“Plurality” is defined as “technology for collaboration across social difference”. This contrasts with a common element between Libertarianism and Technocracy: that both consider the world to be made up of atoms (viz. individuals) and a social whole, a view we call “monist atomism”. While they take different positions on how much authority should go to each, they miss the core idea of Plurality, that intersecting diverse social groups and the diverse and collaborative people whose identities are constituted by these intersections are the core fabric of the social world.

Apparently their business model is focussing on building “the digital financial rails of the future”.

I’m struggling to see how they plan to earn back that 6M…

… Bitcoin can as easy adopt new NIST post-quantum key generation standards and integrate everything they could possibly offer.

Oxford Quantum Circuits’ roadmap 📈 — a quantum take on Moore’s Law?

Classical computing had Moore’s Law doubling transistors every ~2 years.
Now quantum computing has its own trajectory.
Oxford Quantum Circuits is scaling fast—are we approaching the inflection point?

Around 100-200 high-fidelity qubits, we unlock simulation power beyond classical supercomputers—think molecular modeling, optimization, Shor’s algorithm at scale.

The hardware curve is steep.
But the true bottleneck: fault-tolerance + quantum error correction.
Moore’s Law for quantum ≠ just more qubits—it’s about coherent, controllable, and connected qubits.

The computing power of a quantum computer is statistical and therefore allows to grow exponentially with the number of qubits. To that end, we are entering a post-Moore era in which computing hardware economical market optimization is done on computing power and efficiency instead of number of transistors - Koomey’s law this is called.

Who is Pico?

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463–1494) was a key figure of the Italian Renaissance — a philosopher, theologian, and humanist best known for his work Oration on the Dignity of Man, often called the “Manifesto of the Renaissance.”

Why is Pico important?

• Human dignity & freedom: In a time when most people believed their place in the world was fixed (by God, tradition, or social hierarchy), Pico argued that human beings are unique because they have free will — the ability to shape themselves through reason and choice. He believed that humans are not bound by fate or biology, but are free to ascend toward the divine or fall into corruption based on their own actions.

• Synthesis of knowledge: Pico sought to reconcile diverse philosophies — Christian, Jewish (Kabbalistic), Islamic, Greek (especially Plato and Aristotle) — aiming to show that all wisdom pointed to universal truths. This made him a symbol of intellectual openness and unity.

• The Oration on the Dignity of Man: In this text, Pico writes that God placed man “in the middle of the world,” with no fixed nature — so that humans might shape themselves “into whatever form they shall prefer.” This was radical: it placed agency and moral responsibility squarely on the individual.

In 1486, Pico della Mirandola wrote that humans alone shape their own nature — not by decree, but by choice. This was the Renaissance idea of dignity: that freedom begins within, and flows outward through thought, word, and creation.

Today, the EU’s “Going Dark” initiative seeks to place a key in every lock — to open every private channel of communication “just in case.”

But if every message can be read, every thought traced, what remains of the space where freedom once began?

Can a democracy born of Renaissance ideals survive when its citizens are never truly alone?
