Why You Stopped Trusting Everything
Ideas to take with you.
- 01
A monetary system that runs on confidence cannot let narrative, expression, or attention drift freely — as the debt burden grows, the pressure to manage information grows with it.
- 02

- 03
Compressing attention to a three-second window is a civilizational misallocation, because most of what humans actually value lives past that horizon.
- 04
AI removes the last friction from platform-side content manufacture, meaning the scarce resource in the next information era is provable human and energetic cost.
- 05
Bitcoin's deepest contribution to the information problem is not price but proof of work — a single record all participants can trust without having to trust each other.
