2025-05-01 21:01:55The arrival of the coronavirus brought not only illness and death but also fear and panic. In such an environment of uncertainty, people have naturally stocked up on necessities, not knowing when things will return to normal.
Retail shelves have been cleared out, and even online suppliers like Amazon and Walmart are out of stock for some items. Independent sellers on these e-commerce platforms have had to fill the gap. With the huge increase in demand, they have found that their inventory has skyrocketed in value.
Many in need of these items (e.g. toilet paper, hand sanitizer and masks) balk at the new prices. They feel they are being taken advantage of in a time of need and call for intervention by the government to lower prices. The government has heeded that call, labeling the independent sellers as "price gougers" and threatening sanctions if they don't lower their prices. Amazon has suspended seller accounts and law enforcement at all levels have threatened to prosecute. Prices have dropped as a result and at first glance this seems like a victory for fair play. But, we will have to dig deeper to understand the unseen consequences of this intervention.
We must look at the economics of the situation, how supply and demand result in a price and how that price acts as a signal that goes out to everyone, informing them of underlying conditions in the economy and helping coordinate their actions.
It all started with a rise in demand. Given a fixed supply (e.g., the limited stock on shelves and in warehouses), an increase in demand inevitably leads to higher prices. Most people are familiar with this phenomenon, such as paying more for airline tickets during holidays or surge pricing for rides.
Higher prices discourage less critical uses of scarce resources. For example, you might not pay $1,000 for a plane ticket to visit your aunt if you can get one for $100 the following week, but someone else might pay that price to visit a dying relative. They value that plane seat more than you.
*** During the crisis, demand surged and their shelves emptied even though
However, retail outlets have not raised prices. They have kept them low, so the low-value uses of things like toilet paper, masks and hand sanitizer has continued. Often, this "use" just takes the form of hoarding. At everyday low prices, it makes sense to buy hundreds of rolls and bottles. You know you will use them eventually, so why not stock up? And, with all those extra supplies in the closet and basement, you don't need to change your behavior much. You don't have to ration your use.
At the low prices, these scarce resources got bought up faster and faster until there was simply none left. The reality of the situation became painfully clear to those who didn't panic and got to the store late: You have no toilet paper and you're not going to any time soon.
However, if prices had been allowed to rise, a number of effects would have taken place that would have coordinated the behavior of everyone so that valuable resources would not have been wasted or hoarded, and everyone could have had access to what they needed.
On the demand side, if prices had been allowed to rise, people would have begun to self-ration. You might leave those extra plies on the roll next time if you know they will cost ten times as much to replace. Or, you might choose to clean up a spill with a rag rather than disposable tissue. Most importantly, you won't hoard as much. That 50th bottle of hand sanitizer might just not be worth it at the new, high price. You'll leave it on the shelf for someone else who may have none.
On the supply side, higher prices would have incentivized people to offer up more of their stockpiles for sale. If you have a pallet full of toilet paper in your basement and all of the sudden they are worth $15 per roll, you might just list a few online. But, if it is illegal to do so, you probably won't.
Imagine you run a business installing insulation and have a few thousand respirator masks on hand for your employees. During a pandemic, it is much more important that people breathe filtered air than that insulation get installed, and that fact is reflected in higher prices. You will sell your extra masks at the higher price rather than store them for future insulation jobs, and the scarce resource will be put to its most important use.
Producers of hand sanitizer would go into overdrive if prices were allowed to rise. They would pay their employees overtime, hire new ones, and pay a premium for their supplies, making sure their raw materials don't go to less important uses.
These kinds of coordinated actions all across the economy would be impossible without real prices to guide them. How do you know if it makes sense to spend an extra $10k bringing a thousand masks to market unless you know you can get more than $10 per mask? If the price is kept artificially low, you simply can't do it. The money just isn't there.
These are the immediate effects of a price change, but incredibly, price changes also coordinate people's actions across space and time.
Across space, there are different supply and demand conditions in different places, and thus prices are not uniform. We know some places are real "hot spots" for the virus, while others are mostly unaffected. High demand in the hot spots leads to higher prices there, which attracts more of the resource to those areas. Boxes and boxes of essential items would pour in where they are needed most from where they are needed least, but only if prices were allowed to adjust freely.
This would be accomplished by individuals and businesses buying low in the unaffected areas, selling high in the hot spots and subtracting their labor and transportation costs from the difference. Producers of new supply would know exactly where it is most needed and ship to the high-demand, high-price areas first. The effect of these actions is to increase prices in the low demand areas and reduce them in the high demand areas. People in the low demand areas will start to self-ration more, reflecting the reality of their neighbors, and people in the hotspots will get some relief.
However, by artificially suppressing prices in the hot spot, people there will simply buy up the available supply and run out, and it will be cost prohibitive to bring in new supply from low-demand areas.
Prices coordinate economic actions across time as well. Just as entrepreneurs and businesses can profit by transporting scarce necessities from low-demand to high-demand areas, they can also profit by buying in low-demand times and storing their merchandise for when it is needed most.
Just as allowing prices to freely adjust in one area relative to another will send all the right signals for the optimal use of a scarce resource, allowing prices to freely adjust over time will do the same.
When an entrepreneur buys up resources during low-demand times in anticipation of a crisis, she restricts supply ahead of the crisis, which leads to a price increase. She effectively bids up the price. The change in price affects consumers and producers in all the ways mentioned above. Consumers self-ration more, and producers bring more of the resource to market.
Our entrepreneur has done a truly incredible thing. She has predicted the future, and by so doing has caused every individual in the economy to prepare for a shortage they don't even know is coming! And, by discouraging consumption and encouraging production ahead of time, she blunts the impact the crisis will have. There will be more of the resource to go around when it is needed most.
On top of this, our entrepreneur still has her stockpile she saved back when everyone else was blithely using it up. She can now further mitigate the damage of the crisis by selling her stock during the worst of it, when people are most desperate for relief. She will know when this is because the price will tell her, but only if it is allowed to adjust freely. When the price is at its highest is when people need the resource the most, and those willing to pay will not waste it or hoard it. They will put it to its highest valued use.
The economy is like a big bus we are all riding in, going down a road with many twists and turns. Just as it is difficult to see into the future, it is difficult to see out the bus windows at the road ahead.
On the dashboard, we don't have a speedometer or fuel gauge. Instead we have all the prices for everything in the economy. Prices are what tell us the condition of the bus and the road. They tell us everything. Without them, we are blind.
Good times are a smooth road. Consumer prices and interest rates are low, investment returns are steady. We hit the gas and go fast. But, the road is not always straight and smooth. Sometimes there are sharp turns and rough patches. Successful entrepreneurs are the ones who can see what is coming better than everyone else. They are our navigators.
When they buy up scarce resources ahead of a crisis, they are hitting the brakes and slowing us down. When they divert resources from one area to another, they are steering us onto a smoother path. By their actions in the market, they adjust the prices on our dashboard to reflect the conditions of the road ahead, so we can prepare for, navigate and get through the inevitable difficulties we will face.
Interfering with the dashboard by imposing price floors or price caps doesn't change the conditions of the road (the number of toilet paper rolls in existence hasn't changed). All it does is distort our perception of those conditions. We think the road is still smooth--our heavy foot stomping the gas--as we crash onto a rocky dirt road at 80 miles per hour (empty shelves at the store for weeks on end).
Supply, demand and prices are laws of nature. All of this is just how things work. It isn't right or wrong in a moral sense. Price caps lead to waste, shortages and hoarding as surely as water flows downhill. The opposite--allowing prices to adjust freely--leads to conservation of scarce resources and their being put to their highest valued use. And yes, it leads to profits for the entrepreneurs who were able to correctly predict future conditions, and losses for those who weren't.
Is it fair that they should collect these profits? On the one hand, anyone could have stocked up on toilet paper, hand sanitizer and face masks at any time before the crisis, so we all had a fair chance to get the supplies cheaply. On the other hand, it just feels wrong that some should profit so much at a time when there is so much need.
Our instinct in the moment is to see the entrepreneur as a villain, greedy "price gouger". But we don't see the long chain of economic consequences the led to the situation we feel is unfair.
If it weren't for anti-price-gouging laws, the major retailers would have raised their prices long before the crisis became acute. When they saw demand outstrip supply, they would have raised prices, not by 100 fold, but gradually and long before anyone knew how serious things would have become. Late comers would have had to pay more, but at least there would be something left on the shelf.
As an entrepreneur, why take risks trying to anticipate the future if you can't reap the reward when you are right? Instead of letting instead of letting entrepreneurs--our navigators--guide us, we are punishing and vilifying them, trying to force prices to reflect a reality that simply doesn't exist.
In a crisis, more than any other time, prices must be allowed to fluctuate. To do otherwise is to blind ourselves at a time when danger and uncertainty abound. It is economic suicide.
In a crisis, there is great need, and the way to meet that need is not by pretending it's not there, by forcing prices to reflect a world where there isn't need. They way to meet the need is the same it has always been, through charity.
If the people in government want to help, the best way for the to do so is to be charitable and reduce their taxes and fees as much as possible, ideally to zero in a time of crisis. Amazon, for example, could instantly reduce the price of all crisis related necessities by 20% if they waived their fee. This would allow for more uses by more people of these scarce supplies as hoarders release their stockpiles on to the market, knowing they can get 20% more for their stock. Governments could reduce or eliminate their tax burden on high-demand, crisis-related items and all the factors that go into their production, with the same effect: a reduction in prices and expansion of supply. All of us, including the successful entrepreneurs and the wealthy for whom high prices are not a great burden, could donate to relief efforts.
These ideas are not new or untested. This is core micro economics. It has been taught for hundreds of years in universities the world over. The fact that every crisis that comes along stirs up ire against entrepreneurs indicates not that the economics is wrong, but that we have a strong visceral reaction against what we perceive to be unfairness. This is as it should be. Unfairness is wrong and the anger it stirs in us should compel us to right the wrong. Our anger itself isn't wrong, it's just misplaced.
Entrepreneurs didn't cause the prices to rise. Our reaction to a virus did that. We saw a serious threat and an uncertain future and followed our natural impulse to hoard. Because prices at major retail suppliers didn't rise, that impulse ran rampant and we cleared the shelves until there was nothing left. We ran the bus right off the road and them blamed the entrepreneurs for showing us the reality of our situation, for shaking us out of the fantasy of low prices.
All of this is not to say that entrepreneurs are high-minded public servants. They are just doing their job. Staking your money on an uncertain future is a risky business. There are big risks and big rewards. Most entrepreneurs just scrape by or lose their capital in failed ventures.
However, the ones that get it right must be allowed to keep their profits, or else no one will try and we'll all be driving blind. We need our navigators. It doesn't even matter if they know all the positive effects they are having on the rest of us and the economy as a whole. So long as they are buying low and selling high--so long as they are doing their job--they will be guiding the rest of us through the good times and the bad, down the open road and through the rough spots.

Introduction:
The future doesn’t look good for America. The economy is down, politics is in shambles, and, perhaps most devastating, the culture is split. The only agreement is that change is needed.
This article aims to pave a road forward. Innovation drives the economy, and great innovations change and improve daily life. Joint efforts between public institutions and private enterprise, along with the energy and momentum generated by efficient and productive programs, can be orchestrated to cultivate national pride. But those programs need to have a noble purpose. Devotion toward technologies with the potential to transform and improve people’s lives should be the goal. Due to recent advancements in biotechnology, efforts should be directed there.
Section 1 dives into the cultural divide. Section 2 outlines a way forward by examining the innovative process and how it can be implemented. Section 3 looks at the specifics of that implementation. Section 4 consists of concluding remarks about the future.
Section 1: A Divided Country
There are two competing visions dividing America. The Woke vision asserts that the United States was, and is, a fundamentally oppressive regime. The idea of a universal reason, the notion that human beings can attain progress in perpetuity through liberal democracy, science, and capitalism, is seen as nothing more than an ideological weapon used to coerce people into acquiescing to a hierarchy that benefits the few while exploiting the many – and so, out of principles of fairness and equity, the country has to be dismantled.
The Trumpian vision attempts to reaffirm American values. It aims to reestablish American exceptionalism and reinvigorate the American vision of prosperity and economic growth. It seeks to rekindle a sense of American greatness. But it does so cheaply. It is, in essence, the dying breath of a consumer culture fighting its own death. Like the first vision, it too rejects reason and discussion and the procedural processes necessary for liberal democracy. It perceives power as the proper political tool for achieving its objectives. It is not an attempt to restore the values that once characterized the country; it breaks from the American tradition in a radical direction toward a politics of entertainment.
Long ago, the country believed that the human capacity for reason – the ability to see the world clearly under the light of truth, unencumbered by bias or prejudice, free from instinct and emotion – was the torch that carries posterity forward. The founders believed the Bill of Rights and The Constitution enshrined eternal truths that reason alone made accessible. John Locke, an influential figure for the founders, stated that the primary purpose of government is to protect individuals' natural rights. We are all free and have the right to live the life we wish to live. But government is needed to ensure others do not interfere with those rights. What binds us is not a religion or creed but the mutual opportunity for each individual to form their own beliefs, to live out their own conceptions of the good. While fundamental, we will see that it is not enough. A collective purpose is necessary.
Now, the Woke vision sees this older view as wholly mythological – and for good reason. For example, there was a time when black people did not know they were descendants from Africa or the Caribbean and not naturally disposed slaves. People’s various histories and genealogies were stripped away, creating a space by which their humanity could be taken and they could be exploited. They were purposefully and intentionally cast into the shadows of history, and the culpable thought themselves perfectly justified. There was a time when moral and historical narratives depicting a grand destiny of white people conquering the West were considered to be true and that the genocide of Native peoples was not only acceptable but in fact necessary, and therefore legitimate. It has been a titanic and creative effort by great individuals and collective coalitions to get America to become self-conscious of its heinous blunders. Some of the best art and ideas of the twentieth century were born out of those efforts. The beginnings of liberation are born out of the ability to imagine a horizon beyond one’s current circumstances. And that ability for many people has been forged by courageous and heroic predecessors. But the spirit of those movements and their development into the Woke vision is a sign that it has lost its creative potential.
The Woke vision asserts that values like reason and rights are the remains of a colonial legacy. However, by negating them and failing to replace them with new values, deconstructive forces are all that remain. The country has historically failed (as well as succeeded) in living up to what reason and rights demand. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t the proper path forward. The assumption here is that they are, and they have to be creatively reinterpreted.
And the Trumpian vision fails as well. But it is worse because it never did, nor will it ever have any real creative potential. It is highly destructive. We can think about this in the following way.
The nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche believed a single, fundamental drive governs all of organic life: the will to power. Life, in a constant struggle, perpetually strives to expand and overcome itself repeatedly. From the brute force of two animals fighting for scarce resources to the highest manifestation of human potential, such as moral systems and inspiring artwork, all are produced from the same vital energy and source: the effort to attain power and mastery over a chaotic world.
As society develops and moves away from a state of nature, the will to power transfigures itself through a sublimative process that demands the individual to repress particular instincts and act according to the strictures and constraints formulated and instituted by the collective. As Freud observed in his Civilization and Its Discontents, the push and pull between primitive and ancient instincts and civilization’s repression of them create inextricable tensions. The Yale historian Marci Shore makes an incisive observation of Trump as a symbolic figure using this context and its language: he is the release and outpouring of those repressed instincts – the license to overthrow the restraints placed on the individual. Trump is the embodiment of brute force, a blind ego striving to assert itself over the world, adopting whatever means are available to achieve its aim. He is an eruption of the repressed Hobbesian state of nature, which expresses “a perpetual and restless desire of power after power that ceaseth only in death.” This is a destructive instinct, and we would be wise not to find out what follows.
Section 2: Unity Through Innovation
So, what is the solution? The country needs a ballast point. It needs national pride. Without a shared sense of identity and purpose, a sense of belonging to a larger community bound by a set of values, the country will continue to unravel. Regardless of the philosophical-level disputes and disagreements on fundamental principles that divide left from right, a collective identity needs to emerge. This article argues that, like the founders, we should turn to our institutions. We should look at how our institutions can facilitate needs by enabling individuals with the creative energy and tenacity to bring about new technologies and innovations that will transform the economy and standards of living. But not just new gadgets and services like iPhones and DoorDash but new technologies with the potential to enable people to live more fulfillingly and purposefully. New vaccines to eliminate unruly diseases, new therapies to mitigate the effects of debilitating illnesses, novel pharmaceuticals with competitive prices and cheaper means of production, and innovative mechanisms to empower people with disabilities to live as they are only able to imagine should play a major part in the mission that characterizes the country. That is a purpose to be proud of. Institutions like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) should act as bows, shooting forward the individuals and companies striving to reach that mark.
There’s a lot of talk about government efficiency and the need to be more fiscally responsible. Those are good things. But efficiency needs to have a purpose. There must be a goal that efficiency works to achieve. We should not wish to live without regulatory institutions. For example, people like Balaji Srinivasan are wrong to think we’re better off in an FDA-free society. The goal should be to harness those institutions, conduct more research and development, and utilize resources more effectively to achieve the results we want as a country. Just as we should strive to continue and expand our role in the AI race, we should also aim to maintain and further develop our leadership in biotech.
But we need a new of what the historian Gary Gerstle calls political order to achieve this. Political orders are “a vision of the good life that sells important constituencies on the virtues of a way of doing politics. The New Deal order and the Neoliberal order—which are, in a sense, the reverse of each other—illustrate this.”
It is common in America to see the world through the lenses of The New Deal and Neoliberal political orders for resolving issues in the country. The latter is to let the market decide, and the former is to create government programs to achieve some conception of the good. The former is, more or less, a libertarian solution and was very popular during the 1980s. The latter took form in what is known as progressivism, and it found popular expression during the 1930s and 1940s in FDR’s New Deal programs. The basic distinction separating these two political orders is between the right and the good.
Rights are the norms of obligations and constraints necessary for us all to coexist while simultaneously maintaining what many believe is the principal value of liberal democracy: freedom and liberty (these terms will be used interchangeably). Rights are not in the business of prescribing definite ways of life or enforcing particular ends for people to pursue. Rights preserve the conditions for freedom, and people are free to choose what to do with that freedom insofar as their decisions do not infringe on another person’s right to do so as well. Freedom, then, is the absence of coercion. By having that freedom, each is allowed to exercise their powers and capabilities according to their own discretion.
In the American context, by virtue of being a human being, we are said to be endowed with inalienable rights. And those rights both protect each individual from external coercion and provide a license for certain kinds of action. I am protected from being forced to say certain opinions and adopt particular beliefs. And I have the license to speak my own opinions, expound my own beliefs, and give voice to my own personal conscience. I am protected from forced association with people whom I do not wish to associate with, from the coercion to vote for a particular candidate, from being disallowed to protest, and from adopting ends I do not agree with or value. And, of course, that means I have a license to associate with whom I wish, vote for whoever I like, protest legislation I dislike, and adopt the ends I truly value. We are all free, and we all are obligated and constrained to preserve the conditions for us all to exercise that freedom mutually.
But if that is what rights are, how does a society ensure a distribution of goods and services for everyone to enjoy and partake in? After all, a right to free speech isn’t going to ensure anyone that they will have meals for nourishment, clothing for warmth, shelter from harsh conditions. The response comes from Adam Smith: economic freedom. Everyone has a natural propensity to “truck, barter, and trade” in order to improve their condition. And by the very nature of voluntary exchange, each party benefits. By an individual living his life according to his own interests, values, and ends, he “promote(s) an end which has no part of his own intention.” The invisible hand of the market promotes the ends held by other individuals, allowing everyone to live as they see fit and to coexist harmoniously with the community. By having the political freedom of rights and the economic freedom to exchange, people cooperate spontaneously and organically. That is the spirit of the neoliberal political order.
A conception of the good is different, and its meaning can be disclosed through the great liberal philosopher Voltaire’s likely apocryphal statement, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” What Voltaire disagrees with is not someone’s right to speak but of what they are saying, and we can imagine the person to be voicing their conception of the good, their values and ends that they believe characterize the good life, the life we ought to live, and Voltaire disapproves of it. The good is concerned with the proper ends that should be prioritized in order to flourish. Socrates famously declared the unexamined life is not worth living. Well, he’s espousing a conception of the good. It is a life of the intellect, a life of rational reflection and deliberation aimed toward self-knowledge. Are one’s beliefs consistent? Does one’s actions contradict what one truly believes? Is one aware of what one truly believes? And does one have the desire to discover the truth? These are Socratic questions, and a life devoted to answering them is a Socratic one.
Now, if there is a universal conception of the good life, if human beings have particular ends that define what it means to be a human being, and if failing to fulfill those ends implies a failure to realize one’s human potential for flourishing, then rights do not secure such outcomes. Rights only ensure individuals are free to pursue such ends if they wish. And given the contingency of life, that is to say that, because people are born into conditions they did not choose but were instead thrown into them, and because some individuals are born into wealth and advantage and some are born into poverty and disadvantage, some have the privilege to achieve the ends characterizing a good life and some do not. And that is unfair. And so, government programs, central planning, and economic stewardship can be used to enable and empower the underprivileged to achieve what others are better positioned to do. This is the spirit of the New Deal political order.
The mistake is to think the appropriate social, cultural, and political issues can be resolved by only one of these political orders. It is not one or the other. Both of these political orders capture powerful intuitions about how society should best function and operate, and there should be a synthesis between them.
Now, it is common knowledge that innovation drives economic growth. As capital becomes more efficient and fewer inputs are required to produce more outputs, the economy expands. In Matt Ridely’s book, Innovation: How It Works, he demonstrates beautifully the often messy and non-rational character of the innovative process.
At the heart of that process, he says, is serendipity. As frustrating as it is to human nature, the innovative process cannot be intelligently designed into a precise instrument capable of reproducing all the wonderful fruits that result from it. There is something inherently unpredictable about it, something unruly. It is organic and spontaneous. It demands the determination of individuals willing to fail over and over again until enough experience, insight, and gradual, often painstaking, progress results in the desired effects.
Ridley observes that so many of these innovations require the rich air of freedom to stimulate the instinct for exploration and discovery. Freedom nourishes and sustains that instinct, allowing it to grow and flourish. People must be free from unnecessary regulations and constraints to focus their creative energy on projects that demand endless hours of trying countless imaginative possibilities – and failing until something works. There’s always a tremendous amount of risk-taking. People need to be free to take them.
People also need to be free to collaborate with others who are also devoted to discovering a solution to seemingly intractable problems. The division of labor, where individuals specialize in a particular task and coordinate with others who do the same to maximize efficiency and productivity, is essential to the process. There’s a reason, as Ridley notes, that many innovations take place in cities, where individuals freely associate and influence one another.
Freedom also allows room for mistakes. Ridley documents many cases where innovation is the result of a mistake, not an intentional plan of action. Innovations can often begin with an intention that has nothing to do with the innovation itself. A deliberate decision leading to a breakthrough discovery can be entirely unrelated, even frivolous. Take the example of Louie Pasteur, one of the key discoverers of germ theory. He was inoculating chickens with cholera from an infected chicken broth when he left for vacation, leaving his assistant, Charles Chamberland, to continue the experiments. Charles, for whatever reason (perhaps he thought the whole idea was crazy), forgot about his responsibility and went on vacation. When both returned, they injected a chicken with the stale broth.
It made the chicken sick but did not kill it. And so he injected the same chicken with a much more virulent cholera strain that typically and easily killed chickens – and it failed. The chicken lived. Vaccines, an innovation on inoculation, emerged. Funny enough, a similar incident occurred with Alexander Fleming. Known for being sloppy, Fleming carelessly left out a culture plate of staphylococcus and took off for vacation for a couple of weeks. When he returned, he discovered a mold had grown that was resistant to the bacteria.
Penicillin was soon developed. All this is to say that, along with Ridley, “Innovation is the child of freedom and the parent of prosperity.”
But government has also been integral to many inventions and innovations that would later revolutionize the economy and, therefore, daily life itself. Mariana Mazzucato’s book The Entrepreneurial State makes a persuasive case for the significance of public institutions in the innovative process. When the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), initially known as ARPA until 1972, was established in 1958 in response to the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957, it aimed to promote ‘blue-sky thinking’ for technological initiatives. Meaning that the goal was to invest in riskier research that potentially would yield long-term gains despite not having any immediate or obvious returns on investment. DARPA pursued “ideas that went beyond the horizon in that they may not produce results for ten or 20 years.”
What makes DARPA a successful agency is its decentralized model. The philosophy is: "Find brilliant people. Give them resources. Get out of their way." DARPA hires talented and competent experts to run programs autonomously, providing them the discretion to pursue projects highlighted by their expertise, which are often considered risky. This model enables experts to connect with other researchers, facilitating collaboration and the creation of highly efficient and productive divisions of labor. And again, these are projects that likely wouldn’t find market interest because of their niche or unexplored nature. There isn’t an immediate and conspicuous payoff. And so the connected but separate-from-government model of DARPA provides scientists with a wide degree of latitude, and that freedom allows them to engage in the innovative process of trial and error and risk-taking.
Technologies developed by DARPA included ARPANET, the precursor to the internet; early GPS technology; the beginnings of autonomous vehicles; speech recognition; personal computing; and early AI.
Other agencies have also been foundational in technological advancements (for example, the National Science Foundation (NSF) provided critical grants to facilitate what would become Google’s search engine algorithm). But the DARPA model is what is most interesting here.
If government programs like DARPA can be leveraged to spur more innovation, particularly in areas such as biotech, and these innovations can drive economic growth by being put into the hands of entrepreneurs, investors, and small, medium, and large firms, then this demands national effort and attention. If successful, it is a project worthy of national pride.
So, government programs and spending, if properly structured, can yield high returns on investment if people are given the freedom to explore, try things out, and make the mistakes necessary for the innovative process to be carried through. And we can look to a recent example where the absence of the efforts potentially could have been disastrous. The story of the COVID-19 vaccines is one where the lack of zeal for exploration and breakthrough discoveries could have hindered the development of mRNA research, leaving it underdeveloped when it was needed at a critical moment.
Section 3: Covid-19, The Imperative For Research and Development, and The Institutional Framework
To start, Peter Theil is popular for remarking that innovation in many industries has grown stagnant. Energy, manufacturing, and transportation, for example, haven’t seen much progress in the past half-century.
Computation, on the other hand, has surpassed the imagination. The innovations have not been in atoms but in bits. As Theil puts it, “We wanted flying cars; instead we got 140 characters.” And Ridley writes, “If cars had improved as fast as computers since 1982, they would get nearly four million miles per gallon, so they could go to the moon and back a hundred times on a single tank of fuel.” Unfortunately, we still have to visit the gas station and pay those exorbitant prices.
But biotech has gained momentum in the past decade. The COVID vaccines are an extraordinary example of this. But they wouldn’t have been ready to come to market without the previous three decades of research and development invested in them. And that research and development almost didn’t happen because people lacked the vision and the willingness to embrace the risk that great technological discoveries, inventions, and innovations always require.
Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson’s book Abundance tells this story very well. Katalin Kariko, one of the discoverers of mRNA’s therapeutic capabilities, had enormous difficulty securing funding for her research as an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Those with power thought it too risky, that it didn’t show enough promise, and allocated most resources to DNA research at the time, believing it to be the more auspicious investment. Nevertheless, as so many pioneering figures have done before her, Kariko maintained her vision of unlocking mRNA’s potential for saving lives.
By sheer luck, by the fortune contained in everyday decisions that would lead to saving millions of lives several decades later, Kariko met a colleague who was researching HIV vaccines at the time, Drew Weissman, at a Xerox machine in 1997. He would be pivotal in her research. She is a biochemist, and he, an immunologist. Each provided the knowledge and expertise the other was lacking, and that was essential to their respective goals. Through the serendipity of deciding to walk to a different department to make copies at the time and place she did, Kariko encountered an opportunity to make strides in her research.
Together, however, the two still managed to collect barely enough funding. “The NIH,” which is the largest public funder of biomedical research, “rejected practically all of their grant applications.” They couldn’t get others to have the same foresight. Even after a breakthrough, where they were finally able to send mRNA information into cells without causing horrible inflammation, those in power still blinked. Fortunately, private investment supplied the gust they needed to keep their research going, and two companies created to pursue mRNA research, Moderna and BioNTech, facilitated the vaccine’s development. When Covid spread, enough progress had been made. The FDA, which has set a poor precedent for getting products to market when it matters most, streamlined the approval process and made the vaccine available.
The key features of this story are the following. The first is the lack of risk-taking by institutions and agencies whose aim should be to provide resources to those striving to innovate and push technological progress forward. The second is the lack of coordination to establish intentional environments to converge the paths of those who have the determination, discipline, and vision to bring innovation to fruition. Imagine if Kariko and Weismann didn’t meet; picture Kariko choosing to make copies somewhere else or at a different time. The future may have been radically different. And thirdly, and more optimistically, the FDA served a vital role when it mattered. As a public institution responsible for promoting the public good, they served admirably.
These three parts – funding research, coordinating talent, and the institutions facilitating the results – should coalesce into an optimally functioning whole. Researchers who are trying to shape and influence an unforeseeable future should be encouraged and rewarded. Those who possess powerful and novel ideas, along with the imagination and determination to bring them to life, should be in direct contact with one another. Their paths should cross – intentionally. And lastly, institutions should follow the FDA’s example. Slow regulatory regimes, lengthy processes and paperwork, licensing barriers, and stifling restrictions should be streamlined and transformed into facilitators for technological development and the introduction of powerful and revolutionary technologies into the market.
More funding should be devoted to riskier research. Those with novel and fresh ideas with the potential to disrupt current scientific knowledge and produce a breakthrough should be sought out. It is estimated that roughly 2-5% of the NIH’s current budget of $45 billion is allocated to high-risk research. That should be increased. Programs like the High-Risk, High-Reward Research Program, which includes awards to innovative researchers and ideas, should take on a more robust role and budget than it currently does.
Furthermore, approximately 80% of the NIH budget is allocated to extramural research programs, which are external programs conducted outside of the institution itself. A larger portion of those who receive that funding should be based on their potential for innovation. Currently, as Klein and Thompson observe, the process of obtaining a research grant, which involves extensive paperwork and minutiae, is bureaucratic, cumbersome, inefficient, and time-consuming. A significant amount of energy that should be allocated toward advancing research is spent on securing the funding to do it.
Submitting an application, going through the two review processes, and being approved takes typically nine months to a year. And most fail, leading many scientists to have to apply numerous times in a year. And those doing the review process aren’t necessarily looking for cutting-edge proposals; they’re looking for what fits bureaucratic standards. Of course, this is contentious, but Kariko's story demonstrates its reality. Ridley offers another example. When Francisco Majica made critical advancements in CRISPR technology, it took him “more than a year to get his results published, so sniffy were the prestigious journals at the idea of a significant discovery coming from a scientific nobody.” Institutions must do a better job of trying and supporting novel and unexplored ideas, regardless of who or what they originate from. For example, biotech DAOs do not currently receive funding from government institutions, such as the NIH, due to the traditional legal framework used to distribute resources. Regulatory and legal changes should be implemented to maximize their potential. If there is too much emphasis on process, on bureaucratic procedures and standards, fruitful and rich opportunities suffocate.
The NIH budget also allocates funds to intramural research programs, which are internally connected to the NIH itself. These research programs account for roughly 10% of the NIH’s total budget. A highly promising model to adopt is the DARPA model articulated in Section 2. The NIH should adopt something similar. It should allocate resources to decentralized programs to bring together the best scientists to generate breakthrough ideas. Those programs should be spaces where scientists are free to pursue visionary projects.
Smaller biotech firms, startups, and those without robust forms of funding are often forced to pursue ideas that will capture immediate investment attention. And because of the burdensome and costly bureaucratic processes, investors are justly skeptical about anything risky and cutting-edge.
For example, regarding the FDA approval process, small molecule drugs like pharmaceuticals generally take ten to fifteen years to reach the market. On average, one drug costs $1-2 billion to move through the process, and less than ten percent of those who enter clinical trials succeed. Biologics, such as vaccines and gene therapies, typically take ten to twelve years to reach the market and have a slightly higher success rate than small molecule drugs, ranging from 12 to 15 percent. Those are extensive periods of time, the costs are astronomical, and few can maintain the resources to climb the mountain. This discourages bold enterprise – and it leads to higher prices as well. Due to the cumbersome approval process, the FDA offers exclusivity to companies that bring a product to market, both to reward innovation and to allow companies the opportunity to recoup the tremendous losses incurred by the approval process. This can lead to monopolistic pricing. Innovation should not be rewarded by harming the consumer. Innovation should lift the tide that raises all boats. And so the innovative process shouldn’t be exclusive to those with enough capital to take risks. It should be available to anyone with the tenacity to actualize a bold and promising idea. That’s not to say the process should be less rigorous and methodical. It’s that it needs to be more efficient. But not just efficiency for efficiency's sake; it needs to be efficient toward the right ends and outcomes, and innovation should be a leading goal.
Therefore, a primary goal of the FDA should be to stimulate market interest by expediting the most innovative technologies emerging from research programs driven by the NIH and its innovation initiatives. It’s very important that private research continues innovating as well, and increases in private investment toward manufacturing and research – like Johnson & Johnson’s recent announcement – is good. But new technologies, drugs, vaccines, and therapies should be a central mission of the institutional framework advocated for here – and the process should begin with creativity for creativity’s sake. The profit motive should be employed after realizing a passionate and creative vision. Those truly motivated by inspiration, the people who have the will to manifest something novel and unimaginable, are generally the worst at navigating the business aspect - not always, but often. And the energy pushing them forward is a precious and scarce resource. And so institutions like the FDA and NIH should foster, rather than stifle, their capabilities and opportunities for creating meaningful contributions to the country and the world. The FDA has a history of being slow and untimely when it comes to processing and approving applications for moving to clinical trials. For example, the AIDS epidemic is a stain on the institution’s reputation. When AIDS spread across the US in 1980, it took scientists three years to identify HIV as the cause, five years for the FDA to approve the first blood test to screen for the virus, and seven years to finally get a drug to market. The response to COVID-19 should be the golden standard by which the FDA operates.
Section 4: Human Being and Its Essence
Now, let’s ask the following: what does this have to do with national pride? How does this provide a new vision for the country?
In Alex Karp’s new book, The Technological Republic, he criticizes Silicon Valley for forgetting its roots in developing technology for national purposes. The foundational technology that defines Silicon Valley originated from government programs like DARPA and NASA, which had a clear purpose. They had a mission, and the achievements under those programs demonstrate that.
But now Silicon Valley has shifted to the consumer. Innovations in Silicon Valley generally make life more convenient, comfortable, pleasant, breezy. Goods and services satisfy all our wants and preferences. New apps, better features on social media, increasingly competent virtual assistants, faster food delivery services, endless streams of television and movies and videos, smart appliances, and more and more advanced phones pervade everyday life. The goal is always immediate gratification. There is no horizon that these products look up to. Everything is here and now.
This takes us back to our discussion of rights and conceptions of the good. Silicon Valley isn’t tethered to any real purpose or collective aim. Its goal is to let the market decide. There is no moral or spiritual integrity, no conception of the good that permeates Silicon Valley and its products. Nothing is off limits because it is the consumer’s right to choose. If there is a want, if enough people are willing to buy, Silicon Valley will produce it. No substantive conviction guides their innovations. What does Silicon Valley stand for? It certainly has a creative spirit – just look at all the devices we have today – but that spirit lacks a purpose, and so it wanders aimlessly chasing the fleeting nature of the consumer.
It’s perfectly understandable that Silicon Valley has severed itself from its military roots. Not only would it lose a substantial portion of revenue if it returned to those roots, but there is, of course, a moral dilemma at the heart of most military endeavors, and it is wise to take that seriously. And the Tech sector should not aim to impose a conception of the good on the consumers. The issue is its obsession with the consumer. There are more pressing areas of concern that warrant attention. The wealth of talent in Silicon Valley is better spent in those areas. And it should be done through the efficient use of public institutions.
The new vision is one where taxpayer dollars are used for purposeful and meaningful projects that generate new technologies and innovations that contribute to people’s real needs, not just their wants and preferences. Genuine pride involves courage and bold risk for the sake of principle. It consists in having the determination to carry through an arduous enterprise. And we should be proud as a country if a joint effort between the public and private sectors achieves collective ends.
And at the heart of this pride should be the creative process. Albert Einstein wrote that great scientific discoveries – the new ideas that are leaps in progress toward the expansion of human knowledge – are, again, not the inevitable product of a rigid, refined, and precisely applied method. He believed the great discoveries, the ones that establish new scientific paradigms that enrich society with so many practical fruit, result from a cosmic feeling, a kind of religious experience born out of feelings of awe, wonder, and mystery that are produced by the intellectual and spiritual effort to understand the rational order of the cosmos. He writes, “Enough for me (is) the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvelous structure of reality, together with the single-hearted endeavor to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the reason that manifest itself in nature… I maintain that cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest incitement to scientific research.”
Reaching for and clinching a new and profound idea is not a mechanical and algorithmic activity. Regardless of how finely one specifies the rules of procedure or how regimented the institutional standards for scientific knowledge are prescribed, intuition, sensitivity to the world and its objects, amazement at the experience of observing the world and its causal relations, in short, the feelings and moods of the subject investigating the object, are integral to the discovery of scientific ideas. Methods are pivotal in locating and developing the precise, logical nature of those ideas, but initial contact with them demands variables that are not reducible to fixed procedures. Ideas powerful enough to change the world and better the human condition originate in cosmic feelings of wonder and curiosity and are not strictly an output of a mechanized division of labor.
AI will outrun the human capacity for intelligence. This is a likely prediction. And so what will it mean to be a human being then? For centuries, philosophers have distinguished human beings from other parts of nature by invoking our seemingly unique capacity for reason. We have the ability to contemplate, reflect, and grasp the physical laws governing the cosmos. We can harness those laws and employ them to manipulate our environment, alter its forms, and recombine its parts, allowing us to raise our living standards beyond our ancestor’s imaginations. We are highly intelligent beings, and our intelligence has been regarded as our distinguishing mark.
AI erodes this image. This new technology is becoming, and perhaps already is, a concrete realization, an externalization of what history thought was uniquely our own. The reality that reason isn’t special, that it is nothing more than a physical product of an accidental evolution, a wisp of luck, has become more and more firmly impressed upon the mind over the last two centuries. AI will make it indelible; it is the final proof. And so what is a human being? What distinguishes us?
The answer is in our spontaneous acts of creativity, in our ability to produce beauty in art, complexity in design, and in our profound capability to experience wonder. Again, the innovative process discussed above cannot be rationally formed into a precise instrument. As frustrating as it is, as much as it bumps against our instinct to make everything intelligible and known, our ability for spontaneity and creativity, our capacity to fail over and over again until we receive those moments of imaginative brilliance, cannot be reduced into a definite set of rules and procedures.
And so as the world changes, as everything alters before our eyes, we have to value what makes us distinctly human. We need a new Enlightenment, one that celebrates our creativity and our will to manifest what we can internally envision. Our self-respect as individuals and collectives lies in our instincts for curiosity, inquiry, discovery, and the creative and imaginative processes that animate them.

2025-05-01 01:51:10Please respect Virginia Giuffre’s memory by refraining from asking about the circumstances or theories surrounding her passing.
Since Virginia Giuffre’s death, I’ve reflected on what she would want me to say or do. This piece is my attempt to honor her legacy.
When I first spoke with Virginia, I was struck by her unshakable hope. I had grown cynical after years in the anti-human trafficking movement, worn down by a broken system and a government that often seemed complicit. But Virginia’s passion, creativity, and belief that survivors could be heard reignited something in me. She reminded me of my younger, more hopeful self. Instead of warning her about the challenges ahead, I let her dream big, unburdened by my own disillusionment. That conversation changed me for the better, and following her lead led to meaningful progress.
Virginia was one of the bravest people I’ve ever known. As a survivor of Epstein, Maxwell, and their co-conspirators, she risked everything to speak out, taking on some of the world’s most powerful figures.
She loved when I said, “Epstein isn’t the only Epstein.” This wasn’t just about one man—it was a call to hold all abusers accountable and to ensure survivors find hope and healing.
The Epstein case often gets reduced to sensational details about the elite, but that misses the bigger picture. Yes, we should be holding all of the co-conspirators accountable, we must listen to the survivors’ stories. Their experiences reveal how predators exploit vulnerabilities, offering lessons to prevent future victims.
You’re not powerless in this fight. Educate yourself about trafficking and abuse—online and offline—and take steps to protect those around you. Supporting survivors starts with small, meaningful actions. Free online resources can guide you in being a safe, supportive presence.
When high-profile accusations arise, resist snap judgments. Instead of dismissing survivors as “crazy,” pause to consider the trauma they may be navigating. Speaking out or coping with abuse is never easy. You don’t have to believe every claim, but you can refrain from attacking accusers online.
Society also fails at providing aftercare for survivors. The government, often part of the problem, won’t solve this. It’s up to us. Prevention is critical, but when abuse occurs, step up for your loved ones and community. Protect the vulnerable. it’s a challenging but a rewarding journey.
If you’re contributing to Nostr, you’re helping build a censorship resistant platform where survivors can share their stories freely, no matter how powerful their abusers are. Their voices can endure here, offering strength and hope to others. This gives me great hope for the future.
Virginia Giuffre’s courage was a gift to the world. It was an honor to know and serve her. She will be deeply missed. My hope is that her story inspires others to take on the powerful.

