Initial response I've little bandwidth for EA. The basic principle of EA sounds just fine: people devote resources according to their priorities. But getting into the weeds of their discourse is like asking me to mark a bad student paper for free w/no guarantee the student will learn anything. — Ruth Starkman (@ruthstarkman) May 28, 2022 I'm not against the Big Util, nor Mill, nor many manifestations of it, but EA is not related to the tradition of normative consequentialism and higher goods after Kant. No EAer would rather be Socrates. — Ruth Starkman (@ruthstarkman) May 28, 2022 Initial reaction Seems like a lot of strong claims being made about thousands of people who are actually quite diverse in beliefs? Probably worth noting that seeing people make statements like this makes me update pretty strongly against how likely *you* are to "learn anything" from discourse :P — Damon Sasi (@DaystarEld) May 28, 2022 To be clear, you don't have to care at all what a total stranger on the internet thinks. But if you're not aware that this is how your words might paint you to people like me, seemed worth saying so you can reflect on whether you are in fact OK with that perception of you. — Damon Sasi (@DaystarEld) May 28, 2022

“Truthfulness, honor, is not something which springs ablaze of itself. It has to be created between people. This is true in political situations. The quality and depth of the politics evolving from a group depends in large part on their understanding of honor. "Much of what is narrowly termed 'politics' seems to rest on a longing for certainty even at the cost of honesty, for an analysis which, once given, need not be re-examined... "It isn’t that to have an honorable relationship with you, I have to understand everything, or tell you everything at once, or that I can know, beforehand, everything I need to tell you. It means that most of the time I am eager, longing for the possibility of telling you. That these possibilities may seem frightening, but not destructive to me. That I feel strong enough to hear your tentative and groping words. That we both know we are trying, all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us.” -- Adrianne Rich

This is the idea with the most potential for Tezos. Next steps: Research where people have failed in building decentralized marketplaces. Figure out how to make the problem simpler so that it doesn’t hit those points of failure. HINT: Don’t make it completely decentralized, this might make it easier (check how) Make a MVP or a prototype (need to find a developer) Apply for funding Meeting notes for 13/12/2021: About centralization

Symptoms extreme and painful quantities of gas after eating painful movement of stool through the bowels very bloated lower abdomen (iileum?) pain while urinating around menstruation, and sometimes when bloated--this is relieved instantly by massaging the pelvis (bladder?) very deeply. Feels like I'm releasing adhesions...but this has to be repeated monthly at least (maybe twice during menstruation) sigmoid colon (?lower left part of descending colon) feels tender, and massaging is also feels a bit better, like massaging the lower pelvis. (maybe due to impacted feces in december it's more sensative?) rectal prolaps? I have something that pokes out after I try to defecate--noticed it in July 2018; I did a lot of walking and it hurt, researched and learned that if it's not severe doctors will recommend just pressing it back in. So I did that, and continue to do so; it becomes more noticable when I have so much gas and the feeling that I need to have a bowel movement though (I worry that I'm making it worse just by sitting on the toilet, as it pops out without straining.) stopped eating because of the pain; still had a lot of gas (probably from a snack the night before)--but it passed along with with some sort of 'gel'. Almost colorless (after drinking two glasses of water). I have never ever had blood in my stool, which I see mentioned a lot with this.
