    How to fix the Internet – Nostr, Reticulum and other ideas

    Welcome to the Dark Forest – a pathway to resistance

    In this episode, I want to show you where are we going – what is the alternative, or rather parallel system. Does it already exist, or is it a hallucination of dreamers? How do we enter it – do we wish it into existence or is there another pathway? How big is it? It is […]
