This article on decentralization as conspiracy-thinking magnet is extremely weird https://www.wired.com/story/the-hidden-dangers-of-the-decentralized-web/
I feel like there’s a real story there on paranoia and bitcoin and ct but like…the author uses the example of a decentralized network telling people to write down their security info and keep it safe as evidence for paranoid/mistrustful thinking. And Wired published it. Is locking my front door also evidence of “separatist”/conspiratorial impulses?
@waldoj Am I remembering that he went on to spread “ideas worth spreading”?
@max Different guy, same name!
@waldoj haaaaaa this whole time I thought it was one guy
@max @kissane That interview was profoundly stupid. I read the whole thing feeling increasingly aghast. Conducting an interview like that is dumb enough, but then publishing it? I don’t get it.
