Alternate take: Web3 is doing just fine.
Identity politics is bad in all contexts, including when it's used to get
people to buy things they otherwise wouldn't buy (which is the main focus

find them, not just on the web, and
How many subsequent experiences are needed? 2? A google? And is reality

Jay Garfield promotes his book Losing the Self on the Sam Harris Podcast. I
can see no evidence that Garfield ever read a word of Peirce, but It's
fascinating how closely he tracks Peirce's
