Cypherpunk is a genre of fiction closely related to CyberPunk. It involves near-future technology themes, but focuses more on cryptography, decentralization, and network theory than on hacking, cracking, and culture jamming (though it often incorporates those elements in less central story lines).

Its beyond cringe. He lives in Malaysia and profits off creating political division among Americans. Twitter becoming X has allowed someone as dogshit as him to make that a job. I think he’s a grifter too but it frankly doesn’t matter to me in comparison to his “job” being more disgusting than any insane, cringe shit he says

Blue should get paid. Crowdsource this shit. Or, as Metallica said, "Fight Fire with Fire."

Another Angle

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

What about a series of videos, maybe weekly. Each one would take one controversial topic and probe its depths. Present the 10 second summary, and the one minute version, and the annotated five minute version. Invite others to critique and expand individual elements.

Maybe something like Wikipedia, but comprised like TikToks and FixedByTheDuets, and curated by pure scien-tists. Timeline tags with collaborative filtering to elevate the most useful.