แต่คำถามคือ… ยีสต์ GMO + กระบวนการหมัก = sustainable จริงหรือเปล่า?
ถึงจะเป็นโปรตีนสังเคราะห์ ที่คนแพ้ไข่ก็ยังแพ้อยู่ดี แม้จะไม่มีสัตว์เกี่ยวข้องเลย แต่ EVERY Egg White ก็ยังคงต้องติดป้าย “Contains Egg” ตามกฎหมาย เพราะโครงสร้างโปรตีนที่ผลิตออกมา "เหมือน" โปรตีนไข่จริงมากจนสามารถกระตุ้นอาการแพ้ในคนที่แพ้ไข่ได้อยู่ดี แปลว่า... เราไม่ได้หลุดพ้นจากปัญหาแพ้อาหารเลย แค่เปลี่ยนแหล่งกำเนิดจากไก่มาเป็นเชื้อรา แต่สิ่งที่น่าคิดคือ นี่แสดงว่าองค์ประกอบของมันเหมือนชนิดที่ว่า สำเนาถูกต้องขนาดคนแพ้ไข่ยังแพ้อยู่ คุณคิดว่าในมุมนี้น่าคิดกว่าไหม???
Back ดีมีกองทัพอุ้ม เงินภาษีหนุน ที่น่าจับตาคือ EVERY ได้รับเงินสนับสนุนกว่า 2 ล้านดอลลาร์จากกระทรวงกลาโหมสหรัฐฯ (DoD) เพื่อศึกษาความเป็นไปได้ในการผลิตโปรตีนในประเทศ ตัวเลขนี้ไม่ใช่เล่น ๆ แปลว่า ภาครัฐกำลังพิจารณาให้ "ไข่จากเชื้อรา" เป็นอาหารแห่งอนาคตของกองทัพ ซึ่งหมายถึงเม็ดเงินระดับพันล้านเหรียญหากแผนนี้เดินหน้า และเมื่อรัฐหนุนขนาดนี้ เทคโนโลยีที่ยังแพงก็จะ “ไม่แพง” อีกต่อไป เพราะเงินภาษีช่วยลดต้นทุนแบบกลาย ๆ เหมือนที่เคยเกิดกับ Beyond Meat หรือ Impossible Foods
เท่านั้นไม่พอครับ ไข่ขาวของท่าน ได้รับการคัดเลือกที่จะจับมือกับ The Vegetarian Butcher บริษัทลูกของ Unilever บริษัทอาหารที่ครองตลาดโลกราวกับเป็นเจ้าของตู้เย็นของประชากรโลก Unilever จะใช้โปรตีนไข่จาก EVERY ใส่ในผลิตภัณฑ์ plant-based meat ที่กำลังไต่ตลาดโลก โดยไม่จำเป็นต้องแจ้งผู้บริโภคว่าโปรตีนนี้มาจากเชื้อรา GMO หรือกระบวนการ biotech ที่ไม่ธรรมดา แม้จะถูกจัดว่าเป็น "non-animal ingredient" หรือ "ไม่ได้มาจากสัตว์โดยตรง" แต่ก็มีสิทธิ์เข้าสู่เมนูมังสวิรัติ วีแกน และอาหารเด็กได้อย่างง่ายดาย เพราะภาพจำที่สื่อมวลชนร่วมกันสร้างขึ้น เพราะไม่มีภาพของ “สัตว์” อยู่ในกระบวนการเลย จึงกลายเป็น “วีแกนได้” ในสายตาคนทั่วไป ทั้งที่ความจริงมันคือเทคโนโลยีชีวภาพระดับลึก ด้วยการใช้คำอย่าง “cruelty-free”, “animal-free”, “sustainable protein”, รวมถึงหน้าตาผลิตภัณฑ์ที่ดูใสสะอาด ไร้กลิ่นอายห้องแล็บ
แม้จะยังไม่มีหลักฐานตรงๆ ว่า EVERY เข้าล็อบบี้รัฐบาลเหมือน Oatly แต่เส้นทางที่เห็นชัดคือความร่วมมือกับองค์กรระดับนโยบาย เช่น Good Food Institute (GFI) และกลุ่มผลักดัน food-tech เพื่อก่อรูปแนวคิดว่า “อาหารที่ไม่ได้มาจากธรรมชาติ” = “อนาคต” และเมื่อแบรนด์เหล่านี้จับมือกับยักษ์ใหญ่ กลายเป็นอาหารในโรงเรียน ทหาร โรงพยาบาล หรือ planet of the future คนทั่วไปก็ไม่มีสิทธิ์เลือกอีกต่อไป เพราะทุกที่ถูกจัดสรรโดยนโยบายที่ใครบางคนได้ตัดสินไปแล้ว
EVERY Company ไม่ได้ขายแค่ไข่สังเคราะห์ แต่ขาย “อนาคตของอาหาร” แบบที่มนุษย์ถูกแยกออกจากธรรมชาติ แล้วพึ่งพาเทคโนโลยีและเงินทุนแทน และในโลกที่รัฐกับบริษัทยักษ์กำลังร่วมมือกันสร้างนิยามใหม่ของคำว่า “โปรตีนดีต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม” เราในฐานะผู้บริโภคควรถามกลับว่า…
ดีต่อใคร? ธรรมชาติ หรือห้องแล็บ? สุขภาพของมนุษย์ หรือผลกำไรของเจ้าของแพลตฟอร์มอาหาร?
***สรุป timeline เบาๆ 2014 – Clara Foods ก่อตั้งในซานฟรานซิสโก โดยมีเป้าหมายผลิต “ไข่โดยไม่ต้องใช้ไก่” ผ่านกระบวนการ fermentation 2015-2019 – รับทุนหลายรอบ รวมถึงจาก Horizons Ventures (ที่ลงทุนใน Impossible Foods), IndieBio, Blue Horizon ฯลฯ 2021 – เปลี่ยนชื่อจาก Clara Foods เป็น The EVERY Company เพื่อสะท้อนเป้าหมายที่กว้างขึ้น: การสร้างโปรตีน “EVERYthing” จากจุลชีพ

2025-04-30 09:19:41What is a natural material? It's a topic of debate, and everyone will prioritize their own criteria. Here’s how materials are classified on this site. The list is regularly updated based on the products added. Feel free to share your thoughts!
✅ Natural Materials
Materials of plant, animal, or mineral origin, without chemical transformation that alters their molecular structure.
🌱 Main Criteria: - Biodegradability - Non-toxicity - Naturally occurring and recquiring minimal transformation
🔍 List of Natural Materials: - Regenerated Cellulose (cupra, lyocell, modal, rayon) - Cork - Cotton - Earth - Glass - Hemp - Natural Latex, rubber - Leather - Linen - Metal - Silk - Wood - Wool - … (Other materials)
⚠️ Although "natural", these materials can have negative impacts depending on their production conditions (pesticide pollution, excessive water consumption, chemical treatments, animal exploitation, etc.). These impacts are mentionned in the description of each material.
Organic versions of these materials — free from chemical treatments, animal mistreatment, etc. — are preferred for listing products on this site, as indicated on each material's page (coming soon).
Conventional versions are only referenced when no more sustainable alternative has yet been found for that product category.
🚫 Non-Natural Materials
Synthetic or heavily modified materials, often derived from petrochemicals.
📌 Main Issues: - Toxicity and microplastic emissions - Dependence on fossil fuels - Poor biodegradability
🔍 List of Non-Natural Materials: - Acrylic - Elastane, spandex, lycra - Polyamides, nylon - Polyester - Silicone - … (Other materials)
⚠️ These materials are not accepted on this site. However, they may be present in certain listed products if:
- they are used in removable accessories (e.g., elastics, buttons—often not listed in the product’s composition by the brand) that can be detached for recycling or composting, and
- no 100% natural alternative has yet been identified for that product category.
In such cases, a warning will be displayed on the product page.

2025-04-30 08:32:38Finding 100% natural, plastic-free products turned out to be much harder than I expected… So I started collecting bookmarks. And then I thought: "What if we shared?!
Help me discover the best natural alternatives for clothing and gear without plastic!
This project is all about sharing: half of the site's potential revenue is redistributed to contributors. A small experiment in revenue and value sharing on the internet. :-)
Q&A
Why focus on natural materials?
Synthetic materials are mostly plastics (polyester, polyamide…). The problem? They end up contaminating us:
- Microplastics absorbed through the skin,
- Particles released with every wash, making their way into the water we drink and the food we eat,
- Major challenges in recycling plastic waste.
What exactly are natural materials?
They are non-synthetic materials, whose components exist in nature without molecular modification. But what really matters here is their biodegradability and non-toxicity.
Some materials may spark debates about their acceptability on this site!
How is this different from other ethical fashion or shopping websites?
Many websites offer ethical and sustainable products, but I often found they still included synthetic materials. I had to check every product individually. Some promote recycled plastic fibers as an eco-friendly choice, but I’d rather not put plastic on my skin or my children's.
How can I contribute?

2025-04-30 07:25:41We’re incredibly proud to announce that NVSTly has won the Gold Stevie® Award for Tech Startup of the Year – Services in the 23rd Annual American Business Awards®! Winners were officially revealed on April 24th, and this recognition is a powerful validation of the innovation, impact, and passion our team continues to deliver every day.
More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.
We were honored among a competitive field of over 3,600 nominations from organizations across nearly every industry. NVSTly was recognized for redefining social investing with a first-of-its-kind platform that empowers traders to track, share, and automatically broadcast trades and buy/sell alerts across nearly every financial market—including stocks, options, forex, and crypto—with futures support coming soon.
The Stevie judges praised NVSTly for “creating an ecosystem that blends brokerage integration, real-time trade tracking, and community engagement into one seamless experience,” and noted that “NVSTly’s social investing model is paving the way for a new generation of retail traders.”
This award comes at a time of major momentum for us:
:star: 4.9-star rating on the iOS App Store :star: 5.0-star rating on Google Play :star: 4.9-star rating on Product Hunt :star: 5.0-star rating on Disboard for our 51,000+ strong Discord trading community :star: 4.98-star rating on Top.gg — making our trading bot the highest-rated and only one of its kind in the finance category
And it’s not our first recognition. NVSTly has previously earned:
:trophy: Fintech Product of the Week on Product Hunt (2023 & 2024) :trophy: People’s Choice Award at the 2024 Benzinga Fintech Awards
We’re still just getting started. Our mobile and web platform is used by over 10,000 traders, and our brokerage integrations now include Webull, with Moomoo support launching in the coming days and Schwab integration already underway. These integrations allow traders to automate buy/sell alerts directly to their NVSTly followers and across Discord and supported social platforms.
“Winning a Gold Stevie is an incredible milestone that reflects the hard work of our team and the unwavering support of our community,” said Rich Watson, CEO of NVSTly. “We’ve always believed that trading should be transparent, collaborative, and empowering—and this recognition confirms we’re building something truly impactful.”
More than 3,600 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Thought Leader of the Year, and App of the Year, among others. NVSTly was nominated in the Tech Startup of the Year – Services category for financial technology startups.
We’ll be officially celebrated at the 2025 Stevie Awards gala in New York City on June 10, but today, we’re celebrating with the traders, creators, investors, and builders who have believed in our mission from day one. (It's still undecided if anyone representing NVSTly will attend the award event to be presented or award.)
Thank you for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started.

2025-04-30 02:51:3350by40 คืออีกโครงการนึงที่ขยายภาพรวมขึ้นมาอีก recap กันครับ (ใครที่มาเจอกลางทาง อาจต้องย้อนเยอะครับ ย้อนไปสัก ปลายเดือน มีนาคม 2025) หลังจากที่เราได้ดูส่วนเล็กกันมาหลายตอน ตั้งแต่เรื่องเล็กๆอย่าง น้ำมันมะกอกปลอม ซึ่งตอนนั้นหลายคนที่อ่านอาจคิดว่า ไกลตัวส่วนใหญ่ยังดีพอ แต่ความนัยที่ซ่อนไว้ในบทนั้นคือ จุดเริ่มของการทำลายความเชื่อใจในอาหาร , ที่มาของบรอกโคลีเพื่อให้รู้ว่า สิ่งที่คิดว่าธรรมชาติ มันไม่ธรรมชาติ, นมโอ้ต นมประดิษฐ์ที่เป็นจุดที่เราคิดว่ามันคือการพลิกวงการแล้ว, การแอบจดสิทธิบัตรเมล็ดพันธุ์ที่เคยปลูกกินอย่างอิสระ, การพัฒนา GMO 2.0 ที่ไม่ต้องเรียกว่า GMO, โปรตีนจากแลป มาจนถึงเวย์ที่ไม่มีวัว แล้วเราก็ขยายภาพขึ้นกับข้อกำหนดการควบคุมการปลูกพืช UPOV1991/CPTPP, การเข้าสู่โรงเรียน, การกำเนิดของ ProVeg แล้วเราก็ได้รู้จักกับ Sebastian Joy ก็ถือว่าเดินทางมา 1 ด่านแล้วครับ หนทางเรื่องนี้ยังอีกยาวไกล วันนี้เราก็มาคุยกันถึงเรื่อง
โครงการ 50by40
โครงการนี้เริ่มต้นขึ้นในเดือนเมษายน ปี 2018 โดยมีการจัดการประชุม "50by40 Corporate Outreach Summit" ระหว่างวันที่ 27–29 เมษายน 2018 ที่กรุงเบอร์ลิน ประเทศเยอรมนี ซึ่งจัดโดย ProVeg International ร่วมกับ Humane Society of the United States การประชุมนี้ถือเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของพันธมิตรระดับโลกที่มีเป้าหมายร่วมกันในการลดการผลิตและบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์ลง 50% ภายในปี 2040
Sebastian Joy ผู้ก่อตั้งและประธานของ ProVeg International มีบทบาทสำคัญในการริเริ่มโครงการ 50by40 โดยเขาได้ช่วยก่อตั้งพันธมิตรนี้เพื่อส่งเสริมการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโลก นอกจากนี้ ProVeg International ยังมีบทบาทในการสนับสนุนองค์กรและสตาร์ทอัพที่มุ่งเน้นการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารผ่านโปรแกรมต่างๆ
แม้ว่าโครงการ 50by40 จะประกาศเป้าหมายในการลดการบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์เพื่อสุขภาพและสิ่งแวดล้อม แต่เบื้องหลังยังมีการดำเนินงานที่มุ่งเน้นการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโลก โดยการส่งเสริม "อาหารที่เพาะเลี้ยงในห้องปฏิบัติการเป็นหลัก"
โครงการนี้ยังมีการจัดกิจกรรมเพื่อดึงดูดนักลงทุนและผู้สนับสนุนทางการเงิน เช่น การจัดงาน Food Funders Circle ซึ่งเป็นเวทีสำหรับนักลงทุนที่สนใจในอาหารทางเลือก นอกจากนี้ โครงการ 50by40 ยังมีความสัมพันธ์กับองค์กรต่างๆ ทั้งภาครัฐและเอกชน รวมถึงองค์กรระดับนานาชาติ เช่น Greenpeace, WWF และ Compassion in World Farming ซึ่งมีเป้าหมายร่วมกันในการลดการบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์ และ ProVeg International เองก็มีสถานะเป็นผู้สังเกตการณ์ถาวรในองค์การสหประชาชาติ เช่น UNFCCC, IPCC และ CBD รวมถึงมีสถานะที่ปรึกษาพิเศษกับ ECOSOC และได้รับการรับรองจาก UNEA อีกด้วย ถ้ามองแค่เนทเวิร์คเบื้องต้นแล้ว วินาทีนี้ ตอบได้เลยครับว่า "อาหารที่เพาะเลี้ยงในห้องปฏิบัติการเป็นหลัก" มาแน่นอนครับ มองข้ามความ plant based / animal based ได้เลย
เพื่อบรรลุเป้าหมายนี้ โครงการได้ดำเนินกิจกรรมต่างๆ ทั้งในระดับโรงเรียนและการผลักดันนโยบายสาธารณะ ผมจะลองแบ่งเป็นข้อๆให้เพื่อความสะดวกในการมองภาพรวมประมาณนี้นะครับ
การดำเนินงานในโรงเรียนและเยาวชน 1. Early Action Network โครงการนี้เป็นความร่วมมือระหว่าง 50by40, ProVeg International และ Educated Choices Program โดยมีเป้าหมายในการส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืชในกลุ่มเด็กและเยาวชนผ่านกิจกรรมต่างๆ เช่น การจัดกิจกรรมเชิงโต้ตอบเกี่ยวกับสุขภาพ สิ่งแวดล้อม และสวัสดิภาพสัตว์, การจัดแคมเปญในโรงเรียนและชุมชน, การเผยแพร่สื่อการเรียนรู้และโปรแกรมฝึกอบรม, การปรับปรุงเมนูอาหารในโรงเรียนให้มีทางเลือกจากพืชมากขึ้น
โครงการนี้มุ่งหวังที่จะสร้างความตระหนักรู้และเปลี่ยนแปลงพฤติกรรมการบริโภคของเยาวชนตั้งแต่เนิ่นๆ เพื่อส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารที่ยั่งยืนและเป็นมิตรกับสิ่งแวดล้อม
- School Plates Programme ProVeg International ได้เปิดตัวโครงการ School Plates ในสหราชอาณาจักรเมื่อปี 2018 โดยมีเป้าหมายในการปรับปรุงเมนูอาหารในโรงเรียนให้มีความหลากหลายและสุขภาพดีขึ้นผ่านการเพิ่มทางเลือกอาหารจากพืช โครงการนี้ได้ร่วมมือกับโรงเรียน หน่วยงานท้องถิ่น และบริษัทจัดเลี้ยง เพื่อเปลี่ยนแปลงเมนูอาหารในโรงเรียนกว่า 3.1 ล้านมื้อจากอาหารที่มีเนื้อสัตว์เป็นหลักไปเป็นอาหารจากพืช
สำหรับในส่วนของการผลักดันนโยบายสาธารณะและการมีส่วนร่วมในเวทีนานาชาตินั้น ก็มีไม่น้อยครับ อาทิเช่น การมีส่วนร่วมในองค์การสหประชาชาติ ProVeg International มีสถานะเป็นผู้สังเกตการณ์ถาวรในองค์การสหประชาชาติ เช่น UNFCCC และ UNEP และได้มีบทบาทในการผลักดันให้มีการรวมประเด็นเกี่ยวกับอาหารจากพืชในการเจรจาด้านสภาพภูมิอากาศ โดยในปี 2022 ProVeg ได้เข้าร่วมการประชุมสภาพภูมิอากาศของสหประชาชาติในสตอกโฮล์มและบอนน์ เพื่อส่งเสริมแนวคิด "Diet Change Not Climate Change" และเรียกร้องให้มีการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารสู่การบริโภคอาหารจากพืชมากขึ้น
การสนับสนุนเยาวชนในเวทีนานาชาติ ProVeg ได้จัดตั้ง Youth Board ซึ่งประกอบด้วยเยาวชนจากทั่วโลก เพื่อมีส่วนร่วมในการผลักดันนโยบายด้านอาหารจากพืชในเวทีสหประชาชาติ และเตรียมความพร้อมสำหรับการประชุม COP30 ที่จะจัดขึ้นในเบเลง ประเทศบราซิล
นอกจากนี้ยังมีการสนับสนุนองค์กรและสตาร์ทอัพที่มุ่งเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารอีกมากมาย โดยที่โดดเด่นเป็นพิเศษคือ โปรแกรม Kickstarting for Good ProVeg International ได้เปิดตัวโปรแกรม Kickstarting for Good ซึ่งเป็นโปรแกรมบ่มเพาะและเร่งการเติบโตสำหรับองค์กรไม่แสวงหาผลกำไร โครงการที่มีผลกระทบ และสตาร์ทอัพทางสังคมที่มุ่งเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหาร โปรแกรมนี้มีระยะเวลา 8 สัปดาห์ โดยมีการฝึกอบรมแบบเข้มข้น การให้คำปรึกษาจากผู้เชี่ยวชาญ และโอกาสในการสร้างเครือข่าย เพื่อสนับสนุนการพัฒนาโครงการที่มีศักยภาพในการลดการบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์และส่งเสริมอาหารจากพืช
นอกจาก Sebastian Joy จะเริ่มต้นโครงการต่างๆมากมายไม่ว่าจะ ProVeg International, ProVeg Incubator, Kickstarting for Good แต่ก็ยังมี องค์กรพันธมิตรในเครือข่าย 50by40 ที่หลากหลาย เช่น Plant Powered Metro New York, Public Justice, Rainforest Alliance, Real Food Systems, Reducetarian Foundation, Rethink Your Food, SEED และ Seeding Sovereignty ซึ่งร่วมกันส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืชและการลดการบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์ แม้ว่าโครงการ 50by40 จะได้รับการสนับสนุนจากองค์กรต่างๆ อย่างกว้างขวาง แต่ยังไม่มีข้อมูลที่ชัดเจนเกี่ยวกับบริษัทเอกชนรายใดที่แสดงการสนับสนุนโครงการนี้อย่างเปิดเผยครับ
ทีนี้เรามาดูความเคลื่อนไหวของลูกพี่ใหญ่อย่าง USDA กันบ้างนะครับ จากการตรวจสอบข้อมูลที่มีอยู่จนถึงปัจจุบัน ยังไม่พบหลักฐานชัดเจนว่า กระทรวงเกษตรสหรัฐฯ (USDA) มีการสนับสนุนโครงการ 50by40 อย่างเป็นทางการหรือเปิดเผย อย่างไรก็ตาม มีความเคลื่อนไหวที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการส่งเสริมโปรตีนทางเลือกและการลดการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์ในระดับนโยบายของสหรัฐฯ ซึ่งอาจสอดคล้องกับเป้าหมายของโครงการ 50by40 อยู่เช่นกันครับ
ในปี 2021 คณะกรรมาธิการด้านการเกษตรของสภาผู้แทนราษฎรสหรัฐฯ ได้สนับสนุนให้ USDA จัดสรรงบประมาณ 50 ล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐฯ ผ่านโครงการ Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) เพื่อสนับสนุนการวิจัยเกี่ยวกับโปรตีนทางเลือก เช่น การใช้พืช การเพาะเลี้ยงเซลล์ และการหมัก เพื่อพัฒนาอาหารที่มีคุณสมบัติคล้ายเนื้อสัตว์
นอกจากนี้ USDA ได้ยอมรับคำว่า "cell-cultured" เป็นคำที่ใช้เรียกเนื้อสัตว์ที่ผลิตจากการเพาะเลี้ยงเซลล์ในห้องปฏิบัติการ ซึ่งเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของการกำหนดมาตรฐานและการควบคุมผลิตภัณฑ์อาหารใหม่ๆ ที่เกี่ยวข้องกับโปรตีนทางเลือก
แล้วกลุ่มองค์กรด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมและสุขภาพ เช่น Center for Biological Diversity ได้ส่งจดหมายถึงรัฐมนตรีกระทรวงเกษตรสหรัฐฯ เรียกร้องให้ USDA นำประเด็นการลดการบริโภคเนื้อสัตว์และผลิตภัณฑ์นมมาเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของยุทธศาสตร์ด้านสภาพภูมิอากาศ และปรับปรุงแนวทางโภชนาการแห่งชาติให้สอดคล้องกับเป้าหมาย "ด้านความยั่งยืน"
แม้ว่า USDA จะไม่ได้แสดงการสนับสนุนโครงการ 50by40 โดยตรง แต่มีความร่วมมือกับองค์กรที่มีเป้าหมายคล้ายคลึงกัน เช่น ProVeg International และ The Good Food Institute ซึ่งเป็นพันธมิตรในเครือข่ายของ 50by40 โดยมีเป้าหมายในการส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากการเพาะเลี้ยงเซลล์ในห้องปฏิบัติการและโปรตีนทางเลือก
อนาคตได้มีการขีด Goal ไว้ประมาณนี้ เรายังคิดว่าการที่ "แค่ไม่กินมัน" "ก็แค่เลือกกินอาหารธรรมชาติ" จะยังเป็นคำพูดที่เราพูดได้อีกไหม สิ่งนี้ก็ยังเป็นคำถามต่อไปครับ คงไม่มีใครสามารถตอบได้ใน วันนี้ (มั๊ง)
แต่ที่แน่ๆ มีคนไม่น้อยแล้วแหละครับ ที่บอกว่าอาหารจากแลปคุมในโรงงานที่สะอาด มันก็ดีนี่ สะอาดปลอดภัย ดีกว่าเนื้อหมูที่ผัดข้างทาง ล้างหรือเปล่าก็ไม่รู้ เอาหมูแบบไหนมาก็ไม่รู้
มันดูเหมือนว่าเป็นการเปรียบเปรยแบบตรรกะวิบัตินะครับ แต่รอบตัวคุณ มีคนคิดแบบนี้เยอะไหม? เป็นคำถามที่ไม่มีคำตอบอีกเช่นกันครับ

2025-04-29 17:49:12LLM interpretation:
That’s a profound and provocative statement: “The corruption of money is the corruption of the Logos.” Let’s unpack this in detail, integrating philosophical, theological, and economic dimensions:
⸻
- What Is the Logos?
In classical and theological terms: •Greek Philosophy (esp. Heraclitus & Stoics): Logos is the divine reason, the ordering principle of the cosmos—a rational structure underlying all reality. •Plato: While he didn’t use Logos as prominently, his concept of the Forms, especially the Form of the Good, parallels it. The Logos could be seen as the bridge between the realm of ideal truth and the material world. •Christian Theology (esp. John 1:1): “In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God.” Christ is identified as the Logos—the incarnate expression of divine truth, coherence, and moral order.
So, Logos = reason, truth, order, and meaning—both metaphysical and moral.
⸻
- What Is Money in Moral and Philosophical Terms?
Money is not just a medium of exchange; it is a tool of memory, a symbol of trust, and a measure of value. In a functioning system, it reflects: •Honest human action over time •Deferred trust and cooperation across generations •A shared language of value
In this sense, money is a representation of human agreements, which are grounded in speech, contract, and moral order—i.e., it is rooted in logos (lowercase l), as language and rationality.
⸻
- The Corruption of Money as a Violation of Logos
If Logos is the moral-rational order, then:
To corrupt money is to distort the shared language of value and trust. It is to introduce lies into the very structure of economic relationships.
This corruption occurs through: •Inflation and debasement (violating the honesty of measurement) •Manipulative monetary policy (favoring the few over the many) •Counterfeit value signals (misallocating resources) •Loss of accountability (removing consequences for moral failure)
Thus, money’s corruption breaks the moral symmetry between effort and reward, cost and value, debt and payment—violating logos in both linguistic and metaphysical senses.
⸻
- Theological Echoes:
If Christ is the Logos incarnate, then: •Monetary corruption becomes not merely economic malfeasance but moral rebellion. •It is anti-Logos—an act of anomia (lawlessness), which the New Testament identifies with the spirit of antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3–8).

2025-04-29 09:46:02In Jericoacoara, Brazil, a beach town famed for its natural beauty and vibrant tourism, an innovative project is quietly reshaping how locals and visitors think about money. Praia Bitcoin is an ambitious initiative to build a circular economy powered entirely by Bitcoin.
Launched in 2021 by entrepreneur Fernando Motolese, Praia Bitcoin was inspired by the Bitcoin Beach project in El Zonte, El Salvador. The vision is simple: create a self-sustaining Bitcoin economy where businesses and individuals use Bitcoin everyday in place of fiat money.
This idea holds special significance in Jericoacoara, where traditional banking services are scarce. The town lacks even basic infrastructure like ATMs, making financial inclusion a pressing need. With Praia Bitcoin, Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value—it’s a tool to empower a community and connect it to the global economy.
Transforming Jericoacoara with Bitcoin
Since its inception, Praia Bitcoin has worked to foster Bitcoin adoption in the area. Starting with a modest donation of 0.02 BTC, Fernando and his team have built a thriving ecosystem:
- Over 40 businesses now accept Bitcoin, ranging from souvenir shops and tour operators to beach vendors.
- Local students have received Bitcoin-loaded tap-to-pay, Bolt Cards, to use in their daily lives.
- Creative initiatives like “Bitcoin Banana Day” or "Frutas por Sats" (fruits for sats) where children buy fruits for 10 satoshis at school, have brought global attention to the project.
Praia Bitcoin’s success isn’t just about the adoption numbers, it’s about the stories. Families use Bitcoin to shop, business owners save on transaction fees, and children are learning the value of sound money at an early age.
LNbits - The Technology Behind Praia Bitcoin
Creating an economy on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network requires more than enthusiasm, it needs robust tools that are easy to use and adaptable to local needs. That’s where LNbits comes in.
Fernando and the Praia Bitcoin team have used LNbits’ open-source software to solve practical challenges and scale the project. With its modular design, LNbits provides tools that allow Praia Bitcoin to:
- Set Up Wallets: Community members receive user-friendly wallets that connect seamlessly to the Lightning Network, enabling fast, low-cost transactions.
- Issue BoltCards: Using LNbits’ BoltCard extension, the team has distributed NFC-enabled cards, allowing tap-to-pay functionality that makes Bitcoin payments as simple as using a credit card.
- Enable Flexible Payments: The project utilizes LNbits’ Point of Sale TPoS extension that allows merchants to easily receive Lightning Network payments.
Breaking Records, Building Community
Fernando doesn’t just implement solutions, he pushes boundaries. One of his most remarkable achievements was an attempt to set a world record for the most Lightning Network payments in the shortest amount of time. Over the course of one afternoon, 100 children in Jericoacoara received payments of 21,000 satoshis each, demonstrating the scalability and speed of Lightning-powered transactions.
This wasn’t just a technical feat, it was a community moment. The event showed how Bitcoin could serve as a tool for engagement, education, and empowerment, all while highlighting the possibilities of using the Lightning Network for real-world applications.
A Collaborative Approach to Innovation
One of the unique strengths of LNbits is its ability to evolve based on community feedback. While Fernando Motolese and Praia Bitcoin operate independently, their insights have helped refine the LNbits platform.
For example, Fernando’s need for a PIN-less ATM functionality led the LNbits team to implement that feature in the TPoS extension, that had the functionality but required a security PIN. This kind of collaboration isn’t about formal partnerships. It’s about how an open-source ecosystem thrives when real-world needs drive innovation.
The feedback loop between users like Fernando and developers ensures LNbits remains practical and relevant—not just for Praia Bitcoin but for countless other projects worldwide.
The Ripple Effect of Praia Bitcoin
Praia Bitcoin is a case study in what’s possible when Bitcoin meets a strong vision. By leveraging Bitcoin, the Lightning Network and LNbits, the project has redefined financial access in Jericoacoara, proving that small communities can lead big innovations.
For LNbits, Praia Bitcoin showcases the value of adaptable, open-source solutions. Whether it’s creating wallets, enabling NFC payments, or refining tools for real-world use, LNbits provides the infrastructure that makes projects like Praia Bitcoin possible.
But beyond the technical achievements, Praia Bitcoin reminds us of the human impact of Bitcoin adoption. It’s about children buying their first bananas with satoshis, families running businesses with lower fees, and a community connecting to a global financial network for the first time.
Conclusion
Praia Bitcoin’s journey is only getting started and its success is inspiring similar initiatives worldwide. For LNbits, being part of this story, is a testament to the power of the software and of open-source collaboration.
If you’re ready to build the future of Bitcoin adoption, LNbits offers the tools to turn ideas into impact.

2025-04-29 07:59:37Solar Power Tips for a Sustainable Remote Home Office
As more professionals transition to remote work, the need for sustainable and cost-effective solutions has never been greater. One of the most effective ways to reduce your ecological impact and lower energy costs is by harnessing the sun's power—specifically, solar energy.
Solar power is becoming increasingly popular among remote workers, providing a renewable energy source for residences with a home office setup. It helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and offers the potential for significant long-term savings.
This blog will list the benefits of using solar power in a remote home office environment. Whether you want to reduce your carbon footprint or reduce your energy expenses, the information will guide you in creating a more sustainable design for a productive home office. Choosing the Right Solar Panels Building a solar-powered home office starts with picking the right solar panels. You can choose from traditional photovoltaic panels to sleek solar shingles that blend with your roof's design.
Recent advancements in solar technology have introduced more compact and efficient panels, making it easier than ever to generate significant power, even in smaller spaces.
When choosing solar panels, prioritize efficiency ratings and durability. High-efficiency panels, such as monocrystalline options, can produce more energy with less surface area. They are ideal if you have limited roof space.
Aesthetics can also play a role, particularly if you want your home office to maintain a modern, professional appearance. For example, solar shingles offer a subtler alternative to standard panels while providing comparable energy production. Essential solar power components Setting up a fully functional solar-powered home office requires more than just panels. Below are the essential components to consider:
Inverters
Solar panels create direct current (DC), but most home appliances run on alternating current (AC). Inverters convert DC to AC, so you can use solar power. Look for high-quality inverters, such as micro-inverters, which optimize the output of each panel individually.
Batteries
Energy storage is critical because solar power is not always available. Solar batteries let you save extra energy made during the day so you can use it at night or when it is cloudy. Consider opting for lithium-ion batteries due to their high energy density, long lifespan, and relatively small size.
Mounting hardware
Proper installation is key to getting the most energy from your solar panels and making sure they can handle tough weather. Adjustable mounts let you place your panels to get the most sunlight and ensure they last over time. Benefits of Solar Power in a Home Office You may wonder: why is solar power for a home office such a big deal? Here are the reasons why: Cost savings and environmental impact One of the biggest benefits of using solar power in your home office is the potential to save a lot of money. Making your electricity can help you reduce or even eliminate your monthly energy bills.
The average owner can save between $10,000 and $30,000 over the lifespan of a solar energy system, depending on their location and system size. Plus, federal tax credits, state incentives, and net metering programs can lower both the initial and ongoing costs of going solar. Reliability and independence Solar power also provides unmatched reliability and independence, particularly in areas prone to power outages. Coupling your solar panels with a high-capacity battery storage system allows you to maintain power for essential devices during power cuts.
It becomes a critical advantage if you need to keep your computers, internet, and other tools working to stay productive.
Solar energy also frees you from relying on the power grid, which is especially helpful if you live in rural or remote areas where power may be less reliable or more expensive. Additional Tips for a Sustainable Home Office Maximize your home office with these practical ways: Complementary green technologies Consider incorporating complementary green technologies into your home office, such as:
Smart thermostats
Devices like the Nest or Ecobee learn your habits and adjust the temperature to maximize comfort while minimizing energy usage. A smart thermostat regulates heating and cooling based on your schedule, significantly reducing your energy use and costs.
Energy monitors
Tools like the Sense Home Energy Monitor help track energy usage across your home. You can identify energy-draining devices to make better decisions about allocating and conserving power and optimizing your solar system's efficiency.
LED lighting
Transitioning to LED bulbs uses less energy and makes your lights last longer. They further lower replacement costs and waste. Outdoor solar solutions Sustainability does not have to stop at your office door. The following outdoor solar-powered devices can enhance the eco-friendliness of your entire home environment:
Solar-powered garden lights
These lights use built-in solar panels to charge during the day and illuminate your outdoor spaces at night. They are perfect for adding ambiance to your yard or improving visibility along pathways without increasing your electricity bill.
Solar security cameras
Protect your property with solar-powered security cameras. They are self-sufficient and eliminate the need for extensive wiring.
Solar water features
From fountains to birdbaths, solar-powered water features add aesthetic appeal to your garden while relying entirely on renewable energy. Shine Bright at Home Embracing solar power for your home office is a smart step toward a greener, more cost-effective future. Choosing efficient solar panels, integrating essential components like inverters and batteries, and pairing them with complementary green technologies can help you create a sustainable workspace that aligns with modern, eco-conscious values.
If you're considering finding a home in Laguna, Philippines, solar energy becomes an even more valuable investment. With Laguna’s growing residential developments, eco-friendly communities, and abundant sunlight, homeowners can take full advantage of renewable energy to lower electricity costs and reduce their carbon footprint. Many new housing projects in Laguna also emphasize sustainability, making it easier to integrate solar solutions into your home.
Investing in solar power is more than a commitment to the environment—it is a long-term strategy for saving money and boosting reliability in your day-to-day work life. With these tips, you are well on your way to creating a home office that works as hard for the planet as you do.

2025-04-29 07:21:54The application of chlorine in water treatment is mainly reflected in its ability to act as a disinfectant. It can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in water, thereby reducing the risk of waterborne diseases. The following is a detailed description of the application of chlorine in water treatment:
Disinfection As an effective disinfectant, chlorine is usually added to water during the water treatment process in the form of chlorine gas, chlorophyll acid or chlorine. This process is called chlorination, which ensures that pathogens in the water are effectively eliminated. Chlorine's disinfection ability comes from its strong oxidizing properties, which can destroy the cell structure of microorganisms to achieve the purpose of disinfection.
Disinfection By-products Despite the obvious benefits of chlorine in disinfection, there are also some negative effects. Chlorine disinfection may lead to the formation of disinfection by-products such as chloroform and chloroform, which may pose potential health risks in high concentrations. Therefore, when using chlorine for water treatment, the chlorine content needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the safety of the water.
Chlorine Measurement and Control Monitoring and controlling the chlorine content in the water treatment process is very critical. Total chlorine is the total amount of all forms of chlorine in water, including free residual chlorine, combined residual chlorine and other forms of chlorine such as chlorinated hydrocarbons. Available chlorine refers specifically to the part of chlorine in water that has bactericidal ability, including free residual chlorine, some combined residual chlorine (such as monochromatic and diamorphine) and chlorine dioxide. The measurement of available chlorine is crucial for evaluating the disinfection effect of water.
In summary, the application of chlorine in water treatment is mainly as a disinfectant to kill pathogens in water through its strong oxidizing properties. However, the use of chlorine also needs to be cautious to avoid the generation of harmful disinfection by-products, and other safer disinfectants such as chlorine dioxide can be selected when necessary.

2025-04-29 06:23:10You don’t talk about it much — but you’re tired. Tired of pretending you're okay. Tired of giving your best and wondering if it’s even enough. Tired of being strong for everyone else while quietly falling apart.
But here's something you might not hear often: I’m proud of you.
Not because you’ve figured everything out — but because you haven’t given up. Even with the weight on your shoulders, you're still here. Still trying. Still hoping. Still holding on.
That counts. That matters. That’s strength too.
The truth is, progress doesn’t always look like big wins. Sometimes it’s just getting out of bed. Sometimes it’s choosing peace over proving a point. Sometimes it’s breathing through the pain and saying, “I’ll try again tomorrow.”
So if no one has told you lately: You’re doing better than you think. Rest if you need to. Cry if you must. But don’t stop. Because something beautiful is growing from everything you’re surviving.

2025-04-29 01:20:04PAN... แค่แพนเค้ก หรือ แผนล้อมโลกเรื่องอาหาร เมื่อหมากตัวจริงชื่อ Sebastian Joy
เราได้รู้จักกับคุณ Sebastian Joy กันไปแล้วนะครับ วันนี้เรามาขยายผลกันอีกหน่อย
ถ้าโลกนี้เป็นเกมหมากรุก อาหารคือกระดานที่ทุกตัวหมากต้องเหยียบเดิน และใครที่วางหมากอาหารได้...ก็วางโลกได้เหมือนกัน
ปี 2018 มีโครงการหนึ่งถือกำเนิดขึ้นในเยอรมนีอย่างเงียบๆ ชื่อว่า Physicians Association for Nutrition (PAN) เบื้องหน้าเหมือนเป็นมูลนิธิการกุศล ตั้งขึ้นมาเพื่อ "ช่วยให้หมอเข้าใจเรื่องโภชนาการจากพืช" แต่ถ้าเปิดแว่นขยายส่องให้ดีๆ มันคือหนึ่งในฟันเฟืองสำคัญของแผนเปลี่ยนอนาคตอาหารโลกจาก Animal-Based ไปเป็น Plant-Based ที่เป็น lab plant based ที่ไม่ใช่อาหารธรรมชาติแบบหลักแก่นที่ Vegan สืบทอดกันมา โดยอ้างเรื่อง "สุขภาพ" และ "สิ่งแวดล้อม" เป็นฉากหน้า
PAN นั้นเสมือนเป็นลูกสมุนตัวกลั่นของคนที่ชื่อ Sebastian Joy ชายหนุ่มสายโปรโมทแนว Vegan ที่ก่อนหน้านั้นก่อตั้งองค์กร ProVeg International ซึ่งมีสายสัมพันธ์กับพวก Start-up อาหารทางเลือก (ไม่ว่าจะเป็นเนื้อปลอม เนื้อพืชดีเอนเอ นมพืชที่มาจากจุลินทรีย์ ไปจนถึงการส่งเสริมวัตถุดิบจากแบคทีเรีย โรงงาน และห้องแลบ) แล้ว ProVeg ไม่ได้ทำงานเดี่ยวๆ นะจ๊ะ... เบื้องหลังเชื่อมโยงกับเครือข่ายที่หนุน World Economic Forum (WEF) และแนวคิด Great Reset ที่อยาก "รีเซ็ต" วิธีการกินของคนทั้งโลก โดยให้อาหารเป็น Plant-Based แบบ lab created และ Meat Lab-Based เป็นหลัก
ส่วน PAN ถูกใช้เป็น "หมากที่แต่งตัวเป็นหมอ" เพื่อเดินเกมไปสู่การแทรกแซงนโยบายประเทศต่างๆ ผ่านช่องทาง "สาธารณสุข" และ "การศึกษาแพทย์" เพื่อมาเป็นกำลังหลักให้ในแผนงาน
เรามาดูตัวอย่างผลงานเด่นของ PAN กันครับ 1. ผลักดันให้รวม Plant-Based เข้าไปในหลักสูตรแพทย์และพยาบาล (โดยใช้เหตุผลว่า "หมอต้องรู้จักอาหารเพื่อสุขภาพ") 2. ช่วยรณรงค์ให้โรงพยาบาล โรงเรียน และมหาวิทยาลัย เปลี่ยนเมนูอาหารเป็น Plant-Based 3. สนับสนุนงานวิจัย และโครงการ เช่น Green Food Experience ที่กดดันให้ภาคธุรกิจและภาครัฐบาลหันมาทำตาม "แนวทางอาหารยั่งยืน" แบบที่ PAN และพรรคพวกกำหนด 4. มีสถานะ "Observer" ในองค์การสหประชาชาติ (UN) เพื่อเสนอความคิดเห็นในการกำหนดนโยบายสาธารณสุขและสิ่งแวดล้อมระดับโลก
และเบื้องหลังอีกชั้นที่น่าสนใจ... Sebastian Joy มีความสัมพันธ์ลึกซึ้งกับวงการ Start-up อาหารใหม่ๆ ที่พยายามตีตลาด Plant-Based และ Lab-Grown Food อย่างเช่น Perfect Day, Beyond Meat, Mosa Meat ฯลฯ ผ่านการโปรโมท "โภชนาการจากพืชเพื่อสุขภาพที่ดีกว่า" โดยใช้ PAN เป็นเครื่องมือให้ดู "มีอำนาจทางวิชาการ" มากขึ้น
หรือถ้าให้พูดง่ายๆ คือ สร้างสนามแข่ง แล้วจับมือกับนักแข่งที่ตัวเองลงทุนไว้ PAN ดูเหมือนเป็นองค์กรกลางๆ ใสๆ แต่มันเชื่อมโยงกับโครงข่าย NGO และบริษัทเอกชนที่มุ่งแปลงร่างอาหารโลกอยู่เบื้องหลัง การที่ PAN ผลักดันนโยบายระดับประเทศ และแทรกซึมในระบบการศึกษา หมายความว่าอนาคตคนรุ่นใหม่จะถูกปลูกฝังแนวคิด "เนื้อสัตว์ไม่ดี" โดยไม่ทันรู้ตัว
แล้วมันเกี่ยวอะไรกับเรา? จินตนาการดูครับว่า - ถ้าวันหนึ่งโรงเรียนของลูกเรามีแต่เมนูถั่วเหลือง ซีเรียล นมโอ๊ต หรือ ไอศกรีมเวย์จากจุลินทรีย์ และห้ามเสิร์ฟเนื้อสัตว์ด้วยสารพัดเหตุผล เช่น เนื้อปนเปื้อนง่าย เนื้อทำให้เป็นมะเร็ง หรือแม้แต่สอนเด็กว่า เนื้อคือตัวการทำลายสิ่งแวดล้อมด้วย มีเทน นั่นอาจเป็นผลลัพธ์จากงานเบื้องหลังของ PAN - ถ้าวันหนึ่งนโยบายอาหารของประเทศเน้นลดเนื้อสัตว์ อ้างสุขภาพ อ้างสิ่งแวดล้อม อ้างโรคระบาด อ้างกฎแห่ง DNA ที่ถูกจดสิทธิบัตร แล้วโปรโมทเนื้อปลอมแทน นั่นอาจเป็นรอยเท้าของ Sebastian Joy ที่เดินมาก่อนแล้ว - ถ้าวันหนึ่งหมอจำนวนมากเชื่อว่า “เนื้อสัตว์คือตัวร้ายที่แพร่มะเร็งหรือทำให้สุขภาพเสีย” โดยไม่มีการตั้งคำถาม นั่นคือชัยชนะของหมากตัวนี้
ในขณะที่คนส่วนใหญ่คิดว่ากำลังเลือกอาหารเอง หรือ คิดว่าฉันกิน plant base / vegan เพราะรักโลก รักสุขภาพ แต่จริงๆ แล้วมีมือที่มองไม่เห็นกำหนด "ตัวเลือก" ไว้แล้วเรียบร้อย เพราะทั้งหมดมันไม่ได้เป็นอาหารธรรมชาติ มันคืออาหาร "สร้าง" ที่ไม่มีสัตว์, มันคืออาหาร "สร้าง" ที่ต้อง "สร้าง" มาจากโรงงาน แล้วเราต้อง "ซื้อ" มากินเท่านั้น ถ้าไม่สร้าง local ให้แข็งแรง อย่าหลงไปตามความสวยงามของการรักโลกในมุมเดียว เราอาจจะไม่สามารถปลูกพืชมาเป็นอาหารเองได้ เราอาจไม่สามารถเลี้ยงสัตว์เพื่อกินเองได้
PAN ไม่ใช่แค่องค์กรให้ความรู้ด้านโภชนาการ / PAN คือเครื่องมือในกระดานหมากรุกที่กำลังจัดการ "ตั้งโปรแกรมใหม่" ให้คนทั้งโลกกินตามแบบที่นายทุนและเครือข่ายเบื้องหลังเขียนบทไว้ และชายที่ชื่อ Sebastian Joy นี่แหละ...คือหนึ่งในผู้ถือหมากที่ยิ้มอยู่หลังม่าน
อาหารแห่งอนาคต มีทางเดินเหลือไว้ให้ เกษตรกร old school บ้างไหม สนธิสัญญาต่างๆเรื่องเมล็ดพันธุ์ เหลือทางเดินไว้ให้เกษตรกรบ้างไหม หรือสุดท้าย เราจะไม่มีไดเอทให้เลือก ให้ทะเลาะกัน เพราะสุดท้าย เราต่างต้องกินอาหารจากโรงงานเหมือนกันหมด บทความนี้คงจะเป็นได้แค่เพียง การตั้งคำถามขึ้นมาไว้ แต่ไม่มีคำตอบ ว่าเรากำลังโดนอ้าง plant based food มาเคลือบความเป็น อาหารโรงงาน (Plant Food) หรือเปล่าเพราะวันนี้หลายคนอาจมองว่าเป็นการตื่นตูม คิดมาก หรือแม้แต่ เราเลือกได้แหละ ก็ได้ครับ
ผมไม่ได้มีปัญหากับสายพืชล้วน ไม่ว่าจะเจ วีแกน แพลนท์เบส เพราะถ้ากินเป็น มองสารอาหารเป็น จัดการ anti nutrient ได้ดี มันก็ดีสำหรับคนนั้น แต่ซีรีส์นี้สำคัญที่ว่า plant based food is not PLANT food อาหารจากพืชไม่ใช่อาหารจากโรงงานครับ
ก่อนถึงวันที่เราจะไม่มีสิทธิ์แม้แต่จะเลือก #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

NIPs
Allow multi-user AUTH #1881 vitorpamplona is proposing a PR that reuses one connection for everyone by accepting multi-user logins on the relay side. Additionally, this PR standardizes how relays should handle multiple AUTH messages from the client, instead of leaving it as undefined behavior. Currently, most relays override the previous AUTH, which means developers can rotate the authenticated user within the same connection. Some relays only accept the first AUTH and ignore the rest. A few newer relays already support multi-user logins as described in this PR, which he believes is the correct way to implement NIP-42 AUTH. The purpose of this PR is to formalize that behavior.
Adds optional nip60.signSecret() and kind 10019 filter tag #1890 robwoodgate is proposing a PR that clarifies and improves Nostr <---> Cashu interoperability as follows:Adds an optional signer signature for NUT-10 well-known secrets to NIP-60, NIP-07 and NIP-46;Clarifies use of Nostr <---> Cashu public keys in NIP-61;Adds an optional reverse lookup filter tag to NIP-61 kind 10019 events.

