I’m interested in sharing ideas for a research program focused on technological advancement. I’m interested in sharing ideas for a research program focused on resistance to the Nudging State and the Nudging Oligarchy. I’m interested in sharing ideas for a research program focused on liberty. I’m writing this letter to invite an exploration of a joint research program, as described in the Take Back Your Data section of Things Fall Apart (Part 3) – Politics. There’s also a shared belief in technological progress and advancement, an advancement that drives an up-and-to-the-right arrow to history, as well as a shared belief in the epistemic foundation of that technological progress – the research program. The crucial similarities are a commitment to individual liberty as the sine qua non for any organization of our social lives, and a resistance to instruments of the Nudging State and the Nudging Oligarchy, both of which have a very different conception of how our social lives should be organized. There are lots of important differences in the epistemic focus of small-l liberalism (at least as I understand it) and the crypto community (at least as I understand it), but even more important similarities. I’m trying to build a different epistemic community than yours – one based on shared knowledge of small-l liberalism. And lots of false prophets to steal your passion. Which attracts lots of raccoons to steal your money. There’s also lots of money and lots of passion. Within that broad epistemic community of crypto, there are lots of very different goals, lots of very different geographies and environmental attributes, lots of very different talents and constraints.
It’s an epistemic community, which is a ten-dollar phrase meaning a community of shared knowledge, or more specifically a community that shares a sense of how one gets to useful and valid knowledge.
