Burdens of Proof

Opens November 8th 2020 from Colorado on the burdens of proof, saying after two videos hard on the right he will be bipartisan and anger everyone about the concept of consent of the governed.

Argues Americans mostly do not elect their leaders, since primaries are monopolistic with no viable third party, the Libertarian Party getting 1 percent, and media, social media, and the administrative state all working against outsiders.

The left misses why people love Trump: he is the first since Eisenhower to take over a party without permission, like Reagan, versus the same-old choice of a Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.

The correct response was pushing for systems giving citizens more control, but instead the government, media, Silicon Valley, and institutions closed ranks around a 78-year-old to remove a perceived pathogen.

The 70 million who disagreed must just accept the result, but nothing goes back to normal since Americans have tasted the ability to change the narrative.

Asks why so many think the election is corrupt, since the institutions meant to audit it were against a candidate, and the media that pushed the Russia theory has no credibility.

Predicts the left turns on itself as promises of taxing billionaires stall while Jeff Bezos keeps getting richer and the AOC wing revolts, the right regains seats in 2022 and 2024, and no institutions remain to give faith the votes were legitimate, since had Trump won 70 million Democrats would be in the streets.

Calls it a pivotal moment amid the Great Reset, where elites float around wanting to solidify a world order in which very few control very many.

The auditing institutions are incestuous and nepotistic, the internet made information flow instantly, and society faces an existential crisis of how to govern people who no longer consent.

The point of the industry is a conversation about governance, whose first application was the governance of money, since central banks and Wall Street have no incentive to change and never lose from their own mistakes, a moral hazard.

Reminds Paul Krugman and the economists who said Bitcoin could not work that a dollar left in a bank lost 25 percent of its buying power while a dollar of Bitcoin became over 100000, the power of deflationary money.

The same governance tools apply to property, identity, contracts, and voting, yet no voter including himself can verify their vote was counted for the person they chose.

In the age of Google and HoloLens voters still cannot verify their votes, and the wars ahead are not left versus right but about the relationship between the governed and those who govern.

Voters elect leaders without KPIs or specific targets, just buzzwords like hope and change, whereas in business he has KPIs, OKRs, and no deficit spending, so they should demand a report card on where money is spent.

No one wants vote verification because rulers cannot deliver when held accountable, and Biden, a 78-year-old of 47 years in government, part of the Iraq war, drug war, and 1990s crime bills, will not magically become effective.

There is no decency in calling half the country deplorable, racist, and Hitler-worshipping or promoting disowning family, which is a recipe for civil war.

Urges the angry to ask how to do things differently by starting local in municipalities where small groups decide, getting blockchains into your city, then the state, then the US, or a constitutional convention if the federal government is unreignable.

Do not succumb to division seeing opponents as evil or Nazis, tools elites use, and that the time has come for the Great Decentralization of social media as Facebook and Twitter must end since unelected Silicon Valley corporatists should not decide what is real.

He builds tools patent-free, open-source, and neutral, never allowing deplatforming or censorship, since censorship arguments really mean the stuff someone disagrees with is hate speech, producing insane outcomes like the Ayatollah's death-to-Israel tweets staying while the White House Press Secretary is deplatformed.

Beyond a municipal revolution society needs a protocol revolution to replace social media hegemonies, plus a global conversation about where humanity goes by 2100, whether GDP or human development is the measure, and what is a right versus an aspiration, though bureaucrats put Saudi Arabia on the human rights committee.

The internet makes humanity one people with no need for tribalism, and the industry can govern without a world leader or unelected committee, since this century will decide how billions live for the next 5 to 10 centuries, like Rome, the Catholic Church, and the British and American empires before.

Warns of dangerous coming tech like CRISPR, nanotechnology, and AI, citing the Fermi Paradox, and predicts new religions will replace old ones for a life of abundance that has lost its meaning, making this the century to put up or shut up.

He is an optimist and this is the first century where libertarianism can do great good, already proven on monetary policy, and the burden of proof is whether an optimistic collective viewpoint makes your life better or worse in fear and cynicism.

It is better to die believing you can change everything than live in fear you cannot, which is the point of the industry and why he stays political, since this is not about making ADA a dollar but changing the fabric of how the human race works over decades.

Cryptocurrencies are crazy enough to believe they can change the world, using no intellectual property, the scientific method, and inclusion across 40 countries toward billions, asking whether you would want to be a billionaire in Russia, North Korea, or China where it can be taken away.

Closes that even 10 percent of the goal slows the slide toward centralization and few controlling many, so people cannot celebrate too soon or demonize, but must treat each other as human beings with common decency.
