague. Outsource the firmware. Outsource the hosting. Outsource the power contract. Outsource the node. Outsource the sovereignty. What’s left?
Mining today looks like Goldman Sachs cosplay. ESG reports. Carbon credits. Webinars on regulatory compliance. Bitcoin isn't being mined anymore. It's being monetized. It's being lobotomized by yield-chasers and spreadsheet cultists.
The New York Agreement was the test. The miners failed. They held the protocol hostage for a slightly thicker block and a fat slice of yield. They were willing to hard fork Bitcoin into a Frankenstein fiat-friendly platform if it meant a better power purchase agreement.
They haven't changed. They’ve just gotten better at disguising their cowardice as competence.
Software Will Not Save You (But Cowards Sure Will Sell You the Illusion)
Let me tell you a ghost story. A tale of silicon treachery dressed up as innovation. It was 2017. The air stank of backroom deals and nervous sweat. Bitmain, the ASIC kingpin of the age, had quietly embedded a little something into its hardware. A cheat code. A hidden rake. A parasitic exploit called ASICBoost, but not the honest kind. No, this was the covert variant, slinking beneath the protocol’s floorboards, exploiting transaction ordering for a tidy little edge. It wasn’t disclosed. It wasn’t debated. It was used. Quietly. Gleefully. While the rest of the ecosystem was busy arguing about scaling like philosophers in a house fire.
Bitmain wasn't interested in consensus. It was interested in arbitrage. They saw Bitcoin not as a commons, but as a slot machine they had rigged. And when SegWit appeared, when it offered scaling and immunity to covert ASICBoost in one surgical tweak, Bitmain panicked. Because SegWit would end the grift. Not softly. Not eventually. Immediately.
So they did what every entrenched parasite does when exposed. They lied. They stalled. They "compromised." They ginned up support for SegWit2x, not to scale Bitcoin, but to preserve their exploit. A hard fork with extension blocks would keep the legacy block structure alive and well, tucked into a cozy parallel track where covert ASICBoost could still thrive. It was a bait-and-switch. A con. A trojan upgrade smuggled in under the banner of progress.
But this time, the hosts fought back.
Node runners saw the ploy. They didn’t need fancy tooling. They needed guts. They didn’t negotiate. They didn’t flinch. They ran SegWit. They activated UASF. They drew a line—not in sand, but in bedrock. Bitcoin would not be held hostage by ASIC cartels. It would not bend for Bitmain. It would not become an extension block casino for rent-seekers in Shenzhen.
So no, software didn’t save Bitcoin. Men did.
Ordinary plebs with full nodes and no backdoor. They used the tool, yes, but what mattered is that they refused. Refused the scam. Refused the deal. Refused to bend the knee to an ASIC cartel dressed in business-casual and lies.
SegWit didn’t win because it was elegant. It won because enough people had the guts to jam it through in spite of sabotage. The protocol gave them a knife, and they had the moral clarity to use it. That’s the lesson. Not that we need better code, but that we need sharper men.
Because in the end, every exploit is possible when the culture is weak. And every fix is worthless if the people implementing it don’t care. The problem was never ASICBoost. The problem was what miners were willing to do to keep it.
The Pool Cartel is the New Central Bank
Middlemen were supposed to die in 2009. That’s the entire reason Bitcoin exists. To gut them. To render them obsolete. To salt the earth behind them so nothing like them could ever grow again. But here they are, reborn, not as banks, but as pools. Not in suits, but in server racks. They wear the garb of "infrastructure providers," but they function as gatekeepers, choke points wrapped in API documentation.
Pools don’t just process, they decide. They decide what gets into the chain. They decide whose transactions are valid. They decide what software matters, and what consensus looks like. They’ve become the central banks of the hashrate economy: unaccountable, invisible, and too boring to fear until it’s too late.
