Well said! Darn near poetry at the end there, sir -- even if it's tragic.

Nor is it going to turn the tide on literacy or clankerless authorship, at least not globally

Saving Reddit isn't very interesting, but turning the tide on clankerless authorship sure is. It may even be the holy grail (for me, at least). It certainly confirms my feelings that working on this weird thing that is monetary moderation is worth the time.

Right. So perhaps my question is: how does one neutralize Cantillionaire Effects (of any form, i.e. fiats/bitcoins, cronies, skills) in favor of quality, in a monetary moderation system?

Personally, I can hardly imagine that an overtone of plutocracy, cronyism or even a technocracy is a desired outcome, despite any of these being a potential outcomes. Maybe I am wrong about that desirability, however, I think that all of these are boom/bust cyclic and deteriorating outside appeal during boom more than appreciating it during bust.

I currently have captured 230MB worth of 5-minute lit snapshots since 2026-09-05T10:20:02Z. Maybe one day it can be of use.
