@shmibs @augustus To explore while it's empty? Yes, I totally agree. Probably much more interesting. Kind of like visiting Prypiat. Not the kind of interesting that you want anywhere near your neighborhood. -

@augustus I'm going to guess what their thinking probably is on this"They could have maintained it, but didn't because it was a reminder of the cruel colonial era." -

@moth @Moon @TheRealClay @kev Not Even Wrong is a turn of phrase used to refer to a take so utterly out there and misinformed it transcends right and wrong. -

@Moon @TheRealClay @kev @moth Yeah, it's an uncharitable framing of an accurate understanding of it. There's plenty of examples of people willingly giving money to be associated with art they cannot physically have in their possession. And outside of art, there's also the possibility of unlocking something external to the blockchain with proof of NFT ownership. -

@lain @Moon @TheRealClay @kev @moth I mean, it is accurate in the way it describes it as a label that says "x person owns the Mona Lisa". It's just framed to make it sound as stupid as possible, glossing over the fact that, yeah, so's a deed to land, and few people would argue the value of that. -

@shmibs Being far is difficult. It's worth going through, though... -

@shmibs @augustus It's a potent cocktail. A mix of schadenfreude and implicit flattery. -

@shmibs @augustus Anyway, that's why I make the link with belief and being "smart", because an easy way to break the spell is to make them realize that they have nothing to feel "smart" about, that their uninformed opinion having a different outcome than another person's different uninformed opinion is not something to feel smug about. -

@shmibs @augustus Still, it's the same kind of tactics used by the media to encourage compliance and belief in their COVID narratives: "See? Bad things happen to bad people who disagree with us! But you're not like them, you're smart and you agree with us!"It's a nasty trick to manipulate, no matter who does it. -

@shmibs @augustus I know, I totally agree with you.And I don't think my friends TRULY have no sympathy for them. They are probably just eating up the tasty schadenfreude the media is pushing, and haven't stopped to think of those people as, well, people. It's hard to resist; I have to confess that it has happened to me as well. -

@shmibs @augustus For instance, in the those "person went to visit ISIS territory to show they're not bad, gets killed" stories. I have to confess that my first reaction is usually "ha! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!". When I stop to think about it, though, it's a callous reaction and not one I should encourage in myself. -

@augustus My friends were talking on tuesday how they had no sympathy for “COVID deniers” who died of COVID. I really had to hold my tongue not to tell them how vehemently I disagreed with them there. In my experience, people who blindly contradicts mainstream narratives, even though that’s not my position and it’s not what I believe, are still MUCH smarter than those who blindly believe mainstream narratives.

@shmibs @a1batross @lain @solidsanek That's a feature of copyright and intellectual property, not of NFTs as such. NFTs don't affect free digital goods any differently than copyright and IP already does. Everything digital that's "purchased" right now is not really purchased, it's "licensed". Unless you're buying the copyright, it's never yours, it's theirs, you just rent access to it. What NFTs offer is an alternative model to the "renting" model for digital goods, one where both the seller and buyer get what they want. The buyer gets actual ownership, not just a license, but the right to sell, gift, trade what they've rightfully purchased even after the seller disappears or stops supporting it, and the seller gets protection from the product being duplicated putting them out of business. A protection they already get in the current model; only the companies get what they want right now, as they have the better lawyers and lobbyists. -

@lain @a1batross @solidsanek There's a wonderful opportunity with NFTs to restore personal property rights when it comes to digital goods. If people knew to demand it, game licenses and in-game items could recover the ability to be traded and resold like physical media could. Sure, some games are making it a center of their promise (Gods Unchained for instances) but they mostly market themselves to crypto/blockchain obsessed nerds first. -
