* From P2P (Bauwens) to P4P (@jeffemmett ):
https://t.co/18xLPiD1HT
I started my work in 2005 by focusing on the ability of peers (individuals) to organize trans-locally, thereby forming a new type of groups. This is the P2P dynamic.
Jeff Emmett moves the focus to the necessity of groups, that are characterized by the capacity for provisioning and solidarity. This moves stands for the acceleration of the spiral of decline, which demands more vigorous counter-organizing:
* P4P, as explained by @AlineFrankfort :
"The Valley of the Commons article introduces a further movement: from peer-to-peer to peer-for-peer.
P2P asks how peers can coordinate and produce together.
P4P asks how communities can produce and provide for one another.
This is not a small linguistic variation. It signals a passage from collaboration to mutual provisioning; from digital commons to territorial commons; from shared knowledge to shared livelihoods; from projects to infrastructures; from networks of contribution to ecosystems of subsistence.
P4P does not cancel the P2P insight. It gives it a body.
The first generation of commons mainly showed how people could share knowledge, software, designs and cultural resources.
The next generation must test whether those capacities can support food, energy, housing, care, tools, livelihoods, governance and continuity.
The question is no longer only:
How do we share knowledge?
It becomes:
How do we build the conditions of life together?"

who has power?
every epoch of human civilization since the campfire has answered the same question differently. we mapped 80 answers across 12,000 years, as a living poster.
hunter-gatherer bands enforced equality by ridicule. venice picked its doge with 10 alternating rounds of lottery and election, so faction-proof it ran 500 years. daos let the minority ragequit with their share.

The word mystery comes from a Greek root, myein, meaning to close.
To close the eyes, or the mouth.
From the very beginning, the deepest kind of knowing and the keeping of a secret were carried in the same word.
Most schools train you to be useful in an economy that no longer exists.
@dEduSchool is the first school designed for the one that just arrived.
@hanverstraete, our founder, launched it today. It is the most honest response to post-AI education we have seen: a decentralized, non-profit school where anyone can teach, everyone can learn, and understanding beats credentials.
🔹No admission policies. No tuition gates. No age limits. Curiosity is the only condition for entry.
🔹Here is what makes it different from every other "edtech" project.
🔹When you finish a course at dEdu, you receive an NFT. Not for completing it. For understanding it. That distinction is the whole point.
🖥️On the teaching side: you do not need to be part of academia. dEdu gives you an AI Course Studio that turns your idea into a full, ready-to-teach curriculum. Title, description, artwork, a week of sessions. You set the fee, the class size, the date. The classroom builds itself.
🏦The structure underneath is equally serious. dEdu is a Wyoming DUNA: a Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association. No shareholders. No traditional board. Governed by its members. Administration run by a swarm of AI agents. Owned by none. Belonging to all.
This is what it looks like when the legal structure actually matches the mission.
First courses launch late September 2026. You can support as a Friend ($100), a Founder ($5,000, only 100 spots), or a Trustee ($50,000+, by invitation). Gifts are tax-deductible, 501(c)(3) in progress.
Follow @dEduSchool. The first class of the post-AI era starts soon.
Reading is collapsing, and yet, a minority is returning to deep reading with a vengeance, as I started doing myself as well in 2020.
Think about it: Literacy collapsed with the end of the Roman Empire, and yet, it created the Monastic movement, a new cadre of deep readers.
McLuhan, the media theorist said that every new media era retrieves the habits not of the one it replaces, but of the one just before. Thus, the Digital retrieves the Medieval. Medieval structures prefigure digital distributed structures. Cosmo-Localism retrieves Subsidiarity!!
Think about it!

Chat controls passing today should be a huge wake-up call; a reminder that privacy is a fundamental human right.
Plausible deniability and receipt-freeness are two of the most underrated features enabled by modern cryptography!
This is why we built @theInterfold!
MACI made receipt-free voting practical in a new way.
But it also made the coordinator problem impossible to ignore: who holds the trust, and who should have to?
From our Multiplayer Privacy conversation with @VitalikButerin and @auryn_macmillan.
@SterlinLujan I recommend looking into @theInterfold
re: private voting and resource coordination between independent parties (L1’s like Logos and DarkFi, agorist DAOs and other governance structures,…)
Receipt-free voting is essential for anti-collusion and censorship resistance.
For Trueo specifically, there’s a very practical use case.
Our oracle needs to aggregate votes privately without anyone being able to prove someone voted a certain way. Otherwise it opens the door to ppl pursuing or bribing Attesters to censor or sway their votes.
It’s important that projects like Interfold succeed because it opens up the design space for many onchain apps.
Rooting for them here!
To celebrate @theInterfold ushering in an era of green only, @hmzakhalid made this little app to turn your profile image green.

Don the green, then go bid in the CCA 👇
Through our work with HAI @letsgethai, we found that @CurveFinance customizable pools are particularly well suited for controlled-peg systems. As the pioneer of the vote-escrow model, the long-standing home of stable asset liquidity, and the foundation of a robust ecosystem of protocols and integrations, Curve is a natural fit for the next generation of onchain monetary systems @0xMoneyLeague.
