@darch I'm in a 00:24:31 into the video and I'm quite thrilled to say that I love this guy π
> Most of what you hear about "decentralisation" is bullshit!
Yup! π Web3, Blockchain, NFT, etc are all a big fat joke and a scam! The powers that be that we seek to de-power are just using these technologies as a "front".
> Decentralisation starts with decentralising yourself.
This is a great description! π If we are to extend ourselves into the "digital world" then we must do so with ourselves being the centre of that by peering with others.

I'm gonna keep watching this all the way through, but yes I agree. Maybe I can go reach out to Aral Balkan and introduce myself.

Couple of other things I find interesting about all this, and weirdly coincidental -- Facebook is being described as "People Farming" -- Does anyone remember what the first and only game they ever built on their platform was called?! π€£ (_not that I ever played it, I never had a Facebook account, ever!_).
I also find it interesting the way in which Facebook/Meta's business model and relationship with their customers (_other corporations_) and their Users (_you as the product_) are drawn. Notice how it looks remarkably like the new Metaβ’ logo?! π

@prologic @darch agree to this. I like the things people are doing to decentralize. thatβs also a reason why I run my own yarnd and have it open for others.
@prologic I did play FarmVille a lot in the past. never paid for it, not proud of it. was a waste of time
