Technology slows us down

Technology slows us down
Our humanness
Our who-we-are-ness.

When you tell a story,

Humour is

Humour is
Lightness in the face of darkness.

E-Sewage

We are now in the Barbaric Period of
The Global Electronic World.

Prior to this,
In my own youth,
We were in the Tribal Period of it.

Soon, we'll need to start talking
About Civilizing this:

Bitcoins

Traditional money derives its worth from a promise.
The good word of the party issuing it.
In this case the country.
It's just like a contract -
Another kind of piece of paper
That depends on the good word
And good faith of the parties signed to it.
If I make a promise to you,
And write it on a piece of paper,
You could transfer that piece of paper
To someone else,
IF they knew me and had faith that
I was good for it.

"Good word", "good faith", "promises", and so on,
Have no meaning to a computer.

Bitcoins only have worth insofar as they have encryption power.

Bitcoin turns money from a contract based on faith to a game based on technology.
