  • Didn’t he know all the information on the internet? Times have changed.

    Freakazoid knows everyone’s kinks.

    He has the unredacted Epstein files.

    He has access to everything in secure military subnets, including authentication as every general and admiral.

    He knows zero-day exploits for power grids, satellites, financial systems, and air traffic control.

    Freakazoid can blow up your pager.

    He can spend any bitcoin on a whim.

    He knows the real name and location of every spy.

    He knows the psychological profile of everyone who did online therapy.

    He knows what you did last summer.

    Freakazoid is why Adama said “no networks”.

    I’d say God help us all… but there’s a new god in town and his name is Freakazoid. He can hear us through the phone in your pocket.










  • Another great example of this being an economic rent problem.

    Namecoin is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies, but never caught on because it’s >99% domain name squatters. There’s no mechanism to increase the cost of renewal to anything proportional to the value of the name, so they always renew for practically free. Consequently there’s no incentive for web browsers to support it.

    A domain name is like a plot of land. Right now our choices are crony capitalist ICANN with eminent domain, anarcho-capitalist crypto DNS, or sailing the high seas on an .onion address.