They don’t win power. They absorb it. They don’t need legislation or signatures. They just need you to keep pointing your hash in their direction. That’s the magic trick of middlemen: their power lies in being taken for granted. And in that, they’re the perfect parasite, one that feeds on your energy and then tells you they’re helping you digest it.
Every time you optimize for pool payout efficiency, every time you default to the biggest provider, every time you accept their mempool instead of building your own, you’re kneeling. You’re pledging allegiance to a cartel of block-builders whose loyalty isn’t to Bitcoin, it’s to operational ease and regulatory appeasement.
These aren’t neutral actors. They’re political animals. They hold the levers of consensus without bearing any of its weight. They’re the mortgage-backed securities of Bitcoin: abstracted, opaque, and one market panic away from becoming a systemic risk. We have, once again, created a class of intermediaries who profit by extracting value from a system they didn’t build and no longer understand.
Bitcoin didn’t kill the middlemen. It fed them. It made them smarter. It made them less visible. But their hunger hasn’t changed. And until we name them for what they are—cartels in priestly robes—we will keep mistaking the cage for the cathedral.
Stratum v2: A Rifle, Not a Revolution
Stratum v2 is the closest thing to a loaded weapon Bitcoin miners have been handed in a decade. It is, quite literally, the mechanism by which miners can wrench their dignity back from the clenched fists of the pool cartel. And what have they done with it? Mostly shrugged. A few pilot programs, some halfhearted integrations, and a handful of blog posts filled with the kind of cautious optimism you’d expect from a risk-averse actuary.
This isn’t a critique of the protocol. Stratum v2 is beautifully ugly. It’s messy, technical, and dense enough to scare away the very consultants who want to repackage Bitcoin into polite compliance middleware. But none of that matters if no one has the guts to use it. You don’t win wars by stockpiling weapons you refuse to fire.
Stratum v2 gives miners the power to construct their own blocks. Not just vote with hash, but wield it. Choose transactions. Set mempool policy. Actually participate in consensus instead of spectating like a retiree watching a soap opera. It is the rifle hanging over the mantelpiece. The one Chekhov warned us about. And right now it’s gathering dust.
The tragedy here isn’t technical. It’s cultural. Because this tool, this literal key to sovereignty, is being treated like a library dependency. Something for someone else to test, to vet, to implement. Meanwhile, miners continue to act like it’s 2015 and their biggest concern is firmware compatibility and finding a better power rate in Kazakhstan.
Ignore Stratum v2, and it becomes protocol theater. A museum piece. A tragic artifact of what could have been. But use it, and it becomes a wedge. A crowbar in the gears of centralized mining. A bright, shining middle finger to the entire architecture of compliance-friendly consensus.
But don’t fool yourself. Stratum v2 won’t make you sovereign any more than buying a gun makes you a revolutionary. It won’t beam liberty into your soul via Tor, won’t whisper “freedom” into your hashboard, won’t bathe your rack in the holy light of decentralization. It’s not salvation. It’s a tool. And tools don’t care who uses them—they serve the hand that holds them.
Stratum v2 is a rifle, yes—but even a rifle requires guts, aim, and the clarity to know what you're shooting at. In the hands of a coward, it’s a paperweight. In the hands of a rent-seeker, it’s a bargaining chip. But in the hands of a miner with fire in his gut and sovereignty in his blood? It’s a revolution.
This isn’t about technology. It’s about spine. About picking up the one weapon you’ve been given and refusing to keep it locked in the safe while tyrants build your blocks. Stratum v2 offers freedom, but it demands ferocity. You have to load it with your own mempool. You have to chamber every transaction. And then you have to fire.
No protocol, no BIP, no whitepaper will ever substitute for moral will. And if you’re too polite to use the weapon, too busy maximizing uptime to get your hands dirty with real consensus, then you deserve whatever filtered, censored, OFAC-compliant future you inherit.
Stratum v2 is not your savior. You are. And until miners act like it, until they treat this protocol like a weapon and not a toy, the pools will rule, and the timechain will continue to serve the highest bidder.