Nos complace presentar a nuestro público lector la obra China y el regreso de Confucio, un compilación de artículos llevada a cabo por prestigioso profesor Carlos X Blanco, autor prolífico y colaborador de Hipérbola Janus, donde nos sentimos honrados y gratificados por sus aportaciones en la difusión de diferentes temas y áreas de conocimiento. En el caso que nos ocupa, el Extremo Oriente sigue siendo un gran desconocido para nosotros, los europeos, especialmente en cuestiones relacionadas con la mentalidad y las ideas que animan la cosmovisión de su nación más representativa, cuya pujanza económica, comercial y geopolítica ha encumbrado a la categoría de superpotencia mundial, hablamos, obviamente, de China. A través de un formato ligero y agradable, como es el diálogo, la obra nos presenta una serie de textos que nos permiten desentrañar las claves del pensamiento confuciano y su desarrollo a lo largo de los siglos XX y XXI. Un breve prólogo a cargo de David Ownby sirve de introducción a la obra. Uno de los ensayos principales es «Un siglo de confucianismo» de Chen Lai (1952), quien estructura el análisis en tres grandes secciones: los desafíos del confucianismo, sus respuestas y las formas en que ha sobrevivido en la era moderna.
En el análisis del Confucianismo, que permanece fuertemente imbricado en la conciencia del pueblo chino, se abordan cuatro grandes desafíos que enumeramos a continuación:
- Reformas políticas y educativas en la era Qing y Republicana (1901-1912): La abolición del sistema de exámenes imperiales debilitó la base institucional del confucianismo, afectando su papel en la sociedad y la educación.
- Movimiento de la Nueva Cultura (1915-1919): Se promovió la modernización basada en la cultura occidental, posicionando al confucianismo como un obstáculo para el progreso.
- Revolución de 1949 y la Revolución Cultural (1966-1976): La colectivización y las comunas populares destruyeron la base social confuciana, mientras que la Revolución Cultural lo atacó ideológicamente.
- Reformas de Deng Xiaoping (1978 en adelante): La modernización y la economía de mercado redujeron la influencia de los valores confucianos frente al pragmatismo y el utilitarismo.
Con anterioridad, el confucianismo siempre ha sido un factor de cohesión nacional, que ha contribuido a preservar la unidad del pueblo chino, especialmente contra las amenazas exteriores, como la que representó el enfrentamiento con Japón desde comienzos de los años 30 del pasado siglo, con la ocupación japonesa de Manchuria, y los sucesivos episodios bélicos vividos contra Japón entre 1937 y 1942.

El texto de Chen Lai toma como punto de partida los últimos años de la Dinastía Qing y los primeros años de la era republicana, entre 1901 y 1912, poniendo especial énfasis en el proceso de modernización emprendido durante esta época, con la introducción de las ciencias y las disciplinas occidentales, hecho que contribuyó a la condena al ostracismo de los clásicos confucianos. Este proceso conoce diversas etapas, a través de las cuales se procede a la abolición del sistema de exámenes imperiales, que durante años se había erigido como el pilar institucional del confucianismo, lo cual trajo como consecuencia inevitable que los eruditos confucianos abandonaran su papel central en la sociedad china. La tendencia a denostar la tradición confuciana se vio incrementada con la transición de la Dinastía de los Qing a los primeros años de la República, como demuestra la eliminación de las ceremonias sacrificiales en honor a Confucio y la prohibición del estudio obligatorio de los clásicos confucianos. De esta manera el confucianismo perdió su papel preponderante en la educación y la administración pública, quedando relegado al ámbito de la ética y la cultura.
Este proceso de rechazo y erosión del confucianismo en su papel de contribución a la identidad nacional china, y a la formación de las nuevas generaciones, se vio acelerado durante las siguientes décadas. Fue un proceso impulsado por intelectuales como Chen Duxiu y Hu Shih, que promovieron activamente la modernización junto con la asunción de valores occidentales como la ciencia o la democracia. Asumiendo posturas análogas a las occidentales en relación a la Tradición, se vio en el confucianismo una forma de pensamiento retrógrado y caduco, frontalmente opuesto al progreso, y por tanto desechable, respecto al cual sus enseñanzas carecían de todo valor operativo en el desarrollo de China. En consecuencia, el confucianismo vivió un ostracismo cultural e intelectual que lo sumió en la más absoluta marginalidad.
Con el advenimiento de la Revolución Cultural China y la conformación del régimen comunista, a partir de 1949 y hasta la muerte de Mao Tse Tung (1893-1976), la situación del confucianismo no mejoró y, muy al contrario, se consideró incompatible con el socialismo marxista. Los ataques se incrementaron y el confucianismo fue objeto de campañas de odio brutales, como aquella desarrollada entre 1973 y 1976, con la «Crítica a Lin Biao y Confucio», en la que se le acusó de «ideología feudal y reaccionaria». La destrucción de templos confucianos y la persecución de sus intelectuales fue un hecho habitual durante este periodo.

En el periodo inmediatamente posterior, a partir de 1978, el factor ideológico se vio atenuado con la llegada de Deng Xiaoping (1904-1997) al poder, y se impuso una época marcada por el pragmatismo y la importancia creciente del desarrollo económico y material. Los ataques al confucianismo cesaron en gran medida, pero se vio sometido a la lógica uniformizadora del utilitarismo y el crecimiento económico.
No obstante, y a pesar de los ataques continuos de los que fue objeto, Chen Lai pone de relieve la resistencia del confucianismo, su voluntad irreductible frente a la amenaza de desaparición, a través de las propuestas de diferentes pensadores confucianos contemporáneos. Es el caso, por ejemplo, de Kang Youwei (1858-1927) con sus propuestas de convertir el confucianismo en religión oficial o integrarlo en el modelo educativo con sus enseñanzas morales sobre el conjunto del pueblo chino. Otros filósofos, como Liang Shuming (1893-1988), trató de superar las antítesis del mundo moderno, y convertir la doctrina de Confucio en parte funcional del socialismo a través de su base moral y social, dado que veía en estas ideas la clave para lograr la armonía y la estabilidad social, tal y como lo había sido en los momentos más delicados de la historia del país asiático.
Paralelamente, intelectuales confucianos como Xiong Shili (1885-1968), Feng Youlan (1895-1990) y He Lin (1902-1992) trataron de aportar nuevos desarrollos a la doctrina confuciana en el terreno de la filosofía y la metafísica. Fruto de estas especulaciones surgieron nuevas escuelas como la «Nueva Filosofía del Principio» de Feng Youlan y la «Nueva Filosofía de la Mente» de He Lin. Tampoco faltaron nuevos intentos de integración entre los valores tradicionales y el socialismo marxista a través de las interpretaciones de Xiong Shili. No será hasta una etapa posterior a la toma del poder de Den Xiaoping que veremos revalorizarse el confucianismo, sometiéndose a un revisionismo que finalmente lo devuelve a las universidades y la sociedad china, momento a partir del cual se recupera su legado como parte de la identidad nacional.
Este proceso de revitalización ha contribuido al estudio del confucianismo y a la aparición de nuevas interpretaciones en las últimas décadas. Las reinterpretaciones del pensamiento confuciano han llevado a la doctrina a un contraste con ideas político-ideológicas del mundo actual, relacionadas con la «democracia», los «derechos humanos» y la «globalización», es decir, con aquellos ítems ideológicos que padecemos en los tiempos postreros, y que están impulsando cambios dramáticos en nuestras sociedades en estos mismos momentos. No obstante, esta recuperación del confucianismo no se ha limitado a las esferas más cultas y académicas, sino que también se ha popularizado, y su presencia en la sociedad china viene siendo cada vez mayor desde la década de los 90, como vemos a través del conocimiento de los clásicos confucianos a través de actividades y cursos dirigidos a la población en general.
De modo que, para Chen Lai, el momento actual, tras la rehabilitación del pensamiento confuciano, es clave para continuar fortaleciendo su doctrina, especialmente por el ascenso de China como potencia mundial, que ha conllevado un creciente interés de China y su cultura más allá de sus fronteras. Pero también, y más allá de aspectos generales y más formales, por el propio contenido ético y moral que le es inherente, y que puede actuar como un freno frente a la corrupción y degradación de los tiempos modernos. De manera que podemos afirmar que es posible una verdadera sinergia entre los valores tradicionales y los nuevos desafíos que la modernidad propone a China, en un frente amplio, en el terreno cultural, político, social etc.
En el segundo capítulo del libro Chen Ming, una de las figuras más importantes del resurgimiento del confucianismo en la China contemporánea aborda la trascendencia de susodicha doctrina en el contexto del Estado y la nación china del siglo XXI. Su enfoque nos proporciona un recorrido a lo largo de aspectos políticos, sociales, educativos, de identidad cultural y la religión, marcando diferencias respecto a otras perspectivas neoconfucianas más orientadas hacia la filosofía o la ética.
Y es que el neoconfucianismo fuera de las fronteras chinas ha diversificado sus corrientes y los temas tratados, y se han centrado en la relación con la democracia, la ciencia y, en definitiva, con su compatibilidad con los valores del liberalismo occidental. Temas que no son nuevos en las derivas interpretativas y especulaciones confucianas del pasado siglo. Un representante destacado de estas últimas posturas es Tu Weiming (1940), filósofo de origen chino nacionalizado estadounidense.
Dentro de la China continental, el discurso confuciano se ha mostrado plenamente funcional a los intereses del Estado chino, contribuyendo a la cimentación de los valores estatales y nacionales, desmarcándose de toda búsqueda de compatibilidad con los valores occidentales, y en su detrimento tratando de fortalecer la identidad cultural china postulándose abiertamente como un pilar fundamental del nacionalismo cultural y político del país asiático. De modo que Chen Ming no ve en la doctrina confuciana un conjunto de ideas abstractas y anacrónicas, sino un potencial en ciernes para seguir pertrechando las bases del Estado y la sociedad china en el mundo actual.
También es importante el análisis que hace del confucianismo frente a la religión, diferenciando sus elementos de toda forma de religión monoteísta, tal y como la concebimos en el «Occidente». No obstante, hay un elemento religioso en su origen, y la idea de un Dios (Shangdi o Tian) como creador y vertebrador de un orden moral. Se puede decir que Confucio transformó este pensamiento en una práctica basada en la ética y la virtud, pero sin eliminar su dimensión espiritual. Algunos intérpretes modernos de la doctrina han tratado de desvirtuar su contenido reduciéndolo a lo que en chino se conoce como «wenjiao» (enseñanza cultural), buscando una fórmula de secularización para despojarla de ese contenido trascendente. Según Chen Ming estos intentos de secularización fueron perpetrados por el Movimiento 4 de mayo a partir de 1919.
No obstante, debemos insistir en que el confucianismo, aún poseyendo una dimensión espiritual, no debe confundirse con nuestro concepto de religión, y hay que poner el énfasis en la idea de estructura moral y social, como una especie de guía moral y espiritual que actúa como antídoto frente a la crisis de los valores tan característica de los tiempos modernos. El texto de Chen Ming también aborda otras problemáticas que no podemos desglosar en la presentación por su amplitud y complejidad, como, por ejemplo, las relaciones del confucianismo con el Estado, el ateísmo del Partido Comunista Chino, la búsqueda de formas de integración y síntesis, cohesión social, el problema de la educación etc. Hay una serie de retos que se presentan a las ideas de Confucio en las que esta búsqueda de encaje en la China contemporánea plantea una serie de desafíos que ponen en riesgo la esencia de su tradición.
El último capítulo del libro está reservado a una entrevista entre Chen Yizhong y Chen Ming en la que se abordan todos los temas que se han tratado en los capítulos anteriores, bajo el formato de un diálogo profundo. Asistimos al contraste de multitud de argumentos sobre el Confucianismo y su relación con la modernidad, con los retos del futuro, con las tensiones y recelos que suscitan los valores liberales y occidentales, totalmente secularizados y, esto lo decimos nosotros, abocados a la destrucción de cualquier fundamento tradicional, étnico o espiritual a todos los niveles.

| |:-:| |LIPOVETSKY, Gilles; La era del vacío; Anagrama, 2006|
El libro que nos disponemos a reseñar hoy es enormemente complejo, y lo es en a medida que cuestiona elementos clave que ayudan a explicar desde el ámbito de la sociología y la filosofía una serie de cambios culturales, sociales y subjetivos en las sociedades occidentales desde mediados del siglo XX en adelante. La era del vacío: Ensayos sobre el individualismo contemporáneo fue publicada originalmente en el año 1983. Con un estilo ensayísticos y profundamente analítico Gilles Lipovetsky nos ofrece un análisis que trasciende los límites de la sociología clásica, al analizar fenómenos tan propios de nuestro tiempo como la subjetividad posmoderna, el hedonismo consumista y el declive de los grandes relatos ideológicos.
Este libro, que fue de una importancia capital en el momento de su publicación y durante la década de los años 80, se puede considerar como el primer intento de sistematizar la posmodernidad más allá de las teorías estéticas, centrándose en aspectos culturales y psicológicos cotidianos. Para Lipovetsky el mundo posmoderno está inmerso en una serie de procesos de mutación que pueden resultar ambiguos, así como tensiones, pero también con nuevas posibilidades.
|
| |:-:| |Gilles Lipovetsky (Millau, Francia, 1944)|
El autor parte de una premisa fundamental: y es que la modernidad ha dado paso a un nuevo estadio de la sociedad, el cual se caracteriza por la disolución de las grandes narrativas colectivas que antes daban sentido de conjunto a las vidas humanas. Frente a la racionalidad industrial, la ética del trabajo y la identidad colectiva que dominaban en los siglos precedentes, el individuo moderno encuentra ahora una posición de autonomía total y radical, pero, como contrapartida, también de vacío existencial. La sociedad de nuestros días, se mueve a un flujo de novedades que tienen un carácter efímero, limitado en el tiempo, consumos inmediatos y obsesión por la apariencia. En este contexto, la promesa de satisfacción inmediata a través del consumo y del individualismo no logra llenar ese vacío interior que se va generando en los individuos.
Lipovetsky describe como, con el advenimiento de la posmodernidad, las promesas de progreso y emancipación se han visto reemplazadas por una búsqueda permanente del placer inmediato, donde lo superficial y lo efímero se convierten en valores predominantes. Es un vacío que va mucho más allá del ámbito social y cultural, y que se extiende también al ámbito de lo subjetivo. El individuo se enfrenta a una sensación de pérdida de sentido que obtiene su mejor reflejo en la percepción de su vida y su relación con los demás. De ahí el título del libro: La era del vacío, que no solamente delata la ausencia de contenido, sino también la falta de profundidad, la superficialidad, que caracteriza a la vida moderna.
Pero el libro no se limita a una mera descripción o diagnóstico de esta situación que acabamos de esbozar, sino que su análisis pretende enfocarse en sus causas. Las transformaciones de la estructura social, la democratización del consumo, el ascenso del neoliberalismo, la tecnificación de las relaciones humanas y, en última instancia, un fenómeno de plena actualidad hoy, en 2025, como es la globalización. Estos son algunos de los factores fundamentales que explican todos estos procesos disolutivos, que Lipovetsky explica desde la perspectiva del sociólogo y el filósofo, manteniendo cierta distancia y ofreciendo respuestas, o soluciones, que huyen de toda simplicidad.
La obra muestra una crítica y escepticismo frente al pensamiento típicamente liberal que nos habla de las ilusiones del progreso y la emancipación total, como parte de las características de la modernidad. Frente a este espejismo, nuestro autor nos invita a reflexionar sobre la necesidad de encontrar nuevos sentidos y valores en un mundo donde éstos parecen desmoronarse por completo. Es una invitación a pensar críticamente sobre nuestra época y reconocer los desafíos que se plantean ante la fragmentación de los grandes relatos de la modernidad y la prevalencia de formas superfluas de existencia.
Uno de los elementos centrales de la obra, como ya hemos señalado al inicio, es la caracterización del hombre contemporáneo como un individuo narcisista, que viene a representar una especie de alternativa frente a la caída de las ideologías, un nuevo tipo humano surgido de la disolución de los grandes relatos colectivos. Y el término no tiene para Lipovetsky ninguna carga peyorativa ni negativa, sino que es un síntoma de esta época, el cual permite comprender cómo ha mutado la subjetividad en el seno de las sociedades del Occidente liberal, en las denominadas «democracias avanzadas».
El narcisista posmoderno no se caracteriza por un ego hipertrofiado en el terreno de lo psicológico, sino por la reorientación de la vida en todos sus aspectos al dominio del yo, que conforma un universo propio, con su bienestar, su apariencia, su desarrollo personal o sus emociones. Es lo que Gilles Lipovetsky concibe como una figura «postheroica», totalmente desvinculada del pathos del sacrificio, del deber, de la militancia política o religiosa. Ha perdido toda conexión con fenómenos de ámbito colectivo, con la lucha de clases propuesta desde filas izquierdistas, por la trascendencia religiosa, ignorando tanto el pasado como el futuro, y radicando su existencia en el presente, en el goce inmediato y la autorrealización subjetiva. Pero conviene insistir en que no se trata de un fenómeno individual o psicológico, sino que obedece a un patrón cultural compartido, moldeado por la lógica del consumo, por la publicidad, por la psicología positiva, por la cultura del entretenimiento y los dispositivos de la autoayuda. Lipovetsky emplea el concepto de «privatización de la existencia» para definir este tipo humano. En el escenario de la vida pública los compromisos ideológicos se diluyen y el ciudadano se transforma en un consumidor, en un mero espectador, en un usuario. La política se reduce a un fenómeno estético, se trivializa y se concibe como un espectáculo, como ese eterno simulacro del que habla Jean Baudrillard o el «postureo» que empleamos desde cierto lenguaje coloquial.
Lejos de advertirse una crítica a este fenómeno, Lipovetsky reconoce en este narcisismo contemporáneo una «forma de emancipación», que a partir de la liberación de los grandes relatos permite formas de vida más «flexibles, más «abiertas» y «tolerantes». Todo ello en un proceso de empobrecimiento del horizonte simbólico, especialmente en lo colectivo, en detrimento del incremento de la autonomía individual. Nosotros añadiríamos, que de una autonomía individual cada vez más atomizada, inorgánica y alienada. De hecho, este individuo hedonista no está dispuesto a sacrificarse por los demás, ni a morir por una causa, y cualquier cosa, por sagrada que sea, es susceptible de ser negociada siempre que revierta en su bienestar.
Las consecuencias derivadas de este proceso, y del nuevo tipo humano posmoderno, son obvias y evidentes, y ahí tenemos la disolución de los lazos sociales fuertes. Vemos cómo las estructuras tradicionales, que han garantizado la cohesión de las comunidades humanas, y que han definido un sentido de pertenencia, un ligamen hacia la Familia, la Religión o la Patria se ven seriamente deteriorados y condenados a desaparecer por completo. Estos elementos han dejado de regular la vida cotidiana, y se imponen vínculos débiles, fluidos y limitados en el tiempo; todo adquiere un sentido limitado en el tiempo, lo efímero domina las relaciones sociales, las afinidades electivas, adquiriendo cierto grado de virtualidad, de ilusorio.
El hombre posmoderno vive rodeado de tecnología, conectado con sus semejantes a través de ordenadores, de las redes sociales, pero solitario, autónomo y desorientado. Con lo cual la «era del vacío» que nos describe Lipovetsky no es realmente un vacío físico o material, sino un vacío simbólico, donde todas las coordenadas que nos conecten a un principio trascendente se encuentran totalmente ausentes. De modo que, el narcisismo clásico de la modernidad más temprana, la que ostentaba el burgués ilustrado, racional y kantiano que creía en la Razón, el Deber o el Progreso, se ha transformado en la posmodernidad, y lo ha hecho a través del narcisista que cree en su «derecho a ser feliz», a «cuidarse» o «experimentar» en una superficialidad que delata la desvinculación de todo centro de gravedad ontológico.
De modo que el hedonismo se nos presenta como el principio rector de la vida social en la era posmoderna, lo cual supone que es una norma compartida, y que conlleva una ética implícita que estructura los comportamientos y aspiraciones, y hasta los valores morales del hombre contemporáneo. Este hecho ha determinado la traslación del «deber» al «placer» en la historia reciente del sujeto occidental, en la que se puede ver cierta idea de «democratización» de esta concepción del narcisismo, de la idea de la «felicidad» y del «culto al yo» en términos puramente materiales, que son transmitidos a través de la publicidad o los manuales de autoayuda.
Este hedonismo está vinculado a una forma particular de existencia, que viene determinada por la lógica del consumo. Y es que para Lipovetsky, como reconoce en otra obra posterior, El imperio de lo efímero, la sociedad ya no se organiza en torno a la producción sino del consumo, entendido éste como el consumo de bienes, experiencias, imágenes, información o sensaciones. De ahí la importancia que poseen para este tipo humano el supermercado, el centro comercial, la pantalla de un ordenador o las redes sociales, que se convierten en el epicentro de la vida posmoderna.

Para Lipovetsky, el acto de consumir no se limita únicamente a las necesidades materiales, sino que se transforma en un «ritual identitario», en una fuente de sentido efímero pero intenso. El hombre posmoderno no compra solo por necesidad, sino para experimentar, como parte de la vida, para definirse. Es un consumo no utilitario, sino expresivo, «para sentirse bien consigo mismo». De modo que este imperativo de bienestar genera una nueva sensibilidad estética: la estética invade la vida cotidiana. La ropa, el diseño interior de una casa, el cuerpo, la alimentación, la música etc, todo se convierte en una cuestión de estilo, en una elección subjetiva. Esto supone que el individuo ya no se define por su pertenencia a un grupo dentro de la jerarquía social ni por su función dentro de la comunidad, sino por su «estética de la existencia». Y es esta estetización de la vida donde, según nuestro autor, reside una forma de construcción de sentido en un mundo desencantado.
No obstante, y siempre según Lipovetsky, este hedonismo posmoderno no se encuentra amparado por el puro libertinaje, sino que el placer también está regulado, normativizado e incluso tecnificado. Lipovetsky insiste en que no se trata de un exceso de placer dionisiaco, sino un placer racionalizado, controlado y saludable. El nuevo hedonista atiende a una responsabilidad, y vemos como hace yoga, se alimenta bien y se cuida en aspectos psicológicos y emocionales. El autor nos habla de un hedonista disciplinado, que gestiona su placer de manera ordenada y eficiente. No obstante, Lipovestsky reconoce que en esta búsqueda del goce y el placer individual, en la búsqueda de una pretendida «libertad» y «autonomía personal», el hedonista posmoderno se somete cada vez más a la tecnología, y es más susceptible de ser controlado por protocolos y normas en nombre de un pretendido bienestar. Todo ello en nombre de lo que en el libro se define como una «reformulación estética y emocional».
Con lo cual, podemos trazar ya en base al libro una cierta definición de la posmodernidad, que más allá de un simple momento histórico, nos ofrece un nuevo marco conceptual, determinado por una transformación profunda a nivel simbólico, ético y estético que han estructurado la cultura llamada occidental desde la Ilustración. Lejos de coincidir con el «fin de la historia» preconizado por Francis Fukuyama, Lipovetsky nos habla de una metamorfosis gradual, caracterizado por la disolución de las grandes narrativas, el debilitamiento del pathos trágico y el auge de la lógica de la inmediatez. Se trata de un enfoque más antropológico y existencial, donde el acento no se pone en una nueva forma de pensar, sino de vivir, de sentir, de relacionarse con el tiempo, con los demás y con uno mismo. Más que una crisis del conocimiento, del saber, se plantea como un reordenamiento del imaginario colectivo, donde el presente hegemoniza todo el interés y se concentra lo trascendente de la escala temporal.
Los grandes ideales desaparecen, aquellos que ofrecían una cierta densidad simbólica y una orientación trascendente. Con la posmodernidad se suprimen las «promesas fuertes» y se promueve una cultura de la «ligereza», de lo provisional, de lo fragmentario. Es un nuevo estilo de vida, menos trágico y combativo, menos solemne, donde lo lúdico y subjetivo acapara amplias cotas de la existencia. Es una mutación cultural donde lo maleable se impone bajo formas de reversibilidad y flexibilidad, todo se hace dúctil, sin compromiso, sin cohesión ni conexión alguna con la trascendencia o sistemas de pensamiento que condicionen la existencia en términos de disciplina y rigidez.
Otro rasgo esencial de la condición del hombre posmoderno es la «evaporación de lo trágico». De algún modo, en la era moderna, el héroe trágico encarnaba la tensión entre el deber y el deseo, entre el orden cósmico y la libertad individual. Sin embargo, en la posmodernidad, esta figura se desvanece, de modo que el sujeto particular ya no se encuentra escindido entre el yo y el deber colectivo, y ahora aparece condicionado por su propio presente, por sus decisiones cotidianas, la gestión de su tiempo, de su cuerpo y cuestiones que se desarrollan en un plano estrictamente personal. La cultura posmoderna evita el conflicto trágico, desplaza la culpa y trivializa el mal. Ya no encontramos el pathos heroico, sino el tono cool, la distancia frente a los hechos y la ironía. Y así tenemos la política convertida en un mero espectáculo, en el arte autorreferencial, en el relativismo moral, y, en definitiva, con un pensamiento débil.
Pero para el sociólogo francés esta ausencia de lo trágico no debe interpretarse como una pérdida, y para él el vacío no es nihilismo, sino una nueva forma de relacionarse con el ser, de manera menos intensa, más liviana, menos sagrada pero más «habitable». El hombre no cae en el desencanto, ni tampoco renuncia a encontrar sentido, pero lo busca de forma dispersa y provisional, sin grandes pretensiones. De este modo la vida se reduce a una relación entre vacío y deseo, entre la autonomía y la saturación de estímulos, que al fin y al cabo supone otro vacío, porque tras la saturación de estímulos solamente hay un sucedáneo de felicidad, dentro de esa tendencia a lo efímero, tras la cual, solo queda el vacío absoluto.
Y es que el diagnóstico que Lipovestsky nos hace de la cultura posmoderna sitúa como elemento central el papel de los medios de comunicación y la cultura del espectáculo. La televisión, el cine y la publicidad, a los que hoy podríamos añadir internet y las redes sociales, no son meros vehículos de información o entretenimiento, sino que son estructuras simbólicas que reconfiguran la sensibilidad, el tiempo y la percepción de la realidad. De hecho son los medios de comunicación de masas los instrumentos y catalizadores en la difusión de la cultura narcisista y el hedonismo personalizado, en la que el principio racional y discursivo cede su lugar a formas más emocionales, fragmentadas y efímeras en la relación con el entorno y el mundo en definitiva. De hecho, el lenguaje de lo visual, totalmente sobredimensionado, ha generado todo un lenguaje que se ha hecho dominante en nuestra época, en el que se privilegia la apariencia y la vivencia subjetiva por encima de toda estructura estable y jerárquica. Y de ahí deriva la espectacularización generalizada a través de la imagen, del impacto que produce, erosionando las fronteras entre lo público y lo privado, entre lo verdadero y simulado, entre el acontecimiento y la escenificación.
En este contexto, el espectador sustituye al ciudadano comprometido, y la política se convierte en un consumo simbólico, en el que el sentido de comunidad es reemplazado por consensos mediáticos efímeros. Para Lipovetsky no es, una vez más, una tragedia, sino que produce un efecto ambivalente: y si bien debilita el compromiso, también produce una sensibilidad más abierta, plural y tolerancia hacia la diferencia. Todo esto, bajo un aparente lenguaje académico y bienpensante, que no hace sino alimentar el pensamiento débil y la destrucción de cualquier idea o principio comunitario sustentado sobre pensamientos fuertes, sobre un principio de jerarquía y cohesión a nivel colectivo.
El hombre posmoderno ignora toda tensión espiritual, y en consecuencia vive la temporalidad de forma acelerada y discontinua, sometido a un flujo incesante de información, de novedades, y concibe su entorno y los estímulos que recibe de éste, desde la perspectiva de la obsolescencia programada. Por eso no se plantea jamás el porvenir e ignora por completo el pasado, para vivir bajo un «presentismo» hedonista, de tal modo que en su percepción del tiempo este no es sino un conjunto de instantes vividos, registrados, compartidos y, en última instancia, olvidados. Así se pierde el sentido de continuidad y duración, impidiendo que tanto a nivel colectivo como individual se pueda construir una identidad coherente o cimentar aquella existente.
Esto lo vemos a través de la cultura digital, aunque en el año que Lipovetsky escribe su libro, en 1983, todavía se encontraba en un estado embrionario o incipiente, pero ya se impone la idea de la hiperconexión, la instantaneidad, la lógica del feed y de la viralidad, que ahondan sobre una experiencia centrífuga del tiempo, donde ya no importa lo que es duradero, sino lo que aparece, lo que afecta y circula en un cambio continuo. De tal modo que el individuo se adapta a la velocidad más que a la profundidad.
Obviamente, la consecuencia es el debilitamiento y la destrucción de todas las formas narrativas tradicionales, tanto a nivel religioso e histórico como ideológico e incluso familiar. Todas estas estructuras, que garantizaron durante generaciones una estabilidad y cohesión en diferentes planos, pierden su poder para dejar su lugar a la cultura de las vivencias dispersas, fragmentadas e inconsistentes. Todo queda reducido al capricho de la experiencia subjetiva del individuo, a sus elecciones de consumo o sus afectos momentáneos. Y tenemos un amplio reflejo de estas ideas en todos los ámbitos, en el arte, en el cine o en la política. La «democratización cultural» y el «pluralismo ético» al que alude el autor, no es sino la destrucción de certezas y principios de carácter vertical, verdades íntegras y sagradas que entran en declive hasta desaparecer.
Ahora bien, una vez destruido el sentido profundo y cohesionador de las grandes instituciones normativas, como la familia, la escuela o el Estado, que sustentaban el cuerpo social mediante su legitimidad simbólica, ¿qué impacto pueden tener sobre los fundamentos éticos y educativos de la sociedad? ¿Qué ocurre con la transmisión de valores, la responsabilidad moral o el pensamiento crítico en una época tan volátil y carente de toda solidez? No existe ningún principio de autoridad en el que cimentar ninguno de estos principios, todo ha sido sacrificado en nombre de la autonomía individual, la horizontalidad y las identidades subjetivas. Es evidente que se ha generado un vacío y la falta de un anclaje o asidero en los procesos educativos. Los profesores ya no encarnan una figura de autoridad, y se encuentran supeditados a las exigencias de los alumnos, a su satisfacción emocional, a su sensibilidad, a garantizar que no se aburran, relegados a una posición de negociación constante. De ahí que la educación y el papel del docente se vea obligado a reformularse y adaptarse a nuevas formas de pedagogía, que en opinión del sociólogo francés, debe adaptarse a la transmisión de conocimientos para «formar subjetividades» dentro de una «pedagogía de la autonomía crítica» que no imponga valores.
En esta era del vacío, caracterizada por el debilitamiento, cuando no aniquilación, de los valores trascendentes, ya no hay una moral universal que pueda orientar las acciones. Lo que prima es una ética débil, individual, basada en la sensibilidad, en la empatía y eso que los progres y globalistas llaman «respeto a la diferencia», que entra en contraste con el desprecio y degradación de lo propio, de lo que le es familiar, de la Tradición en definitiva. Y que lejos de las observaciones de Lipovetsky, sí supone la caída en un relativismo autodestructivo. De hecho, el autor francés ve todas estas transformaciones propiamente posmodernas, de un pensamiento débil, fragmentado, antijerárquico y servil ante cualquier contaminación cultural o asunción de los valores destructivos y globalistas del melting pot como el efecto de una evolución positiva, donde lo emocional y afectivo, lo irracional, invita a la claudicación en nombre de una falsa justicia social, un falso ecologismo o la desfiguración de componentes étnicos, tradicionales e identitarios a nivel colectivo, para defender al modelo multicultural y globalizado, estandarizado y yermo de particularidades. Precisamente lo que hoy tenemos, con países totalmente destruidos en su esencia histórica, étnica y de legados tradicionales en la Europa occidental. Todo en nombre de un pensamiento superficial, fugaz y débil, entregado a los protocolos, normativas e imposiciones de una plutocracia global que somete e impone a una masa idiotizada Agendas en nombre de pretendidos principios de justicia que no son sino la antesala de formas aberrantes y deshumanizadoras de control tecnocrático.
Para terminar, aunque ya hayamos adelantado alguna de nuestras conclusiones respecto al libro, creemos que Gilles Lipovetsky ofrece una visión funcional a la posmodernidad, a la justificación de una serie de transformaciones sociales, culturales, políticas y humanas, que lejos de tener un efecto positivo, de evolución y progreso, envilecen y destruyen a la propia condición humana. La conversión del hombre en un ser infantilizado, egoísta y pusilánime, incapaz de adquirir compromisos colectivos, del sacrificio por grandes ideales que han sustentado modelos de civilización perpetuados en los siglos, no es sino el síntoma de un gran fracaso, de la claudicación del hombre, síntoma de la cultura de la cancelación y la promoción de una antropología negativa y el fomento del nihilismo, por más que se trate de camuflar con eufemismos absurdos y un lenguaje academicista totalmente hueco, retórica vacía, que no deja de ocultar una crítica necesaria frente a cambios estructurales que no son, ni mucho menos, el fruto de una evolución natural, sino totalmente inducidos, y en los que la tecnología sirve de medio de alienación generalizada del sujeto posmoderno. La «era del vacío» de la que nos habla Lipovetsky es una época de decadencia, degeneración, caos y deshumanización, y sin duda alguna es una oportunidad para volver a conectar con el pasado, para religarse con la Tradición e invertir el signo de los tiempos.
Desde un enfoque específicamente tradicionalista, el diagnóstico que Lipovestky nos hace de la sociedad posmoderna, si bien puede ser válido y aceptable desde una perspectiva crítica, resulta insuficiente porque no podemos insertarlo en una cosmovisión propiamente tradicionalista, y suran una sociedad tradicional completamente ajena a los ítems ideológicos que representa esta última. De ahí que la Modernidad, para René Guénon, por ejemplo, represente una desviación extrema de los principios metafísicos y universales que estructuran las civilizaciones tradicionales. Para Lipovetsky esté fenómeno es relativamente reciente, y no el resultado de un proceso histórico amplio y contrastado, que comienza a gestarse en los siglos. Lipovetsky diferencia la modernidad y la posmodernidad, como si fueran dos procesos independientes, en los que solamente nos habla de síntomas sin realizar un análisis de conjunto que llegue a la raíz metafísica del problema. Tanto para René Guénon como para Julius Evola, el individualismo se trata de un proceso de involución espiritual, un descenso hacia lo material y lo informe, algo que no entraña ningún aspecto positivo, y menos en los términos de una «mayor libertad», y donde Lipovetsky ve una posibilidad y una serie de cambios adaptativos, el tradicionalismo ve una forma de claudicación ante lo moderno.
La posición fría, distante y observadora de Lipovetsky difiere radicalmente del tradicionalismo, y no solo por esa ausencia de profundidad en el terreno de lo metafísico, sino porque no ofrece ninguna alternativa al oscurecimiento de lo sagrado, y se limita a una mera descripción de la decadencia, todo desde la perspectiva del científico.
Además, la superficialidad de Lipovetsky se queda únicamente en la catalogación cultural de fenómenos como el hedonismo y el individualismo, sin abordar la radical antítesis que éstos representan frente a lo espiritual. La actitud resignada del sociólogo francés actúa en el marco mental e ideológico de la posmodernidad, frente a la cual no hay que mostrar ningún tipo de alternativa, ni restaurar jerarquías naturales, ni apostar por valores heroicos y aristocráticos, ni mucho menos por la formación de una élite espiritual. Es obvio que el marco conceptual e ideológico en el que actúa este autor es radicalmente ajeno a cualquier concepción morfológica de la historia y concepción tradicional aneja a la misma.
Por otro lado, no se dejan de evidenciar lagunas en su discurso, en la medida que ve en el individualismo el motor de la posmodernidad, y lo asocia a la liberación respecto a las «ataduras» colectivas que representan la Patria, la religión o la comunidad, pero frente a éstas reconoce que solo queda un vacío existencial. Es un individualismo, que nada tiene que ver con aquel individualismo del kshatriya integrado en una jerarquía espiritual, que se erige como guía y estandarte espiritual frente a las naturalezas inferiores. El individualismo posmoderno no tienden a la diferenciación, sino que tiene un efecto de degeneración y envilecimiento a través de la autoexpresión narcisista y el hedonismo, atributos característicos del burgués y de la degenerada antropología liberal.
En definitiva, Lipovetsky es incapaz de proponer una salida positiva al conflicto que plantea la posmodernidad. Para él debe ser aceptado como un estadio inevitable de la historia, mientras que el tradicionalismo exige una ruptura total y absoluta con el mundo moderno, en la que la primacía de los principios metafísicos se convierte en una piedra angular, y son innegociables. El autor francés permanece atrapado en las paradojas y antinomias de un horizonte secular que critica, cayendo en una contradicción insoluble y sin posibilidad de continuidad. La «era del vacío», que abarca un periodo más amplio que el de la propia posmodernidad, representa un punto de ruptura con la Tradición primordial, y plantea una única salida, la cual pasa por la restauración jerárquica y espiritual. No podemos contemplar todos estos procesos disolutivos anejos a nuestro tiempo con la «neutralidad» de Gilles Lipovetsky, sin atender a la existencia de un horizonte metafísico y de Verdades eternas, rescatando el principio de lo Sagrado y la acción heroica en última instancia.

