I’m the other way around - I took one trip to the Netherlands and didn’t expect to come back forever changed. I know what good public transit looks like now and can’t unsee it. Since then I’ve picked apartments based on how bicycle and metro connected they are.

The assistance I need: my snail mail address is actually a service that scans the letters and turns them into email. Then I don’t need to go check the mail, I can filter it, and I can easily turn it into reminders.
There’s a few if they know what to look for. Every once in a while when I’m in the zone at work, I’ll notice my fingers playing the piano (“stimming”) and hide them in my pockets.
When my spouse and I had kids, they expected me to “get my act together” - essentially, to stop having executive dysfunction.
In order to do laundry, I need to move the previous load out of the dryer, determine whose clothes it is (could be mixed), sort it, fold it, put it away, and THEN I can start the next load. This is an insurmountable mountain to me. Having separate bins for each person and splitting it into multiple tasks was deemed “controlling”.
We’re starting couples therapy now.
If you date a neurotypical, then make it absolutely crystal clear that this is who you are; not a choice, not laziness.

2·4 days agoLet’s say I open a factory and issue shares on Ethereum. Then for whatever reason a judge orders the company to give up some shares. The shareholders, safely in cypherspace, ignore that court order. And then the state seizes the whole factory. In practice the original shares no longer mean anything.

2·4 days agoIf your organization is decentralized, then its assets can’t be seized by a court order. For example, darknet market admins (arbitrators) and their drug dealers don’t even know who each other are. They’ve had a polycentric legal system for years.
But corporate stock remains centralized. They have a known headquarters with a known board of trustees. Their assets aren’t carried on-chain; only some guy’s promise to those assets.
My point is that an anarchist economy needs to be built from the ground up, circumventing the state’s legal system. Slapping a blockchain on top of an already centralized system won’t make it decentralized and thus provides no benefit.
