It's easy to read this post and think it's about feedback loops and governance discussions.
I think that might be a part of it, but there's something else at the heart of the post and that is the absence of from the ground up voting and a complete lack of true representation, for everyone, as it is listed in the TENETS.
What if the issue isn't about feedback, platforms, or the when, where, and how discussions occur?
What if the issue is more specific to treasury management and governance? Is this hybrid dPoS ideal for treasury governance?
Is the absence of direct participation disenfranchising to the average stakeholder? Are their other ppl or groups that dont feel represented?
Should there be a discursive or dialectic democratic mandate? Does the current Constitution allow for this? How would we capture that onchain?
When do we stop to consider these questions? Or are we going to continue building products in silos that arent addressing the integrity of several fundamental principles?
There's no good feedback loop in Cardano governance.
Those who vote aren't necessarily those who build and use the chain. You can sit on a ton of $ADA for years, never use anything on-chain and still have more voting power than anyone who's used all of it.
This needs to change. We need voting to be bottom-up not top-down.
I have my own solutions and will be building them into StarchPay. I hope that can be an example we can use to make Cardano better.
🚨Decentralization is a type of person
I spoke with @enfascination to talk about why so many online communities settle into what @ntnsndr calls “implicit feudalism, ”hierarchy" as a cheap accountability measure and wokeism as reverse dominance.

To reiterate the same message that this app algo-boosted everyone to dogpile against for the past two years & clown on ppl exercising their right to protest corruption in govt
"I am too educated & aware to be tricked with promises of dividend checks from deficit differentials that don't exist. I am too steadfast in my beliefs in separating State & Money to cheer for the recentralization of the crypto space that was incepted to insulate us from their involvement as they rug & manipulate us. I'm too secure in my ability to think freely & defend fundamental principles that ppl pretend, posture, or pander to for favor. & I will never forsake those ideals to destroy or harm the masses out of delusion, frustration, revenge, or consensus"
One step at a time, we will rip the roots of corruption from from the ground in our government, corporate honeypots, & elitist power broker flywheels

It’s International Bat Week!
It may sound strange but one way you can help Florida’s amazing bats is to make sure you follow proper procedures when excluding bats if they have taken up residence in your home or other structure. Fall is a good time to bat-proof your structures since bat maternity season is now over, and young bats are old enough to safely leave their roost.

Join us this week to celebrate and learn about our native bats and research efforts.

3 years after 9/11 and the US govt's enacted surveillance act (The PATRIOT Act), Nick Merrill - an ISP provider, got a letter from the FBI accompanied by a gag order.
He spent years challenging in court.
25 years later, he tells the whole story: https://t.co/PIZtQ9U7FV
There's probably something in your local area you'd like to see improved.
Chances are, other people feel the same.
Get together, figure out what you can change, and make a start.
Find or start a Logos Circle: https://t.co/LOhY5aQozo
A lot of people have given up on the system working for them.
Fewer have figured out what to do about it.
Come hang and talk about how to start organising Circles with activists.

I call bullshit.
The flaw in Leios is that blocks aren’t produced until the network hits capacity. When did that last happen?
It doesn’t reduce fees or create induced demand.
So you’re turning on an idle, secondary spillover block production function with no users.
No?
While most Floridians sleep, more than 30 million migrating birds can fly across the Sunshine State in a single night during peak Fall migration in late September and October.
This beautiful 1963 painting by Wallace Hughes shows a flock of Canada geese flying over a Florida sunset – a sight many Floridians have had the opportunity to witness over the years.
But Canada geese aren’t the only ones taking flight. More than 400 species of North American birds will migrate through or over Florida during the Fall migration period, which runs from July through late November. @America250FL

In the event that you aren't paying attention & still happen to be enveloped in your curated, inconsequential, ideological of choice...
The majority of the public understands the economy has been gutted, reduced to corporate debt, hyper-gambling, & fraud
Wages are down, profits are up.
Corporations are getting tax breaks, deregulations, and busting unions, while workers are getting suppressed wages, slashed benefits and higher costs.
Almost everyone of your problems can be traced back to this chart.