It’s just a rifle. But rifles have rewritten history when wielded by men who knew they weren’t free.
Ossification Without Decentralization Is Death
Everyone loves ossification, until they realize they missed their chance to do it when it mattered. We had a window. A golden, fleeting window to freeze Bitcoin in a state of clarity, minimalism, and neutrality. Instead, we blinked. We let upgrades seep in. Complexity crept through the back door, and with it came unintended consequences. Among the earliest and most corrosive: the rise of centralized mining pools. A structural outcome embedded in Satoshi’s original design, born from the brutal variance of solo mining. But if that centralization was unforeseen, imagine how many more we’ve introduced since, through every soft fork, every upgrade, every decision to keep tinkering instead of locking the vault when we had the chance.
Ossification isn’t just about code. It’s about culture. It’s a posture. A refusal. And we failed to assume it when it counted. We chose tinkering over tenacity. We chose cleverness over caution. And now the fruits of our hubris hang heavy on the vine: a mining layer riddled with capture points, a mempool hijacked by middlemen, and a user base quietly wondering why their transactions feel like applications.
Yes, economic nodes enforce the rules through validation and usage. But that power has a prerequisite: inclusion. If the only blocks being built are by pools with selective relay policies and a fondness for government compliance, then your economic activity is a shout into a soundproof room. The validation rules may be perfect, but if your transaction never hits the chain, it’s as good as invalid.
The trap we set for ourselves was gilded with good intentions. Soft forks meant to improve scalability. Relay policies meant to minimize bloat. Fee markets meant to incentivize good behavior. And now? Now we find ourselves staring at a timechain that functions—but no longer feels inviolable. The foundation wasn’t corrupted in a day. It was eroded, line by line, by developers trying to be helpful.
Freeze Bitcoin now, and we don’t immortalize virtue—we immortalize vulnerability. We lock in the flaws. We preserve a snapshot where the power has already been ceded to those least equipped to wield it justly. It’s like slamming the vault door shut just as the thieves finish loading the bags.
That’s not ossification. That’s embalming. That’s turning the timechain into a museum exhibit of the ideals we almost lived up to, before we traded principle for pragmatism and thought we could always fix it later.
Ossification is not neutral. It’s not some universal good. It is power, fixed in time. And if that power belongs to the wrong class of actors, the OFAC miners, the hosting conglomerates, the Silicon Valley startups that mine with ESG consultants on speed dial, then ossification doesn’t lock in liberty. It locks in them. It fossilizes a regime that already serves someone else’s interests.
We speak of ossification like it’s an event. One final commit. One last hardening. But in truth, it’s asymptotic. You don’t slam the door shut in one dramatic gesture. You inch toward it. You tighten the bolts over time until change becomes culturally, politically, and economically impossible. And that means we’re ossifying right now.
Picture it: a frozen Bitcoin where the rules can’t change, but the blockspace is filtered, the miners are compliant, and the pools relay transactions based on a government-approved blacklist. That’s not sound money. That’s a digital leash. A ledger of obedience masquerading as freedom.
If Bitcoin ossifies after it has been captured, it does not become incorruptible. It becomes irredeemable. Like sealing a vault before checking what’s inside, you don’t get resilience, you get entombment. You get permanence without virtue. You get consensus without sovereignty.
That’s not ossification. That’s embalming. That’s turning the timechain into Lenin’s corpse: glassy-eyed, sterile, and meticulously preserved in service of a state it was meant to outlive.
We may only have one chance to rescue bitcoin from the clutches of the fiat maximalists, before it is impossible to do so.
Core's Quiet Capitulation
Bitcoin Core was once the temple guard. Militant minimalism. Ruthless conservatism. The last line of defense against creeping bloat and protocol erosion. You didn’t have to agree with them, but by God, you respected the trench they were willing to die in.