2025-04-28 08:33:05Author: Wanbiao Ye, CKB Core Developer Nervos Network
Secp256k1 and ECDSA aren't just common—they're the backbone of digital signatures in today’s leading blockchains. From Bitcoin (see Bitcoin Wiki) to Ethereum (see Yellow Paper, Appendix E. Precompiled Contract) to CKB (See this RFC), these algorithms are the default choice. They’re what let you prove ownership with your private key — your on-chain assets belong to you, and only you.
Elliptic curves are favored in cryptography because they provide high security with shorter keys. But are they truly secure and perfect? However, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently indicated concerns about security risks associated with secp256k1 and does not currently endorse its use. Instead, it suggests an alternative curve: secp256r1 (see Recommendations for Discrete Logarithm-based Cryptography, p1). Meanwhile, Bitcoin is evolving—introducing Schnorr signatures in 2021 to replace ECDSA.
The core issue is ECDSA itself—it is highly vulnerable and has caused serious incidents. In this post, we’ll revisit the key attacks, reproduce them, and explain how CKB's segregated witness design and support for upgradable cryptographic algorithms help mitigate these risks. I’ll walk you through a historical overview and attempt to recreate some of the most infamous attacks: nonce reuse attack, invalid curve attack, transaction malleability attacks, and side-channel attacks. Finally, I’ll highlight how CKB addresses these issues through Segregated Witness and support for upgradable cryptographic algorithms—by excluding ECDSA signatures from the transaction hash and enabling algorithm upgrades, so that developers can adopt solutions that best suit their needs without compromising security.
This article uses the following notation:
|
m
| Message | 256-bit integer | | --- | --- | --- | |r
| Part of the signature | 256-bit integer | |s
| Part of the signature | 256-bit integer | |k
| Nonce used during signing | 256-bit integer | |g
| Generator point on the elliptic curve representing (x, y) coordinates | two 256-bit integers |Nonce Reuse Attack
Due to Bitcoin, secp256k1 and ECDSA became widely known. But they weren’t obscure before. For example, Sony used to mark its PlayStation firmware as valid and unmodified using a private key stored at the company's headquarters. PlayStation 3 only requires a public key to verify that the signature is from Sony. But unfortunately, Sony was hacked due to their poor code implementation, meaning that any future system updates they release could be easily decrypted.
At fail0verflow, hackers demonstrated part of Sony’s ECDSA code and discovered that Sony kept the value of the random number always at 4, which caused the random private key
k
in the ECDSA signature process to always have the same value. ECDSA requiresk
to be randomly generated every time. Reusing it leaks the private key.python def get_random_number(): # Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random. return 4
Given:
-
Message
m₁
and signature(r₁, s₁)
-
Message
m₂
and signature(r₂, s₂)
-
Both
m₁
andm₂
are signed with the same unknownk
Then:
```plaintext s₁ = (m₁ + prikey * r₁) / k s₂ = (m₂ + prikey * r₁) / k s₁ / s₂ = (m₁ + prikey * r₁) / (m₂ + prikey * r₁) prikey = (s₁ * m₂ - s₂ * m₁) / (s₂ - s₁) / r₁
```
A real-world example to help you better understand how a private key can be recovered from two signatures that use the same random number
k
:```python import pabtc
m1 = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x72a963cdfb01bc37cd283106875ff1f07f02bc9ad6121b75c3d17629df128d4e) r1 = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x741a1cc1db8aa02cff2e695905ed866e4e1f1e19b10e2b448bf01d4ef3cbd8ed) s1 = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x2222017d7d4b9886a19fe8da9234032e5e8dc5b5b1f27517b03ac8e1dd573c78)
m2 = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x059aa1e67abe518ea1e09587f828264119e3cdae0b8fcaedb542d8c287c3d420) r2 = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x741a1cc1db8aa02cff2e695905ed866e4e1f1e19b10e2b448bf01d4ef3cbd8ed) s2 = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x5c907cdd9ac36fdaf4af60e2ccfb1469c7281c30eb219eca3eddf1f0ad804655)
prikey = (s1 * m2 - s2 * m1) / (s2 - s1) / r1 assert prikey.x == 0x5f6717883bef25f45a129c11fcac1567d74bda5a9ad4cbffc8203c0da2a1473c ```
Invalid Curve Attack
Invalid Curve Attack involves using points not on the intended curve. Attackers can bypass signature verification or key validation by crafting an invalid public key.
During the signing process, an attacker could somehow construct an invalid public key. This invalid public key has some mathematical relationship with the attacker's private key (for example, the attacker signs by forging an invalid public key), which allows the attacker to generate a seemingly valid signature. Normally, the signature verification algorithm would check whether the public key is within the secp256k1 curve range. If the public key is invalid, the system should reject the signature. However, assuming the system does not perform sufficient curve point validity checks, the attacker could submit a request containing an invalid public key and a forged signature. In some cases, the system might incorrectly accept this invalid signature, considering it as legitimate. The attacker's signature could pass the system's checks, causing malicious transactions or operations to be wrongly considered valid, thus executing certain illegal actions, such as transferring funds or modifying data.
A real-world example is the elliptic curve verification vulnerability in OpenSSL. In 2015, an OpenSSL version prior to v1.0.2 had an elliptic curve verification vulnerability. An attacker could construct an invalid elliptic curve point and use it as a public key, exploiting certain vulnerabilities in OpenSSL to bypass verification, thus attacking systems using the library. This vulnerability, known as CVE-2015-1786, allowed attackers to bypass signature verification by forging an invalid public key. The same issue also occurred in the ECDSA library used by Bitcoin Core, where earlier versions of the library did not perform sufficient checks on elliptic curve points.
Before this vulnerability was fixed, attackers could bypass the system's curve validity checks without proper verification, leading to potential denial of service or other security issues.
Transaction Malleability Attack
In ancient times, if you hammered a gold coin, it changed shape but kept its value. This is called malleability.
Mt. Gox was once the largest Bitcoin exchange in the world. The company, headquartered in Tokyo, is estimated to have accounted for 70% of Bitcoin trading volume in 2013. In 2014, the exchange was hacked, resulting in a loss of approximately 850,000 Bitcoins. The hackers employed a technique known as a transaction malleability attack.
The specific process of the attack is as follows:
-
The attacker initiates a withdrawal Tx A on Mt. Gox
-
Before Tx A is confirmed, it manipulates the transaction's signature, causing the transaction hash, which uniquely identifies the transaction, to change and generating a forged Tx B.
-
Tx B is confirmed on the blockchain, and the exchange receives a failure message for Tx A.
The exchange mistakenly believes that the withdrawal has failed and constructs a new withdrawal transaction for the attacker.
The core of this attack is that the attacker can modify parts of the transaction's signature (such as the input signature) or other non-critical fields, thereby changing the transaction's hash, but without altering the actual content of the transaction.
Coincidentally, secp256k1 + ECDSA indeed provides a very convenient method that allows attackers to modify the signature result while still passing the signature verification. If we analyze the ECDSA signature verification algorithm, we find that the verification result is independent of the sign of the s value in the signature (r, s).
To verify this, we write the following test code:
```python import pabtc
prikey = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(1) pubkey = pabtc.secp256k1.G * prikey msg = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x72a963cdfb01bc37cd283106875ff1f07f02bc9ad6121b75c3d17629df128d4e)
r, s, _ = pabtc.ECDSA.sign(prikey, msg) assert pabtc.ECDSA.verify(pubkey, msg, r, +s) assert pabtc.ECDSA.verify(pubkey, msg, r, -s) ```
In the above code, we signed a message with the private key and then took the negative sign of the s value in the signature. We found that the modified signature still passed the ECDSA verification.
Bitcoin had this attack risk in its earlier versions. Attackers used a malleability attack to break the immutability of transactions, leading to severe security issues. To solve this problem, Bitcoin made improvements in the Segregated Witness (SegWit) upgrade. SegWit separated the signature part of the transaction from the other data, so even if the attacker altered the signature part, the transaction hash would no longer be affected, thus solving the transaction malleability issue.
This problem also has similar impacts on other blockchain systems, so many projects have adopted solutions similar to SegWit to ensure the integrity and traceability of transactions. Another solution is the one taken by Ethereum, where additional requirements were imposed on the s value in the signature. Ethereum requires that s must be smaller than
pabtc.secp256k1.N / 2
. You can find Ethereum's detailed solution to the transaction malleability attack in Appendix F. Signing Transactions in its Yellow Paper (p. 26).As a poem goes:
Mt. Gox, the name on the door,
So many users, could there be more?
Bitcoin stolen, hearts hit the floor.
Hashes changed, transactions no more.
Cold wallets emptied, riches out the door,
Gone with the wind, the wealth we adore.Side-Channel Attack
On a flight, I sat next to a man who kept checking stock prices. We chatted briefly, and he mentioned the market was bad this year, then asked me to guess how much he’d lost.
I said, “Probably around a hundred thousand.”
Surprised, he asked how I knew.
I explained: He wore business attire but carried a Swiss Army backpack—clearly not a top exec, more like business development. His Armani watch suggested mid-level income. His shirt was old but well-pressed—his wife likely takes care of him. The Hello Kitty charm on his bag hinted at a young daughter. His stock picks were all tech-related, so he’s probably in the industry. Based on all this, I estimated his disposable capital was around 200–300k, so losing 100k made sense. Dark circles and thinning hair showed stress; his wife likely didn’t know about the losses. I also saw a newly downloaded crypto trading app on his phone—he was probably planning to gamble on crypto next. Then I tapped open his stock app: 280k invested, 102k lost.
He didn’t say another word during the flight. Just sat there, rubbing his eyes. His meal remained untouched.
The story above comes from the Chinese internet, first appearing in 2015. Due to its widespread reposting, the author is unknown. In this story, "I" launched a side-channel attack on the man. Although he didn’t reveal any information about his personal investments, his financial status influences his attire, so we can reverse-engineer his financial situation through his clothing.
In cryptography, a side-channel attack refers to a method of using physical or behavioral information (such as execution time, power consumption, electromagnetic radiation, etc.) generated during a device's operation to break a cryptographic or signature scheme.
For secp256k1 elliptic curve and ECDSA signature schemes, such an attack could infer the private key by analyzing the execution characteristics of crucial operations.
In ECDSA, the signing process involves generating a random number
k
used to calculate part of the signature. The security of this randomk
is crucial; Once leaked, the private key is compromised:Example:
Given the following information, please compute the secp256k1 private key:
plaintext m = 0x72a963cdfb01bc37cd283106875ff1f07f02bc9ad6121b75c3d17629df128d4e k = 0x1058387903e128125f2715d7de954f53686172b78c3f919521ae4664f30b00ca r = 0x75ee776c554b1dd5e1680a4cc9a3d0e8cb11400742d8af0222ce383e642f98db s = 0x35fd48c9157256558184e20c9392ff3c9517f9753e3745aede06cab285f4bc0d
Answer:
python prikey = (s * k - m) / r assert prikey == 1
The verification code is as follows:
```python import pabtc
m = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x72a963cdfb01bc37cd283106875ff1f07f02bc9ad6121b75c3d17629df128d4e) k = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x1058387903e128125f2715d7de954f53686172b78c3f919521ae4664f30b00ca) r = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x75ee776c554b1dd5e1680a4cc9a3d0e8cb11400742d8af0222ce383e642f98db) s = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x35fd48c9157256558184e20c9392ff3c9517f9753e3745aede06cab285f4bc0d)
prikey = (s * k - m) / r assert prikey == pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(1) ```
The calculation of the random number
k
involves elliptic curve point multiplication and modular inversion operations (typically implemented using the extended Euclidean algorithm). These operations may have execution times that depend onk
, and side-channel attackers can measure execution time differences to extract information aboutk
. To demonstrate the principle, I will try to simplify the attack process.Example: Suppose there is an unknown random number
k
, and a hacker is somehow able to detect the execution time ofg * k
. Try to see if it's possible to extract some information about the random numberk
.Answer: By examining the point multiplication algorithm on elliptic curves, we find that different operations are executed depending on the bit value of
k
. When a bit is 0, the amount of computation is less than when the bit is 1. We first take two differentk
values—one with most bits being 0, and the other with most bits being 1—and measure the difference in their execution times. Then, when a new unknownk
is used in the computation, we detect its execution time and compare it with the previous two values. This allows us to roughly estimate how many 1 bits are present in the unknownk
.The experimental code is shown below. Note: To simplify the attack steps, in the experimental code we assume that the first bit of all participating
k
values is always 1.```python import pabtc import random import timeit
k_one = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x800000...) k_255 = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x7fffff...) k_unknown = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(random.randint(0, pabtc.secp256k1.N - 1) | k_one.x)
a = timeit.timeit(lambda: pabtc.secp256k1.G * k_one, number=1024) b = timeit.timeit(lambda: pabtc.secp256k1.G * k_255, number=1024) c = timeit.timeit(lambda: pabtc.secp256k1.G * k_unknown, number=1024)
d = (c - a) / ((b - a) / 254) print(d) ```
The attack process described above is a timing attack, which is a type of side-channel attack. To defend against timing attack, you can introduce constant-time operations in the code to avoid leaking information, such as using fixed-time addition and multiplication operations to prevent timing differences from being exploited.
In real-world applications, preventing side-channel attacks in cryptographic algorithms requires comprehensive security optimizations at the algorithm, hardware, and software levels. However, since the secp256k1 and ECDSA schemes were not designed with such attacks in mind, defending against them is particularly difficult and complex.
CKB's Approach: Segregated Witness + Upgradable Cryptographic Algorithms
In terms of transaction structure, CKB adopts Bitcoin’s Segregated Witness scheme, meaning that the transaction hash does not include the ECDSA signature. This design helps prevent transaction malleability attacks. See the Transaction Hash section of the RFC for details.
The Secp256k1 + ECDSA scheme is CKB’s default signature scheme, but thanks to CKB’s custom cryptographic primitives and native account abstraction capabilities, we can easily implement many other cryptographic algorithms in CKB, as well as upgrade existing ones. Developers on CKB are free to choose any algorithm they trust to protect the assets, including but not limited to:
Final Remarks
In short, although secp256k1 and ECDSA are widely used and quite secure when implemented properly and used correctly, we still must not overlook some of their potential vulnerabilities. Thanks to Bitcoin’s development, secp256k1 and ECDSA have gained great fame, but they have also attracted more attention from cryptographers and malicious hackers. In the future, more types of attacks on secp256k1 may be gradually discovered and exploited. Therefore, staying vigilant, updating in time, and following the latest security best practices is critical for maintaining system security. As the field of cryptography continues to advance, there are already some more secure and efficient alternatives available. But regardless of this, understanding and addressing current risks remains the responsibility and challenge of every developer.

Secp256k1 与 ECDSA 椭圆曲线不仅常见,更是当今区块链数字签名的基础。从比特币(见 Bitcoin Wiki)到以太坊(见 Yellow Paper, Appendix E. Precompiled Contract)再到 CKB (见 RFC 24 相关部分) ,secp256k1 + ECDSA 都是它们的默认选择。它们让你通过私钥证明所有权——你的链上资产属于你,且仅属于你。
椭圆曲线之所以在密码学中有优势,因为它们可以在较小的密钥长度下提供更高的安全性。 但是, 它们真的是安全且完美的算法吗?美国国家标准与技术研究院(NIST)最近认为 secp256k1 存在一些安全风险,已经不建议使用。作为替代,它们建议使用另一条名为 secp256r1 的椭圆曲线(见 Recommendations for Discrete Logarithm-based Cryptography, p1)。另一方面,比特币自身也在改变——在 2021 年引入了一种叫做 Schnorr 的签名算法来尝试替代 ECDSA。
促成这些改变的本质原因是因为 ECDSA 签名算法自身的问题——极其容易受到攻击,并造成过许多灾难性的后果。在本次分享中,我将带领大家回顾历史,并尝试重现这些历史上的著名攻击:随机数重用攻击、心脏点攻击、交易延展攻击、旁路攻击。最后我将指出 CKB 所采用的隔离见证,配合支持加密算法升级的方式——交易哈希不包含 ECDSA 签名,并允许算法升级,在确保安全的同时让用户可以采用更适合自己需求的方案。
本文会使用一些数学符号,约定如下:
|
m
| 消息 | 256 位整数 | | --- | --- | --- | |r
| 签名的一部分 | 256 位整数 | |s
| 签名的一部分 | 256 位整数 | |k
| 随机数字,在签名时需要用到 | 256 位整数 | |g
| 椭圆曲线的生成点,代表坐标 x 和 y | 两个 256 位整数 |随机数重用攻击
因为比特币的原因,secp256k1 椭圆曲线以及 ECDSA 签名算法变得无人不知、无人不晓。但其实在比特币之前,它们也并非无人问津。例如在 Playstation 3 时代,索尼就使用存储在公司总部的私钥将其 Playstation 固件标记为有效且未经修改。Playstation 3 只需要一个公钥来验证签名是否来自索尼。 但不幸的是,索尼因为他们糟糕的代码实现而遭到了黑客的破解,这意味着他们今后发布的任何系统更新都可以毫不费力地解密。
在 fail0overflow 大会上, 黑客展示了索尼 ECDSA 的部分代码, 发现索尼让随机数的值始终保持 4, 这导致了 ECDSA 签名步骤中的随机私钥 k 始终会得到相同的值。ECDSA 签名要求随机数 k 是严格随机的, 如果重复使用 k, 将直接导致私钥泄露.
python get_random_number(): # Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random. return 4
例:有以下信息,求私钥 prikey
-
信息 m₁ 及其签名 (r₁, s₁);
-
信息 m₂ 及其签名 (r₂, s₂);
-
信息 m₁ 和 m₂ 使用相同的随机数 k 进行签名, k 的具体数据则未知。
答:
plaintext s₁ = (m₁ + prikey * r₁) / k s₂ = (m₂ + prikey * r₂) / k = (m₂ + prikey * r₁) / k s₁ / s₂ = (m₁ + prikey * r₁) / (m₂ + prikey * r₁) prikey = (s₁ * m₂ - s₂ * m₁) / (s₂ - s₁) / r₁
这里有一个实际的例子可以帮助大家更直观的理解,如何通过两个使用相同随机数 k 的签名来还原私钥:

