The Selfish Gene.
As soon as the concept clicked halfway through the book my days as an evangelical were over.
It was interesting to me to hear years later that Wall Street types found it influential, because the thing I found most compelling was the explanation of why altruism and social generosity were rational traits.

Thanks for clarifying, I was worried for a second.

Totally possible and something you can do already with digital ID. Checkout RealMe in New Zealand: https://www.govt.nz/browse/passports-citizenship-and-identity/proving-and-protecting-your-identity/use-realme-to-prove-your-identity-online/

A big issue is that many countries are a decade behind in implementing this system. They’re effectively asking the liquor store to check customers are 18, without government ID existing. So now the private sector is creating ID solutions to avoid legal liability. It’s a real mess.

Freedom - https://freedom.to/

A very powerful cross platform website/app blocker with a lifetime membership option. Works well for blocking multiple fediverse domains.

That and space, think of the cost of having an extra room in the house for all that stuff.

Thanks for posting this!

Wonder what’s going on there

I'm a person who doesn't like private ownership of housing much, and personally wants to see co-ops as the predominant form of housing... But: Fuck these think tanks like IRIS, adding net new housing units helps as studied by actual academics in published in academic journals
Social housing is great, private housing, co-ops housing, housing is great. Choose your preferred one and then support making it easier to build more. Attacking the other types? You're drinking economic ivermectin if you think housing supply doesn't help reduce the overall price of housing. We're way too deep into a housing crisis, short literally millions of units, and instead of pushing for (say) automated upzoning on sites with non-market units to increase supply these guys are firing off blog posts which will be used by NIMBYS to undermine housing developments across the city.

Perhaps you could write up the sort of guide you are talking about so I can see what you mean? I haven't found people respond well to hitting them with much more than this upfront, and they get anxious when you don't give them some specific recommendations to get started.

I wonder if I should make a fediverse animated gif or short mp4 that can be dropped in whenever needed.