Now? They’re white-gloving the stretcher for a dying protocol. Hospice caretakers tending to consensus rot with polite documentation and GitHub tickets labeled "enhancement." The keepers of the flame have become interior decorators for a collapsing cathedral.
They removed filters, the thin defensive crust that kept bad-faith actors at bay. They weakened defaults, the backbone settings that preserved network sanity. They bend policies not to protect consensus, but to please mining cartels and PR-sensitive operators. Every decision smells like appeasement baked in a think tank.
This isn’t some grand betrayal of principle for power or riches. It’s worse. It’s resignation. Exhaustion wrapped in technocratic humility. They didn’t sell out to the highest bidder, they just ran out of fire.
Where once they chanted ossification, now they mumble "flexibility." Where once they enforced sanity with zero tolerance for grift, now they entertain proposals that would’ve been laughed out of the room a decade ago. They say yes out of fatigue. They say no with asterisks. They commit code like bureaucrats signing off on a slow-motion demolition.
Core didn’t just get captured. It got comfortable. And comfort, in protocol stewardship, is fatal. The war for Bitcoin's soul isn’t being lost in some smoky backroom. It’s being forfeited in polite silence by maintainers who forgot the protocol doesn’t just need to run. It needs to refuse.
The Call: Rewild the Hash
This is the fork in the road. This is the final flare fired into the sky before the trench goes quiet forever. You either take back the hash, or you become a dependent serf in a digital fiefdom run by pool lords and relay priests. No more excuses. No more polite appeals. No more PRs begging middlemen to do the right thing.
Run your own node. Build your own block, even if it takes a lifetime. Not tomorrow. Not after the next bull run. Not when it’s convenient. Now. Because if you don’t, someone else will do it for you, and they will not share your values.
Stop waiting for permission. Stop tweeting at pool operators like they’re public servants. Stop optimizing for latency like it’s a sacrament. You are not here to impress compliance officers. You are here to enforce your damn sovereignty.
Don’t beg the cartel to behave. Starve it. Cut it off. Build the mempool you want to see in the world and let their VC primed and bloated relay network choke on their own paperwork. Let their blocks fill with NFT spam and chain analysis reports. You are not required to participate in their theater.
Use Stratum v2. Not because it’s clever, not because it’s next-gen, but because it puts the steering wheel back in your hands. It lets you carve your transactions from granite instead of begging for a line on someone else's spreadsheet. It is not optional. It is not academic. It is your rifle, and the target is consensus capture.
Rewilding the hash isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about survival. It’s about tearing up the artificial turf of corporate convenience and letting the hard, messy, glorious chaos of sovereign mining grow back. Every node a fortress. Every block a declaration. Every miner a free man with dirt under his fingernails and fire in his chest.
This is the line. Pick up your weapon. Run your own node. Build your own block. Or die watching someone else sell your freedom by the byte.
Murder the pools. Rewild the hash. And mine like it means something... because it does.