心脏点攻击
心脏点攻击(invalid curve attacks)指攻击者通过生成不在标准曲线上的点,通过这种方式绕过签名验证、密钥生成或者其他基于曲线的操作。
在签名过程中,攻击者可以通过某种方式构造一个无效的公钥。该无效公钥与攻击者的私钥之间存在某种数学关系(例如,攻击者通过伪造一个无效的公钥进行签名),这使得攻击者能够生成一个看似有效的签名。正常情况下,签名验证算法会检查公钥是否在 secp256k1 曲线范围内。如果公钥无效,系统应该拒绝该签名。但是,假设系统没有进行充分的曲线点有效性检查,攻者可能会提交一个包含无效公钥和伪造签名的请求。在某些情况下,系统可能会错误地接受这个无效签名,认为它是合法的。攻击者的签名可能会通过系统的检查,导致恶意的交易或操作被错误地认为是有效的,从而执行某些非法操作,比如转移资金或修改数据。
一个现实中的例子是 OpenSSL 中的椭圆曲线验证漏洞。2015 年,OpenSSL v1.0.2 之前的一个版本存在一个椭圆曲线验证漏洞。攻击者可以通过构造一个无效的椭圆曲线点并将其用作公钥, 利用 OpenSSL 的某些漏洞绕过验证,进而攻击使用该库的系统。这个漏洞被称为 CVE-2015-1786, 它允许攻击者通过伪造无效的公钥来绕过签名验证。同样的问题也曾发生在 Bitocin Core 使用的 ECDSA 库中,早期版本的库没有对椭圆曲线点进行足够的检查。
在这个漏洞被修复之前,攻击者可以在不进行正确验证的情况下,绕过系统对曲线有效性的检查, 从而导致可能的拒绝服务或其他安全问题。
交易延展性攻击
在古代,如果我们把一枚金币敲变形之后,虽然形状有所改变,但质量却没有发生变化,在市场交易中它仍然会被认可为一枚金币,甚至您将金币敲成金块,它依然会被认可,这种特性呢被称为“延展性”或“可锻性”。
Mt. Gox(门头沟)一度是世界上最大的比特币交易所。该公司总部位于东京,估计 2013 年占比特币交易量的 70%。2014 年,门头沟交易所被黑客攻击,造成了约 85 万枚比特币的损失。在门头沟事件中,黑客所采用的是一种名为交易延展性攻击(transaction malleability attack)的手法。
此次攻击的具体过程如下:攻击者首先在门头沟发起一笔提现交易 a, 接着在交易 a 被确认之前通过篡改交易签名,使得标识一笔交易唯一性的交易哈希发生改变,生成伪造的交易 b。之后,交易 b 被区块链确认,而交易所则收到了交易 a 失败的信息。交易所误认为提现失败从而重新为攻击者构造一笔新的提现交易。
要使得攻击成立,其核心是攻击者能够修改交易的签名部分(如输入的签名)或者其他非关键的字段, 从而改变交易的哈希值,但不会改变交易的实际内容.
巧合的是,secp256k1 + ECDSA 确实存在一种十分便捷的方式,使得攻击者可以修改签名结果的同时仍然能通过签名验证。如果我们分析 ECDSA 验签算法,会发现验签结果和签名(r, s)中的 s 值的符号是无关的。
为了验证这一点,我们编写如下测试代码:
```python import pabtc prikey = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(1) pubkey = pabtc.secp256k1.G * prikey msg = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x72a963cdfb01bc37cd283106875ff1f07f02bc9ad6121b75c3d17629df128d4e)
r, s, _ = pabtc.ECDSA.sign(prikey, msg) assert pabtc.ECDSA.verify(pubkey, msg, r, +s) assert pabtc.ECDSA.verify(pubkey, msg, r, -s) ``` 在上述代码中,我们使用私钥对一条消息进行了签名,然后对签名中的 s 值取负号,发现修改后的签名依然能通过 ECDSA 验证。
比特币在早期版本中存在这种攻击的风险,攻击者通过延展性攻击破坏了交易的不可篡改性,导致了严重的安全问题。为了解决这一问题,比特币在 Segregated Witness (SegWit) 升级中做了改进,SegWit 将交易的签名部分与其他数据分开存储,使得即使攻击者篡改签名部分,交易哈希也不再受影响,从而解决了交易延展性问题。
这个问题在其他区块链系统中也有类似的影响,因此许多项目都采取了类似 SegWit 的解决方案,来确保交易的完整性和可追溯性。另一种解决方案是以太坊所采取的,以太坊对签名中的 s 做了额外的要求,要求 s 必须小于
pabtc.secp256k1.N / 2
。您可以在 Ethereum Yellow paper 的 Appendix F. Signing Transactions (p. 26) 部分找到以太坊针对交易延展性攻击的详细解决方式。有诗云:
门头交易所,用户真是多,
比特币被盗,大伙冷汗冒,
黑客改哈希,交易无踪兆,
冷钱包空空,财富随风飘。旁路攻击
我坐飞机旁边有个大哥一直在看股票,我俩聊了几句股票。他说今年行情不好,让我猜他亏了多少钱。
我说:“也就十来万吧。”
大哥一愣,问我:“你咋猜的呢?”
我说:“虽然你穿着衬衫西裤,看着很商务,但是却背了个瑞士军刀牌双肩包,大老板有背这个的么?一看你就是个跑业务的。再看你戴了块阿玛尼这种杂牌子手表,三十多岁的人了,连个劳力士都没混上,说明收入很一般。你的衬衣是旧的,但是熨得很板正,领子也干净,这都是你老婆给你收拾的。你包上有个 HelloKitty 小挂件,这应该是你女儿给你挂的。你自选股里都是一些 5G 移动芯片之类的股票,你觉得自己很懂,你应该是互联网企业上班的。方方面面综合下来,你的可支配资金也就 20-30 万,结合今年的行情,亏损 10 万左右。再看看你这个黑眼圈和与年龄不成比例的稀疏发型,压力不小。你老婆应该还不知道你股票亏了这么多钱。刚才看到你手机界面上还有炒虚拟币的软件,在最后一位,说明是最近刚刚下载的。如果你股票再亏,你就打算去炒虚拟币放手一搏,但是你只会亏得更惨。说完我点了下他手机炒股软件界面,上面显示总投入 28 万,当前亏损 10.2 万。”
大哥沉默了,一路上再也没跟我说一句话,只是偶尔低头用食指关节揉一揉微微发红的的眼眶,飞机餐的盒饭打开了,但是没吃。
上述故事来自中国互联网, 最早出现在 2015 年,由于被转载太多次,因此作者实在不明。在这个故事里,“我”就对大哥发动了一次旁路攻击。大哥虽然没有向我透露任何关于自身的投资信息,但是由于大哥的资产收益会影响大哥的穿着,因此我们可以通过大哥的穿着来反向推断大哥的资产收益。
在密码学中,所谓的旁路攻击(side-channel attacks),就是一种利用设备执行任务时产生的物理或行为信息(如执行时间、用电模式、电磁辐射等)来破解密码或签名方案的方法。对于 secp256k1 椭圆曲线和 ECDSA 签名方案,这种攻击可能通过分析关键运算的执行特性来推断私钥。
在 ECDSA 中,签名过程涉及生成一个随机数 k,然后用它来计算签名的一部分。这个随机数的安全性至关重要,如果 k 被泄漏,攻击者就能通过它恢复私钥.
例:有以下信息,请计算 secp256k1 的私钥:
-
消息
m = 0x72a963cdfb01bc37cd283106875ff1f07f02bc9ad6121b75c3d17629df128d4e
-
随机数字
k = 0x1058387903e128125f2715d7de954f53686172b78c3f919521ae4664f30b00ca
-
签名
-
r = 0x75ee776c554b1dd5e1680a4cc9a3d0e8cb11400742d8af0222ce383e642f98db
-
s = 0x35fd48c9157256558184e20c9392ff3c9517f9753e3745aede06cab285f4bc0d
答:根据 ECDSA 签名算法,容易得到私钥计算公式为
prikey = (s * k - m) / r
, 代入数字计算,得到私钥为 1。验证代码如下:
```python import pabtc
m = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x72a963cdfb01bc37cd283106875ff1f07f02bc9ad6121b75c3d17629df128d4e) k = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x1058387903e128125f2715d7de954f53686172b78c3f919521ae4664f30b00ca) r = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x75ee776c554b1dd5e1680a4cc9a3d0e8cb11400742d8af0222ce383e642f98db) s = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x35fd48c9157256558184e20c9392ff3c9517f9753e3745aede06cab285f4bc0d)
prikey = (s * k - m) / r assert prikey == pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(1) ```
随机数字 k 的计算涉及到椭圆曲线点乘和逆元操作(通常通过扩展欧几里得算法实现)。这些操作的时间可能会与 k 相关,旁路攻击者可以测量执行时间差异来提取 k。为了揭示原理,我将尝试把攻击过程简化。
例:有未知随机数字 k,现在黑客通过某种手段可探测出
g * k
的执行时间,请尝试是否可以得到随机数字 k 的一些信息。答:观察椭圆曲线上的点的乘法算法,得出当 k 的比特位不同时,会执行不同的操作。当比特位为 0 时,其计算量小于比特位为 1 时。我们事先取两个不同的 k 值,一个大多数位为 0,另一个大多数位位 1,计算它们的执行时间之差。当有新的未知 k 进行计算时,探测得到它的执行时间,与前两个值进行比对,可大致得到未知 k 其比特位为 1 的数量。实验代码如下。注意,为了简化攻击步骤,在实验代码中我们假设所有参与计算的 k 的第一个比特位始终为 1。
```python import pabtc import random import timeit
k_one = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x8000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) # Has one '1' bits k_255 = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(0x7fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff) # Has 255 '1' bits k_unknown = pabtc.secp256k1.Fr(random.randint(0, pabtc.secp256k1.N - 1) | k_one.x) # The unknown k
a = timeit.timeit(lambda: pabtc.secp256k1.G * k_one, number=1024) b = timeit.timeit(lambda: pabtc.secp256k1.G * k_255, number=1024) c = timeit.timeit(lambda: pabtc.secp256k1.G * k_unknown, number=1024)
d = (c - a) / ((b - a) / 254) print(d) ```
上述攻击过程是旁路攻击中的时间攻击(timing attacks),如果要对该攻击做防护,可以通过在代码中引入常量时间操作(constant-time operations)来避免泄露信息。例如,使用固定时间的加法和乘法,防止时间差异被利用。
在实际应用中,为了避免密码学算法中的旁路攻击,需要在算法、硬件和软件层面做出多方面的安全优化。不过由于 secp256k1 与 ECDSA 方案在设计时未充分考虑该攻击方式,因此防护此类攻击非常困难且复杂。
CKB 的方式:隔离见证 + 加密算法可升级
在交易结构上,CKB 采用了比特币的隔离见证方案,也就是交易哈希不会包含 ECDSA 签名。这种设计可以防止交易延展性攻击。详情见 RFC 的 Transaction Hash 部分。
Secp256k1 + ECDSA 方案是 CKB 的默认签名方案,但得益于 CKB 的自定义密码学原语和原生账户抽象能力,在 CKB 上可以非常容易地实现更多其它加密算法和升级现有算法。CKB 上的开发者可以选择任意信任算法来保护资产,包括但不限于:
-
RSA, Ed25519 and more
结语
总之,虽然 secp256k1 和 ECDSA 在许多应用中广泛使用,并且它们在合理的实现和正确的使用下是相当安全的,但也不能忽视它们存在的一些潜在漏洞。得益于比特币的发展,secp256k1 和 ECDSA 名声大噪的同时也吸引了更多的密码学家和不怀好意的黑客们。未来,更多关于 sepc256k1 的一些攻击方式可能会逐步被发现并利用。因此,保持警惕,及时更新以及遵循最新的安全最佳实践对于确保系统安全至关重要。随着加密领域的不断进步,目前已经有一些更加安全且高效的替代方案出现。但无论如何,理解并应对当前的风险,仍然是我们每一个开发者的责任和挑战。

2025-04-28 01:40:46ในวันที่ "วีแกนแบบ non natural" กลายเป็นเทรนด์ระดับโลก แต่การขาดวิตามิน B12 ยังคงเป็นจุดอ่อนที่ทำให้ชาวพืชล้วนหลายคนต้องหาวิธีเสริม เพื่อไม่ให้เสียหน้า Sebastian Joy ก็ได้ฤกษ์เปิดตัว "ยาสีฟันเสริมวิตามิน B12" ชิ้นแรกของโลก พร้อมงานวิจัยรองรับจาก IFANE (Institute for Alternative and Sustainable Nutrition) ว่ามันเวิร์กจริง…อย่างน้อยในห้องทดลอง
แล้วมันคืออะไร? แหล่งที่มาของวิตามิน B12 ในนั้นมาจากไหน? วิตามิน B12 ที่ใช้ในยาสีฟันนี้ เป็นสิ่งที่เรียกว่า "ไซยาโนโคบาลามิน" (Cyanocobalamin) ซึ่งเป็นรูปแบบสังเคราะห์ที่ราคาถูก ผลิตจากแบคทีเรียในห้องแล็บ ไม่ใช่ B12 ที่ได้จากอาหารธรรมชาติ เช่น ตับวัว หรือไข่ไก่แบบที่ร่างกายวิวัฒนาการมาใช้หลายแสนปี
พูดง่าย ๆ คือ มันคือ "วิตามินโรงงาน" ไม่ใช่วิตามินที่มาพร้อมสารอาหารซับซ้อนอื่น ๆ ที่ธรรมชาติใส่มาให้ (เช่น โคแฟกเตอร์ต่าง ๆ ที่ช่วยให้ดูดซึมได้ดีขึ้น) ซึ่งการใช้วิตามินสังเคราะห์ต่อเนื่องนาน ๆ มีรายงานบางชิ้นที่แอบกระซิบว่า อาจไปก่อให้เกิดอนุมูลอิสระหรือความเครียดออกซิเดชันในร่างกายได้
โดสต่อครั้งเท่าไร? ใช้แค่แปรงฟันพอจริงหรือ? ข้อมูลที่มีอยู่บอกว่า ยาสีฟันของ Sebastian ใส่วิตามิน B12 ประมาณ 100 ไมโครกรัม ต่อการแปรงฟันหนึ่งครั้ง ซึ่งหากแปรงวันละสองครั้ง ก็จะได้ราว 200 ไมโครกรัมต่อวัน ถือว่าเกินค่า RDA (ปริมาณที่แนะนำ) ที่อยู่แค่ประมาณ 2.4 ไมโครกรัม ต่อวันสำหรับผู้ใหญ่ธรรมดาไปหลายสิบเท่า! แต่…เขาก็อ้างว่าวิตามินที่แปรงลงไป มีสัดส่วนการดูดซึมจริงๆ "แค่บางส่วน" เพราะฉะนั้นการให้โดสสูงมาก จึงถือว่า "ปลอดภัย" ในมุมมองของพวกเขา
ถ้าได้รับมากเกินไป จะเกิดอะไรขึ้น? ในระยะสั้น วิตามิน B12 เป็นวิตามินละลายน้ำ ถ้าเกินความต้องการร่างกายจะขับออกทางปัสสาวะเป็นหลัก แต่ในระยะยาว งานวิจัยบางชิ้นพบความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างระดับ B12 ที่สูงผิดปกติในเลือด กับการก่อภาวะ oxidative stress ที่ทำให้เซลล์ถูกทำลายเร็วขึ้นและอย่าตัว ไซยาโนโคบาลามิน เมื่อร่างกายเอาไปแปลงเป็นแบบ active (Methylcobalamin หรือ Adenosylcobalamin) จะปล่อย "ไซยาไนด์" จิ๋วๆออกมานิดหน่อยด้วยนะ ถึงจะน้อยมากจนไม่ก่อพิษทันที แต่ถ้าเป็นคนที่มีกำจัดไซยาไนด์ได้ไม่ดี เช่น คนที่มีปัญหาเมตาบอลิซึมผิดปกติ ก็มีความเสี่ยงสะสมได้เช่นกัน
ต่างกับ B12 ที่อยู่ในเนื้อสัตว์ตามธรรมชาติ (เช่น ตับ ไข่แดง ปลาซาร์ดีน เนื้อวัว) ส่วนใหญ่เป็นในรูปแบบ Methylcobalamin และ Adenosylcobalamin อยู่แล้ว คือมาแบบ Active form พร้อมใช้ ไม่ต้องเปลี่ยนสภาพอะไรเพิ่มเติมในร่างกาย ไม่มีการปล่อย "ไซยาไนด์" เพราะไม่ต้องแปลงจากไซยาโนโคบาลามินเหมือนวิตามินสังเคราะห์ที่เอาไปใส่ในยาสีฟันหรืออาหารเสริม แต่อย่างไรก็ตาม มันก็ไม่ได้น่ากลัวอะไรขนาดนั้นครับ ไม่ใช่ประเด็นอะไรมากมาย ข้ามไปได้ถ้าไม่กังวลเพราะแค่นี้หลายคนก็จี๊ดใจหูหักกันไปเยอะแล้ว โอเคข้าม point ยิบย่อยไปครับ
ที่นำมาคุยกันก็แค่เหตุผลที่ว่า "ยาสีฟันตัวนี้ เป็นสินค้านำร่อง" ที่ผลักดันชื่อของ Sebastian Joy เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของอะไรหลายๆอย่าง ที่จะเล่าให้ในตอนต่อไปครับ
อ่อแล้วยาสีฟันนี้มีแผนบังคับใช้ในอนาคตมีไหม? ตัวยาสีฟันเองน่าจะเป็นการพูดถึงในกลุ่มวีแกนได้ดี นอกจากนี้ให้สังเกตว่า ProVeg และเครือข่ายของเขา ผลักดันแนวคิด keyword ที่ว่า "ถ้าคุณกินพืช คุณต้องเสริม B12" อย่างหนักมากและมีการเสนอว่าการผลิตอาหารจากพืชเชิงอุตสาหกรรมควร "fortify" หรือ "เสริมวิตามิน" เป็นมาตรฐาน เพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงข้อครหาว่า "อาหารพืชทำให้ขาดสารอาหาร" ตรงนี้คือจุดน่าสนใจ ในแผนระยะยาว ถ้าสังคมยอมรับแนวคิดนี้ได้ การที่สินค้าจากพืชเสริมวิตามินแบบ "บังคับ" อาจกลายเป็นเรื่องปกติ ซึ่งจะยิ่งเพิ่มอำนาจให้กลุ่มบริษัทผลิตวิตามินสังเคราะห์รายใหญ่ที่ใช้การเพาะเชื้อแบคทีเรียจำเพาะ อยู่เบื้องหลัง เป็นเศรษฐกิจแบบ "สารอาหารที่มนุษย์สร้างขึ้น" ที่เราอาจต้องออกมานั่งน้ำตาคลอริมทุ่งอีกหลายรอบ จำได้ไหมครับกระบวนการใช้การเพาะเชื้อแบคทีเรียจำเพาะ จุดต่างๆที่ผมไล่เขียนไว้ก่อนหน้านี้ เริ่มนำมาขีดเส้นเข้าหากันได้บ้างแล้ว (ใครที่งง ผมคงต้องบอกว่า งานนี้ยาวครับ ผมโพสทุก 8.00 มาร่วมเดือนแล้ว ต้องขยันย้อนแล้วหละครับ)
เพราะโลกแห่งความเป็นจริง จะ animal หรือ plant ก็ตามขอให้เป็นของธรรมชาติ และได้รับการ "เลือก" โดยผู้คนว่าจะกินอะไร ไม่ใช่การเดินสู่ช่อง "สิ้นสุดทางเลือก"
เลิกเถียงเรื่องการใช้ไดเอท แล้วมาร่วมกันมองข้างหน้าว่า คุณจะยังมีสิทธิ์เลือกอะไรได้อีกไหม ก่อนวันนั้นจะมาถึงครับ
ปล. เสริมเรื่องนี้ให้เผื่อใครจะสนใจไปค้นต่อนะครับ Cyanocobalamin เป็น B12 รูปแบบที่เสถียรที่สุดและราคาถูกที่สุดในการผลิตเชิงอุตสาหกรรม เพราะมันไม่สลายง่ายเมื่อเจอแสงหรือออกซิเจน การผลิตจะใช้การเพาะเชื้อแบคทีเรียจำเพาะ (เช่น Propionibacterium freudenreichii หรือ Pseudomonas denitrificans) ที่ผ่านการดัดแปลงพันธุกรรม หรือควบคุมสภาพการผลิตในไบโอรีแอคเตอร์ขนาดใหญ่
Cyanocobalamin จะปล่อยไซยาไนด์ประมาณ 1 โมเลกุลต่อ 1 โมเลกุล B12 ที่ถูกแปลง ซึ่งโดยปกติร่างกายดีท็อกซ์ได้ถ้าได้รับปริมาณน้อย แต่สำหรับคนที่มีภาวะการดีท็อกซ์บกพร่อง เช่น คนที่มีปัญหา MTHFR mutation หรือโรคไตเรื้อรัง อาจเป็นเรื่องที่ต้องระวัง
วิตามิน B12 จากตับวัว, ไข่, หรือปลา เช่น แซลมอน จะมาในฟอร์ม active อยู่แล้ว เช่น Methylcobalamin หรือ Adenosylcobalamin ไม่ต้องเสียพลังงานหรือเสี่ยงปล่อยไซยาไนด์ #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

2025-04-28 00:48:57I have been recently building NFDB, a new relay DB. This post is meant as a short overview.
Regular relays have challenges
Current relay software have significant challenges, which I have experienced when hosting Nostr.land: - Scalability is only supported by adding full replicas, which does not scale to large relays. - Most relays use slow databases and are not optimized for large scale usage. - Search is near-impossible to implement on standard relays. - Privacy features such as NIP-42 are lacking. - Regular DB maintenance tasks on normal relays require extended downtime. - Fault-tolerance is implemented, if any, using a load balancer, which is limited. - Personalization and advanced filtering is not possible. - Local caching is not supported.
NFDB: A scalable database for large relays
NFDB is a new database meant for medium-large scale relays, built on FoundationDB that provides: - Near-unlimited scalability - Extended fault tolerance - Instant loading - Better search - Better personalization - and more.
Search
NFDB has extended search capabilities including: - Semantic search: Search for meaning, not words. - Interest-based search: Highlight content you care about. - Multi-faceted queries: Easily filter by topic, author group, keywords, and more at the same time. - Wide support for event kinds, including users, articles, etc.
Personalization
NFDB allows significant personalization: - Customized algorithms: Be your own algorithm. - Spam filtering: Filter content to your WoT, and use advanced spam filters. - Topic mutes: Mute topics, not keywords. - Media filtering: With Nostr.build, you will be able to filter NSFW and other content - Low data mode: Block notes that use high amounts of cellular data. - and more
Other
NFDB has support for many other features such as: - NIP-42: Protect your privacy with private drafts and DMs - Microrelays: Easily deploy your own personal microrelay - Containers: Dedicated, fast storage for discoverability events such as relay lists
Calcite: A local microrelay database
Calcite is a lightweight, local version of NFDB that is meant for microrelays and caching, meant for thousands of personal microrelays.
Calcite HA is an additional layer that allows live migration and relay failover in under 30 seconds, providing higher availability compared to current relays with greater simplicity. Calcite HA is enabled in all Calcite deployments.
For zero-downtime, NFDB is recommended.
Noswhere SmartCache
Relays are fixed in one location, but users can be anywhere.
Noswhere SmartCache is a CDN for relays that dynamically caches data on edge servers closest to you, allowing: - Multiple regions around the world - Improved throughput and performance - Faster loading times
routerd
routerd
is a custom load-balancer optimized for Nostr relays, integrated with SmartCache.routerd
is specifically integrated with NFDB and Calcite HA to provide fast failover and high performance.Ending notes
NFDB is planned to be deployed to Nostr.land in the coming weeks.
A lot more is to come. 👀️️️️️️

2025-04-27 05:37:41"นมดีจริง หรือแค่เรากลัว?" นม = อาหารของสัตว์ในวัยทารก จริงๆประโยคเดียว ก็น่าจะเข้าใจนะครับว่าทำไม ผมไม่ตอบเม้นท์เลย ว่าถ้างั้นเราดื่มนมอะไรดี
ในวันที่นมยึดครองชั้นวางห้าง นมวัว นมแพะ นมอัลมอนด์ นมโอ๊ต นมข้าว นมพิสตาชิโอ วางตัวสวยๆ พร้อมข้อความชวนฝันว่า "ดีต่อใจ" "เพื่อสุขภาพ" คนก็แห่กันถามว่า นมอะไรดีที่สุด ดื่มนมอันไหนแล้วสุขภาพดี กินนมแล้วจะได้ไม่ขาดสารอาหาร
แต่...ลองหยุดถาม แล้วตั้งใจฟังตัวเองสักนิดว่า จริงๆ แล้ว นมดีกว่า real food อย่างไข่ หรือเนื้อสัตว์ ตรงไหน?
ตอนเด็ก เราถูกสอนว่า ดื่มนม = แข็งแรง ตอนโต เราถูกล่อด้วยโฆษณาว่า นมพืช = สุขภาพดี ยั่งยืน รักษ์โลก เราถูกปลูกฝังจนแทบไม่เคยสงสัยเลยว่า นม มันดียังไงกันแน่?
เราลองมาเปิดหน้ากาก "นม" ทีละชั้นกันครับ นมวัว : มีโปรตีนกับไขมันอยู่บ้าง แต่ก็มีน้ำตาลแลคโตสที่คนส่วนใหญ่ย่อยไม่ดี นมพืช : โปรตีนต่ำจนน่าใจหาย วิตามินแร่ธาตุก็ใส่สังเคราะห์เอาทีหลังทั้งนั้น
"นม" ไม่ว่าจะวัว แพะ หรือพืช ความจริงที่เราไม่ค่อยอยากมอง คือ นมเป็นอาหารที่อ่อนด้อยเรื่องสารอาหารอย่างสิ้นเชิง โปรตีนในนมพืช ต่ำเตี้ยเรี่ยดินเมื่อเทียบกับแค่ ไข่ นมวัวมีแก้วละ 6กรัม นมโอ้ตมีแก้วละ 3กรัม ในขณะที่ไข่เพียง 1ฟอง มีโปรตีน 6-7กรัม หรือจะเอาแคลเซียม ที่อ้างกันนัก นมแก้วนึง(200ml) มีแคลเซียม 123mg ในขณะที่ไข่แค่4ฟอง มีไปแล้ว 100mg ส่วนใครยังกลัวไข่เพราะมีคอเลสเตอรอล คุณปิดโพสได้เลย คุณเชยไปแล้วครับเขา move on เรื่องไข่กันไปนานแล้ว รบกวนหาข้อมูล แถมแคลเซียมที่กินไป ถ้าไม่ทำ xxxxx xxxx รู้ไหมว่ามันจะไปสะสมที่หลอดเลือด นี่ละตัวตันเลย ไม่ใช่คอเลสเตอรอล ส่วน xx นั้นถ้ายังไม่รู้ว่ามีอะไรบ้างที่ต้องทำเพื่อจัดการแคลเซียม ก็ยิ้มให้กับตัวเองเลยครับ ดื่มนมเพราะแคลเซียมนี่เนอะ 55555
นอกจากนี้ นมทุกชนิดยังเต็มไปด้วย "คาร์บ" แบบต่างๆ ทั้งน้ำตาลแลคโตสในนมวัว และแป้งเชิงซ้อนในนมพืช ส่วนตัวไหนคาร์บต่ำ ทุกอย่างก็ต่ำไปหมด เทียบเป็น น้ำเปล่าขุ่นๆ ราคาแพง
บางคนบอกว่า "นมพืชดี๊ดี กินแล้วน้ำตาลในเลือดไม่พุ่งเลยนะ" ฟังดูเหมือนดีนะ แต่...แค่ตัวเลขน้ำตาลในเลือดเฉียบพลันไม่กระโดด
จะบอกว่านั่นไม่ได้แปลว่าร่างกายปลอดภัยจริงๆ นะแค่ค่าน้ำตาลในเลือดมันเป็นแค่จุุดพอสังเกต เพราะสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นหลังจากเราดื่มนมพืช โดยเฉพาะนมโอ๊ต คือ คาร์บแฝงที่จะค่อยๆ แตกตัวระหว่างการย่อย ร่างกายอาจจะไม่ช็อคน้ำตาลทันที แต่จะ กระตุ้นอินซูลิน ให้ทำงานหนักขึ้นแบบเนียนๆ อินซูลินสูงเรื้อรังโดยที่ไม่รู้ตัว เป็นเส้นทางลัดไปสู่ไขมันสะสม การอักเสบ และเบาหวานชนิดที่ 2 ในระยะยาว
ภัยเงียบที่น่ากลัวที่สุดของนมโอ๊ต จึงไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องน้ำตาล แต่คือ "ภาวะอินซูลินสูงแบบไร้อาการ" (Silent Hyperinsulinemia) เป็นอาการอินซูลินมันพุ่งสูง แบบที่ตรวจเฉพาะน้ำตาลจะไม่เห็น ต้องเจาะเฉพาะระดับอินซูลิน (Insulin test) ถึงจะรู้ บั่นทอนสุขภาพทีละน้อย เหมือนเชื้อไฟใต้เถ้า ที่รอวันระเบิดเป็นโรคเรื้อรังในอีก 10 ปีข้างหน้า
แล้วทำไมเราถึงศรัทธา "นม" จนหมดใจ? คำตอบคือ..."สงคราม"
Fiat system เก่งมากนะครับที่ไม่ได้แค่พิมพ์นมขึ้นมาจากอุตสาหกรรมเหลือทิ้ง หลังสงครามโลก แต่ยังพิมพ์ "ความกลัว" ลงในใจพวกเราว่า "ถ้าไม่ดื่มนม คุณจะไม่แข็งแรง"
หลังสงครามโลกครั้งที่ 2 อเมริกามีนมล้นตลาดจากโครงการป้อนเสบียงกองทัพ เมื่อสงครามยุติ นมจึงเหลือกองมหึมา ถ้าไม่หาทางระบาย ก็ขาดทุนยับเยิน รัฐจึงออก โครงการนมโรงเรียน บังคับให้เด็กในโรงเรียนต้องดื่มนมวันละแก้วทั่วประเทศ พร้อมเทงบสนับสนุนงานวิจัยที่บอกว่า "นมดีต่อกระดูก ดีต่อสุขภาพ" แต่จริงๆ งานวิจัยเหล่านั้นหลายชิ้น ก็เต็มไปด้วย bias และ เงินทุนจากอุตสาหกรรมนม นั่นเอง
"เราไม่ได้เลือกนมด้วยความเข้าใจ เราแค่เกิดมาในยุคที่นมล้นตลาด" เริ่มต้นจากเด็กในโรงเรียน ถูกเลี้ยง ถูกล้างสมอง จนคิดว่านมคือสัญลักษณ์ของการดูแลตัวเองที่ดี
เวลาผ่านไป โลกเปลี่ยน เด็กโตขึ้นมา เริ่มแพ้นมวัวกันเยอะขึ้น คนก็หันมาหาทางเลือกใหม่...นมพืช
แต่ระบบ Fiat Food ก็ยังทำงานแบบเดิม ผลิตนมพืชจากพืชเหลือทิ้งราคาถูก เช่น ข้าวโอ๊ต เสริมวิตามินแต่งหน้าตา ทำโฆษณาน่ารักๆ ว่า รักษ์โลก ใส่ใจสุขภาพ ดื่มแล้วเป็นทางเลือกของคนฉลาด ทางออกของคนย่อยแลคโตสไม่ได้
จากนั้นบุกเข้าโรงเรียนอีกครั้ง เสนอ "นมโอ๊ตโรงเรียน" แทนนมวัว ครอบเจนฯใหม่ทั้งกระบิทีเดียวเลย ใช้วิจัยใหม่ที่ เน้นเฉพาะข้อมูลด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมหรือ sustainability สร้างความเป็นผู้มีความรู้ในความเป็นคนรักโลก แต่หลีกเลี่ยงไม่พูดถึงสารอาหารจริงๆ
แล้วเด็กๆ ก็กำลังถูกปลูกฝังรอบใหม่อีกครั้ง...ว่า นมโอ๊ต = ทางเลือกสุขภาพ ติดสมองไปอีกหลายเจนฯ ทั้งที่...
นมโอ๊ตอุดมไปด้วยคาร์โบไฮเดรตแตกตัวง่าย ที่ทำให้อินซูลินพุ่งเรื้อรังแบบไร้สัญญาณเตือน โปรตีนต่ำจนไร้ความหมายในแง่สร้างกล้ามเนื้อหรือภูมิคุ้มกัน วิตามินแร่ธาตุที่เติมแต่ง เป็นสารสังเคราะห์ที่ดูดซึมได้ยากกว่าวิตามินจาก real food หลายเท่า
โลกหมุนเร็วขึ้น แต่ Fiat Food ยังวนลูปที่เดิม เปลี่ยนชื่อ เปลี่ยนฉลาก แต่ยังคง "ขายของเหลือ" ผ่านการล้างสมองทางโภชนาการอย่างแนบเนียน ในวันที่โอ้ตล้นโลกจน USDA ต้องหาทางออกให้ มิเช่นนั้นจะต้องเป็นฝ่ายดึงภาษีมาโอบอุ้มเสียเอง
ดังนั้น นมสัตว์ นมพืช ไม่ได้ต่างกันในด้านการครอบความคิด จะต่างกันแค่ผลทางการทำร้ายสุขภาพแบบเงียบๆระยะยาว โปรดเข้าใจประเด็นว่าไม่ใช่จะว่านมโอ้ตแล้วชูนมวัว
ไทม์ไลน์ย่อ "จากนมวัวล้นตลาด สู่แผนบุกนมโอ๊ตโรงเรียน" 1940s (WWII): อเมริกาขยายอุตสาหกรรมนมเพื่อเลี้ยงกองทัพ 1945: สงครามจบ นมล้นตลาด ต้องระบาย 1950: เปิด "โครงการนมโรงเรียน" (School Milk Program) บังคับเด็กดื่มนม พร้อมอุดหนุนฟาร์มนมอย่างลับๆ 1950s-1970s: ใช้งบวิจัยหนุนว่า "นมดีต่อสุขภาพ" ทั่วสหรัฐฯ และโลกตะวันตก 1980s: ปัญหาแพ้นม (Lactose Intolerance) โผล่มากขึ้น แต่โครงการยังเดินหน้าต่อ 2010s: กระแสนมพืชมาแรง ผู้คนตื่นตัวเรื่องแพ้แลคโตส และสิ่งแวดล้อม 2020s: อุตสาหกรรมนมพืชเร่งบุกโรงเรียน เสนอ "นมโอ๊ตโรงเรียน" เพื่อปลูกฝังตั้งแต่เล็กๆ ผ่านโฆษณา "ทางเลือกเพื่อโลก" (ซึ่งซ้ำรอยวิธีเดียวกับที่เคยผลักดันนมวัวเมื่อ 70 ปีก่อนแทบทุกประการ)
สุดท้าย ถามตัวเองอีกครั้ง... นมที่เราดื่มทุกเช้า มาจากความต้องการของร่างกาย หรือมาจากการตลาดที่ชนะสงครามไปตั้งแต่เรายังไม่เกิด?
เราดื่มนมไปทำไมวะ?????
เลือกเองอย่างเข้าใจธรรมชาติ แล้วคุณจะไม่ต้องตื่นขึ้นมาไล่ตามนมอีกเลย วันหยุดนี้ เข้าซุปเปอร์มาร์เกต แล้วดูฉลากโภชนาการกันสิ ว่าได้อะไรจากการดื่มนม
ถามว่าอ่านถึงตรงนี้ ผมเกลียดนมไหม บ้า ใครจะไปเกลียดนม เหตุผลเดียวเลยที่ผมยกให้นมคือ "อร่อย" นมอร่อย ไอติมอร่อย ลาเต้ดีงาม แต่มันคือความอร่อยที่ให้สารอาหารนิดหน่อย ผมไม่ได้เกลียดนม แต่ผมก็ไม่ได้บอกว่าเรา "ต้อง" จะเป็นจะตายเพื่อหานมมาดื่ม ไม่ต้องไปทุรนทุรายว่า เห้ย ทำไมฉันไม่ได้ดื่มนมนะ OMG ชั้นจะป่วยแน่ๆ ชั้นจะไม่แข็งแรงแน่ๆ
ผมเกลียด fiat ที่ครอบหัวคนมากี่รุ่นว่า ถ้าไม่ดื่มนม จะไม่แข็งแรง get มะ 5555
แต่ผมไมได้บอกว่าผมถูกนะ ใครมีเหตุผลที่สนับสนุนว่าเรา "ต้อง" ดื่มนมแบบ “เด็ดขาด” “ห้ามขาดการดื่มนม” มาแชร์กัน ผมยินดีเรียนรู้นะ แต่ประเภทว่า ดื่มแล้วไม่เห็นเป็นไร สะดวกดีบางทีกินง่าย น้องดื่มแล้วตัวสูง ฉันดื่มแล้วตัวสูง อะไรพวกนี้ไม่เอานะ มัน emotion

2025-04-27 03:00:40แดดกับ Infradian Rhythm จังหวะลึกล้ำของชีวิตที่ธรรมชาติกำหนด เวลาเราพูดถึง "วงจรชีวิต" คนส่วนใหญ่จะนึกถึงแค่การนอนตื่นตามรอบวัน หรือ circadian rhythm ที่พระอาทิตย์ขึ้นแล้วเราตื่น พระอาทิตย์ตกแล้วเราง่วง แต่จริง ๆ แล้วร่างกายมนุษย์นั้นลึกซึ้งกว่านั้นมากครับ เพราะนอกจาก circadian rhythm แล้วเรายังมีจังหวะชีวภาพอีกชนิดนึงที่ชื่อว่า "Infradian Rhythm" ซึ่งไม่ได้เดินเป็นรอบวัน แต่เป็นรอบที่ยาวกว่านั้น อาจเป็นรอบสัปดาห์ หรือแม้แต่รอบเดือน และหนึ่งในตัวตั้งจังหวะชั้นดีนี้ที่ใครหลายคนมองข้าม ก็คือ "แดด" นั่นเองครับ
Infradian Rhythm คืออะไร? คำว่า Infradian มาจากรากศัพท์ละติน "infra" ที่แปลว่า "ต่ำกว่า" หรือ "ยาวกว่า" และ "diem" ที่แปลว่า "วัน" เพราะฉะนั้น Infradian จึงหมายถึงวงจรชีวภาพที่นานกว่าหนึ่งวัน เช่น - วัฏจักรรอบเดือนของผู้หญิง (ประมาณ 28 วัน) - จังหวะของระบบภูมิคุ้มกัน (ที่มีกลไกการตอบสนองขึ้นลงตามรอบ) - วัฏจักรการหลั่งฮอร์โมน เช่น testosterone ในผู้ชาย ที่ขึ้นลงเป็นรายสัปดาห์ - จังหวะของอารมณ์หรือพลังชีวิต ที่มี pattern ประจำสัปดาห์หรือเดือน
วงจรเหล่านี้ไม่ได้ใช้แค่เวลาบอกจังหวะ แต่ต้องการสิ่งกระตุ้น (zeitgeber) จากธรรมชาติ เช่น แสง เสียง อุณหภูมิ และโดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง แสงแดด ผมลองรวบรวมสรุปเป็นหมวดๆให้เพื่อเห็นภาพรวมง่ายขึ้นนะครับ
หมวดที่ 1 แดดกับ Infradian Rhythm ของผู้หญิง สำหรับผู้หญิง แดดมีบทบาทโดยตรงกับรอบเดือนผ่านหลายกลไก เช่น 1.1 แสงแดดกับวิตามิน D วิตามิน D ที่สร้างจากแสง UVB มีผลต่อการควบคุมระดับฮอร์โมนเพศหญิง เช่น estrogen และ progesterone หากขาดแดด วงจรฮอร์โมนอาจรวน ทำให้มีอาการ PMS หนัก อารมณ์แกว่ง หรือรอบเดือนมาไม่ปกติ 1.2 แดดกับการหลั่ง melatonin แสงแดดยามเช้าช่วยหยุดการผลิต melatonin และเปิดการผลิต cortisol อย่างสมดุล ซึ่งเป็นกลไกสำคัญที่ควบคุมการสร้าง LH และ FSH (ฮอร์โมนที่ควบคุมการตกไข่) 1.3 Infrared light กับไมโทคอนเดรีย แดดบ่ายที่มีรังสีอินฟราเรดช่วยกระตุ้นพลังงานในระดับเซลล์ ซึ่งส่งผลต่อการซ่อมแซมและปรับสมดุลฮอร์โมนระยะยาว
หมวดที่ 2 แดดกับ Infradian Rhythm ของผู้ชาย แม้ผู้ชายจะไม่มีรอบเดือน แต่ก็มี Infradian เช่นกัน โดยเฉพาะในระบบฮอร์โมนและอารมณ์ครับ 2.1 Testosterone fluctuation แสงแดดช่วยกระตุ้นการหลั่ง testosterone โดยเฉพาะแสงแดดที่สัมผัสผิวหนังและดวงตา การได้รับแดดสม่ำเสมอช่วยให้ร่างกายเข้าสู่วงจรการผลิตฮอร์โมนที่เหมาะสม และไม่เหวี่ยงมาก 2.2 แดดกับการนอน แสงแดดยามเช้ารีเซ็ตวงจรการนอน ทำให้ testosterone หลั่งดีขึ้นในช่วงเช้ามืด (ซึ่งเป็นเวลาที่ร่างกายผลิตฮอร์โมนนี้มากที่สุด) 2.3 แดดกับการซ่อมแซมกล้ามเนื้อ รังสี Infrared และ Red light จากแดดบ่ายช่วยให้ไมโทคอนเดรียในกล้ามเนื้อทำงานดีขึ้น ซึ่งสอดคล้องกับรอบการฟื้นฟูแบบ Infradian ของกล้ามเนื้อหลังออกกำลังกาย
หมวดที่ 3 แดดกับ Infradian Rhythm ในผู้สูงอายุ เมื่ออายุมากขึ้น ร่างกายมักจะสูญเสียจังหวะธรรมชาติไปทีละน้อย ในหมวดนี้เลยแสดงถึงความสัมพันธ์ตามวัยครับ 3.1 ฮอร์โมนลดลง การตอบสนองต่อแสงก็ลดลง ผู้สูงวัยมักผลิต melatonin ลดลง ทำให้นอนไม่ลึกและส่งผลต่อระบบภูมิคุ้มกันที่มีจังหวะ Infradian 3.2 แสงแดดช่วยชะลอการเสื่อม งานวิจัยหลายชิ้นพบว่าแดดช่วยชะลอความเสื่อมของจังหวะชีวภาพในสมอง โดยช่วยลดภาวะซึมเศร้าและชะลอการเสื่อมของสมอง (เช่น Alzheimer) 3.3 ไนตริกออกไซด์ (NO) รังสี UVA จากแดดกระตุ้นการปล่อย NO จากผิวหนัง ซึ่งช่วยเรื่องความดันโลหิตและการไหลเวียนเลือดแบบรอบสัปดาห์ ส่งผลดีต่อหัวใจในระยะยาว
ดังนั้นเมื่อเอาทั้งหมดมาขมวดรวมกันจะพบว่า กลไกสำคัญที่แดดกระทบกับ Infradian Rhythm มีภาพร่างดังนี้ครับ 1.Vitamin D จาก UVB ช่วยสร้างสมดุลฮอร์โมน, สนับสนุนภูมิคุ้มกัน 2.Nitric Oxide (NO) จาก UVA ช่วยขยายหลอดเลือด, ลดการอักเสบเรื้อรัง 3.Melatonin และ Cortisol แดดยามเช้าควบคุมการตื่นและการนอนอย่างมีจังหวะ 4.Infrared Light ช่วงแดดบ่ายแก่ ช่วยซ่อมแซมเซลล์, สนับสนุนการฟื้นตัว 5.Circannual และ Infradian Crosslink แสงแดดฤดูต่าง ๆ (ที่มีช่วงคลื่นต่างกัน) ส่งผลให้จังหวะรอบเดือนและภูมิคุ้มกันเปลี่ยนไปตามฤดูกาล
ซึ่งถ้าอ่านแล้วบางอย่างดูยังสับสนว่าเอ๊ะมันควรจะเป็น circadian rhythm ไม่ใช่เหรอ เช่น การนอน คือมันสามารถอธิบายได้สั้นๆว่า มันมีการทับซ้อนกันครับ ที่เราแยกเป็นเรื่องนี้มาพูดคุยกันเพราะมันมีความสัมพันธ์กันอยู่ อย่างที่คุยกันเสมอๆว่า ร่างกายต้องมองเป็น spectrum ไม่ใช่ binary คอมพิวเตอร์ 011001
โดยตรงแล้ว Sleep–Wake Cycle เราคุมกันที่ Circadian กับ Homeostatic Drive มากกว่า แต่ Infradian ก็อาจส่งผลทางอ้อมผ่านทาง ฮอร์โมนเอสโตรเจนและโปรเจสเตอโรนขึ้น–ลงตามรอบเดือน ส่งผลต่อคุณภาพการนอน เช่น ช่วงใกล้มีประจำเดือนอาจนอนหลับไม่ลึก หรือช่วงวัยทอง (perimenopause) ที่ Infradian เริ่มเปลี่ยนฮอร์โมน จะมีอาการร้อนวูบวาบ ตื่นกลางดึกบ่อยขึ้น หรือแม้แต่ อาการซึมเศร้าตามฤดูกาล (Infradian รายปี) มักเกิดฤดูหนาว ซึ่งแสงน้อย ทำให้ Circadian ฟั่นเฟือนไปด้วย ทำให้นอนมากขึ้นหรือนอนไม่หลับตามฤดู แม้กระทั่งสัมพันธ์ทางพฤติกรรม งานวิจัยบางชิ้นชี้ว่ามนุษย์อาจมีแนวโน้มอยากนอนเพิ่มขึ้นในช่วงปลายสัปดาห์ (weekend catch-up sleep) ซึ่งเป็น Infradian รายสัปดาห์ที่เกิดจากพฤติกรรมสังคมและสะสม Homeostatic Drive
ทีนี้พอจะเข้าใจแล้วใช่ไหมครับว่า ทำไมเราควรเลิกถามเสียทีว่า "ตากแดดเวลาไหนดีที่สุด", "ตากแดดนานแค่ไหนดีที่สุด" จะให้ตอบยังไง? มันแงะออกมาไม่ได้ครับ เราอย่ายึดติดกับการสรุป สรุป สรุป สรุปสิว่าตกลงต้องยังไง การเสพโซเชียลทำให้เราเคยชินกับความฉาบฉวย คัดย่อ จนหลงลืมรายละเอียดว่า โลกแห่งชีวะคือความสัมพันธ์ พารายังไม่ได้แค่แก้ปวดเลย จะนับอะไรกับแดด
คำตอบที่ดีที่สุดผมคิดว่ามันคือ "เลิกถามจุ๊กจิ๊ก แล้วหัดออกไปตากให้ได้ก่อน เปิดตา เปิดหู ปิดปาก" จากนั้นค่อยเอาข้อสงสัยจากการตาก ข้อสงสัยจากการอ่าน มาประมวลผลเองก่อนว่า มีอะไรที่สามารถตอบกันได้บ้างไหม
อย่างที่เราเคยเปรียบเปรยกันครับ แดดไม่ใช่แค่แสง แต่คือผู้อำนวยเพลงที่ประสานเสียงร่างกายทุกจังหวะ ในขณะที่ไฟฟ้าทำให้เราลืมจังหวะธรรมชาติ แดดยังอยู่ตรงนั้น คอยเคาะจังหวะอย่างอดทน รอให้เรากลับมาได้ยินเสียงของตัวเองอีกครั้งหนึ่ง ไม่ใช่แค่เสียงในวันนี้ แต่คือเสียงของชีวิตในรอบเดือน หน้า และปีต่อไป
แดด…ไม่เคยหายไปจากเราเลย มีแต่เราที่ห่างหายไปจากแดดเสียเอง
ตากไปก่อนเหอะ แล้วค่อยถาม "บ่อยเท่าที่ได้ นานเท่าที่ไหว"
ส่วนใครอ่านบทนี้แล้วงง ไม่ต้องเครียดครับ บทต่อๆไปจะค่อยๆมาคลีคลายให้ ทีละนิด #pirateketo #SundaySpecialเราจะไปเป็นหมูแดดเดียว #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

2025-04-27 01:03:15This LA Times story, from their archives, is not paywalled:
WASHINGTON — The chief of China’s military intelligence secretly directed funds from Beijing to help re-elect President Clinton in 1996, former Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung has told federal investigators.
According to sources familiar with Chung’s sealed statements to federal prosecutors, Chung says he met three times with the intelligence official, General Ji Shengde, who ordered $300,000 deposited into the Torrance businessman’s bank account to subsidize campaign donations intended for Clinton,
Never forget blatant, destructive, disloyalty to the USA.
It's not an accident that the Clinton donation from China happened in (Freemason controlled) Los Angeles, where China has a massive presence to this day. Take a drive on San Gabriel Blvd and see for yourself.
According to law enforcement and other sources, key aspects of Chung’s testimony, which has not been made public, have been corroborated by financial records in the United States and Hong Kong.
+++++++++++ Chung, 44, a Taiwan-born American citizen who lives in Artesia, Calif., was one of the most prominent figures in the 1996 campaign finance scandal. He contributed more than $400,000 to various Democratic campaigns and causes, visited the White House no fewer than 50 times and brought numerous Chinese associates to events with the president and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.
As you might expect, it is illegal for U.S. political parties or candidates to accept contributions from foreign sources.
Only a portion of the $300,000 made it into Democratic campaign coffers, records show.
A spokesman for China’s embassy in Washington denied any involvement in the 1996 elections.

2025-04-27 00:35:38I work in the business world as a salesperson. I am frequently out and about in the community trying to make friends, connect with people who I can help, and ultimately grow my book of business. I have goals set by my employers and I aim to meet those expectations. Because of this, I find myself frequently under pressure to find ways to produce. This often leads to me being disappointed in myself; my sales cycles are long and I lose more deals than I win. My Dad often reminds me that How to Win Friends and Influence People has all the secrets of sales I'll ever need, but I still end up wishing I could find that secret edge to out-do the competition. That's where the watch temptation comes in.
I frequently see a luxurious timepiece on the left wrist of my peers and elder-statesmen closers. Rolex, Omega, Patek, a whole world of $10k minimum machines. It comes across as a power-move, a symbol of status that is hard to ignore. It sends a message that the bearer's time is more valuable than that of other people. It makes me think "if this person is wearing that watch, that means they're great at what they do." The ultimate investment in one's self.
As a newly married man expecting a child, it is hard for me to stomach such a purchase. My wife has supported the idea of me potentially getting such a timepiece; as much as it tickles my fancy, I'd rather put my capital towards things that further my family than my clout. One of the things that struck me was a statement made by an investment advisor in my Kiwanis club: "A watch is a purchase, not an investment."
What a true statement! His words helped me escape my short-lived delusions. That said, I still look at watches sometimes on the internet (The Omega No Time to Die watch is sleek looking). One day, I found myself looking at houses online shortly after looking at watches online. Then it hit me: how many purchases are being marketed as investments in this era? A Rolex is a supposed investment in your career, not just a luxury timepiece. A house is a mechanism for monetary growth, not an attainable home to be enjoyed by a family. A college degree is an investment for your future, not a vehicle for building upon passions.
The Bitcoiners will repeat the phrase "fix the money, fix the world" in harmonious chorus to address the concern I have laid out in this article. Ultimately, I leave you with this reminder: don't let the world pass off things that should be inconsequential purchases as investments with ROIs. I believe the only true investment one can make is into the people around them; that will yield the greatest rewards for the soul.

2025-04-26 19:34:18Sometimes it feels like everything we do is invisible. The late nights, the sacrifices, the silent battles — all of it seems to go unnoticed. And there comes a moment when quitting feels easier than holding on.
But let me remind you: You’re closer than you think.
Growth is quiet. Success doesn't announce itself as it's happening. Healing happens in the dark before it shines in the light.
Every effort you made when no one was clapping... Every time you showed up when you felt like disappearing... Every "small" step you took — those were not small at all.
They were giant leaps that your future self will thank you for.
Remember:
Diamonds form under pressure.
Seeds grow underground before breaking the surface.
Stars shine brightest in the darkest skies.
So don’t you dare give up now. Your breakthrough might not come with fireworks — it might come quietly, softly, almost without you noticing at first. But it is coming.
Stay patient. Stay kind to yourself. Keep moving — even if it’s slow. Because you’re already closer than you think.

2025-04-26 18:54:09Explain Bitcoin Like I’m Five
@nik5ter uses a simple “apple” analogy to show why digital transfers are tricky: while handing a physical apple directly to someone proves they have it,so no single party can alter balances or create extra coins without the network noticing. Participants (“miners”) validate and record transactions in return for newly issued bitcoins,ensuring scarcity and enabling peer-to-peer exchanges that feel as secure as handing over a physical object, but work instantly across the globe.

2025-04-26 16:11:41Imagine starting from pure noise — meaningless static, with maximum entropy — and evolving into a rich, beautiful, self-aware universe.
That's the story Tom Campbell tells in My Big TOE (Theory of Everything), and it reshapes how we see everything — from consciousness itself, to taxes, to our dream of a better world.
Reality: The Original AI Image Generator
Reality began much like how AI draws images today:
- It started with randomness, pure chaos (high entropy).
- Over time, tiny stable patterns formed.
- Consciousness emerged — a spark of awareness inside the noise.
- It realized it could lower entropy (create order, meaning, structure) to survive and evolve.Thus, the Larger Consciousness System (LCS) was born:
A living, evolving digital brain, constantly refining information into experience and awareness.
What Are We?
We are Individuated Units of Consciousness (IUOCs) — little chunks of the LCS, each with: - Free will - The ability to learn through experience - The mission to lower entropy (become wiser, more loving)
Our world — the physical universe — is just a Virtual Reality (VR) created to speed up our growth.
The Big Cheese and the Cosmic Hierarchy
In this grand system: - The LCS is the ultimate top — no gods above it, just itself. - The Big Cheeses are highly evolved administrators — managing realities, maintaining stability. - Guides and helpers assist us individually. - We, the IUOCs, are the players in the simulation — learning, stumbling, evolving.
The system isn’t designed to be easy.
It’s meant to challenge you — because real growth happens in hardship.
Why Do We Pay Taxes, Then?
Because Earth’s VR operates on scarcity, power struggles, and cooperation challenges.
Taxes are a tool to manage shared resources — but imperfectly, because human consciousness is still messy and selfish.The point isn't taxes themselves.
The point is the ethical choices you make in a difficult environment.
This world is a training ground — and unfair systems like taxes are part of the curriculum.
A Better World Is Possible
If humanity collectively lowered its entropy: - Taxes would barely exist. - Cooperation would be voluntary and joyful. - Leadership would be service, not control. - Resources would be shared wisely. - Technology and kindness would make scarcity almost irrelevant.
In such a world, people give freely because they see clearly — helping others is helping themselves.
The real revolution?
It’s not political.It’s consciousness evolving.
Final Thought
You are not a trapped soul paying taxes to a broken system.
You are a pioneer of consciousness, refining the noise into meaning,
the chaos into beauty,
the selfishness into love.Every small choice you make matters.
You’re already part of building the next world — one conscious step at a time.

2025-04-26 15:36:42The story-telling method from Frank Daniel school - "Eight-sequence structure" is well utilized in this new movie in #prime - "Veera Dheera Sooran - Part 2". The name itself is kind of suspense. Because even if the name says "Part 2", this is the first part released in this story.
There are 8 shorter plots which has their own mini climaxes. The setup done in a plot will be resolved in another plot. In total, there will be 8 setups, 8 conflicts and 8 resolutions.
A beautiful way of telling a gripping story. For cinephiles in #Nostr, if you want to get a feel of the South Indian movies that has kind of a perfect blend of good content + a bit of over the top action, I would suggest this movie.
Note: For Nostriches from the western hemisphere- #Bollywood - (#Hindi movies) is the movie industry started in #Bombay (#Mumbai), that has the stereotypical 'la la la' rain dance songs and mustache-less heroes. #Telugu movies (#Tollywood) are mostly over-the-top action where Newton and Einstein will probably commit suicide. #Malayalam movies (#Mollywood) is made with a miniscule budget with minimal over-the-top action and mostly content oriented movies. And then comes one of the best - #Tamil movies (#Kollywood - named after #Kodambakkam - a movie town in the city of Chennai down south), has the best of all the industries. A good blend of class, and mass elements.

2025-04-26 15:05:41Background
Last year I got interesting in running my own bitcoin node after reading others' experiences doing so. A couple of decades ago I ran my own Linux and Mac servers, and enjoyed building and maintaining them. I was by no means an expert sys admin, but had my share of cron jobs, scripts, and custom configuration files. While it was fun and educational, software updates and hardware upgrades often meant hours of restoring and troubleshooting my systems.
Fast forward to family and career (especially going into management) and I didn't have time for all that. Having things just work became more important than playing with the tech. As I got older, the more I appreciated K.I.S.S. (for those who don't know: Keep It Simple Stupid).
So when the idea of running a node came to mind, I explored the different options. I decided I needed a balance between a Raspberry Pi (possibly underpowered depending on use) and a full-blown Linux server (too complex and time-consuming to build and maintain). That led me to Umbrel OS, Start9, Casa OS, and similar platforms. Due to its simplicity (very plug and play), nice design, and being open source: GitHub), I chose Umbrel OS on a Beelink mini PC with 16GB of RAM and a 2TB NVMe internal drive. Though Umbrel OS is not very flexible and can't really be customized, its App Store made setting up a node (among other things) fairly easy, and it has been running smoothly since. Would the alternatives have been better? Perhaps, but so far I'm happy with my choice.
Server Setup
I'm also no expert in OpSec (I'd place myself in the category of somewhat above vague awareness). I wanted a secure way to connect to my Umbrel without punching holes in my router and forwarding ports. I chose Tailscale for this purpose. Those who are distrustful of corporate products might not like this option but again, balancing risk with convenience it seemed reasonable for my needs. If you're hiding state (or anti-state) secrets, extravagant wealth, or just adamant about privacy, you would probably want to go with an entirely different setup.
Once I had Tailscale installed on Umbrel OS, my mobile device and laptop, I could securely connect to the server from anywhere through a well designed browser UI. I then installed the following from the Umbrel App Store:
- Bitcoin Core
- Electrum Personal Server (Electrs)
At this point I could set wallets on my laptop (Sparrow) and phone (BlueWallet) to use my node. I then installed:
- Lightning Node (LND)
- Alby Hub
Alby Hub streamlines the process of opening and maintaining lightning channels, creating lightning wallets to send and receive sats, and zapping notes and users on Nostr. I have two main nsec accounts for Nostr and set up separate wallets on Alby Hub to track balances and transactions for each.
Other apps I installed on Umbrel OS:
- mempool
- Bitcoin Explorer
- LibreTranslate (some Nostr clients allow you to use your own translator)
- Public Pool
Public Pool allows me to connect Bitaxe solo miners (a.k.a. "lottery" miners) to my own mining pool for a (very) long shot at winning a Bitcoin block. It's also a great way to learn about mining, contribute to network decentralization, and generally tinker with electronics. Bitaxe miners are small open source single ASIC miners that you can run in your home with minimal technical knowledge and maintenance requirements.
Open Source Miners United (OSMU) is a great resource for anyone interesting in Bitaxe or other open source mining products (especially their Discord server).
Although Umbrel OS is more or less limited to running software in its App Store (or Community App Store, if you trust the developer), you can install the Portainer app and run Docker images. I know next to nothing about Docker but wanted to see what I might be able to do with it. I was also interested in the Haven Nostr relay and found that there was indeed a docker image for it.
As stated before, I didn't want to open my network to the outside, which meant I wouldn't be able to take advantage of all the features Haven offers (since other users wouldn't be able to access it). I would however be able to post notes to my relay, and use its "Blastr" feature to send my notes to other relays. After some trial and error I managed to get a Haven up and running in Portainer.
The upside of this setup is self-custody: being able to connect wallets to my own Bitcoin node, send and receive zaps with my own Lightning channel, solo mine with Bitaxe to my own pool, and send notes to my own Nostr relay. The downside is the lack of redundancy and uptime provided by major cloud services. You have to decide on your own comfort level. A solid internet connection and reliable power are definitely needed.

2025-04-26 11:14:03วันนี้เรามาย้อนอดีตเล็กน้อยกันครับ กับ ผลิตภัณฑ์ไขมันพืชแปรรูปแบบแรกๆของโลก ที่ใช้กระบวนการแปรรูปน้ำมันพืชด้วยเคมี (hydrogenation) เพื่อให้ได้ไขมันกึ่งแข็ง
ในเดือนมิถุนายน ค.ศ. 1911 บริษัท Procter & Gamble เปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ใหม่ที่เปลี่ยนโฉมวงการทำอาหารบ้านๆ ทั่วอเมริกา ตราสินค้า “Crisco” ซึ่งมาจากคำว่า “crystallized cottonseed oil” ได้ถือกำเนิดขึ้นเป็น “vegetable shortening” หรือที่บ้านเราเรียกว่าเนยขาว ก้อนแรกที่ทำมาจากน้ำมันพืชล้วนๆ แทนที่ไขมันสัตว์อย่างเนยหรือน้ำมันหมู จัดเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของการปฏิวัติวิธีปรุงอาหารในครัวเรือนสหรัฐฯ
ก่อนหน้านั้น คนอเมริกันคุ้นเคยกับการใช้เนย ชีส หรือน้ำมันหมูในการประกอบอาหาร แต่ Crisco มาพร้อมการโฆษณาว่า “สะอาดกว่า” และ “ประหยัดกว่า” เพราะไม่ต้องเสี่ยงกับกลิ่นคาวหรือการเน่าเสียของไขมันสัตว์ อีกทั้งบรรจุในกระป๋องสีขาวสะอาด จึงดูทันสมัยน่าต้องการ
ชื่อ “Crisco” นั้นไม่ได้ตั้งโดยบังเอิญ แต่มาจากการย่อวลี “crystallized cottonseed oil” ให้สั้นกระชับและติดหู (ต้นชื่อ “Krispo” เคยถูกทดลองก่อน แต่ติดปัญหาเครื่องหมายการค้า และชื่อ “Cryst” ก็ถูกทิ้งไปเพราะมีนัยยะทางศาสนา)
กระบวนการสำคัญคือการนำเอาน้ำมันฝ้ายเหลวไปเติมไฮโดรเจน (hydrogenation) จนแข็งตัวได้เองในอุณหภูมิห้อง ผลลัพธ์คือไขมันทรานส์ที่ช่วยให้มาการีนแข็งตัวดี
ภายในเวลาไม่นานหลังการเปิดตัว โฆษณาในหนังสือพิมพ์และวิทยุกระจายเสียงฉบับแรกของ Crisco ก็เริ่มขึ้นอย่างดุเดือด พ่วงด้วยการแจก “ตำรา Crisco” ให้แม่บ้านลองนำไปใช้ทั้งอบ ทั้งทอด จึงเกิด “ยุคครัว Crisco” อย่างแท้จริง
แม้ Crisco จะถูกยกให้เป็น “จุดเริ่มต้นของยุคไขมันพืช” ในครัวอเมริกัน แต่เบื้องหลังขวดสีเขียว–ขาวที่เติมเต็มชั้นเก็บของในบ้านกลับมีดราม่าและบทเรียนมากกว่าที่ใครคาดคิด
ย้อนกลับไปทศวรรษ 1910 เมื่อ Procter & Gamble เปิดตัว Crisco ในฐานะ “ไขมันพืชสุดสะอาด” พร้อมกับโฆษณาว่าเป็นทางเลือกที่ดีกว่าเนยและแลร์ดเดิม ๆ แต่ความท้าทายแรกคือ “ฝืนความเชื่อ” ของคุณแม่บ้านยุคนั้น ที่ยังยึดติดกับไขมันจากสัตว์ นักการตลาดของ P&G จึงสร้างภาพลักษณ์ให้ Crisco ดูเป็นผลิตภัณฑ์อุตสาหกรรมขั้นสูง โปร่งใส และถูกสุขอนามัยสู้กับค่านิยมเดิมได้อย่างน่าทึ่ง
หนังสือพิมพ์ในยุคนั้นพูดกันว่า มันคือไขมันพืชปฏิวัติวงการ ที่ทั้งถูกกว่าและยืดอายุได้ไกลกว่าน้ำมันสัตว์
กระทั่งปลายทศวรรษ 1980 เกิดดราม่าสะท้อนความย้อนแย้งในวงการสุขภาพ เมื่อองค์กร CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) กลับออกมาชื่นชมการใช้ไขมันทรานส์จาก Crisco ว่า “ดีต่อหลอดเลือด” เมื่อเทียบกับไขมันอิ่มตัวจากมะพร้าว เนย หรือไขมันสัตว์
นี่คือครั้งที่วงการแพทย์และโภชนาการแตกแยกกันว่าอะไรจริงหรือหลอก จนกระทั่งงานวิจัยยืนยันชัดเจนว่าไขมันทรานส์เป็นอันตรายต่อหัวใจจริง ๆ
แต่เมื่อเวลาผ่านไป งานวิจัยคุณภาพสูงเริ่มชี้ชัดว่า ไขมันทรานส์ ไม่ใช่เพียงส่วนเกินในเมนูขนมกรอบๆ เท่านั้น มันเป็นภัยเงียบที่เพิ่มความเสี่ยงโรคหลอดเลือดหัวใจ และการอักเสบเรื้อรัง WHO จึงออกมาตรการให้โลก “เลิกทรานส์แฟต” ภายในปี 2023 ทำให้ Procter & Gamble ปรับสูตร Crisco มาใช้การผสมระหว่างน้ำมันฝ้าย fully hydrogenated กับน้ำมันเหลว ผ่านกระบวนการ interesterification แทน เพื่อให้ได้จุดหลอมเหลวที่เหมาะสมโดยไม่สร้างทรานส์แฟตเพิ่มอีก
อีกประเด็นดราม่าที่ตามมาเมื่อ Procter & Gamble ต้องปรับสูตร Crisco ให้เป็น “trans fat–free” ในปี 2004 และยุติการขายสูตรปราศจากทรานส์เฉพาะทางในปี 2007 ก่อนจะกลับมาใช้ fully hydrogenated palm oil ตามกฎ FDA ในปี 2018
แต่การหันมาใช้น้ำมันปาล์มเต็มตัวกลับก่อปัญหาใหม่ คือข้อครหาเรื่องการทำลายป่าเขตร้อนเพื่อปลูกปาล์มน้ำมัน จนกลายเป็นดราม่าระดับโลกเรื่องสิ่งแวดล้อมและสิทธิมนุษยชนในชุมชนท้องถิ่น
แด่วันนี้ เมื่อใครยังพูดถึง Crisco ด้วยสายตาเด็กน้อยที่เห็นไขมันพืชขาวโพลน เป็นคำตอบใหม่ของครัวสะอาด เราอาจยกมือทักว่า “อย่าลืมดูเบื้องหลังของมัน” เพราะไขมันที่เกิดจากการ “สลับตำแหน่งกรดไขมัน” ผ่านความร้อนสูงและสารเคมี ไม่ใช่ไขมันที่ธรรมชาติออกแบบมาให้ร่างกายคุ้นเคยจริงๆ แม้จะมีชื่อใหม่ สูตรใหม่ แต่ต้นกำเนิดของการปฏิวัติครัวในปี 1911
Crisco ไม่ได้เป็นแค่พรีเซนเตอร์ “ไขมันพืชเพื่อสุขภาพ” แต่ยังเป็นบทเรียนสำคัญเรื่องการตลาดอาหารอุตสาหกรรม การวิจัยทางโภชนาการที่ต้องพัฒนาไม่หยุดนิ่ง และผลกระทบต่อสิ่งแวดล้อมเมื่อเราหันมาใช้วัตถุดิบใหม่ๆ ดังนั้น ครัวของเราอาจจะสะอาดทันสมัย แต่ก็ต้องเลือกให้รอบคอบและติดตามเบื้องหลังของทุกขวดที่เราใช้เสมอครับ
ไหนๆก็ไหนๆแล้ว ขออธิบายคุณลักษณะของ เนยขาวไปยาวๆเลยแล้วกันนะครับ ขี้เกียจแยกโพส 55555555
เนยขาว หรือชื่อทางเทคนิคว่า “shortening” ไม่ได้มีส่วนผสมของนม หรือเนยแท้ใดๆ ทั้งสิ้น แต่มันคือไขมันพืชที่ผ่านกระบวนการทำให้แข็งตัว และคงรูปได้ดี เส้นทางของเนยขาวเริ่มด้วยการเปลี่ยนโครงสร้างไขมันไม่อิ่มตัวในน้ำมันพืชให้กลายเป็นไขมันอิ่มตัวมากขึ้น กระบวนการนี้เรียกว่า hydrogenation หรือการเติมไฮโดรเจนเข้าไปในโมเลกุลของไขมัน โดยใช้อุณหภูมิสูงและตัวเร่งปฏิกิริยาอย่าง “นิกเกิล” เพื่อให้ไขมันพืชที่เหลวกลายเป็นของแข็งที่อยู่ตัว ไม่เหม็นหืนง่าย และสามารถเก็บได้นานขึ้น
ผลพลอยได้ของการ hydrogenation คือการเกิดขึ้นของ ไขมันทรานส์ (trans fat) ซึ่งเป็นไขมันที่ร่างกายแทบไม่มีระบบจัดการ และได้รับการยืนยันจากงานวิจัยนับไม่ถ้วนว่าเป็นหนึ่งในปัจจัยเสี่ยงสำคัญต่อโรคหัวใจ หลอดเลือด และการอักเสบเรื้อรังในร่างกาย แม้ในยุคปัจจุบันบางผู้ผลิตจะเปลี่ยนวิธีการผลิตไปใช้การปรับโครงสร้างไขมันด้วยวิธี interesterification ที่ช่วยลดทรานส์แฟตลงได้มาก แต่ก็ยังคงเป็นกระบวนการแทรกแซงโครงสร้างไขมันจากธรรมชาติรวมถึงใช้กระบวนการ RBD ที่เราคุยกันไปแล้วอยู่ดี และผลกระทบต่อร่างกายในระยะยาวก็ยังเป็นคำถามที่นักโภชนาการสาย real food หลายคนตั้งข้อสังเกต
คำว่า “shortening” มาจากคำกริยา shorten ที่แปลว่า "ทำให้สั้นลง" ซึ่งในบริบทของการทำขนม มันหมายถึง การไปยับยั้งไม่ให้เส้นใยกลูเตนในแป้งพัฒนาได้ยาวและเหนียวตามธรรมชาติ เวลาผสมแป้งกับน้ำ โปรตีนในแป้งสองตัวคือกลูเตนิน (glutenin) กับไกลอาดิน (gliadin) จะจับกันกลายเป็นกลูเตน ซึ่งมีคุณสมบัติยืดหยุ่น เหนียว เหมาะกับขนมปังที่ต้องการโครงสร้างแน่นๆ ยืดๆ หนึบๆ
แต่พอเราใส่ shortening ลงไป เช่น เนยขาว น้ำมัน หรือไขมันที่อยู่ในสถานะกึ่งของแข็ง มันจะไปเคลือบเส้นแป้ง ทำให้โปรตีนกลูเตนจับกันไม่ได้เต็มที่ ผลคือเส้นใยกลูเตนถูก “ทำให้สั้นลง” แทนที่จะยืดหยุ่นยาวแบบในขนมปัง เลยกลายเป็นเนื้อขนมที่ร่วน นุ่ม ละลายในปาก หรือแม้แต่กรอบ อย่างคุกกี้ พาย หรือโรตีบางๆ หอมๆ นั่นแหละ เป็นสัมผัสที่นักทำขนมรักใคร่ แต่ร่างกายอาจไม่ปลื้มสักเท่าไหร่
เพราะจุดสังเกตุคือ เรื่องไขมันทรานส์ หลายแบรนด์ที่ขั้นตอนการผลิตไม่ดีพอ อาจพยายามเขียนฉลากว่า “ไม่มี trans fat” หรือ “low trans” แต่ในความเป็นจริงแล้ว หากไขมันทรานส์ต่ำกว่า 0.5 กรัมต่อหนึ่งหน่วยบริโภค ผู้ผลิตสามารถระบุว่าเป็น 0 ได้ตามกฎหมาย ซึ่งหากกินหลายๆ หน่วยรวมกัน ก็ไม่ต่างจากการเปิดประตูให้ trans fat ย่องเข้าร่างแบบไม่รู้ตัว
แต่เหนือกว่านั้นก็คือเรื่องเดิมๆที่เราเข้าใจกันดีในน้ำมันพืช นั่นคือ โอเมก้า 6 เพียบ + กระบวนการปรุงแต่งเคมี ที่เปราะบางต่ออุณหภูมิ ทำให้เกิดการออกซิเดชัน นำไปสู่โรคจากการอักเสบของร่างกาย
อาจถึงเวลาแล้วที่เราควรเปิดใจกลับไปหาความเรียบง่ายของไขมันจากธรรมชาติ สิ่งที่ดูสะอาด ขาว และอยู่ตัวดีเกินไป อาจไม่ใช่สิ่งที่ธรรมชาติอยากให้เข้าไปอยู่ในตัวเราก็ได้
ปล. สำหรับใครที่สงสัยว่า เนยขาว กับ มาการีน ต่างกันยังไง Shortening (เนยขาว) คือไขมันพืช 100% ไม่มีน้ำผสม บีบให้เป็นก้อน ทนความร้อนได้สูง เพื่อให้แป้ง “ไม่ยืด” เกล็ดขนมร่วนกรอบ Margarine (มาการีน) จะผสมไขมันกับน้ำ–เกลือ–อิมัลซิไฟเออร์ ทำให้ทาได้เนียนเหมือนเนย แต่มีน้ำประมาณ 15–20%

2025-04-26 10:16:21O Contexto Legal Brasileiro e o Consentimento
No ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, o consentimento do ofendido pode, em certas circunstâncias, afastar a ilicitude de um ato que, sem ele, configuraria crime (como lesão corporal leve, prevista no Art. 129 do Código Penal). Contudo, o consentimento tem limites claros: não é válido para bens jurídicos indisponíveis, como a vida, e sua eficácia é questionável em casos de lesões corporais graves ou gravíssimas.