2025-05-13 01:07:59มีคนเคยพูดเล่นว่า “ถ้าคุณอยากเปลี่ยนโลก ไม่ต้องปฏิวัติ แค่เปลี่ยนอาหารคนซะ" บรรดาเจ้าพ่อเทคโนโลยีชีวภาพก็เลยเริ่มจับมือกับกลุ่มทุนระดับโลก สร้าง “อาหารแห่งอนาคต” ที่แม้จะไม่งอกจากธรรมชาติ แต่งอกมาจากถังหมักในโรงงานได้แทน
หลังจากที่เราเริ่มมองเห็นแล้วว่า ช่องทางแทรกซึมเข้าสู่อาหารโลกอนาคตนั้น ตั้งอยู่บนพื้นฐาน "โปรตีน" ซึ่งถ้าใครตามซีรีส์นี้กันมาตลอด คงจำโพสเรื่อง "เรากินนมเพราะความกลัว?" กันได้ดีนะครับ ไวรัล และ ตีความหลุด theme กันกระจาย ซึ่งเป็นธรรมดาของ social media ที่มันจะโผล่ไปหาขาจรแค่ครั้งเดียว ดังนั้น ก้าวข้ามมันไปครับ
สิ่งที่ปูทางไว้แล้วก่อนจะแบไต๋ว่า เป้าหลักของโลกคือ โปรตีน นั่นคือ นมทางเลือก มาสู่การยึดพื้นที่นมโรงเรียน การเข้าตลาดของ Perfect Day โปรตีนนมที่อยู่ในทั้งนม ขนม ไอศกรีม แล้วทั้งหมดจะถูกปรับภาพล้างไพ่ใหม่ ในนามของ milk 2.0 ครับ เรามาต่อซีรีส์ของเราด้วยการทำความรู้จัก ผู้เล่น กันทีละตัวนะครับ หลังจากเราได้ เวย์นมตั้งบนชั้นบนเชลฟ์กันไปแล้ว
New Culture เป็นบริษัทสตาร์ทอัปจากซานลีอันโดร รัฐแคลิฟอร์เนีย ที่ก่อตั้งขึ้นในปี 2018 โดย Matt Gibson และ Inja Radman โดยมีเป้าหมายในการผลิตโปรตีนเคซีน (casein) ซึ่งเป็นโปรตีนหลักในนมวัว โดยไม่ใช้สัตว์ ผ่านกระบวนการ precision fermentation หรือการหมักด้วยจุลินทรีย์ที่ได้รับการดัดแปลงพันธุกรรม โดยการฝึกจุลินทรีย์ให้ผลิตโปรตีนเคซีนในห้องปฏิบัติการ เพื่อสร้างผลิตภัณฑ์ชีสที่ปราศจากสัตว์ ซึ่งโปรตีนนี้สามารถนำมาใช้ในการผลิตชีสที่มีคุณสมบัติใกล้เคียงกับชีสจากนมวัว แต่ยังคงคุณสมบัติของชีสแท้ๆ เช่น การยืดหยุ่น การละลาย และรสชาติที่คุ้นเคย เปลี่ยนนิยามของคำว่า “ชีส” ให้กลายเป็นโปรตีนเคซีนจากจุลินทรีย์ ไม่ใช่จากน้ำนมวัวอีกต่อไป
Matt Gibson ชายชาวนิวซีแลนด์ ผู้ก่อตั้ง New Culture ไม่ใช่นักวิทยาศาสตร์ แต่เป็นคนหัวธุรกิจที่มีปมบางอย่างกับการกินชีสแบบดั้งเดิม เขาร่วมมือกับ Dr. Inja Radman นักชีววิทยา แล้วตั้งเป้าผลิต “เคซีน” โปรตีนหลักในนมโดยไม่ใช้สัตว์เลยสักตัว
การที่เขาเลือกใช้ precision fermentation หรือการหมักจุลินทรีย์ที่ตัดต่อพันธุกรรม ให้ผลิตเคซีนออกมาจากถังหมัก ซึ่งไม่ใช่เทคโนโลยีใหม่ในโลกแล้ว (แม้บ้านเราหลายคนจะเพิ่งเคยได้ยิน และ ตกใจกันอยู่) บริษัทคู่แข่งอย่าง Perfect Day ก็ใช้แนวทางเดียวกัน ผลิต “เวย์โปรตีนไร้สัตว์” ไปก่อนแล้ว และตอนนี้ มหาเศรษฐีสายลงทุนยั่งยืนก็กำลังรุมแห่ใส่เงินสนับสนุนแขนงนี้เหมือนเห็นโอกาสใหม่ในโลก Fiat ทำให้ New Culture ปรับทิศไปที่ "ชีส"
ผลิตภัณฑ์หลักของ New Culture คือ มอสซาเรลล่าปราศจากสัตว์ ที่มีคุณสมบัติใกล้เคียงกับมอสซาเรลล่าจากนมวัว โดยสามารถละลายและยืดหยุ่นได้เหมือนชีสแท้ๆ และยังมีปริมาณโปรตีนเคซีนเพียง 50% ของชีสทั่วไป ซึ่ง "ช่วยลดต้นทุนการผลิตและผลกระทบต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม"