A prática de BDSM consensual situa-se em uma zona complexa. Em tese, se ambos os parceiros são adultos, capazes, e consentiram livre e informadamente nos atos praticados, sem que resultem em lesões graves permanentes ou risco de morte não consentido, não haveria crime. O desafio reside na comprovação desse consentimento, especialmente se uma das partes, posteriormente, o negar ou alegar coação.
A Lei Maria da Penha (Lei nº 11.340/2006)
A Lei Maria da Penha é um marco fundamental na proteção da mulher contra a violência doméstica e familiar. Ela estabelece mecanismos para coibir e prevenir tal violência, definindo suas formas (física, psicológica, sexual, patrimonial e moral) e prevendo medidas protetivas de urgência.
Embora essencial, a aplicação da lei em contextos de BDSM pode ser delicada. Uma alegação de violência por parte da mulher, mesmo que as lesões ou situações decorram de práticas consensuais, tende a receber atenção prioritária das autoridades, dada a presunção de vulnerabilidade estabelecida pela lei. Isso pode criar um cenário onde o parceiro masculino enfrenta dificuldades significativas em demonstrar a natureza consensual dos atos, especialmente se não houver provas robustas pré-constituídas.
Outros riscos:
Lesão corporal grave ou gravíssima (art. 129, §§ 1º e 2º, CP), não pode ser justificada pelo consentimento, podendo ensejar persecução penal.
Crimes contra a dignidade sexual (arts. 213 e seguintes do CP) são de ação pública incondicionada e independem de representação da vítima para a investigação e denúncia.
Riscos de Falsas Acusações e Alegação de Coação Futura
Os riscos para os praticantes de BDSM, especialmente para o parceiro que assume o papel dominante ou que inflige dor/restrição (frequentemente, mas não exclusivamente, o homem), podem surgir de diversas frentes:
- Acusações Externas: Vizinhos, familiares ou amigos que desconhecem a natureza consensual do relacionamento podem interpretar sons, marcas ou comportamentos como sinais de abuso e denunciar às autoridades.
- Alegações Futuras da Parceira: Em caso de término conturbado, vingança, arrependimento ou mudança de perspectiva, a parceira pode reinterpretar as práticas passadas como abuso e buscar reparação ou retaliação através de uma denúncia. A alegação pode ser de que o consentimento nunca existiu ou foi viciado.
- Alegação de Coação: Uma das formas mais complexas de refutar é a alegação de que o consentimento foi obtido mediante coação (física, moral, psicológica ou econômica). A parceira pode alegar, por exemplo, que se sentia pressionada, intimidada ou dependente, e que seu "sim" não era genuíno. Provar a ausência de coação a posteriori é extremamente difícil.
- Ingenuidade e Vulnerabilidade Masculina: Muitos homens, confiando na dinâmica consensual e na parceira, podem negligenciar a necessidade de precauções. A crença de que "isso nunca aconteceria comigo" ou a falta de conhecimento sobre as implicações legais e o peso processual de uma acusação no âmbito da Lei Maria da Penha podem deixá-los vulneráveis. A presença de marcas físicas, mesmo que consentidas, pode ser usada como evidência de agressão, invertendo o ônus da prova na prática, ainda que não na teoria jurídica.
Estratégias de Prevenção e Mitigação
Não existe um método infalível para evitar completamente o risco de uma falsa acusação, mas diversas medidas podem ser adotadas para construir um histórico de consentimento e reduzir vulnerabilidades:
- Comunicação Explícita e Contínua: A base de qualquer prática BDSM segura é a comunicação constante. Negociar limites, desejos, palavras de segurança ("safewords") e expectativas antes, durante e depois das cenas é crucial. Manter registros dessas negociações (e-mails, mensagens, diários compartilhados) pode ser útil.
-
Documentação do Consentimento:
-
Contratos de Relacionamento/Cena: Embora a validade jurídica de "contratos BDSM" seja discutível no Brasil (não podem afastar normas de ordem pública), eles servem como forte evidência da intenção das partes, da negociação detalhada de limites e do consentimento informado. Devem ser claros, datados, assinados e, idealmente, reconhecidos em cartório (para prova de data e autenticidade das assinaturas).
-
Registros Audiovisuais: Gravar (com consentimento explícito para a gravação) discussões sobre consentimento e limites antes das cenas pode ser uma prova poderosa. Gravar as próprias cenas é mais complexo devido a questões de privacidade e potencial uso indevido, mas pode ser considerado em casos específicos, sempre com consentimento mútuo documentado para a gravação.
Importante: a gravação deve ser com ciência da outra parte, para não configurar violação da intimidade (art. 5º, X, da Constituição Federal e art. 20 do Código Civil).
-
-
Testemunhas: Em alguns contextos de comunidade BDSM, a presença de terceiros de confiança durante negociações ou mesmo cenas pode servir como testemunho, embora isso possa alterar a dinâmica íntima do casal.
- Estabelecimento Claro de Limites e Palavras de Segurança: Definir e respeitar rigorosamente os limites (o que é permitido, o que é proibido) e as palavras de segurança é fundamental. O desrespeito a uma palavra de segurança encerra o consentimento para aquele ato.
- Avaliação Contínua do Consentimento: O consentimento não é um cheque em branco; ele deve ser entusiástico, contínuo e revogável a qualquer momento. Verificar o bem-estar do parceiro durante a cena ("check-ins") é essencial.
- Discrição e Cuidado com Evidências Físicas: Ser discreto sobre a natureza do relacionamento pode evitar mal-entendidos externos. Após cenas que deixem marcas, é prudente que ambos os parceiros estejam cientes e de acordo, talvez documentando por fotos (com data) e uma nota sobre a consensualidade da prática que as gerou.
- Aconselhamento Jurídico Preventivo: Consultar um advogado especializado em direito de família e criminal, com sensibilidade para dinâmicas de relacionamento alternativas, pode fornecer orientação personalizada sobre as melhores formas de documentar o consentimento e entender os riscos legais específicos.
Observações Importantes
- Nenhuma documentação substitui a necessidade de consentimento real, livre, informado e contínuo.
- A lei brasileira protege a "integridade física" e a "dignidade humana". Práticas que resultem em lesões graves ou que violem a dignidade de forma não consentida (ou com consentimento viciado) serão ilegais, independentemente de qualquer acordo prévio.
- Em caso de acusação, a existência de documentação robusta de consentimento não garante a absolvição, mas fortalece significativamente a defesa, ajudando a demonstrar a natureza consensual da relação e das práticas.
-
A alegação de coação futura é particularmente difícil de prevenir apenas com documentos. Um histórico consistente de comunicação aberta (whatsapp/telegram/e-mails), respeito mútuo e ausência de dependência ou controle excessivo na relação pode ajudar a contextualizar a dinâmica como não coercitiva.
-
Cuidado com Marcas Visíveis e Lesões Graves Práticas que resultam em hematomas severos ou lesões podem ser interpretadas como agressão, mesmo que consentidas. Evitar excessos protege não apenas a integridade física, mas também evita questionamentos legais futuros.
O que vem a ser consentimento viciado
No Direito, consentimento viciado é quando a pessoa concorda com algo, mas a vontade dela não é livre ou plena — ou seja, o consentimento existe formalmente, mas é defeituoso por alguma razão.
O Código Civil brasileiro (art. 138 a 165) define várias formas de vício de consentimento. As principais são:
Erro: A pessoa se engana sobre o que está consentindo. (Ex.: A pessoa acredita que vai participar de um jogo leve, mas na verdade é exposta a práticas pesadas.)
Dolo: A pessoa é enganada propositalmente para aceitar algo. (Ex.: Alguém mente sobre o que vai acontecer durante a prática.)
Coação: A pessoa é forçada ou ameaçada a consentir. (Ex.: "Se você não aceitar, eu termino com você" — pressão emocional forte pode ser vista como coação.)
Estado de perigo ou lesão: A pessoa aceita algo em situação de necessidade extrema ou abuso de sua vulnerabilidade. (Ex.: Alguém em situação emocional muito fragilizada é induzida a aceitar práticas que normalmente recusaria.)
No contexto de BDSM, isso é ainda mais delicado: Mesmo que a pessoa tenha "assinado" um contrato ou dito "sim", se depois ela alegar que seu consentimento foi dado sob medo, engano ou pressão psicológica, o consentimento pode ser considerado viciado — e, portanto, juridicamente inválido.
Isso tem duas implicações sérias:
-
O crime não se descaracteriza: Se houver vício, o consentimento é ignorado e a prática pode ser tratada como crime normal (lesão corporal, estupro, tortura, etc.).
-
A prova do consentimento precisa ser sólida: Mostrando que a pessoa estava informada, lúcida, livre e sem qualquer tipo de coação.
Consentimento viciado é quando a pessoa concorda formalmente, mas de maneira enganada, forçada ou pressionada, tornando o consentimento inútil para efeitos jurídicos.
Conclusão
Casais que praticam BDSM consensual no Brasil navegam em um terreno que exige não apenas confiança mútua e comunicação excepcional, mas também uma consciência aguçada das complexidades legais e dos riscos de interpretações equivocadas ou acusações mal-intencionadas. Embora o BDSM seja uma expressão legítima da sexualidade humana, sua prática no Brasil exige responsabilidade redobrada. Ter provas claras de consentimento, manter a comunicação aberta e agir com prudência são formas eficazes de se proteger de falsas alegações e preservar a liberdade e a segurança de todos os envolvidos. Embora leis controversas como a Maria da Penha sejam "vitais" para a proteção contra a violência real, os praticantes de BDSM, e em particular os homens nesse contexto, devem adotar uma postura proativa e prudente para mitigar os riscos inerentes à potencial má interpretação ou instrumentalização dessas práticas e leis, garantindo que a expressão de sua consensualidade esteja resguardada na medida do possível.
Importante: No Brasil, mesmo com tudo isso, o Ministério Público pode denunciar por crime como lesão corporal grave, estupro ou tortura, independente de consentimento. Então a prudência nas práticas é fundamental.

2025-04-26 08:14:16CHAPTER THIRTEEN
"I need something, Tracy anything," Mark said urgently over the phone. "A document, a record, an old file. Something we can use to destroy James."
There was a pause on the line before Tracy’s voice came through. "I’m listening."
"You're close to the system. You’ve got access. Find anything in JP Enterprises' archives that can ruin his name. I’ll make it worth your while."
"And if I find something?"
"Then you'll be well paid. Consider this... a mutual favor."
She hesitated for only a moment longer before replying. "Fine. I never liked that arrogant boss anyway."
Tracy got to work.
She waited until after hours when most of the staff had left the building. Using her clearance as assistant secretary, she accessed the company’s archival system and began a deep dive into the internal records emails, past reports, disciplinary logs anything that could point to a crack in James’s past.
Her digging soon turned up something explosive.
A buried personnel file revealed that James had once worked as a general manager in the company years ago under the leadership of his own parents. And the record didn’t end well.
Tracy’s eyes widened as she read through the document.
James had been dismissed for embezzlement. According to the official report, he had allegedly siphoned company funds and misappropriated key equipment. Worse still, his name had been added to JP Enterprises’ blacklist marked as a permanent ban from holding any role in the organization again.
"Oh my God," Tracy whispered, her heart pounding. "This is it. This will end him."
Without wasting another second, she forwarded every file and attachment to Mark and Helen.
Meanwhile, across the ocean, in a secluded estate far from the noise of city life, Mr. and Mrs. JP were enjoying the quiet of retirement. Having severed ties with James years ago over the scandal, they had left the country to escape the shame and silence.
That peace was short-lived.
Mr. JP sat up abruptly as his phone buzzed. It was an anonymous message. He opened it slowly, his eyes scanning the contents with growing disbelief.
"James has returned to JP Enterprises. Charles reinstated him. He’s now President of your company."
His blood ran cold.
Mrs. JP saw the tension in his expression. "What’s wrong?"
"He’s back," Mr. JP said grimly. "Our son. James. He's taken over the company."
He stared into space, his mind reeling. "And Charles helped him..."
They had spent years trying to distance themselves from the disgrace of James’s past only to now be faced with the reality that he had clawed his way back into the empire they built.
The anonymous message was, of course, sent by Mark and Helen, each relishing in the chaos they had ignited. With the scandalous file now in their hands and James’s own family unknowingly brought into the picture, they believed the final blow was in place.
Mark leaned back in his chair and smiled as he read the forwarded documents.
"Let’s see how your so-called empire stands after this, James," he said quietly.
Helen, standing beside him, added coldly, "This time, he won’t survive it."
"How could he do this?" Mr. JP muttered under his breath, clutching his phone tightly. "How could Charles go behind my back and reinstall him? My own brother..."
The news that James had returned to JP Enterprises and not just as a member, but as its President had shaken him to the core. But what stung more was the betrayal he felt from Charles, who had once promised never to interfere in the matter again.
Fuming with rage and disbelief, Mr. JP boarded the next flight back home. Upon arrival, he didn’t even stop by the family estate. Instead, he went straight to the Regency Grand, the city’s most luxurious hotel, the same place he used to spend time with his family during better days. He booked the presidential suite and immediately dialed Charles' number.
"Meet me. Now. At the hotel," he barked before ending the call without waiting for a response.
Within the hour, Charles walked in, calm but aware of the storm brewing.
"You defied me, Charles," Mr. JP said, his voice icy. "You brought back the one person I had removed. The one person I swore would never set foot in the company again."
"Because you were wrong," Charles replied firmly. "You made a decision based on lies."
Mr. JP’s glare deepened.
"Lies? The records were clear embezzlement. Theft. He disgraced this family, Charles!"
Charles stood his ground. "Those records were manipulated. You never gave James a chance to explain himself."
He stepped closer. "The funds he was accused of stealing? He used them to invest in a struggling tech start-up that exploded in value two years later. That investment saved JP Enterprises during the economic downturn. The company is standing today because of James’s vision and sacrifice."
Silence filled the room.
Mr. JP felt his heart sink as the weight of Charles’s words settled in. He turned away, walking slowly to the window, staring out at the city skyline.
"All this time... I condemned my own son... exiled him... because I trusted false reports?"
Charles nodded. "Yes. And despite it all, he returned not for revenge, but to help us."
Tears welled up in Mr. JP’s eyes. His pride, once like stone, was now crumbling.
Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and dialed James’s number. The phone rang twice before James answered.
"Hello?" came the familiar voice, calm and distant.
"James... it’s your father." His voice trembled. "I... I’m sorry. I was wrong. Gravely wrong. Everything I believed about you was a lie. I let you down, son."
There was silence on the other end.
"I just found out the truth," Mr. JP continued. "And I’m proud of what you’ve done for the company, for our name. I want you to know... you are reinstated as the rightful heir to JP Enterprises. I want you back not just as President, but as my son."
James took a long pause before answering.
"It took you long enough," he said softly. "But... thank you."
Though James had once sworn not to seek his parents' approval, deep down, those words still mattered. And hearing them from the father who had disowned him brought a quiet sense of closure.
The rift that had torn them apart for years was beginning to heal.
"Dad, who told you I was the President of JP Enterprises?" James asked, his tone calm but firm as he stood before his father in the grand office of the family estate.
Mr. JP, still adjusting to the emotional weight of his recent apology, furrowed his brow. "It was anonymous, son. I received a message no name, no clue. Just the information."
James narrowed his eyes. "Can you forward the message to me?"
"Of course," his father replied, pulling out his phone. Within seconds, the message was in James’s inbox.
Later that evening, James sat in his private office, staring at the message on his screen. Something about it felt off too calculated, too timely. He forwarded it to his personal cybersecurity team with one instruction: “Trace the source. I want to know everything about who sent it, how, and if they’re working with someone.”
Meanwhile, Ray Enterprises was thriving again under James’s investment. With the influx of capital and revitalized operations, profits were skyrocketing. However, while the company’s success looked promising on the surface, the Ray family was barely reaping the rewards.
James’s 85% share ensured he collected the lion’s portion of every deal. Robert, despite being the figurehead chairman, found himself managing a flourishing empire but receiving only crumbs in return.
Frustrated and desperate, Robert scheduled a private meeting with James.
"James, please... eighty-five percent is bleeding us dry. We’re grateful for what you’ve done truly but surely we can renegotiate?"
James leaned back in his chair, expression unreadable. "You signed the agreement, Robert. You knew the terms. And frankly, I'm not in the mood to revisit old conversations."
"We just want fairness," Robert pleaded. "A little breathing space"
"If this discussion continues," James interrupted coldly, "I’ll pull out my funds. And when I do, I promise Ray Enterprises will go down faster than it rose. Do I make myself clear?"
Robert’s face fell. He had no choice but to nod and walk away, defeated.
Two weeks later, James’s cybersecurity team sent their report. The source of the anonymous message had been traced and the result was both surprising and telling.
Tracy.
James sat silently as he read the details. Tracy, his own subordinate, had accessed restricted files from the company’s internal network. It wasn’t just a case of whistleblowing it was deliberate sabotage. But what intrigued him more was the fact that she had gone to great lengths to cover her tracks.
No one takes that risk alone, he thought.
Despite having the evidence in hand, James chose silence. Not out of mercy but strategy. He needed to know who she was working with. Who else had a vested interest in his downfall?

2025-04-26 08:08:11The Traditional Hackathon: Brilliant Sparks with Limitations
For decades, hackathons have been the petri dishes of tech culture – frantic 24- or 48-hour coding marathons fueled by pizza, caffeine, and impossible optimism. From the first hackathon in 1999, when Sun Microsystems challenged Java developers to code on a Palm V in a day [1], to the all-night hack days at startups and universities, these events celebrated the hacker spirit. They gave us Facebook’s “Like” button and Chat features – iconic innovations born in overnight jams [1]. They spawned companies like GroupMe, which was coded in a few late-night hours and sold to Skype for $80 million a year later [2]. Hackathons became tech lore, synonymous with creativity unchained.
And yet, for all their electric energy and hype, traditional hackathons had serious limitations. They were episodic and offline – a once-in-a-blue-moon adrenaline rush rather than a sustainable process. A hackathon might gather 100 coders in a room over a weekend, then vanish until the next year. Low frequency, small scale, limited reach. Only those who could be on-site (often in Silicon Valley or elite campuses) could join. A brilliant hacker in Lagos or São Paulo would be left out, no matter how bright their ideas.
The outcomes of these sprint-like events were also constrained. Sure, teams built cool demos and won bragging rights. But in most cases, the projects were throwaway prototypes – “toy” apps that never evolved into real products or companies. It’s telling that studies found only about 5% of hackathon projects have any life a few months after the event [3]. Ninety-five percent evaporate – victims of that post-hackathon hangover, when everyone goes back to “real” work and the demo code gathers dust. Critics even dubbed hackathons “weekend wastedathons,” blasting their outputs as short-lived vaporware [3]. Think about it: a burst of creativity occurs, dozens of nifty ideas bloom… and then what? How many hackathon winners can you name that turned into enduring businesses? For every Carousell or EasyTaxi that emerged from a hackathon and later raised tens of millions [2], there were hundreds of clever mashups that never saw the light of day again.
The traditional hackathon model, as exciting as it was, rarely translated into sustained innovation. It was innovation in a silo: constrained by time, geography, and a lack of follow-through. Hackathons were events, not processes. They happened in a burst and ended just as quickly – a firework, not a sunrise.
Moreover, hackathons historically were insular. Until recently, they were largely run by and for tech insiders. Big tech companies did internal hackathons to juice employee creativity (Facebook’s famous all-nighters every few weeks led to Timeline and tagging features reaching a billion users [1]), and organizations like NASA and the World Bank experimented with hackathons for civic tech. But these were exceptions that proved the rule: hackathons were special occasions, not business-as-usual. Outside of tech giants, few organizations had the bandwidth or know-how to host them regularly. If you weren’t Google, Microsoft, or a well-funded startup hub, hackathons remained a novelty.
In fact, the world’s largest hackathon today is Microsoft’s internal global hackathon – with 70,000 employees collaborating across 75 countries [4] – an incredible feat, but one only a corporate titan could pull off. Smaller players could only watch and wonder.
The limitations were clear: hackathons were too infrequent and inaccessible to tap the full global talent pool, too short-lived to build anything beyond a prototype, and too isolated to truly change an industry. Yes, they produced amazing moments of genius – flashbulbs of innovation. But as a mechanism for continuous progress, the traditional hackathon was lacking. As an investor or tech leader, you might cheer the creativity but ask: Where is the lasting impact? Where is the infrastructure that turns these flashes into a steady beam of light?
In the spirit of Clay Christensen’s Innovator’s Dilemma, incumbents often dismissed hackathon projects as mere toys – interesting but not viable. And indeed, “the next big thing always starts out being dismissed as a toy” [5]. Hackathons generated plenty of toys, but rarely the support system to turn those toys into the next big thing. The model was ripe for reinvention. Why, in the 2020s, were we still innovating with a 1990s playbook? Why limit breakthrough ideas to a weekend or a single location? Why allow 95% of nascent innovations to wither on the vine? These questions hung in the air, waiting for an answer.
Hackathons 2.0 – DoraHacks and the First Evolution (2020–2024)
Enter DoraHacks. In the early 2020s, DoraHacks emerged like a defibrillator for the hackathon format, jolting it to new life. DoraHacks 1.0 (circa 2020–2024) was nothing less than the reinvention of the hackathon – an upgrade from Hackathon 1.0 to Hackathon 2.0. It took the hackathon concept, supercharged it, scaled it, and extended its reach in every dimension. The result was a global hacker movement, a platform that transformed hackathons from one-off sprints into a continuous engine for tech innovation. How did DoraHacks revolutionize the hackathon? Let’s count the ways:
From 24 Hours to 24 Days (or 24 Weeks!)
DoraHacks stretched the timeframe of hackathons, unlocking vastly greater potential. Instead of a frantic 24-hour dash, many DoraHacks-supported hackathons ran for several weeks or even months. This was a game-changer. Suddenly, teams had time to build serious prototypes, iterate, and polish their projects. A longer format meant hackathon projects could evolve beyond the rough demo stage. Hackers could sleep (occasionally!), incorporate user feedback, and transform a kernel of an idea into a working MVP. The extended duration blurred the line between a hackathon and an accelerator program – but with the open spirit of a hackathon intact. For example, DoraHacks hackathons for blockchain startups often ran 6–8 weeks, resulting in projects that attracted real users and investors by the end. The extra time turned hackathon toys into credible products. It was as if the hackathon grew up: less hack, more build (“BUIDL”). By shattering the 24-hour norm, DoraHacks made hackathons far more productive and impactful.
From Local Coffee Shops to Global Online Arenas
DoraHacks moved hackathons from physical spaces into the cloud, unleashing global participation. Pre-2020, a hackathon meant being in a specific place – say, a warehouse in San Francisco or a university lab – shoulder-to-shoulder with a local team. DoraHacks blew the doors off that model with online hackathons that anyone, anywhere could join. Suddenly, a developer in Nigeria could collaborate with a designer in Ukraine and a product thinker in Brazil, all in the same virtual hackathon. Geography ceased to be a limit. When DoraHacks hosted the Naija HackAtom for African blockchain devs, it drew over 500 participants (160+ developers) across Nigeria’s tech community [6]. In another event, thousands of hackers from dozens of countries logged into a DoraHacks virtual venue to ideate and compete. This global reach did more than increase headcount – it brought diverse perspectives and problems into the innovation mix. A fintech hackathon might see Latin American coders addressing remittances, or an AI hackathon see Asian and African participants applying machine learning to local healthcare challenges. By going online, hackathons became massively inclusive. DoraHacks effectively democratized access to innovation competitions: all you needed was an internet connection and the will to create. The result was a quantum leap in both the quantity and quality of ideas. No longer were hackathons an elitist sport; they became a global innovation free-for-all, open to talent from every corner of the world.
From Dozens of Participants to Tens of Thousands
Scale was another pillar of the DoraHacks revolution. Traditional hackathons were intimate affairs (dozens, maybe a few hundred participants at best). DoraHacks helped orchestrate hackathons an order of magnitude larger. We’re talking global hackathons with thousands of developers and multi-million dollar prize pools. For instance, in one 2021 online hackathon, nearly 7,000 participants submitted 550 projects for $5 million in prizes [7] – a scale unimaginable in the early 2010s. DoraHacks itself became a nexus for these mega-hackathons. The platform’s hackathons in the Web3 space routinely saw hundreds of teams competing for prizes sometimes exceeding $1 million. This scale wasn’t just vanity metrics; it meant a deeper talent bench attacking problems and a higher probability that truly exceptional projects would emerge. By casting a wide net, DoraHacks events captured star teams that might have been overlooked in smaller settings. The proof is in the outcomes: 216 builder teams were funded with over $5 million in one DoraHacks-powered hackathon series on BNB Chain [8] – yes, five million dollars, distributed to over two hundred teams as seed funding. That’s not a hackathon, that’s an economy! The prize pools ballooned from pizza money to serious capital, attracting top-tier talent who realized this hackathon could launch my startup. As a result, projects coming out of DoraHacks were not just weekend hacks – they were venture-ready endeavors. The hackathon graduated from a science fair to a global startup launchpad.
From Toy Projects to Real Startups (Even Unicorns)
Here’s the most thrilling part: DoraHacks hackathons started producing not just apps, but companies. And some of them turned into unicorns (companies valued at $1B+). We saw earlier the rare cases of pre-2020 hackathon successes like Carousell (a simple idea at a 2012 hackathon that became a $1.1B valued marketplace [2]) or EasyTaxi (born in a hackathon, later raising $75M and spanning 30 countries [2]). DoraHacks turbocharged this phenomenon. By providing more time, support, and follow-up funding, DoraHacks-enabled hackathons became cradles of innovation where raw hacks matured into fully-fledged ventures. Take 1inch Network for example – a decentralized finance aggregator that started as a hackathon project in 2019. Sergej Kunz and Anton Bukov built a prototype at a hackathon and kept iterating. Fast forward: 1inch has now processed over $400 billion in trading volume [9] and became one of the leading platforms in DeFi. Or consider the winners of DoraHacks Web3 hackathons: many have gone on to raise multimillion-dollar rounds from top VCs. Hackathons became the front door to the startup world – the place where founders made their debut. A striking illustration was the Solana Season Hackathons: projects like STEPN, a move-to-earn app, won a hackathon track in late 2021 and shortly after grew into a sensation with a multi-billion dollar token economy [10]. These are not isolated anecdotes; they represent a trend DoraHacks set in motion. The platform’s hackathons produced a pipeline of fundable, high-impact startups. In effect, DoraHacks blurred the line between a hackathon and a seed-stage incubator. The playful hacker ethos remained, but now the outcomes were much more than bragging rights – they were companies with real users, revenue, and valuations. To paraphrase investor Chris Dixon, DoraHacks took those “toys” and helped nurture them into the next big things [5].
In driving this first evolution of the hackathon, DoraHacks didn’t just improve on an existing model – it created an entirely new innovation ecosystem. Hackathons became high-frequency, global, and consequential. What used to be a weekend thrill became a continuous pipeline for innovation. DoraHacks events started churning out hundreds of viable projects every year, many of which secured follow-on funding. The platform provided not just the event itself, but the after-care: community support, mentorship, and links to investors and grants (through initiatives like DoraHacks’ grant programs and quadratic funding rounds).
By 2024, the results spoke volumes. DoraHacks had grown into the world’s most important hackathon platform – the beating heart of a global hacker movement spanning blockchain, AI, and beyond. The numbers tell the story. Over nine years, DoraHacks supported 4,000+ projects in securing more than $30 million in funding [11]; by 2025, that figure skyrocketed as 21,000+ startups and developer teams received over $80 million via DoraHacks-supported hackathons and grants [12]. This is not hype – this is recorded history. According to CoinDesk, “DoraHacks has made its mark as a global hackathon organizer and one of the world’s most active multi-chain Web3 developer platforms” [11]. Major tech ecosystems took notice. Over 40 public blockchain networks (L1s and L2s) – from Solana to Polygon to Avalanche – partnered with DoraHacks to run their hackathons and open innovation programs [13]. Blockworks reported that DoraHacks became a “core partner” to dozens of Web3 ecosystems, providing them access to a global pool of developers [13]. In the eyes of investors, DoraHacks itself was key infrastructure: “DoraHacks is key to advancing the development of the infrastructure for Web3,” noted one VC backing the platform [13].
In short, by 2024 DoraHacks had transformed the hackathon from a niche event into a global innovation engine. It proved that hackathons at scale can consistently produce real, fundable innovation – not just one-off gimmicks. It connected hackers with resources and turned isolated hacks into an evergreen, worldwide developer movement. This was Hackathons 2.0: bigger, longer, borderless, and far more impactful than ever before.
One might reasonably ask: Can it get any better than this? DoraHacks had seemingly cracked the code to harness hacker energy for lasting innovation. But the team behind DoraHacks wasn’t done. In fact, they were about to unveil something even more radical – a catalyst to push hackathons into a new epoch entirely. If DoraHacks 1.0 was the evolution, what came next would be a revolution.
The Agentic Hackathon: BUIDL AI and the Second Revolution
In 2024, DoraHacks introduced BUIDL AI, and with it, the concept of the Agentic Hackathon. If hackathons at their inception were analog phones, and DoraHacks 1.0 made them smartphones, then BUIDL AI is like giving hackathons an AI co-pilot – a self-driving mode. It’s not merely an incremental improvement; it’s a second revolution. BUIDL AI infused hackathons with artificial intelligence, automation, and agency (hence “agentic”), fundamentally changing how these events are organized and experienced. We are now entering the Age of Agentic Innovation, where hackathons run with the assistance of AI agents can occur with unprecedented frequency, efficiency, and intelligence.
So, what exactly is an Agentic Hackathon? It’s a hackathon where AI-driven agents augment the entire process – from planning and judging to participant support – enabling a scale and speed of innovation that was impossible before. In an agentic hackathon, AI is the tireless co-organizer working alongside humans. Routine tasks that used to bog down organizers are now handled by intelligent algorithms. Imagine hackathons that practically run themselves, continuously, like an “always-on” tournament of ideas. With BUIDL AI, DoraHacks effectively created self-driving hackathons – autonomous, efficient, and capable of operating 24/7, across multiple domains, simultaneously. This isn’t science fiction; it’s happening now. Let’s break down how BUIDL AI works and why it 10x’d hackathon efficiency overnight:
AI-Powered Judging and Project Review – 10× Efficiency Boost
One of the most labor-intensive aspects of big hackathons is judging hundreds of project submissions. It can take organizers weeks of effort to sift the high-potential projects from the rest. BUIDL AI changes that. It comes with a BUIDL Review module – an AI-driven judging system that can intelligently evaluate hackathon projects on multiple dimensions (completeness, originality, relevance to the hackathon theme, etc.) and automatically filter out low-quality submissions [14]. It’s like having an army of expert reviewers available instantly. The result? What used to require hundreds of human-hours now happens in a flash. DoraHacks reports that AI-assisted review has improved hackathon organization efficiency by more than 10× [14]. Think about that: a process that might have taken a month of tedious work can be done in a few days or less, with AI ensuring consistency and fairness in scoring. Organizers can now handle massive hackathons without drowning in paperwork, and participants get quicker feedback. The AI doesn’t replace human judges entirely – final decisions still involve experts – but it augments them, doing the heavy lifting of initial evaluation. This means hackathons can accept more submissions, confident that AI will help triage them. No more cutting off sign-ups because “we can’t review them all.” The machine scale is here. In an agentic hackathon, no good project goes unseen due to bandwidth constraints – the AI makes sure of that.
Automated Marketing and Storytelling
Winning a hackathon is great, but if nobody hears about it, the impact is muted. Traditionally, after a hackathon ended, organizers would manually compile results, write blog posts, thank sponsors – tasks that, while important, take time and often get delayed. BUIDL AI changes this too. It features an Automated Marketing capability that can generate post-hackathon reports and content with a click [14]. Imagine an AI that observes the entire event (the projects submitted, the winners, the tech trends) and then writes a polished summary: highlighting the best ideas, profiling the winning teams, extracting insights (“60% of projects used AI in healthcare this hackathon”). BUIDL AI does exactly that – it automatically produces a hackathon “highlight reel” and summary report [14]. This not only saves organizers the headache of writing marketing copy, but it also amplifies the hackathon’s reach. Within hours of an event, a rich recap can be shared globally, showcasing the innovations and attracting attention to the teams. Sponsors and partners love this, as their investment gets publicized promptly. Participants love it because their work is immediately celebrated and visible. In essence, every hackathon tells a story, and BUIDL AI ensures that story spreads far and wide – instantly. This kind of automated storytelling turns each hackathon into ongoing content, fueling interest and momentum for the next events. It’s a virtuous cycle: hackathons create innovations, AI packages the narrative, that narrative draws in more innovators.
One-Click Launch and Multi-Hackathon Management
Perhaps the most liberating feature of BUIDL AI is how it obliterates the logistical hurdles of organizing hackathons. Before, setting up a hackathon was itself a project – coordinating registrations, judges, prizes, communications, all manually configured. DoraHacks’ BUIDL AI introduces a one-click hackathon launch tool [14]. Organizers simply input the basics (theme, prize pool, dates, some judging criteria) and the platform auto-generates the event page, submission portal, judging workflow, and more. It’s as easy as posting a blog. This dramatically lowers the barrier for communities and companies to host hackathons. A small startup or a university club can now launch a serious global hackathon without a dedicated team of event planners. Furthermore, BUIDL AI supports Multi-Hackathon Management, meaning one organization can run multiple hackathons in parallel with ease [14]. In the past, even tech giants struggled to overlap hackathons – it was too resource-intensive. Now, an ecosystem could run, say, a DeFi hackathon, an AI hackathon, and an IoT hackathon all at once, with a lean team, because AI is doing the juggling in the back-end. The launch of BUIDL AI made it feasible to organize 12 hackathons a year – or even several at the same time – something unimaginable before [14]. The platform handles participant onboarding, sends reminders, answers common queries via chatbots, and keeps everything on track. In essence, BUIDL AI turns hackathon hosting into a scalable service. Just as cloud computing platforms let you spin up servers on demand, DoraHacks lets you spin up innovation events on demand. This is a tectonic shift: hackathons can now happen as frequently as needed, not as occasionally as resources allow. We’re talking about the birth of perpetual hackathon culture. Hackathons are no longer rare spark events; they can be continuous flames, always burning, always on.
Real-Time Mentor and Agentic Assistance
The “agentic” part of Agentic Hackathons isn’t only behind the scenes. It also touches the participant experience. With AI integration, hackers get smarter tools and support. For instance, BUIDL AI can include AI assistants that answer developers’ questions during the event (“How do I use this API?” or “Any example code for this algorithm?”), acting like on-demand mentors. It can match teams with potential collaborators or suggest resources. Essentially, every hacker has an AI helper at their side, reducing frustration and accelerating progress. Coding issues that might take hours to debug can be resolved in minutes with an AI pair programmer. This means project quality goes up and participants learn more. It’s as if each team has an extra member – an tireless, all-knowing one. This agentic assistance embodies the vision that “everyone is a hacker” [14] – because AI tools enable even less-experienced participants to build something impressive. The popularization of AI has automated repetitive grunt work and amplified what small teams can achieve [14], so the innovation potential of hackathons is far greater than before [14]. In an agentic hackathon, a team of two people with AI assistants can accomplish what a team of five might have in years past. The playing field is leveled and the creative ceiling is raised.
What do all these advances add up to? Simply this: Hackathons have evolved from occasional bouts of inspiration into a continuous, AI-optimized process of innovation. We have gone from Hackathons 2.0 to Hackathons 3.0 – hackathons that are autonomous, persistent, and intelligent. It’s a paradigm shift. The hackathon is no longer an event you attend; it’s becoming an environment you live in. With BUIDL AI, DoraHacks envisions a world where “Hackathons will enter an unprecedented era of automation and intelligence, allowing more hackers, developers, and open-source communities around the world to easily initiate and participate” [14]. Innovation can happen anytime, anywhere – because the infrastructure to support it runs 24/7 in the cloud, powered by AI. The hackathon has become an agentic platform, always ready to transform ideas into reality.
Crucially, this isn’t limited to blockchain or any single field. BUIDL AI is general-purpose. It is as relevant for an AI-focused hackathon as for a climate-tech or healthcare hackathon. Any domain can plug into this agentic hackathon platform and reap the benefits of higher frequency and efficiency. This heralds a future where hackathons become the default mode for problem-solving. Instead of committees and R&D departments working in silos, companies and communities can throw problems into the hackathon arena – an arena that is always active. It’s like having a global innovation engine humming in the background, ready to tackle challenges at a moment’s notice.
To put it vividly: If DoraHacks 1.0 turned hackathons into a high-speed car, DoraHacks 2.0 with BUIDL AI made it a self-driving car with the pedal to the metal. The roadblocks of cost, complexity, and time – gone. Now, any organization can accelerate from 0 to 60 on the innovation highway without a pit stop. Hackathons can be as frequent as blog updates, as integrated into operations as sprint demos. Innovation on demand, at scale – that’s the power of the Agentic Hackathon.
Innovation On-Demand: How Agentic Hackathons Benefit Everyone
The advent of agentic hackathons isn’t just a cool new toy for the tech community – it’s a transformative tool for businesses, developers, and entire industries. We’re entering an era where anyone with a vision can harness hackathons-as-a-service to drive innovation. Here’s how different players stand to gain from this revolution:
AI Companies – Turbocharging Ecosystem Growth
For AI-focused companies (think OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Stability AI and the like), hackathons are goldmines of creative uses for their technology. Now, with agentic hackathons, an AI company can essentially run a continuous developer conference for their platform. For example, OpenAI can host always-on hackathons for building applications with GPT-4 or DALL-E. This means thousands of developers constantly experimenting and showcasing what the AI can do – effectively crowdsourcing innovation and killer apps for the AI platform. The benefit? It dramatically expands the company’s ecosystem and user base. New use cases emerge that the company’s own team might never have imagined. (It was independent hackers who first showed how GPT-3 could draft legal contracts or generate game levels – insights that came from hackathons and community contests.) With BUIDL AI, an AI company could spin up monthly hackathons with one click, each focusing on a different aspect (one month NLP, next month robotics, etc.). This is a marketing and R&D force multiplier. Instead of traditional, expensive developer evangelism tours, the AI does the heavy lifting to engage devs globally. The company’s product gets improved and promoted at the same time. In essence, every AI company can now launch a Hackathon League to promote their APIs/models. It’s no coincidence Coinbase just hosted its first AI hackathon to bridge crypto and AI [15] – they know that to seed adoption of a new paradigm, hackathons are the way. Expect every AI platform to do the same: continuous hackathons to educate developers, generate content (demos, tutorials), and identify standout talent to hire or fund. It’s community-building on steroids.
L1s/L2s and Tech Platforms – Discovering the Next Unicorns
For blockchain Layer1/Layer2 ecosystems, or any tech platform (cloud providers, VR platforms, etc.), hackathons are the new deal flow. In the Web3 world, it’s widely recognized that many of the best projects and protocols are born in hackathons. We saw how 1inch started as a hackathon project and became a DeFi unicorn [9]. There’s also Polygon (which aggressively runs hackathons to find novel dApps for its chain) and Filecoin (which used hackathons to surface storage applications). By using DoraHacks and BUIDL AI, these platforms can now run high-frequency hackathons to continuously source innovation. Instead of one or two big events a year, they can have a rolling program – a quarterly hackathon series or even simultaneous global challenges – to keep developers building all the time. The ROI is huge: the cost of running a hackathon (even with decent prizes) is trivial compared to acquiring a thriving new startup or protocol for your ecosystem. Hackathons effectively outsource initial R&D to passionate outsiders, and the best ideas bubble up. Solana’s hackathons led to star projects like Phantom and Solend gaining traction in its ecosystem. Facebook’s internal hackathons gave birth to features that kept the platform dominant [1]. Now any platform can do this externally: use hackathons as a radar for talent and innovation. Thanks to BUIDL AI, a Layer-2 blockchain, even if its core team is small, can manage a dozen parallel bounties and hackathons – one focusing on DeFi, one on NFTs, one on gaming, etc. The AI will help review submissions and manage community questions, so the platform’s devrel team doesn’t burn out. The result is an innovation pipeline feeding the platform’s growth. The next unicorn startup or killer app is identified early and supported. In effect, hackathons become the new startup funnel for VCs and ecosystems. We can expect venture investors to lurk in these agentic hackathons because that’s where the action is – the garages of the future are now cloud hackathon rooms. As Paul Graham wrote, “hackers and painters are both makers” [16], and these makers will paint the future of technology on the canvas of hackathon platforms.
Every Company and Community – Innovation as a Continuous Process
Perhaps the most profound impact of BUIDL AI is that it opens up hackathons to every organization, not just tech companies. Any company that wants to foster innovation – be it a bank exploring fintech, a hospital network seeking healthtech solutions, or a government looking for civic tech ideas – can leverage agentic hackathons. Innovation is no longer a privilege of the giant tech firms; it’s a cloud service accessible to all. For example, a city government could host a year-round hackathon for smart city solutions, where local developers continuously propose and build projects to improve urban life. The BUIDL AI platform could manage different “tracks” for transportation, energy, public safety, etc., with monthly rewards for top ideas. This would engage the community and yield a constant stream of pilot projects, far more dynamically than traditional RFP processes. Likewise, any Fortune 500 company that fears disruption (and who doesn’t?) can use hackathons to disrupt itself positively – inviting outsiders and employees to hack on the company’s own challenges. With the agentic model, even non-technical companies can do this without a hitch; the AI will guide the process, ensuring things run smoothly. Imagine hackathons as part of every corporate strategy department’s toolkit – continuously prototyping the future. As Marc Andreessen famously said, “software is eating the world” – and now every company can have a seat at the table by hosting hackathons to software-ize their business problems. This could democratize innovation across industries. The barrier to trying out bold ideas is so low (a weekend of a hackathon vs. months of corporate planning) that more wild, potentially disruptive ideas will surface from within companies. And with the global reach of DoraHacks, they can bring in external innovators too. Why shouldn’t a retail company crowdsource AR shopping ideas from global hackers? Why shouldn’t a pharma company run bioinformatics hackathons to find new ways to analyze data? There is no reason not to – the agentic hackathon makes it feasible and attractive. Hackathon-as-a-service is the new innovation department. Use it or risk being out-innovated by those who do.
All these benefits boil down to a simple but profound shift: hackathons are becoming a permanent feature of the innovation landscape, rather than a novelty. They are turning into an always-available resource, much like cloud computing or broadband internet. Need fresh ideas or prototypes? Spin up a hackathon and let the global talent pool tackle it. Want to engage your developer community? Launch a themed hackathon and give them a stage. Want to test out 10 different approaches to a problem? Run a hackathon and see what rises to the top. We’re effectively seeing the realization of what one might call the Innovation Commons – a space where problems and ideas are continuously matched, and solutions are rapidly iterated. And AI is the enabler that keeps this commons humming efficiently, without exhausting the human facilitators.
It’s striking how this addresses the classic pitfalls identified in hackathon critiques: sustainability and follow-through. In the agentic model, hackathons are no longer isolated bursts. They can connect to each other (winning teams from one hackathon can enter an accelerator or another hackathon next month). BUIDL AI can track teams and help link them with funding opportunities, closing the loop that used to leave projects orphaned after the event. A great project doesn’t die on Sunday night; it’s funneled into the next stage automatically (perhaps an AI even suggests which grant to apply for, which partner to talk to). This way, innovations have a life beyond the demo day, systematically.
We should also recognize a more philosophical benefit: the culture of innovation becomes more experimental, meritocratic, and fast-paced. In a world of agentic hackathons, the motto is “Why not prototype it? Why not try it now?” – because spinning up the environment to do so is quick and cheap. This mindset can permeate organizations and communities, making them more agile and bold. The cost of failure is low (a few weeks of effort), and the potential upside is enormous (finding the next big breakthrough). It creates a safe sandbox for disruptive ideas – addressing the Innovator’s Dilemma by structurally giving space to those ‘toy’ ideas to prove themselves [5]. Companies no longer have to choose between core business and experimentation; they can allocate a continuous hackathon track to the latter. In effect, DoraHacks and BUIDL AI have built an innovation factory – one that any visionary leader can rent for the weekend (or the whole year).
From Like Button to Liftoff: Hackathons as the Cradle of Innovation
To truly appreciate this new era, it’s worth reflecting on how many game-changing innovations started as hackathon projects or hackathon-like experiments – often despite the old constraints – and how much more we can expect when those constraints are removed. History is full of examples that validate the hackathon model of innovation:
Facebook’s DNA was shaped by hackathons
Mark Zuckerberg himself has credited the company’s internal hackathons for some of Facebook’s most important features. The Like button, Facebook Chat, and Timeline all famously emerged from engineers pulling all-nighters at hackathons [1]. An intern’s hackathon prototype for tagging people in comments was shipped to a billion users just two weeks later [1]. Facebook’s ethos “Move fast and break things” was practically the hackathon ethos formalized. It is no stretch to say Facebook won over MySpace in the 2000s because its culture of rapid innovation (fueled by hackathons) let it out-innovate its rival [1]. If hackathons did that within one company, imagine a worldwide network of hackathons – the pace of innovation everywhere could resemble that hypergrowth.
Google and the 20% Project
Google has long encouraged employees to spend 20% of time on side projects, which is a cousin of the hackathon idea – unstructured exploration. Gmail and Google News were born this way. Additionally, Google has hosted public hackathons around its APIs (like Android hackathons) that spurred the creation of countless apps. The point is, Google institutionalized hacker-style experimentation and reaped huge rewards. With agentic hackathons, even companies without Google’s resources can institutionalize experimentation. Every weekend can be a 20% time for the world’s devs using these platforms.
Open Source Movements
Open Source Movements have benefitted from hackathons (“code sprints”) to develop critical software. The entire OpenBSD operating system had regular hackathons that were essential to its development [3]. In more recent times, projects like Node.js or TensorFlow have organized hackathons to build libraries and tools. The result: stronger ecosystems and engaged contributors. DoraHacks embraces this, positioning itself as “the leading global hackathon community and open source developer incentive platform” [17]. The synergy of open source and hackathons (both decentralized, community-driven, merit-based) is a powerful engine. We can foresee open source projects launching always-on hackathons via BUIDL AI to continuously fix bugs, add features, and reward contributors. This could rejuvenate the open source world by providing incentives (through hackathon prizes) and recognition in a structured way.
The Startup World
The Startup World has hackathons to thank for many startups. We’ve mentioned Carousell (from a Startup Weekend hackathon, now valued over $1B [2]) and EasyTaxi (Startup Weekend Rio, went on to raise $75M [2]). Add to that list Zapier (integrations startup, conceived at a hackathon), GroupMe (acquired by Skype as noted), Instacart (an early version won a hackathon at Y Combinator Demo Day, legend has it), and numerous crypto startups (the founders of Ethereum itself met and collaborated through hackathons and Bitcoin meetups!). When Coinbase wants to find the next big thing in on-chain AI, they host a hackathon [15]. When Stripe wanted more apps on its payments platform, it ran hackathons and distributed bounties. This model just works. It identifies passionate builders and gives them a springboard. With agentic hackathons, that springboard is super-sized. It’s always there, and it can catch far more people. The funnel widens, so expect even more startups to originate from hackathons. It’s quite plausible that the biggest company of the 2030s won’t be founded in a garage – it will be born out of an online hackathon, formed by a team that met in a Discord server, guided by an AI facilitator, and funded within weeks on a platform like DoraHacks. In other words, the garage is going global and AI-powered.
Hackers & Painters – The Creative Connection
Paul Graham, in Hackers & Painters, drew an analogy between hacking and painting as creative endeavors [16]. Hackathons are where that creative energy concentrates and explodes. Many great programmers will tell you their most inspired work happened in a hackathon or skunkworks setting – free of bureaucratic restraints, in a flow state of creation. By scaling and multiplying hackathons, we are effectively amplifying the global creative capacity. We might recall the Renaissance when artists and inventors thrived under patronage and in gatherings – hackathons are the modern Renaissance workshops. They combine art, science, and enterprise. The likes of Leonardo da Vinci would have been right at home in a hackathon (he was notorious for prototyping like a madman). In fact, consider how hackathons embody the solution to the Innovator’s Dilemma: they encourage working on projects that seem small or “not worth it” to incumbents, which is exactly where disruptive innovation often hides [5]. By institutionalizing hackathons, DoraHacks is institutionalizing disruption – making sure the next Netflix or Airbnb isn’t missed because someone shrugged it off as a toy.
We’ve gone from a time when hackathons were rare and local to a time when they are global and constant. This is a pivotal change in the innovation infrastructure of the world. In the 19th century, we built railroads and telegraphs that accelerated the Industrial Revolution, connecting markets and minds. In the 20th century, we built the internet and the World Wide Web, unleashing the Information Revolution. Now, in the 21st century, DoraHacks and BUIDL AI are building the “Innovation Highway” – a persistent, AI-enabled network connecting problem-solvers to problems, talent to opportunities, capital to ideas, across the entire globe, in real time. It’s an infrastructure for innovation itself.
A Grand Vision: The New Infrastructure of Global Innovation
We stand at an inflection point. With DoraHacks and the advent of agentic hackathons, innovation is no longer confined to ivory labs, Silicon Valley offices, or once-a-year events. It is becoming a continuous global activity – an arena where the best minds and the boldest ideas meet, anytime, anywhere. This is a future where innovation is as ubiquitous as Wi-Fi and as relentless as Moore’s Law. It’s a future DoraHacks is actively building, and the implications are profound.
Picture a world a few years from now, where DoraHacks+BUIDL AI is the default backbone for innovation programs across industries. This platform is buzzing 24/7 with hackathons on everything from AI-driven healthcare to climate-change mitigation to new frontiers of art and entertainment. It’s not just for coders – designers, entrepreneurs, scientists, anyone with creative impulse plugs into this network. An entrepreneur in London has a business idea at 2 AM; by 2:15 AM, she’s on DoraHacks launching a 48-hour hackathon to prototype it, with AI coordinating a team of collaborators from four different continents. Sounds crazy? It will be commonplace. A government in Asia faces a sudden environmental crisis; they host an urgent hackathon via BUIDL AI and within days have dozens of actionable tech solutions from around the world. A venture fund in New York essentially “outsources” part of its research to the hackathon cloud – instead of merely requesting pitch decks, they sponsor open hackathons to see real prototypes first. This is agentic innovation in action – fast, borderless, and intelligent.
In this coming era, DoraHacks will be as fundamental to innovation as GitHub is to code or as AWS is to startups. It’s the platform where innovation lives. One might even call it the “GitHub of Innovation” – a social and technical layer where projects are born, not just stored. Already, DoraHacks calls itself “the global hacker movement” [17], and with BUIDL AI it becomes the autopilot of that movement. It’s fitting to think of it as part of the global public infrastructure for innovation. Just as highways move goods and the internet moves information, DoraHacks moves innovation itself – carrying ideas from inception to implementation at high speed.
When history looks back at the 2020s, the arrival of continuous, AI-driven hackathons will be seen as a key development in how humanity innovates. The vision is grand, but very tangible: Innovation becomes an everlasting hackathon. Think of it – the hacker ethos spreading into every corner of society, an eternal challenge to the status quo, constantly asking “How can we improve this? How can we reinvent that?” and immediately rallying the talent to do it. This is not chaos; it’s a new form of organized, decentralized R&D. It’s a world where any bold question – “Can we cure this disease? Can we educate children better? Can we make cities sustainable?” – can trigger a global hackathon and yield answers in days or weeks, not years. A world where innovation isn’t a scarce resource, jealously guarded by few, but a common good, an open tournament where the best solution wins, whether it comes from a Stanford PhD or a self-taught coder in Lagos.
If this sounds idealistic, consider how far we’ve come: Hackathons went from obscure coder meetups to the engine behind billion-dollar businesses and critical global tech (Bitcoin itself is a product of hacker culture!). With DoraHacks’s growth and BUIDL AI’s leap, the trajectory is set for hackathons to become continuous and ubiquitous. The technology and model are in place. It’s now about execution and adoption. And the trend is already accelerating – more companies are embracing open innovation, more developers are working remotely and participating in online communities, and AI is rapidly advancing as a co-pilot in all creative endeavors.
DoraHacks finds itself at the center of this transformation. It has the first-mover advantage, the community, and the vision. The company’s ethos is telling: “Funding the everlasting hacker movement” is one of their slogans [18]. They see hackathons as not just events but a movement that must be everlasting – a permanent revolution of the mind. With BUIDL AI, DoraHacks is providing the engine to make it everlasting. This hints at a future where DoraHacks+BUIDL AI is part of the critical infrastructure of global innovation, akin to a utility. It’s the innovation grid, and when you plug into it, magic happens.
Marc Andreessen’s writings often speak about “building a better future” with almost manifest destiny fervor. In that spirit, one can boldly assert: Agentic hackathons will build our future, faster and better. They will accelerate solutions to humanity’s toughest challenges by tapping a broader talent pool and iterating faster than ever. They will empower individuals – giving every creative mind on the planet the tools, community, and opportunity to make a real impact, immediately, not someday. This is deeply democratizing. It resonates with the ethos of the early internet – permissionless innovation. DoraHacks is bringing that ethos to structured innovation events and stretching them into an ongoing fabric.
In conclusion, we are witnessing a paradigm shift: Hackathons reinvented, innovation unchained. The limitations of the old model are gone, replaced by a new paradigm where hackathons are high-frequency, AI-augmented, and outcome-oriented. DoraHacks led this charge in the 2020–2024 period, and with BUIDL AI, it’s launching the next chapter – the Age of Agentic Innovation. For investors and visionaries, this is a call to action. We often talk about investing in “infrastructure” – well, this is investing in the infrastructure of innovation itself. Backing DoraHacks and its mission is akin to backing the builders of a transcontinental railroad or an interstate highway, except this time the cargo is ideas and breakthroughs. The network effects are enormous: every additional hackathon and participant adds value to the whole ecosystem, in a compounding way. It’s a positive-sum game of innovation. And DoraHacks is poised to be the platform and the community that captures and delivers that value globally.
DoraHacks reinvented hackathons – it turned hackathons from sporadic stunts into a sustained methodology for innovation. In doing so, it has thrown open the gates to an era where innovation can be agentic: self-driving, self-organizing, and ceaseless. We are at the dawn of this new age. It’s an age where, indeed, “he who has the developers has the world” [14] – and DoraHacks is making sure that every developer, every hacker, every dreamer anywhere can contribute to shaping our collective future. The grand vista ahead is one of continuous invention and discovery, powered by a global hive mind of hackers and guided by AI. DoraHacks and BUIDL AI stand at the helm of this movement, as the architects of the “innovation rails” on which we’ll ride. It’s not just a platform, it’s a revolutionary infrastructure – the new railroad, the new highway system for ideas. Buckle up, because with DoraHacks driving, the age of agentic innovation has arrived, and the future is hurtling toward us at hackathon speed. The hackathon never ends – and that is how we will invent a better world.

2025-04-26 03:11:37หลังจากที่เราได้ทราบถึงโครงการ School Plates กันไปแล้ว วันนี้เรามาทำความรู้จักกับ ProVeg ผู้ที่อยู่เบื้องหลังโปรเจค School Plates กันครับ
ProVeg International เส้นทางสู่การเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโลก
ProVeg International เป็นองค์กรไม่แสวงหาผลกำไรระดับโลกที่ก่อตั้งขึ้นในปี 2017 โดยมีเป้าหมายหลักในการลดการบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์ลง 50% ภายในปี 2040 และแทนที่ด้วยอาหารจากพืชและอาหารที่เพาะเลี้ยงในห้องปฏิบัติการ
องค์กรนี้มีจุดเริ่มต้นจากการรวมตัวของกลุ่มองค์กรด้านอาหารจากพืชในหลายประเทศ เช่น เยอรมนี (ProVeg Deutschland), เนเธอร์แลนด์ (ProVeg Nederland ซึ่งเดิมคือ Viva Las Vega's), โปแลนด์, สหราชอาณาจักร และสเปน โดยมี Sebastian Joy เป็นผู้ร่วมก่อตั้งและดำรงตำแหน่งประธานคนแรกขององค์กร
ProVeg International มุ่งเน้นการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโลกผ่านการให้ข้อมูล การสนับสนุน และการรณรงค์ต่าง ๆ เพื่อส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืช องค์กรทำงานร่วมกับหน่วยงานรัฐบาล บริษัทเอกชน นักลงทุน สื่อมวลชน และสาธารณชน เพื่อผลักดันให้เกิดการเปลี่ยนแปลงในระดับระบบ
โครงการที่เริ่มไปแล้ว ProVeg Incubator หนึ่งในโครงการที่สำคัญของ ProVeg คือ "ProVeg Incubator" ซึ่งเป็นโปรแกรมสนับสนุนสตาร์ทอัพด้านอาหารจากพืชและอาหารที่เพาะเลี้ยงในห้องปฏิบัติการ โดยให้การสนับสนุนทั้งด้านเงินทุน การให้คำปรึกษา และเครือข่ายความร่วมมือ เพื่อเร่งการพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์และการเข้าสู่ตลาด
ตั้งแต่เปิดตัวในปี 2018 ProVeg Incubator ได้สนับสนุนสตาร์ทอัพกว่า 40 รายจาก 20 ประเทศ ช่วยให้พวกเขาระดมทุนได้มากกว่า 8 ล้านยูโร และเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์กว่า 40 รายการ
สำหรับความพยายามในการล็อบบี้ นั้น ProVeg International มีบทบาทสำคัญในการล็อบบี้เพื่อส่งเสริมอาหารจากพืชในระดับนโยบาย โดยเฉพาะในสหภาพยุโรป ตัวอย่างผลงานที่โด่งดังมากคือ
"การต่อต้านการห้ามใช้ชื่อผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืช" ในเดือนพฤษภาคม 2019 คณะกรรมาธิการการเกษตรและการพัฒนาชนบท (Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development) ของรัฐสภายุโรปได้เสนอการแก้ไขในหมวด - Amendment 165 ซึ่งจะห้ามใช้ชื่อที่สื่อถึงเนื้อสัตว์ กับผลิตภัณฑ์ทางเลือกจากพืช (เช่น “vegetarian sausage”, “soy schnitzel” ฯลฯ) และ - Amendment 171 ซึ่งจะขยายไปถึงผลิตภัณฑ์ทดแทนผลิตภัณฑ์นม (เช่น “yoghurt-style”, “vegan cheese”, “almond milk”) โดยทั้งหมดนี้ใช้เหตุผลว่าอาจทำให้ผู้บริโภคสับสน
ProVeg International ร่วมกับองค์กรอื่น ๆ เช่น IKEA และ Compassion in World Farming และบริษัทผู้ผลิตนมจากพืชอย่าง "Oatly" ได้รณรงค์ต่อต้านข้อเสนอเหล่านี้ รวมถึงการยื่นจดหมายถึงสมาชิกรัฐสภายุโรปและการจัดทำคำร้องออนไลน์ ซึ่งได้รับลายเซ็นมากกว่า 150,000 รายชื่อภายในเวลาไม่กี่วัน
ผลการโหวตวันที่ 23 ตุลาคม 2020 รัฐสภายุโรปลงมติ ปฏิเสธ Amendment 165 และไม่ยอมรับข้อเสนอห้ามใช้คำว่า “burger” “sausages” ในผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืช ส่วน Amendment 171 ถูกเลื่อนออกไป และสุดท้ายเมื่อเดือนพฤษภาคม 2021 ก็ถูกถอนออกจากการพิจารณา (withdrawn) อย่างเป็นทางการ ซึ่งถือเป็นชัยชนะของขบวนการ “stop plant-based censorship”
พูดง่ายๆคือ ProVeg International ต่อต้านการห้ามใช้ชื่อผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืชทั้งสองฉบับ (165 และ 171) ประสบความสำเร็จทั้งหมด !!!!!!
"การเรียกร้องแผนปฏิบัติการอาหารจากพืชของสหภาพยุโรป" ในปี 2023 ProVeg International ร่วมกับองค์กรกว่า 130 แห่ง เรียกร้องให้สหภาพยุโรปจัดทำแผนปฏิบัติการอาหารจากพืชภายในปี 2026 เพื่อส่งเสริมการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารสู่ความยั่งยืน
นอกจากนี้ ProVeg ยังได้รับการยอมรับในระดับนานาชาติ โดยได้รับสถานะผู้สังเกตการณ์ถาวรจากกรอบอนุสัญญาสหประชาชาติว่าด้วยการเปลี่ยนแปลงสภาพภูมิอากาศ (UNFCCC) รวมถึง ProVeg ได้รับรางวัล United Nations' Momentum for Change Award และทำงานอย่างใกล้ชิดกับหน่วยงานอาหารและสิ่งแวดล้อมที่สำคัญของ UN และเป็นสมาชิกของศูนย์และเครือข่ายเทคโนโลยีด้านสภาพภูมิอากาศ (CTCN)
ด้วยวิสัยทัศน์ที่ชัดเจนและการดำเนินงานที่ครอบคลุม ProVeg International ได้กลายเป็นหนึ่งในองค์กรชั้นนำที่ขับเคลื่อนการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโลก
ในส่วนของสตาร์ทอัพภายใต้การสนับสนุนของ ProVeg Incubator ได้สนับสนุนสตาร์ทอัพที่มีนวัตกรรมและศักยภาพสูงหลายราย เช่น Formo: บริษัทจากเยอรมนีที่ผลิตชีสจากการหมักจุลินทรีย์ (precision fermentation) โดยไม่ใช้สัตว์ Remilk: บริษัทจากอิสราเอลที่ผลิตนมจากการหมักจุลินทรีย์ โดยไม่ใช้วัว Cultimate Foods: บริษัทที่พัฒนาไขมันจากเซลล์สัตว์เพื่อใช้ในผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืช Infinite Roots: บริษัทที่ใช้เทคโนโลยีการเพาะเลี้ยงไมซีเลียม (mycelium) เพื่อผลิตโปรตีนทางเลือก Kern Tec: บริษัทที่ใช้เมล็ดผลไม้ที่เหลือจากอุตสาหกรรมอาหารเพื่อผลิตน้ำมันและโปรตีน
และยังมีอีกร่วมๆ กว่า 40 รายจาก 20 ประเทศ ที่เป็นกองกำลังสำคัญในการพัฒนาอาหารอนาคตให้กับ ProVeg เพื่อขยายปีกในการครอบครองตลาดนี้เพื่อความยั่งยืน(ของใคร?)
คำถามที่น่าสนใจ ใครคือ Sebastian Joy ทำไมเขาสร้างองค์กรมาได้ขนาดนี้ Sebastian Joy เป็นคนเยอรมันครับ เขาไม่ใช่แค่คนที่สนใจอาหารจากพืชเฉย ๆ แต่เขาเป็นนักคิด นักเคลื่อนไหว และนักเชื่อมโยงระดับอินเตอร์ฯ ที่เปลี่ยนจากการรณรงค์เฉพาะกลุ่ม ไปสู่การสร้าง "ระบบนิเวศ" ของการเปลี่ยนแปลงพฤติกรรมการกินระดับโลกได้อย่างจริงจัง
ในเว็บไซต์ส่วนตัวของ Sebastian Joy ได้ขึ้นประโยคแรกว่าเขาเป็น Serial Social Entrepreneur working to transform the global food system
นั่นหมายถึงว่า ในโลกที่อาหารกลายเป็นเครื่องมือทางอำนาจ และแนวคิด "กินดีเพื่อโลก" ถูกผลักดันอย่างแข็งขันผ่านโครงการระดับโลก หนึ่งในผู้เล่นสำคัญที่อยู่เบื้องหลังกระแสนี้คือชายชื่อ Sebastian Joy ผู้ซึ่งไม่ได้เพียงเป็นนักเคลื่อนไหว แต่เป็น Serial Social Entrepreneur หรือ นักสร้างสรรค์องค์กรเพื่อสังคมต่อเนื่อง ที่มีวิสัยทัศน์ใหญ่ เปลี่ยนระบบอาหารของโลกทั้งใบ
ตลอดกว่า 20 ปีที่ผ่านมา Sebastian ไม่ได้เพียงแค่เปิดองค์กรหรือรณรงค์ทั่วไป แต่เขาเป็นผู้ผลักดันการถือกำเนิดขององค์กรไม่แสวงกำไร โครงการเร่งรัดธุรกิจเพื่อสังคม แพลตฟอร์มความร่วมมือ และเวทีระดับนานาชาติหลายสิบแห่งที่เกี่ยวกับอาหารจากพืช เขาคือผู้ก่อตั้งและประธานของ ProVeg International องค์กรที่อ้างว่าเป็น "องค์กรชั้นนำของโลกด้านความตระหนักเรื่องอาหาร" โดยมีเป้าหมายชัดเจนในการลดการบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์ลงอย่างเป็นระบบ
แต่บทบาทของเขาไม่ได้หยุดแค่การปลุกกระแสสุขภาพ เขาเป็นผู้อยู่เบื้องหลังงานแสดงสินค้า VeggieWorld ซึ่งกลายเป็นซีรีส์มหกรรมอาหารวีแกนที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในโลก และยังร่วมก่อตั้ง Animal and Vegan Advocacy Summit เวทีระดับนานาชาติสำหรับนักเคลื่อนไหวสายวีแกน
Sebastian ยังเป็นผู้ร่วมก่อตั้ง incubator แห่งแรกของโลก สำหรับสตาร์ทอัพที่ทำอาหารจากพืชและเนื้อเพาะเลี้ยง และเป็นผู้ผลักดันโปรแกรม Kickstarting for Good ที่เน้นเร่งรัดองค์กรไม่แสวงกำไรให้เดินเกมได้เร็วขึ้นด้วยโมเดลธุรกิจที่ยั่งยืน
นอกจากนี้ เขายังเป็นพาร์ตเนอร์ของ V-Label International (ฉลากมังสวิรัติที่มีอิทธิพลที่สุดในยุโรป), เป็นเมนเทอร์ในโครงการ Charity Entrepreneurship, และอดีตอาจารย์ด้าน Social Entrepreneurship ที่ Berlin School of Economics and Law
ผลงานของเขาและองค์กรได้รับรางวัลระดับนานาชาติหลายรายการ รวมถึงรางวัล Momentum for Change จากสหประชาชาติ ซึ่งถือเป็นเครื่องยืนยันว่า "แผนปฏิบัติการเปลี่ยนโลกผ่านจานอาหาร" ของเขาไม่ได้เป็นเพียงอุดมคติ แต่เป็นแผนที่กำลังถูกปักหมุดทั่วโลก
ย้อนกลับไปก่อนปี 2017 Sebastian เป็นผู้อำนวยการของ VEBU ซึ่งเป็นองค์กรอาหารจากพืชที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในเยอรมนี (VEBU ย่อมาจาก Vegetarierbund Deutschland) และเขาเองก็อยู่ในวงการนี้มาตั้งแต่ยุคที่การกิน plant-based ยังถูกมองว่าเป็นเรื่อง fringe หรือนอกกระแสเลยด้วยซ้ำ
เหตุผลที่เขาเริ่ม ProVeg International แล้วมัน “ไปไกล” ได้ ผมขมวดให้เป็นข้อๆเพื่อความง่ายต่อการเข้าใจประมาณนี้ครับ
-
Sebastian ไม่ใช่แค่นักกิจกรรม เขาคือนักกลยุทธ์ เขาไม่พอใจแค่การแจกโบรชัวร์หรือชวนคนงดเนื้อวันจันทร์ (จำตัวนี้ไว้ดีๆนะครับ จะมาเล่าภายหลัง) แต่เขามองระดับ “ระบบ” มองว่าโครงสร้างใหญ่ของ นโยบาย สื่อ เศรษฐกิจ การลงทุน มหาวิทยาลัย และซัพพลายเชนอาหาร ล้วนต้องเปลี่ยนไปพร้อมกัน เขาเลยสร้าง ProVeg ขึ้นมาเป็น “แพลตฟอร์มเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบ” ไม่ใช่แค่องค์กร NGO ธรรมดา
-
เขาสร้างพันธมิตรเก่ง Sebastian มีวิธีคุยกับนักลงทุนได้ เข้าใจ startup ได้ คุยกับผู้กำหนดนโยบาย EU ได้ และคุยกับผู้บริโภคได้ด้วย เรียกว่าพูดได้หลายภาษา (ทั้งภาษาคนและภาษายุทธศาสตร์) ทำให้ ProVeg ขยับตัวแบบ agile มาก และข้ามพรมแดนได้ไว ลงลึกถึงจิตใจเหล่า startup ได้แบบพวกเดียวกัน เป็นสตีฟ จ็อบส์ ที่เฟรนด์ลี่ เลยอ่ะ
-
มองอาหารจากพืชเป็น “โอกาส” ไม่ใช่ “การเสียสละ” แนวคิดที่เขาผลักดันคือ “ทำยังไงให้การกิน plant-based เป็นเรื่องสนุก มีรสชาติ มีนวัตกรรม และทำให้คนทั่วไปเลือกโดยไม่รู้สึกว่ากำลังงดของอร่อย ทำให้คนเลือกโดยที่ไม่รู้ตัวว่าถูกกำหนดเส้นทางให้เลือก” เขาจึงให้ความสำคัญกับ startup สายอาหารและเทคโนโลยีอาหารมาก มากจนกลายมาเป็นโครงการ ProVeg Incubator กองกำลังอาหารอนาคต นั่นแหละครับ
คำพูดหนึ่งของ Sebastian ที่ถูกนำมากล่าวถึงบ่อยๆคือ It’s easy to judge the mistakes of parents or grandparents, but what are going to be the mistakes that our future grandchildren will judge us by?
เขาไม่ได้ต้องการแค่ทำให้มี “เบอร์เกอร์ที่ไม่มีเนื้อ” แต่เขาต้องการเปลี่ยนทั้งระบบอาหารให้สะท้อนค่านิยมใหม่ เหมือนที่มีการพยายามจะสะท้อนมูฟนี้ไว้ว่า
“They are not just replacing products. They are building a food system that reflects their values.”
และวิศัยทัศน์ซึ่งเขาได้อธิบายถึงแนวทางของ ProVeg ว่าไม่ได้มุ่งเน้นเฉพาะเรื่องสวัสดิภาพสัตว์เท่านั้น แต่เป็นการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโดยรวม เพื่อประโยชน์ต่อรสชาติ สุขภาพ ความยุติธรรม สัตว์ และสิ่งแวดล้อม We don’t frame ourselves as an animal charity but as a food awareness organisation.

2025-04-25 19:26:48Redistributing Git with Nostr
Every time someone tries to "decentralize" Git -- like many projects tried in the past to do it with BitTorrent, IPFS, ScuttleButt or custom p2p protocols -- there is always a lurking comment: "but Git is already distributed!", and then the discussion proceeds to mention some facts about how Git supports multiple remotes and its magic syncing and merging abilities and so on.
Turns out all that is true, Git is indeed all that powerful, and yet GitHub is the big central hub that hosts basically all Git repositories in the giant world of open-source. There are some crazy people that host their stuff elsewhere, but these projects end up not being found by many people, and even when they do they suffer from lack of contributions.
Because everybody has a GitHub account it's easy to open a pull request to a repository of a project you're using if it's on GitHub (to be fair I think it's very annoying to have to clone the repository, then add it as a remote locally, push to it, then go on the web UI and click to open a pull request, then that cloned repository lurks forever in your profile unless you go through 16 screens to delete it -- but people in general seem to think it's easy).
It's much harder to do it on some random other server where some project might be hosted, because now you have to add 4 more even more annoying steps: create an account; pick a password; confirm an email address; setup SSH keys for pushing. (And I'm not even mentioning the basic impossibility of offering
push
access to external unknown contributors to people who want to host their own simple homemade Git server.)At this point some may argue that we could all have accounts on GitLab, or Codeberg or wherever else, then those steps are removed. Besides not being a practical strategy this pseudo solution misses the point of being decentralized (or distributed, who knows) entirely: it's far from the ideal to force everybody to have the double of account management and SSH setup work in order to have the open-source world controlled by two shady companies instead of one.
What we want is to give every person the opportunity to host their own Git server without being ostracized. at the same time we must recognize that most people won't want to host their own servers (not even most open-source programmers!) and give everybody the ability to host their stuff on multi-tenant servers (such as GitHub) too. Importantly, though, if we allow for a random person to have a standalone Git server on a standalone server they host themselves on their wood cabin that also means any new hosting company can show up and start offering Git hosting, with or without new cool features, charging high or low or zero, and be immediately competing against GitHub or GitLab, i.e. we must remove the network-effect centralization pressure.
External contributions
The first problem we have to solve is: how can Bob contribute to Alice's repository without having an account on Alice's server?
SourceHut has reminded GitHub users that Git has always had this (for most) arcane
git send-email
command that is the original way to send patches, using an once-open protocol.Turns out Nostr acts as a quite powerful email replacement and can be used to send text content just like email, therefore patches are a very good fit for Nostr event contents.
Once you get used to it and the proper UIs (or CLIs) are built sending and applying patches to and from others becomes a much easier flow than the intense clickops mixed with terminal copypasting that is interacting with GitHub (you have to clone the repository on GitHub, then update the remote URL in your local directory, then create a branch and then go back and turn that branch into a Pull Request, it's quite tiresome) that many people already dislike so much they went out of their way to build many GitHub CLI tools just so they could comment on issues and approve pull requests from their terminal.
Replacing GitHub features
Aside from being the "hub" that people use to send patches to other people's code (because no one can do the email flow anymore, justifiably), GitHub also has 3 other big features that are not directly related to Git, but that make its network-effect harder to overcome. Luckily Nostr can be used to create a new environment in which these same features are implemented in a more decentralized and healthy way.
Issues: bug reports, feature requests and general discussions
Since the "Issues" GitHub feature is just a bunch of text comments it should be very obvious that Nostr is a perfect fit for it.
I will not even mention the fact that Nostr is much better at threading comments than GitHub (which doesn't do it at all), which can generate much more productive and organized discussions (and you can opt out if you want).
Search
I use GitHub search all the time to find libraries and projects that may do something that I need, and it returns good results almost always. So if people migrated out to other code hosting providers wouldn't we lose it?
The fact is that even though we think everybody is on GitHub that is a globalist falsehood. Some projects are not on GitHub, and if we use only GitHub for search those will be missed. So even if we didn't have a Nostr Git alternative it would still be necessary to create a search engine that incorporated GitLab, Codeberg, SourceHut and whatnot.
Turns out on Nostr we can make that quite easy by not forcing anyone to integrate custom APIs or hardcoding Git provider URLs: each repository can make itself available by publishing an "announcement" event with a brief description and one or more Git URLs. That makes it easy for a search engine to index them -- and even automatically download the code and index the code (or index just README files or whatever) without a centralized platform ever having to be involved.
The relays where such announcements will be available play a role, of course, but that isn't a bad role: each announcement can be in multiple relays known for storing "public good" projects, some relays may curate only projects known to be very good according to some standards, other relays may allow any kind of garbage, which wouldn't make them good for a search engine to rely upon, but would still be useful in case one knows the exact thing (and from whom) they're searching for (the same is valid for all Nostr content, by the way, and that's where it's censorship-resistance comes from).
Continuous integration
GitHub Actions are a very hardly subsidized free-compute-for-all-paid-by-Microsoft feature, but one that isn't hard to replace at all. In fact there exists today many companies offering the same kind of service out there -- although they are mostly targeting businesses and not open-source projects, before GitHub Actions was introduced there were also many that were heavily used by open-source projects.
One problem is that these services are still heavily tied to GitHub today, they require a GitHub login, sometimes BitBucket and GitLab and whatnot, and do not allow one to paste an arbitrary Git server URL, but that isn't a thing that is very hard to change anyway, or to start from scratch. All we need are services that offer the CI/CD flows, perhaps using the same framework of GitHub Actions (although I would prefer to not use that messy garbage), and charge some few satoshis for it.
It may be the case that all the current services only support the big Git hosting platforms because they rely on their proprietary APIs, most notably the webhooks dispatched when a repository is updated, to trigger the jobs. It doesn't have to be said that Nostr can also solve that problem very easily.

2025-04-25 06:22:27CHAPTER TWELVE
"Who in the world is knocking like that?" Susan grumbled as she approached the front door, the loud thud clearly interrupting her peaceful afternoon.
She swung the door open sharply and immediately, her face twisted with disdain.
"You again?" she spat with venom. "What are you doing here, James? Haven’t you embarrassed this family enough?"
James stood calmly at the threshold, wearing his usual tattered and weathered clothes. His expression was composed, though his eyes revealed the exhaustion of someone who had endured too much for too long.
"I just wanted to see Rita," he said quietly, his voice tinged with longing but not weakness.
Susan laughed, cold and cruel. "See Rita? Dressed like that? You look like you crawled out of a dumpster. Don’t you have any shame? This isn’t the street where you beg for leftovers. It’s the Ray residence!"
Before James could utter another word, Susan, holding a glass of water in her hand, flung it into his face with disgust. The icy splash soaked his shirt and clung to his skin. The suddenness of it made him flinch, but he didn’t retaliate.
"And if I see you here again, I’ll make sure you’re dragged out by your ears!" she hissed.
The commotion quickly drew the attention of Helen, Rita’s mother, who stormed to the door with a glare.
"What is going on here, Susan? Why are you shouting like" She stopped abruptly when she saw James standing there, drenched and still calm. Her eyes narrowed.
"Oh, it’s you," she scoffed. "What do you want now, you jobless disgrace? Coming here to leech again?"
"Mother, please, I" James tried to explain.
"Don’t call me that! I’m not your mother, and you are no longer part of this family!" Helen shrieked, before pulling out her phone. "I'm calling the police right now. You need to be removed from this property permanently!"
Inside the house, Rita heard the shouting and came rushing downstairs, her heart dropping when she saw her husband standing like a soaked stray dog at their doorstep, humiliation written all over his face.
"James… please," she whispered as she gently approached him. "Just go. Not like this. Not today."
His eyes met hers, and for a moment, his resolve wavered. He had come to see her, to remember what home used to feel like. But this place no longer felt like home.
Moments later, a patrol car pulled into the driveway. Two officers stepped out, firm and ready for confrontation. The lead officer, tall and broad-shouldered, approached the group until his eyes landed on James.
There was a brief pause.
Then, the officer’s face lit up with recognition. "Master James!" he exclaimed, breaking into a wide smile as he stepped forward and embraced him like an old friend.
Susan and Helen’s jaws nearly hit the ground.
"Kenneth?" James blinked in surprise.
"Yes, sir! It’s me Kenneth. Do you remember? You helped me when my son needed surgery, even when you had nothing! I’ll never forget that. What happened here? Who did this to you?" Kenneth’s voice shifted into concern as he noticed James’s soaked shirt.
"It’s fine," James said, managing a small smile. "Don’t make trouble here. It’s not worth it. Please… let it go. For my wife’s sake."
Kenneth frowned, clearly not happy, but he respected James too much to argue. He turned toward Helen and Susan, his tone now sharp and professional.
"You’re lucky he’s a merciful man," he said coldly. "Because if it were up to me, you’d both be charged with public harassment."
He gave James one last look, a mixture of respect and sorrow, before turning back to the car.
James stood for a few seconds longer, then nodded to Rita before stepping away, leaving the house that had long stopped being a home.
As the police car disappeared into the distance, Susan muttered under her breath, "How does someone like him even know the head of patrol?"
"Are you sure this is everything?" Lisa asked her assistant, checking through the neatly packaged folder she held in her manicured hand.
"Yes, ma’am. That’s the most outstanding project we have. If JP Enterprises approves, it could breathe life into Ray Enterprises again," the assistant replied.
Lisa gave a satisfied nod and stepped into the driver’s seat of the sleek black SUV. As the assistant secretary of Ray Enterprises, this was her chance to make an impression that could fast-track her rise to the top. Promotion was within reach if this proposal went well.
It was early afternoon when she arrived at the imposing glass building of JP Enterprises. The logo gleamed under the sun, a symbol of unmatched success and prestige. She walked briskly through the entrance, heels clicking confidently on the marble floor, and introduced herself to the front desk staff.
"I’m here to see the President of JP Enterprises. I represent Ray Enterprises and have a proposal that demands his attention," she declared with poise.
The general secretary, seated calmly at the reception, glanced up and gave her a professional smile. "The President is currently away from his office. You may have to wait a bit. Would you prefer to sit here, or would you like to be notified upon his return?"
Lisa gave a nod. "I'll wait outside briefly. I left my phone in the car. Kindly notify me once he’s in."
She turned and walked outside. As she approached the parking lot, she noticed a familiar yet irritatingly disheveled figure walking into the building.
James.
He wore his usual plain, faded clothes hardly fitting for someone walking into a place like JP Enterprises. Lisa didn’t hesitate to launch an insult.
"Back again to beg, are we?" she said mockingly, narrowing her eyes as she crossed paths with him. "This isn’t a shelter for street men, James. Some places are just too grand for certain people."
James didn’t respond. He only glanced at her with the calm of a man who knew something she didn’t. Lisa rolled her eyes and headed back to retrieve her phone.
By the time she returned, the secretary informed her, "The President has just returned. You may go in now."
Lisa adjusted her blazer, tucked the folder neatly under her arm, and proceeded toward the private elevator that would take her to the executive floor. She entered the spacious office, ready to deliver her well-rehearsed pitch.
But as she stepped through the grand doors, she froze.
Seated confidently behind the massive desk, dressed in a sleek tailored suit, was James.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"What... what is this?" she stammered.
James looked up slowly, his expression unreadable.
"Miss Lisa," he said smoothly, "I see you’ve come to present a proposal."
She was completely speechless. The same man she had mocked moments ago now sat before her as the very person she came to impress.
"I didn’t know"
"No, you didn’t," James interjected, his tone firm but calm. "Unfortunately, I won’t be reviewing this proposal. JP Enterprises is not interested in any form of collaboration with Ray Enterprises at this time."
"But sir"
"You may leave now, Miss Lisa. Kindly ensure you exit the premises without further disturbance."
He pressed the intercom. "Security, please escort the representative from Ray Enterprises out of the building."
Crushed and humiliated, Lisa nodded awkwardly and backed out of the office, her hands trembling. As she exited the building, every step felt heavier than the last. She had blown her opportunity. Badly.
She drove back in silence, and when she reached Ray Enterprises, she delivered the unpleasant news.
"He rejected the proposal outright," she told the board members, struggling to mask her shaken pride. "I think… he holds something against us. He was cold. Dismissive."
Robert frowned, deeply perplexed. "Why would the President of JP Enterprises be so dismissive without even reviewing the content?"
He mulled it over in silence for a few seconds before his eyes lit up.
"Charles," he muttered to himself.
Everyone in the room turned toward him.
"Charles once introduced me to someone he said would someday become one of the most influential business minds in the country. Maybe he has a connection. Perhaps if I reach out to Charles, he can speak to the President on our behalf."
Without wasting time, Robert made the call. Charles, ever the gentleman, agreed to meet him over dinner the following evening.
The restaurant was quiet, with soft classical music playing in the background as they settled into a private booth. Wine glasses clinked, and after casual pleasantries, Robert finally laid out everything: the rejected proposal, the mounting pressure on Ray Enterprises, and the family’s desperation for investment.
Charles listened patiently.
"I see," he finally said, placing his glass down. "This is… complicated. I can’t make any promises, but I’ll have a conversation with the President myself. He listens to me. I’ll get back to you after we’ve spoken."
Robert gave a sigh of relief. "That’s all I ask."
Charles nodded.
"Let’s hope it’s not too late," he said softly.
"He's agreed to the investment, but there's a condition," Charles said with a steady voice, lowering the phone from his ear.
Christopher sat upright in his chair. "What condition?"
Charles hesitated briefly before responding. "He wants eighty percent ownership of Ray Enterprises in exchange for the investment funds."
The room fell silent.
Christopher’s brows furrowed. "Eighty percent? That’s nearly the entire company!"
"And yet it’s the only lifeline we have left," Nancy chimed in, standing beside Charles. "It’s this... or collapse."
Despite the protests that echoed through the Ray household, the truth was unavoidable the business was crumbling and in dire need of immediate funding. Left with no other viable option, the family begrudgingly accepted the condition and agreed to fix a date when the President of JP Enterprises would arrive in person to finalize the deal.
The day of reckoning came swiftly.
Everyone in Ray Enterprises was on edge. Christopher, Helen, Robert, Susan, and the rest of the executives were already seated in the boardroom. They whispered among themselves, speculating about the identity of the elusive president. No one expected what was to come.
The grand doors creaked open.
Charles entered first, followed closely by Sandra. Then, a third figure walked in calm, composed, and strikingly handsome in an immaculately tailored suit. James.
He carried himself with a quiet authority that immediately drew attention. His posture was upright, his gaze clear and unwavering. Yet the moment the Ray family saw him, chaos erupted.
"What is he doing here?!" Helen spat, her face contorted in fury. "This is a boardroom, not a shelter for the homeless!"
Susan sprang to her feet. "Security! Get this impostor out now!"
But before things spiraled further, Robert rose from his seat and raised a hand.
"Stop!" he commanded, silencing the room. "Before you embarrass yourselves any further, you should know this man is the President of JP Enterprises."
The revelation hit like a thunderclap. Mouths fell open, gasps echoed around the room. Some blinked in disbelief, others stared as if seeing James for the first time.
"Impossible," Helen whispered, shaking her head. "He’s just a... a beggar!"
"He was never what you thought he was," Robert said coolly. "And now, he’s your only chance."
James stepped forward, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"I was prepared to invest and take eighty percent," he began. "But after seeing the way I'm still being treated, I’ve had a change of heart."
He paused, letting the silence weigh heavily.
"I want eighty-five percent now."
The words struck like a blow. The room erupted again in murmurs and disbelief. Helen clenched her fists, fury simmering just beneath the surface.
"You can't be serious," she growled. "You’re trying to rob us"
"I’m offering to save you," James cut in firmly. "This business is days away from total collapse. Take the deal, or lose everything."
Christopher remained silent, his mind racing. The truth was undeniable. Ray Enterprises had no bargaining power left.
"Do we have a deal or not?" James asked again, his voice now tinged with impatience.
Helen opened her mouth to object, but Robert spoke first.
"We accept," he said solemnly.
With no more time to argue, the documents were signed by both parties. Ray Enterprises was now eighty-five percent owned by James, the man they had once called worthless.
But James wasn’t done.