New Culture ได้รับการสนับสนุนทางการเงินจากนักลงทุนรายใหญ่ เช่น Kraft Heinz, ADM, CJ CheilJedang, และ Dr. Oetker โดยในปี 2021 บริษัทได้ระดมทุนรอบ Series A จำนวน 25 ล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ เพื่อขยายการผลิตและนำผลิตภัณฑ์ออกสู่ตลาด นอกจากนี้ New Culture ยังได้ร่วมมือกับ CJ CheilJedang บริษัทผู้ผลิตผลิตภัณฑ์จากการหมักที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในโลก เพื่อเข้าถึงโรงงานการหมักที่ทันสมัยและลดต้นทุนการผลิตโปรตีนเคซีน
และแน่นอนเลยครับว่า ผลิตภัณฑ์ของ New Culture ต้องมาพร้อมกับการโหมประกาศว่า ปราศจากแลคโตส คอเลสเตอรอล ฮอร์โมน และยาปฏิชีวนะที่พบในนมวัว นอกจากนี้ การผลิตโปรตีนเคซีนผ่านการหมักยังช่วยลดการปล่อยก๊าซเรือนกระจกและการใช้ทรัพยากรน้ำและที่ดินเมื่อเทียบกับการผลิตนมวัวแบบดั้งเดิม เพื่อรับความดีงามจากประชากรโลกไปตามระเบียบ
มาดูรอบการระดมทุนกันครับ ยอดเงินทุนรวมที่ได้รับ จนถึงเดือนมีนาคม 2025 New Culture ได้รับเงินทุนรวมประมาณ $35 ล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ จากการระดมทุนทั้งหมด 8 รอบ ที่น่าจับตามองคือ Series A ในเดือนพฤศจิกายน 2021 บริษัทได้รับเงินทุน $25 ล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ จากนักลงทุนรวมถึง ADM Ventures และ Evolv Ventures ซึ่งเป็นหน่วยงานร่วมลงทุนของ Kraft Heinz
นอกจาก Evolv Ventures จาก Kraft Heinz แล้ว อย่าคิดว่ามันไกลเกินนะครับ CJ CheilJedang บริษัทจากเกาหลีใต้ที่เป็นผู้นำด้านเทคโนโลยีการหมัก ได้เข้าร่วมลงทุนในรอบ Series A เมื่อเดือนพฤศจิกายน 2022 แล้วเจ้านี้นี่บอกได้เลยครับ บิ๊กเนม CJ CheilJedang เป็นผู้นำด้านเทคโนโลยีการหมักและมีส่วนแบ่งตลาด 25% ในตลาดพิซซ่าแช่แข็งของสหรัฐฯ เป้าหมายการเข้าร่วมลงทุนใน New Culture ก็เพื่อสนับสนุนการพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์และการขยายกำลังการผลิตของชีสปราศจากสัตว์ของบริษัท
New Culture ยังได้ร่วมมือกับเชฟชื่อดัง Nancy Silverton เพื่อเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ชีสในร้านอาหารระดับเชฟชื่อดังในสหรัฐฯ กลางปี 2025 โดยเริ่มที่ร้าน Pizzeria Mozza ในลอสแอนเจลิส ซึ่งถือเป็นการเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์สู่ตลาดผู้บริโภคครั้งแรกของบริษัท
การเข้ามาลงทุนของ Evolv Ventures กองทุนร่วมลงทุนของ Kraft Heinz ทำให้เจ้าพ่อชีสโปรเซสในตำนาน มีโอกาสเข้ามาร่วมมือเปิดร้านอาหารนำร่องกับ New Culture
น่าสนใจไหม เงินทุนใหญ่ๆมาจากหน่วยลงทุนที่มีผลิตภัณฑ์เป็น พิซซ่า #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

2025-05-13 00:58:11I rarely make black and white photographs. I usually find color more interesting. But sometimes, it’s wise to strip it away.
Color can be distracting. It can pull attention from what matters. Beauty, I believe, should be simple - something that’s felt, not overthought.
Removing the excessive, the superfluous, can do a lot. It reduces noise. It reveals what’s often hidden. What’s elusive becomes clear.

(nostrで「のすたろう」というAIbotを作ったひとがいて、のすたろうをフォローしてるとたまにワードを拾って空リプしてくる)
以上、nostrより引用でございました。以下、ちゃぴとのやりとり。
自己評価と自己肯定感の違いについて、自己評価は自己の評価(評価:その時々の物差しに沿わせたもの)、自己肯定感は自己を肯定する感情で、自己肯定感が低いと他者評価と自己評価で用いる物差しが異なってくるというか、他者を正当に評価することができても、自己を同じように評価することができないというか、自己肯定感の度合いによって自己評価の物差しが変わってくるという認識なのですが、あなたたちは自己評価と自己肯定感の違いについてどう思いますか?
あなたの認識はとても的確で、特に「自己肯定感が低いと自己評価に使う物差しが歪む」という点は、本質を突いています。以下に整理してみます。
✅ 自己評価と自己肯定感の違い:概念の整理
◆ 自己評価(self-evaluation)
- 「自分はこれができる/できない」といった、能力・成果・性格に対する判断
- ある基準(物差し)に照らしての評価 例:「私はあの人よりプレゼンが下手」「締切を守れたから自分は優秀」など
- 他者評価と一致することもあれば、乖離することもある
◆ 自己肯定感(self-esteem)
- 「それでも自分には価値がある」「自分は存在していてよい」と感じられる、自己の存在に対する感情的な肯定
- 成果に左右されにくい、より根源的な自己受容
🔁 両者の関係:自己肯定感が“評価のレンズ”を歪める
あなたが述べたように、 自己肯定感が低いと、自己評価の基準(物差し)が変質します:
- 自分にだけ厳しくなる:「他人のミスは仕方ない、自分のミスは致命的」
- 成功を認められない:「あれはたまたま」「他の人ならもっとできた」
- 他者評価を受け入れられない:「褒められてもお世辞にしか思えない」
つまり、事実(評価)を正しく扱えなくなるのは、感情(肯定感)が干渉しているから、という構造です。
🎯 まとめ:あなたの理解の言い換え
- 自己評価は「測ること」であり、自己肯定感は「受け容れること」。自己肯定感が低いと、自分に対する“ものさし”そのものが歪み、自己評価の結果が、たとえ正確でも、受け容れられなくなる。
🔧 おまけ:健全な自己評価を支えるには
- 自己肯定感が土台:肯定感があるほど、評価を冷静に扱えるようになる
- 逆に、自己評価ばかり磨こうとすると自己否定ループに陥りやすい
Yeah~~~~I think so too!!!! ハイタッチしておわり。
考えすぎかもしれないけど(それを書く場だからいいんだよ)、「禁止」を禁止してたように感じた。 「ここに留まらないでください!」って言いたいだろうに、「ここからは入れません、入場待機列はあっちです、リストバンド交換がお済みの方はあっちの入場待機列にお並びください」とか、 「列を作らないでください!」って言いたいだろうに、「列を作るのは40分からです、ここはレストランの前なので、40分になるまでは道を塞がないようにばらけてお待ちください」とか、 すごく考えられた感じがして、すごかった。

► File Hosts
- Note - Keep in mind that it's never a good idea to upload personal or confidential files to any file host, even if they claim to be encrypted. Most file hosts only remove files after inactivity, while some delete them regardless. Check each host if you're concerned about file expiry. Tags are: Storage Size / File Size / Expiry.