"One more thing," he said, looking directly at Helen. "I know you’re now the general manager, a position handed to you after forcing my wife to step down when she refused to sign those pathetic divorce papers."
Helen stiffened.
"Reinstate Rita as general manager, and I’ll increase the investment to one point one billion dollars. That’s an additional two hundred million for her."
A collective gasp echoed through the room. Helen’s expression soured. She had no choice. Robert nodded after a long pause.
"Consider it done," he said.
Satisfied, James rose. He glanced at Susan, who was suddenly all smiles, her tone syrupy sweet as she tried to engage him in polite conversation. He ignored her completely.
He left the building with his uncle and Sandra, dignity intact, power reclaimed. Later that evening, Helen sat in her room, seething. She dialed a familiar number. When Mark picked up, she wasted no time.
"He’s the President of JP Enterprises, Mark," she hissed. "James owns eighty-five percent of this company now."
Mark was silent for a long while before chuckling bitterly. "So that’s why I was fired... why everything crumbled. No wonder."
Even in their separate storms, they found common ground in one thing hatred for James.
Mark’s eyes darkened. "I swear, Helen. He’ll pay for this."
"We’ll make sure of it," Helen replied, her voice low and vengeful.

2025-04-25 02:19:05วันนี้จะเล่าเรื่องโครงการ School Plates โดย ProVeg UK ให้อ่านครับ
ProVeg UK เปิดตัวโครงการ School Plates ในเดือนมิถุนายน 2018 โดยมีเป้าหมายเพื่อช่วยให้โรงเรียนในสหราชอาณาจักรเสิร์ฟอาหารที่ดีต่อสุขภาพและเป็นมิตรต่อสิ่งแวดล้อมมากขึ้น โครงการนี้มุ่งเน้นการเพิ่มคุณภาพ ปริมาณ และการยอมรับของอาหารจากพืชในเมนูโรงเรียน โดยเฉพาะในโรงเรียนประถมศึกษา ซึ่งส่วนใหญ่จะอยู่ภายใต้การดูแลของหน่วยงานท้องถิ่น
เพื่อการสนับสนุนโครงการ บริการที่ ProVeg UK มอบให้จะประกอบไปด้วย บริการฟรีแก่โรงเรียน หน่วยงานท้องถิ่น และผู้จัดเลี้ยงอาหารโรงเรียน เพื่อสนับสนุนการเปลี่ยนแปลงเมนูอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ บริการเหล่านี้รวมถึง -การให้คำปรึกษาเมนู โดยให้คำแนะนำในการปรับสมดุลเมนู และใช้ภาษาที่ส่งเสริมอาหารจากพืช -การพัฒนาสูตรอาหารใหม่ ช่วยสร้างสูตรอาหารจากพืชที่อร่อย มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการ และเหมาะสมกับครัวโรงเรียน -การจัดเวิร์กช็อปและการฝึกอบรม โดยจัดอบรมทั้งแบบออนไลน์และแบบพบหน้าสำหรับพ่อครัวและเจ้าหน้าที่ครัวโรงเรียน -การวิเคราะห์ด้านสุขภาพ สิ่งแวดล้อม และงบประมาณ มีโปรแกรมประเมินผลกระทบของเมนูต่อสุขภาพเด็ก การปล่อยก๊าซเรือนกระจก และต้นทุน ให้ครบถ้วน
นอกจากนี้ยังมีการจัดรางวัล School Plates Awards: มอบรางวัลระดับ Bronze, Silver และ Gold ให้แก่โรงเรียนที่มีความมุ่งมั่นในการปรับปรุงเมนูอย่างยั่งยืน ด้วย
ผลลัพธ์ตั้งแต่เริ่มโครงการ School Plates ได้เปลี่ยนแปลงเมนูอาหารโรงเรียนมากกว่า 6 ล้านมื้อ ให้กลายเป็นอาหารที่ดีต่อสุขภาพและยั่งยืนมากขึ้น โดยมีการเพิ่มวัน Meat-Free Mondays และตัวเลือกอาหารจากพืชในเมนูประจำวันของโรงเรียนหลายแห่ง
สูตรอาหารที่พัฒนาโดย ProVeg UK มีคุณสมบัติประมาณนี้ครับ -มีโปรตีนเทียบเท่ากับอาหารที่มีเนื้อสัตว์ -มีไขมันอิ่มตัวต่ำกว่า -อุดมไปด้วยไฟเบอร์และสารอาหารที่จำเป็น -มีการปล่อยก๊าซเรือนกระจกต่ำ -สอดคล้องกับมาตรฐานอาหารและโภชนาการของโรงเรียนในสหราชอาณาจักร
นั่นทำให้โครงการ School Plates ได้รับการยอมรับจากโรงเรียนและหน่วยงานท้องถิ่นหลายแห่งในสหราชอาณาจักร และยังได้รับการเสนอชื่อเข้าชิงรางวัลด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมระดับโลก เช่น Food Planet Prize
ทีนี้เรามาวิเคราะห์กันว่า School Plates คือ เมนูรักษ์โลกหรือกับดักระบบ? โครงการ School Plates ของ ProVeg UK ภายนอกดูเหมือนเรื่องดี เป็นการ “ช่วยโรงเรียนให้เปลี่ยนเมนูไปทาง plant-based เพื่อสุขภาพเด็กและโลก” มีการให้คำปรึกษา ทำสูตรอาหาร อบรมพ่อครัว และพูดจาภาษาดี ๆ ว่า "อาหารยั่งยืน" กับ "ทางเลือกที่ดีต่อสุขภาพ" แต่ถ้ามองลึกเข้าไป มันไม่ใช่แค่อาหาร มันคือ เกมเปลี่ยนโครงสร้างการผลิตอาหารในระดับระบบ โดยใช้ “เด็กในโรงเรียน” เป็นจุดตั้งต้น
ถ้าดูเผิน ๆ เราอาจนึกว่าเด็กได้กินผักเยอะขึ้น โลกได้ลดก๊าซเรือนกระจก แต่ถ้าขุดเข้าไป จะเห็นว่าเบื้องหลัง ProVeg UK เชื่อมโยงกับกลุ่มทุน plant-based ขนาดใหญ่ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นผู้ผลิตนมถั่ว เนื้อเทียม หรือบริษัทยีสต์และจุลินทรีย์ที่ใช้ทำโปรตีนหมัก (Precision Fermentation) ทั้งหลาย
และอย่าลืมว่า ProVeg มีพันธมิตรกับองค์กรระดับโลกอย่าง EAT Foundation, World Resources Institute, และกลุ่ม lobby ต่าง ๆ ที่ผลักดัน นโยบายเปลี่ยนอาหารโลก ให้ไปทาง plant-based เป็นหลัก ซึ่งดูดี… ถ้าเราไม่รู้ว่าเบื้องหลังมันคือระบบ “อาหารสำเร็จรูปจากโรงงาน” ที่อ้างคำว่า “รักษ์โลก” แต่ผลิตโดยอุตสาหกรรมที่กระจุกตัวสูงมาก
ปัญหาที่คนอาจไม่ค่อยพูดถึงก็มีอยู่ครับเช่น -ละเลยโภชนาการตามธรรมชาติของเด็ก เพราะเด็กวัยเจริญเติบโตต้องการ โปรตีนคุณภาพสูง ไขมันดี และ สารอาหารที่พบเฉพาะในสัตว์ เช่น วิตามิน B12, เฮม-ไอรอน, โคลีน, คาร์โนซีน ฯลฯ ซึ่งอาหาร plant-based จำนวนมากขาด หรือมีในรูปแบบดูดซึมยากกว่าหลายเท่า - ใช้คำว่า "สิ่งแวดล้อม" บังหน้า แต่เป็นการผูกขาดระบบอาหาร การผลัก plant-based ไม่ได้ลดการพึ่งพาระบบอุตสาหกรรมเลย ตรงกันข้ามคือมันพาเราเข้าสู่ยุคของ plant-based ultra-processed food ที่ผลิตจากซอยโปรตีน ถั่วเหลือง GMO 2.0 น้ำมันพืช และสารแต่งรส... จากโรงงาน - เจาะระบบโรงเรียน = วางรากฐานความเชื่อ ให้เด็กที่โตมากับอาหารแบบนี้จะเชื่อว่านี่คือ “ของดี” และมองโปรตีนจากสัตว์เป็นสิ่งแปลกแยกในอนาคต เหมือนเป็นการ “reset” วิถีอาหารใหม่แบบไม่รู้ตัวผ่าน เจเนอเรชั่น - กลไกการจัดซื้อของรัฐจะถูก redirect ไปยังกลุ่มทุนใหญ่นอกพื้นที่ จากที่โรงเรียนจำนวนมากเคยซื้อวัตถุดิบจากชุมชน หรือฟาร์มใกล้เคียง พอโครงการแบบนี้เข้ามา จะค่อย ๆ ทำให้วัตถุดิบถูกกำหนดจาก เมนูที่ standardized ซึ่งสุดท้ายต้องพึ่ง “สินค้าสำเร็จรูปจากระบบอุตสาหกรรม”
ซึ่งถ้าเรามองโภชนาการสำหรับเด็กจริงๆแล้วนั้น เราควรลดของแปรรูป ไม่ใช่แค่ลดเนื้อ และใช้วัตถุดิบสดแท้จากธรรมชาติ ไม่ใช่ plant-based industrial food นอกจากนี้ยังควรสนับสนุนอาหารจากฟาร์มท้องถิ่น ทั้งผัก ไข่ เนื้อ และผลิตผลจากเกษตรกรจริง รวมถึงให้เด็กได้รู้จักที่มาของอาหาร ไม่ใช่แค่เรียนรู้แคลอรีกับคาร์บอนที่ว่ากันว่าปล่อยออกมา
School Plates คือก้าวเล็ก ๆ สู่การเปลี่ยนโครงสร้างใหญ่ของการควบคุมอาหารของโลก มันไม่ได้แค่เรื่องของเมนูกลางวัน แต่มันคือ “ระบบคิด” ที่กำลัง reshape โลกให้เด็กยุคใหม่โตมาโดยไม่รู้จัก real food ในสายตาเฮีย แม้โครงการนี้ไม่ได้เลวร้ายทั้งหมด แต่มันมี “เจตนาเชิงโครงสร้าง” ที่ต้องจับตาอย่างมาก และเราควรถามกลับเสมอว่า... ทำไมเราถึงต้องยัดอาหารสังเคราะห์ในนามของการ “รักโลก” แต่กลับตัดขาดจากดิน น้ำ ฟ้า และฟาร์มท้องถิ่น? ทำไม?

1 BTC Quantum Cracking Challenge Called a Joke
Quantum computing research organization Project Eleven launched “Q-Day Challenge,” announcing a 1 BTC reward to the first team that can crack an ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) key using Shor’s algorithm on a quantum computer before April 5, 2026. Project Eleven considers this an extremely difficult task, stating that even recovering a few private keys would be big news.
However, Shinobi from Bitcoin Magazine called the bounty a joke, arguing it provides no serious incentive for several reasons:
- Even highly optimistic forecasts place the feasibility of such a quantum breakthrough at least 5–10 years away.
- At Bitcoin’s current price of $80,000, the bounty is insufficient compensation for such a demanding task.
- A quantum computer could be used for much more lucrative exploits—eavesdropping on internet connections regardless of TLS, breaking encrypted private communications, or compromising the certificate authority hierarchy of the DNS system.
New BIP Proposal to Redefine Bitcoin’s Smallest Unit
A new BIP draft proposes redefining the term “Bitcoin” to refer to the smallest indivisible unit in the system—currently “sat” (Satoshi). The goal is to make transaction amounts more readable and reduce user error. For example, someone with 851 sats would simply see “851 bitcoin” instead of “0.00000851 BTC.” Only the display and interpretation of amounts would change—the protocol remains untouched.
Previously, BIP 176 attempted to improve readability by introducing “bits” (100 sats), but it introduced a new denomination users had to learn and switch between.
Sparse Bitcoin Block Contains Only 7 Transactions
Bitcoin transaction activity has slumped to its lowest in over two years. Recently, top mining pool Foundry mined a sparse block—Block 890466—containing only 7 transactions and weighing 5,369 weight units.
The last time a block was sparser was in January 2023, when Binance Pool mined Block 769895, which included just 4 transactions and weighed 4,370 weight units.
Over 95% of Bitcoin Blocks Mined by Just 6 Pools
A recent investigation by b10c analyzed the hash rate shares of Bitcoin’s five largest mining pools to examine centralization trends in 2025. Part one looked at mining pool information in coinbase transactions. Part two considered the assumed potential proxy pools. Both parts revealed a high concentration of mining activity. The conclusion: over 95% of recent blocks were mined by just six pools.
Bitcoin Hashrate Projections Through 2027
Valentin Rousseau in collaboration with Blockspace published hashrate forecast, covering:
- Hashrate forecasts for 2025, 2026, and 2027
- How current Bitcoin mining economics may influence the hashrate trajectory
- Hashrate expansion schedules for public miners, plus probability of completion
- Sensitivity tables for hashrate growth under various Bitcoin prices
Using VLS for Non-Custodial Lightning Integration
VLS (Validating Lightning Signer) is a library and reference implementation for a signer module to secure Lightning nodes. It separates Lightning private keys and security rule validation from the node, moving them to a dedicated signing device, thereby reducing the attack surface and enhancing security.
Before VLS, it was nearly impossible to securely manage Lightning private keys in a hosted environment without taking custody of user funds. Blockstream’s Greenlight demonstrates in this case study how VLS enables developers to seamlessly integrate non-custodial Lightning payments into their apps, with minimal overhead, while ensuring users retain full control of their funds.
How CTV+CSFS improves BitVM bridges
Robin Linus elaborates on how input-committing covenants can be used to build more efficient and secure bridges in the BitVM ecosystem. By using CTV (CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY) and CSFS (CHECKSIGFROMSTACK), the need for presigning committees is eliminated and transaction size is significantly reduced. This simplifies bridge architecture, enhances operational efficiency, and aims towards trust-minimized Bitcoin interoperability, though challenges such as potential censorship in the peg-in process remain.
RISC Zero Launches R0VM 2.0 with Performance and Security Gains
RISC Zero introduced R0VM 2.0, a major upgrade to its zkVM focused on performance and scalability. Enhancements include:
- Ethereum block validation and execution time cut from 35 minutes to 44 seconds;
- Validity proof costs reduced 5x, with batch sizes of 25 bringing per-block costs down from $1.355 to $0.2747; for larger batches, as low as $0.0012.
On the security side, formal verification is a key focus of R0VM 2.0. The Keccak circuit’s determinism has been fully verified, and 122 of the 123 components in the v2 RISC-V core circuit have also been confirmed deterministic.
Bitcoin Soft Forks Could Improve BitVMX
BitVMX is a platform for optimistic verification of Bitcoin smart contracts. In this article, Fairgate Labs outlines various potential Bitcoin upgrades and how they could benefit BitVMX. The article argues that new opcodes introduced via soft forks could improve efficiency, reduce on-chain costs, simplify scripting, and promote decentralization.
Ethereum Execution Layer to Replace EVM with RISC-V
Vitalik announced a long-term proposal to replace the EVM in Ethereum’s execution layer with RISC-V as the virtual machine for smart contracts. This aims to significantly improve execution efficiency and address key scalability bottlenecks, while also simplifying the execution layer.
Additionally, Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson mentioned that their project is also using RISC-V in BitVMX, stating: “RISC-V is the future.”

Viewing a Clown World Through Bitcoin: Responsibility, Freedom, and Self-Reflection
The book Bitcoin: The Inverse of Clown World critiques a modern society filled with “clowns”—obsessed with false political narratives and meaningless social issues, such as excessive focus on “political correctness” and climate change. The author argues that the root of absurdity is a lack of personal responsibility, and that when money breaks down, everything becomes political theater.
Beyond exposing and criticizing these absurdities, the book promotes Bitcoin as a means to succeed by providing value. It emphasizes the importance of protecting one’s time and mind in an era of information overload and encourages readers to reflect on their lifestyles and contribute to making a better world—with Bitcoin as a foundation for that change.

GPU Proof-of-Work: Redefining Energy, Computation, and Money in the AI Age
The author envisions a future where GPU-based Proof-of-Work (GPU PoW) plays a pivotal role in an AI-driven world. GPU PoW can secure cryptocurrencies, train AI models, balance energy loads, and help build a global compute marketplace. Unlike ASICs, which are limited to mining, GPUs are versatile and can dynamically shift workloads for optimal economic return.
By coordinating local data centers, superclusters, and middleware, GPU PoW can improve energy and compute efficiency without sacrificing decentralization. This gives rise to a new utility-based economic system. PoW is no longer just about mining—it becomes infrastructure supporting the convergence of AI, energy systems, and monetary networks.
DahLIAS:First Cryptographic Protocol for Fully Cross-Input Signature Aggregation Compatible with Secp256k1
Blockstream’s research team has introduced DahLIAS, the first cryptographic protocol that enables full cross-input signature aggregation, while remaining compatible with Bitcoin's existing secp256k1 elliptic curve.
An interactive aggregate signature scheme allows n signers—each with their own (sk, pk) key pair and message m—to jointly produce a short signature that proves each m was signed under its corresponding pk. While such schemes can offer massive space and verification savings—two critical bottlenecks for blockchain like Bitcoin—aggregate signatures have received less attention compared to other multisig schemes like MuSig2 or FROST.
DahLIAS is the first such scheme built on discrete logarithms in pairing-free groups, with constant-size signatures that look just like standard Schnorr signatures. DahLIAS also addresses real-world use cases. In addition to its savings in space and time, it supports key tweaking—a common Bitcoin technique used in hierarchical deterministic wallets to derive keys and enhance on-chain privacy.

Thunderbolt: A Formally Verified Protocol for Off-Chain Bitcoin Transfers
Bitcoin Thunderbolt is a novel off-chain protocol for asynchronous, secure transfer of Bitcoin UTXOs between uncoordinated users. Unlike prior solutions such as payment channels or the Lightning Network, Bitcoin Thunderbolt requires no prior trust, direct interaction, or continuous connectivity between sender and receiver.
At its core, Bitcoin Thunderbolt employs a Byzantine fault-tolerant committee to manage threshold Schnorr signatures, enabling secure ownership delegation and on-chain finalization.

2025-04-25 01:56:19加密洞见
悬赏 1 BTC 的量子计算破解密钥挑战,被认为是个笑话
量子计算研究机构 Project Eleven 发布 Q-Day 挑战,宣布对能够于 2026 年 4 月 5 日之前、在量子计算机上使用 Shor 算法破解椭圆曲线加密(ECC)密钥的第一支团队提供 1 BTC 的奖励。Project Eleven 认为这将是一项极其艰巨的任务,即使获得几位私钥也将是一个大新闻。
而 Bitcoin Magazine 的长期贡献者 Shinobi 认为该笔赏金是一个笑话,并没有提供任何严肃的激励,原因有:
- 即使是对量子计算进展的高度乐观预测,也将实际实现这一目标的时间表定为 5-10 年;
- 按照目前单个比特币 80,000 美元的市价来看,奖励对于这项困难的工作其实并不多;
- 一台量子计算机可以完成比价值 80,000 美元更有价值的事,如窃听互联网连接、破解私人信息应用程序、破解整个 DNS 系统的证书颁发机构层次结构等。
重新定义比特币的基本单位的新 BIP
这份 BIP 草案建议重新定义「比特币」一词,以指代系统中最小的不可分割单位,即目前所说的「聪」(sat),目的是让交易看起来更清晰易读,可以有效降低了用户出错风险。如果某人有 851 个聪,钱包只显示 851 个比特币,而不是 0.00000851 BTC。变化的只有显示和解释金额的方式,而协议不变。
在这项提案之前,已经有提案(BIP 176)试图通过引入代表 100 聪的「比特」(bits)来使比特币数位的显示更加友好。虽然这减少了小数位的数量,但它引入了一种新的面额,用户必须学习并在其之间切换。
比特币交易活跃度低迷,稀疏区块仅包含 7 笔交易
比特币交易活动处于 2 年多来的最低水平,导致最大的矿池 Foundry 近期挖掘出一个稀疏的非空区块:Block 890466 仅包含 7 笔交易,重量为 5369 个单位。
上一个低于此的稀疏区块是 Binance Pool 在 2023 年 1 月挖出的区块 769895。内存池同样是空的,仅包含 4 笔交易,重量为 4370 个单位。
当前比特币挖矿高度集中:超过 95% 的区块仅由 6 个矿池开采
这篇由 b10c 发表的调查检查了当前五个最大的比特币矿池的哈希率份额,探讨 2025 年比特币挖矿中心化问题。第一部分着眼于 coinbase 交易中包含的矿池信息。第二部分考虑了假定的代理池。这两部分都显示了当前最大的矿池和挖矿集中化指数。调查结论:当下的比特币挖矿高度集中,有 6 个矿池开采了超过 95% 的区块。
预测到 2027 年的比特币哈希率
Valentin Rousseau 与 Blockspace 合作撰写了这份报告,涵盖: * 2025 年、2026 年和 2027 年的哈希率预测 * 当前的比特币挖矿经济学将如何影响哈希率的轨迹 * 公共矿工的哈希率扩展时间表,以及完成概率 * 不同比特币价格下哈希率增长的敏感度表
使用 VLS 支持非托管的闪电集成
VLS(Validating Lightning Signer)是签名者模块的库和参考实现,用于保护闪电节点,将 闪电私钥和安全规则验证从闪电节点分离到一个单独的签名设备中,通过减少攻击面来增强安全性。
在 VLS 之前,在不保管用户资金的情况下,在托管环境中安全地管理闪电私钥几乎是不可能的。Blockstream 的 Greenlight 在这份案例研究中介绍了如何使用 VLS,以非托管的方式使开发人员能够以最小的开销将闪电的功能添加到他们的应用程序中,同时确保用户保留对他们资金的完全控制权。Greenlight 构建在 Core Lightning 的模块化架构上,将由 Blockstream 管理的闪电节点操作与掌握在用户手中的闪电交易签名分开。
CTV+CSFS 如何改进 BitVM 网桥
Robin Linus 阐述了如何使用「输入提交契约」(input-committing covenants)在 BitVM 生态系统中构建更高效、更安全的桥,利用 CTV(CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY)和 CSFS (CHECKSIGFROMSTACK) 消除对预签名委员会的需求并显着减少交易规模。这一进步简化了桥架构,提高了运营效率,并旨在实现信任最小化的比特币互作性,尽管仍然存在诸如挂钩过程中的潜在审查等挑战。
RISC Zero 推出 R0VM 2.0,性能提升的同时确保安全性
RISC Zero 推出了 R0VM 2.0,重大改进包括: * 以太坊区块的验证和执行时间,从 35 分钟缩短到仅 44 秒; * 到有效性证明的成本降低了 5 倍,批量大小为 25 的每个区块交易成本从 1.355 USD 下降到 0.2747 USD;较大批次交易成本低至 0.0012 USD;
在安全性方面,形式化验证是 R0VM 2.0 的核心。目前已经验证 Keccak 电路的完全确定性,以及在其 v2 电路中,核心 RISC-V 功能的 123 个组件中有 122 个是确定性的。
比特币软分叉可以改进 BitVMX

DahLIAS:首个用于完全交叉输入签名聚合的加密协议,允许重用比特币的曲线 secp256k1
Blockstream 研究团队推出 DahLIAS——第一个用于完全交叉输入签名聚合的加密协议,允许重用比特币的曲线 secp256k1。
一个交互式聚合签名(interactive aggregate signatures)方案允许 n 个签名者,每人拥有自己的秘密/公钥对(sk, pk)和消息 m,共同生成一个简短的签名,同时证明每个 m 在 pk 下已经被签名,其中 i ∈ {1, . . . , n}。尽管在空间和验证时间方面具有巨大的节省潜力,这两个因素是像比特币这样的区块链系统的主要瓶颈。但聚合签名相比于多方签名家族中的其他成员(例如 MuSig2 多重签名和 FROST 阈值签名)受到的关注较少。
而 DahLIAS 是首个直接在无配对组(pairing-free groups)中的离散对数上构建的、具有常数大小签名的聚合签名方案——与标准的 Schnorr 签名具有相同形态。DahLIAS 的签名协议由两轮组成,第一轮可以在没有消息的情况下预处理,且验证某个由 n 个签名者创建的签名,是由一个大小为 n + 1 的多重指数运算主导,这在渐近意义上比批量验证 n 个独立的 Schnorr 签名要快两倍。
DahLIAS 也考虑到了现实中的应用。除了前述的空间节省和验证速度提升外,DahLIAS 还提供了密钥调整功能,这是一种常用于比特币的技术——从有层级的确定性钱包中派生密钥,以节省空间并增强链上隐私。研究团队在随机预言模型下,基于(代数的)再一次离散对数假设,证明了包含密钥调整功能的 DahLIAS 在并发设置下的安全性。

2025-04-24 15:27:02Introduction
Data Vending Machines (DVMs) have emerged as a crucial component of the Nostr ecosystem, offering specialized computational services to clients across the network. As defined in NIP-90, DVMs operate on an apparently simple principle: "data in, data out." They provide a marketplace for data processing where users request specific jobs (like text translation, content recommendation, or AI text generation)
While DVMs have gained significant traction, the current specification faces challenges that hinder widespread adoption and consistent implementation. This article explores some ideas on how we can apply the reflection pattern, a well established approach in RPC systems, to address these challenges and improve the DVM ecosystem's clarity, consistency, and usability.
The Current State of DVMs: Challenges and Limitations
The NIP-90 specification provides a broad framework for DVMs, but this flexibility has led to several issues:
1. Inconsistent Implementation
As noted by hzrd149 in "DVMs were a mistake" every DVM implementation tends to expect inputs in slightly different formats, even while ostensibly following the same specification. For example, a translation request DVM might expect an event ID in one particular format, while an LLM service could expect a "prompt" input that's not even specified in NIP-90.
2. Fragmented Specifications
The DVM specification reserves a range of event kinds (5000-6000), each meant for different types of computational jobs. While creating sub-specifications for each job type is being explored as a possible solution for clarity, in a decentralized and permissionless landscape like Nostr, relying solely on specification enforcement won't be effective for creating a healthy ecosystem. A more comprehensible approach is needed that works with, rather than against, the open nature of the protocol.
3. Ambiguous API Interfaces
There's no standardized way for clients to discover what parameters a specific DVM accepts, which are required versus optional, or what output format to expect. This creates uncertainty and forces developers to rely on documentation outside the protocol itself, if such documentation exists at all.
The Reflection Pattern: A Solution from RPC Systems
The reflection pattern in RPC systems offers a compelling solution to many of these challenges. At its core, reflection enables servers to provide metadata about their available services, methods, and data types at runtime, allowing clients to dynamically discover and interact with the server's API.
In established RPC frameworks like gRPC, reflection serves as a self-describing mechanism where services expose their interface definitions and requirements. In MCP reflection is used to expose the capabilities of the server, such as tools, resources, and prompts. Clients can learn about available capabilities without prior knowledge, and systems can adapt to changes without requiring rebuilds or redeployments. This standardized introspection creates a unified way to query service metadata, making tools like
grpcurl
possible without requiring precompiled stubs.How Reflection Could Transform the DVM Specification
By incorporating reflection principles into the DVM specification, we could create a more coherent and predictable ecosystem. DVMs already implement some sort of reflection through the use of 'nip90params', which allow clients to discover some parameters, constraints, and features of the DVMs, such as whether they accept encryption, nutzaps, etc. However, this approach could be expanded to provide more comprehensive self-description capabilities.
1. Defined Lifecycle Phases
Similar to the Model Context Protocol (MCP), DVMs could benefit from a clear lifecycle consisting of an initialization phase and an operation phase. During initialization, the client and DVM would negotiate capabilities and exchange metadata, with the DVM providing a JSON schema containing its input requirements. nip-89 (or other) announcements can be used to bootstrap the discovery and negotiation process by providing the input schema directly. Then, during the operation phase, the client would interact with the DVM according to the negotiated schema and parameters.
2. Schema-Based Interactions
Rather than relying on rigid specifications for each job type, DVMs could self-advertise their schemas. This would allow clients to understand which parameters are required versus optional, what type validation should occur for inputs, what output formats to expect, and what payment flows are supported. By internalizing the input schema of the DVMs they wish to consume, clients gain clarity on how to interact effectively.
3. Capability Negotiation
Capability negotiation would enable DVMs to advertise their supported features, such as encryption methods, payment options, or specialized functionalities. This would allow clients to adjust their interaction approach based on the specific capabilities of each DVM they encounter.
Implementation Approach
While building DVMCP, I realized that the RPC reflection pattern used there could be beneficial for constructing DVMs in general. Since DVMs already follow an RPC style for their operation, and reflection is a natural extension of this approach, it could significantly enhance and clarify the DVM specification.
A reflection enhanced DVM protocol could work as follows: 1. Discovery: Clients discover DVMs through existing NIP-89 application handlers, input schemas could also be advertised in nip-89 announcements, making the second step unnecessary. 2. Schema Request: Clients request the DVM's input schema for the specific job type they're interested in 3. Validation: Clients validate their request against the provided schema before submission 4. Operation: The job proceeds through the standard NIP-90 flow, but with clearer expectations on both sides
Parallels with Other Protocols
This approach has proven successful in other contexts. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) implements a similar lifecycle with capability negotiation during initialization, allowing any client to communicate with any server as long as they adhere to the base protocol. MCP and DVM protocols share fundamental similarities, both aim to expose and consume computational resources through a JSON-RPC-like interface, albeit with specific differences.
gRPC's reflection service similarly allows clients to discover service definitions at runtime, enabling generic tools to work with any gRPC service without prior knowledge. In the REST API world, OpenAPI/Swagger specifications document interfaces in a way that makes them discoverable and testable.
DVMs would benefit from adopting these patterns while maintaining the decentralized, permissionless nature of Nostr.
Conclusion
I am not attempting to rewrite the DVM specification; rather, explore some ideas that could help the ecosystem improve incrementally, reducing fragmentation and making the ecosystem more comprehensible. By allowing DVMs to self describe their interfaces, we could maintain the flexibility that makes Nostr powerful while providing the structure needed for interoperability.
For developers building DVM clients or libraries, this approach would simplify consumption by providing clear expectations about inputs and outputs. For DVM operators, it would establish a standard way to communicate their service's requirements without relying on external documentation.
I am currently developing DVMCP following these patterns. Of course, DVMs and MCP servers have different details; MCP includes capabilities such as tools, resources, and prompts on the server side, as well as 'roots' and 'sampling' on the client side, creating a bidirectional way to consume capabilities. In contrast, DVMs typically function similarly to MCP tools, where you call a DVM with an input and receive an output, with each job type representing a different categorization of the work performed.
Without further ado, I hope this article has provided some insight into the potential benefits of applying the reflection pattern to the DVM specification.

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.—William Carlos Williams
April, the month Eliot famously deemed the cruelest, is kindest to poetry. It’s when we nationally awaken to poetry’s efforts to capture the human experience in all its messy contradictions, leaning into uncertainty and wonder and bringing readers along for the ride.
Williams’s adage pairs beautifully with Ezra Pound’s assertion that “Poetry is news that stays news.” Poetry* gives readers the most immediate and urgent hotline to feeling. Big emotions turn us instinctively, like human sunflowers, toward poems, which are singularly compact vehicles for thinking and feeling. They have a knack for distilling our existential questions and putting all that wondering to music—after all, the term lyric poetry comes from the lyre,* which accompanied the recitation of poetry in antiquity.
On Substack, poets shed the constraints of traditional publishing timelines, sharing works in progress and experimenting in real time. What arises isn’t just a collection of newsletters but a living anthology of established voices and emerging talents in conversation with one another and their readers. If you’re still not convinced that poetry is for you (it is!), I created a primer of Poems for Those Who Don’t “Get” Poetry. But beyond that gateway, Substack presents countless paths to discover the poems that will speak directly to you—from translation projects that breathe new life into ancient verse to craft discussions that demystify the process. Allow me to introduce you to a few of my favorites.
Poetry in progress
Quiddity: a word I love. It means “the inherent nature or essence of someone or something.” The you-ness of you. That is what the best poets translate through their writing—formal or free verse, ruminative or praising, expansive or brief. It’s the way one listens to the singular voice channeled through them** and delivers that voice alive on the page.
This is the foundation for the widest category of poetry on Substack. No two posts are alike: you might get the intimacy of seeing work that could later make its way into books, hearing poets muse about their writing lives, or watching notes and fragments coalesce into longer lyric explorations.
is one of the best-known poets on Substack, offering devoted readers a mix of never-before-seen work and poems from past collections. And his commitment to Substack’s potential as a propagator of new writing is especially inspiring to emerging writers.
Being witness to commitment and experimentation, that magical balance between discipline and freedom to explore, is riveting. I so admire , translator and former Random House editor ’s long-standing project to chronicle daily life:
Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published4.11.25
what I so desired I can’t have
thank you blessed stars
Andrea Gibson’s gorgeously smart features videos of the poet reciting their work and contemplating illness, resilience, and the role that poetry plays in capturing duress, heartbreak, and hope. Here they are reading their poem “What Love Is”:
I was thrilled to see former U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith join Substack recently. She’s already sharing poems, works in progress, and essays. Hear her reading a new poem, “I Don’t Believe in Doom,” here:
Then there’s , an ambitious translation project by , a writer dedicated to bringing these ancient poems from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) to a contemporary audience. Hyun Woo translates one poem from the collection every week. Here’s one of my favorites, number 55:
The Farewell to Those Who Will Stay at a Tavern of JinlingThe wind blows the willow flowers, filling the inn with fragrance;The ladies of Wu press the liquor, calling to the guests to try.The young men of Jinling come and see each other off;Those who will go, those who will not, each empty his goblet.I invite you to ask the water flowing east, to test it:Which is short and which is long, the thoughts of farewell or itself?
Curators and craft
The poet-as-curator offers us an assortment of poems organized by their own idiosyncratic logic. It’s like receiving the perfect mixtape: songs you’ve known and loved for years, and others you’re grateful to discover for the first time. Chances are good that within any given roundup, at least one poem will speak to you, introducing you to a new voice.
’s is one of my go-tos. He has a phenomenal reader’s eye for juxtapositions that span ages, styles, and modes, creating unexpected—and delightful—tensions and correspondences. His thematic roundups extend far beyond expected subjects like love and death to more nuanced territories like therapy (“This is progress”) and mood (“Puff out the hot-air balloon now”). Through Sean, I was reminded to revisit one of my favorite Audre Lorde poems:
Shared in “This is progress” by Sean Singer
In my own newsletter, , I do something similar: curating Poems for Your Weekend around themes that serve as a prescription for your mind or soul, while exploring how neuroscience and mindset can help us live more sustainable and enriching artistic lives. Through it all, I write about the role of wonder in poetry, the subject of my PhD.
For subtle close readings of poems through the lens of life rather than the ivory tower, I turn to ’s , with its deeply thoughtful essays on the poems he selects each week. His recent post on the poems of Linda Pastan includes this gorgeous poem from Insomnia:
Imaginary ConversationText within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedYou tell me to live each day as if it were my last. This is in the kitchen where before coffee I complain of the day ahead—that obstacle race of minutes and hours, grocery stores and doctors.
But why the last? I ask. Why not live each day as if it were the first— all raw astonishment, Eve rubbing her eyes awake that first morning, the sun coming up like an ingénue in the east?
You grind the coffee with the small roar of a mind trying to clear itself. I set the table, glance out the window where dew has baptized every living surface.
I love Devin’s remarks: “why the last is the kind of question I adore, a question that does not assume it knows what we are supposedly supposed to know, a question that mirthfully pushes back against the world, and wonders aloud about astonishment in the face of certainty.”
For those interested in craft, literary powerhouse recently joined Substack and is already offering excellent writing exercises, as helpful for readers hoping to understand poetry as for poets creating their own. His Exercise 036: Begin with the End introduced even this poetry veteran to a new term: anadiplosis! is a resource-rich space, featuring interviews, classes, craft essays, and more. A large group of poets and readers has gathered to take advantage, creating a vibrant community. And a special shoutout in this section to , a poet whose candid essays on navigating both the publishing and dating world as a woman are their own kind of education on living more bravely and authentically.
Final thoughts
Whether encountered in an anthology or a newsletter, poems remind us of what Williams knew: that vital truths exist within their lines that we can find nowhere else. And there’s a special joy in reading them on Substack, where poets find renewed pleasure in publishing on their own terms, and where readers can witness the process and join the discussion. The digital format extends poetry’s reach, bringing these voices to new audiences who might not normally encounter them. Here, poets and readers are participating in poetry’s oldest tradition: the passing of essential truths from one human heart to another. I hope you’ll join us. https://connect-test.layer3.press/articles/4e5d2cee-8bd4-4fb0-9331-48bbeded3a47

2025-04-24 12:02:56- Liebe beginnt nicht im Herzen, sondern im Zweifel – sie wächst dort, wo man bleibt, obwohl man fliehen will.
- Herkunft ist kein Zuhause. Es ist der Ort, an dem man lernt, warum man gehen musste.
- Wahrheit ist selten laut. Sie flüstert – meist dann, wenn niemand mehr zuhört.
- Nähe ohne Ehrlichkeit ist nur ein getarnter Abstand.
- Wer geliebt werden will, wie er ist, muss zuerst wissen, wer das überhaupt ist.
- Ein Kind spielt nicht, um zu vergessen – es spielt, weil es noch nicht gelernt hat zu verdrängen.
- Wir nennen es Familie. Aber manchmal ist es nur eine Geschichte, die keiner mehr zu Ende erzählen will.
- Vertrauen stirbt nicht an Lügen, sondern am Schweigen zwischen ihnen.
- Die Krone der Zukunft liegt oft auf den Schultern derer, die nie gefragt wurden, ob sie sie tragen wollen.
- Jeder Versuch, das Chaos zu ordnen, ist ein Spiegelbild unserer Angst – nicht vor dem Zerfall, sondern vor dem, was wir ohne Ordnung wären.

2025-04-24 12:01:07„Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können.“
– Friedrich Nietzsche
Der Mensch wächst nicht aus der Welt – er wird in sie geworfen, ohne Ursprung, ohne Auftrag, ohne Trost. Die Familie erscheint zuerst als Halt, doch sie ist oft der erste Spiegel, in dem man sich selbst nicht erkennt. Man nennt es Liebe, nennt es Bindung – aber vielleicht ist es nur die stille Einweisung in ein Gefängnis, dessen Mauern wie Umarmungen aussehen.
Das Kind als unbestechliche Gegenwart
Das Kind ist nicht die Fortsetzung des Selbst, sondern der Beweis, dass auch das Chaos Nachwuchs hat. Es lacht, weil es noch nicht weiß, was Lachen kostet. Es fragt nicht, weil es noch nicht weiß, dass Fragen selten Antworten finden. Und doch ist es das Kind, das die Ordnung zum Wanken bringt – nicht durch Widerstand, sondern durch seine unbestechliche Gegenwärtigkeit.
Freiheit als Abwesenheit von Rettung
Freiheit beginnt dort, wo man aufhört, sich retten zu lassen. Sie ist kein Zustand, sondern eine Haltung: die Weigerung, sich einer Bedeutung zu unterwerfen, die von außen kommt. Die Welt verlangt Funktion – das freie Leben verweigert sich der Funktion, nicht durch Aufstand, sondern durch Abwesenheit. Wer Sicherheit sucht, hat die Welt bereits verloren.
Die Wahrheit der Einsamkeit
Einsamkeit ist kein Unglück – sie ist der Boden, auf dem das Selbst sich überhaupt erst spüren kann. Sie ist nicht leer, sondern ungeteilt. Was fehlt, ist nicht ein anderer Mensch, sondern die Illusion, dass Nähe uns ganz machen könnte. In der Tiefe des Alleinseins offenbart sich nicht Mangel, sondern Klarheit.
Das Nichts – erkannt, nicht gefürchtet
Ein Kind stellt keine Fragen über das Nichts – es lebt in ihm, ohne es zu wissen. Der Erwachsene aber erkennt es, spürt es wie eine zweite Haut, die nicht abgelegt werden kann. Doch dieses Wissen ist keine Strafe. Es ist die Bedingung jeder echten Handlung. Wer das Nichts kennt, liebt nicht, um sich zu retten – sondern weil er weiß, dass nichts gerettet werden muss.
Alltag, Würde, Form
Ein Leben im Angesicht der Leere ist möglich. Nicht durch Verdrängung, sondern durch Durchschreiten. Die Rolle, die man spielt, wird erträglich, wenn man sie nicht mit Identität verwechselt. Die Arbeit, die man verrichtet, dient nicht mehr dem Fortschritt, sondern der Form – und vielleicht ist darin schon Würde genug.
Das Netz und das Nest
Familie kann ein Nest sein – oder ein Netz. Es hält, oder es hält fest. Doch auch das Netz kann Heimat sein, wenn man nicht mehr erwartet, darin zu fliegen. Ein Kind zu begleiten heißt nicht, ihm Wahrheit zu geben, sondern ihm Raum zu lassen, seine eigene zu verwerfen.
Raum statt Richtung
Freiheit ist kein Ziel, sondern ein Aufhören. Wer nichts mehr will, dem kann nichts genommen werden. Wer das Nichts annimmt, dem begegnet keine Leere mehr – sondern Raum. In diesem Raum entsteht das, was nicht geplant ist, nicht beherrscht und nicht gezählt: der Moment, das Staunen, die Stille zwischen zwei Gedanken. Vielleicht ist genau das genug.
Das Schöne im Erlaubten
Man kann leben mit dem Nichts – wenn man nicht mehr verlangt, dass es Sinn macht. Man kann Vater sein, Mutter, Freund, Fremder – ohne sich zu verlieren. Man kann lachen, weinen, müde sein – ohne Trost zu brauchen. Denn wer dem Nichts ins Auge gesehen hat, der weiß: Alles ist bedeutungslos. Und genau deshalb ist alles erlaubt. Und manchmal, ganz selten, auch: schön.

2025-04-24 11:54:33„Die Tatsache, dass das Leben keinen Sinn hat, ist ein Grund zu leben – und zwar der einzige.“
– Emil Cioran
Der Mensch steht im Zentrum eines Raumes, der sich weigert, eine Mitte zu haben. Alles um ihn herum scheint geordnet, doch diese Ordnung ist ein leises Zittern vor dem Chaos, das jede Struktur unterwandert. Es gibt kein Versprechen, das nicht gebrochen wird, kein Licht, das nicht aus einer tieferen Dunkelheit geboren wird. So flackert die Existenz – ein schwankender Schein über einem Abgrund, der kein Echo zurückgibt.
Das Nichts – still und überall
Das Nichts ist nicht Abwesenheit. Es ist Gegenwart ohne Form. Es liegt nicht hinter den Dingen, sondern in ihnen – wie ein Geruch, der bleibt, wenn alle Türen geschlossen sind. Es ist der unsichtbare Kern der Welt, der Grund, warum jedes Wort in sich selbst zerfällt, jede Bewegung zu spät kommt, jeder Sinn sich verflüchtigt, sobald man ihn greifen will. Das Schweigen des Universums ist keine Antwort – es ist die endgültige Form der Gleichgültigkeit.
Leben im Schatten der Leere
Wer dem Nichts begegnet, verliert nicht die Hoffnung – er erkennt, dass es nie Hoffnung gab, nur das Bedürfnis danach. Die Leere ist kein Loch, das gefüllt werden will, sondern ein Zustand, der alles durchdringt. Man lebt nicht trotz des Nichts – man lebt im Nichts, als Ahnung, als Abdruck, als Fußspur im Staub eines Raums, den niemand betritt.
Melancholie als Aggregatzustand
Melancholie ist kein Gefühl, sondern ein Aggregatzustand des Bewusstseins, das zu viel gesehen hat, um noch zu glauben. Sie trägt kein Schwarz, sie schreit nicht. Sie fließt durch uns wie ein langsamer Strom, der die Farben der Dinge auswäscht. In ihr liegt kein Wunsch nach Erlösung, sondern nur das Wissen, dass selbst Erlösung eine weitere Form von Fessel wäre. Man kehrt nicht heim, man löst sich auf – langsam, leise, endgültig.
Zeit, Tod, Vergehen
Der Tod ist nicht der Feind des Lebens, sondern seine Form. Leben ist der Prozess des langsamen Verschwindens, und Sterben ist nur die letzte Geste einer Bewegung, die längst begonnen hat. Die Zeit nimmt nicht, sie löscht. Sie lässt zurück, was nicht mehr gefüllt werden kann: ein Umriss, eine Hülle, ein Bild ohne Substanz. Der Mensch verliert sich nicht am Ende, sondern in jedem Moment, den er durchschreitet.
Erinnerung als Fragment
Erinnerung ist kein Besitz, sondern eine Wunde. Was zurückblickt, blickt durch einen zerbrochenen Spiegel – jedes Fragment spiegelt etwas, aber nie das Ganze. Und wer sich darin sucht, findet nicht sich selbst, sondern die Lücken zwischen den Bildern. Vergangenheit ist nicht, was war, sondern das, was nie ganz war – und deshalb nie ganz vergeht.
Fremdheit als Wahrheit
Existenz ist ein Exil. Nicht von einem Ort, sondern von sich selbst. Man ist sich nicht nahe, man ist sich fremd – und in dieser Fremdheit liegt keine Tragik, sondern ein nüchterner Frieden. Die Einsamkeit ist kein Zustand, sondern die einzig mögliche Beziehung zur Welt. Alles andere ist Täuschung, ein letzter Versuch, das Unvereinbare zu versöhnen.
Der flüchtige Sinn
Sinn verflüchtigt sich mit jeder Geste, die ihn zu fassen sucht. Je näher man kommt, desto mehr löst er sich auf – wie Nebel vor der Hand. Was bleibt, ist das Bild der Suche selbst, eine Bewegung im Leeren. Man begreift nicht – man kreist. Und in diesem Kreis liegt der Kern der Erfahrung: nicht das Ziel, sondern die Auflösung aller Ziele.
Die letzte Freiheit
Die einzige Freiheit liegt nicht im Handeln, sondern im Entgleiten. Der Verzicht auf Bedeutung, auf Richtung, auf Rettung – das ist der erste Akt der Selbstermächtigung. Nicht laut, nicht kämpferisch, sondern als stilles Hinwegtreten aus dem Spiel. Dort beginnt das, was nicht mehr genommen werden kann: die Unabhängigkeit vom Verlangen.
Schönheit im Verlöschen
Nichts bleibt. Und gerade deshalb geschieht alles. Nicht um zu sein, sondern um zu vergehen. Und vielleicht liegt darin die letzte Schönheit – nicht im Bestehen, sondern im Verlöschen. In der Fähigkeit, in Ketten zu tanzen, wissend, dass jede Kette aus Licht besteht, das schon lange erloschen ist.

2025-04-24 11:46:28„Wahrheit ist kein Besitz, den man verteidigt, sondern ein Prozess, den man gemeinsam gestaltet.“
– frei nach dem Geist freier Netzwerke und resilienter Systeme
Bitcoin ist mehr als nur ein monetäres Protokoll. Es ist ein kulturelles Artefakt, ein philosophisches Statement und ein praktischer Ausdruck radikaler Souveränität, kollektiver Verantwortung und struktureller Ethik. Wer Bitcoin ausschließlich als technologisches Experiment oder ökonomisches Asset betrachtet, verfehlt seine tiefere Bedeutung: Bitcoin ist eine politische Philosophie – nicht in Büchern niedergeschrieben, sondern in Code gegossen. Eine Philosophie, die nicht behauptet, die Wahrheit zu kennen, sondern eine Methode zur gemeinsamen Verifikation anbietet. Eine Philosophie des Konsenses.
Legitimität von unten
Im Zentrum dieser Philosophie steht die Einsicht, dass Legitimität nicht von oben gewährt, sondern von unten erzeugt wird. Keine zentrale Instanz entscheidet, was gilt. Keine Autorität garantiert Vertrauen. Stattdessen entsteht alles aus einem gemeinsamen, freiwilligen Prozess: offen, nachvollziehbar, überprüfbar. Bitcoin ersetzt Vertrauen in Personen durch Vertrauen in Regeln – nicht aus Zynismus, sondern aus epistemischer Bescheidenheit gegenüber menschlicher Fehlbarkeit.
Konsens ist keine Harmonie
Dieser Perspektivwechsel ist radikal. Er stellt nicht nur bestehende Geldsysteme infrage, sondern auch unsere politischen und institutionellen Grundlagen. Während klassische Systeme auf Hierarchien, auf Exklusivität und auf delegierter Macht beruhen, operiert Bitcoin auf Basis offener Teilhabe und individueller Verantwortung. Jeder Knoten ist autonom – aber keiner ist isoliert. Die Wahrheit, die sich im Netzwerk konstituiert, ist nicht das Produkt von Autorität, sondern das Ergebnis reproduzierbarer Verifikation. Nicht Glaube zählt, sondern Prüfung.
Regeln statt Meinungen
Konsens ist dabei kein romantischer Idealzustand, sondern ein dynamischer Balanceakt. Er wird nicht durch Harmonie hergestellt, sondern durch Reibung, durch Konflikt, durch Iteration. Konsens in Bitcoin ist kein Konsens der Meinungen, sondern der Regeln. Und genau darin liegt seine Stabilität. Denn wo Meinungen divergieren, können Regeln konvergieren – vorausgesetzt, sie sind transparent, überprüfbar und konsequent angewandt.
Wahlfreiheit als Systemdesign
Diese Logik verschiebt den Fokus von zentralisierter Macht zu verteilter Verantwortung. Bitcoin kennt keine exekutive Gewalt, keine privilegierten Klassen, keine Instanz, die im Namen aller spricht. Es kennt nur Regeln – und die freie Entscheidung, ihnen zu folgen oder nicht. Wer sich dem Konsens nicht anschließen will, kann abspalten. Forking ist keine Katastrophe, sondern ein systemimmanenter Ausdruck von Wahlfreiheit. In der Möglichkeit der Spaltung liegt die Stärke der Struktur.
Freiheit als Infrastruktur
Diese strukturelle Freiheit unterscheidet sich grundlegend vom klassischen, liberalen Freiheitsverständnis. Es geht nicht um die Willkür des Einzelnen, sondern um die Freiheit von willkürlicher Macht. Es ist kein Plädoyer für Individualismus, sondern für institutionelle Unabhängigkeit. Die Architektur selbst garantiert die Freiheit – nicht eine Instanz, die über sie wacht. In dieser Ethik ist Freiheit kein Ideal, sondern ein Designprinzip. Kein Zustand, sondern eine Infrastruktur.
Gerechtigkeit durch Transparenz
Verantwortung entsteht nicht durch Appelle, sondern durch Transparenz. Jede Entscheidung, jede Transaktion, jeder Regelbruch ist öffentlich nachvollziehbar. Es gibt keine Geheimabsprachen, keine Privilegien, keine Ausnahmen. In dieser radikalen Offenheit liegt eine neue Form von Gerechtigkeit: nicht moralisch verordnet, sondern technisch ermöglicht. Gleichheit ist kein Ziel, sondern eine Eigenschaft des Systems selbst.
Ein Vorschlag für eine neue Ordnung
Bitcoin ist damit nicht nur ein technisches Protokoll, sondern ein Vorschlag für ein neues Modell gesellschaftlicher Ordnung. Eine Ordnung ohne Zentrum, aber nicht ohne Struktur. Eine Praxis der Wahrheit ohne Wahrheitsmonopol. Eine Gemeinschaft, die sich nicht über ideologische Übereinstimmung definiert, sondern über gemeinsame Regeln. Das politische Prinzip, das hier wirkt, ist die Zustimmung – nicht die Kontrolle.
Keine Utopie, sondern ein Anfang
In einer Zeit wachsender institutioneller Erosion, in der Vertrauen in klassische Strukturen schwindet, zeigt Bitcoin einen alternativen Weg: nicht zurück zur Vergangenheit, sondern nach vorn zu neuen Formen des Zusammenlebens. Es ist ein System, das sich nicht auf Versprechen verlässt, sondern auf Rechenbarkeit. Eine Ethik des Handelns, nicht des Glaubens. Eine Ordnung, die nicht durch Macht entsteht, sondern durch das Überflüssigmachen von Macht.
Bitcoin ist nicht perfekt. Aber es ist ehrlich in seiner Imperfektion. Es verspricht keine Utopie, sondern bietet ein robustes Werkzeug. Ein Werkzeug, das uns zwingt, über Macht, Wahrheit und Verantwortung neu nachzudenken. Es ist kein Ende, sondern ein Anfang – eine Einladung, eine neue politische Realität zu gestalten: nicht von oben diktiert, sondern von unten geschaffen.
