Thanks man, that means a lot. I do this kind of secretly even from my family (which is why it is hard to find time to write full essays) but it’s good to have another human to take a look at it. Did you read A Boring Utopia yet? That’s essentially what I want to build. Things that make fixing other things easier.
Please don’t nuke things every 7 years - reminiscent of a Khrushchev mandate.
The resilience of a complex man made systems is a concern. The power grid is one fascinating example. The Northeast Aug 14, 2003 blackout was caused by a series of electrical, computer, and human failures. The US-Canadian 2004 final report bears reading; search for the delicious term “A Normal Afternoon Degrades.”
I would love to work with you to build a private, encrypted online community.

I did read it. I found you from the Letter to Elon.
You can DM me on sm with the same username. My family has no idea I'm here either. ;-)
I think others need to see your ideas!
At the risk of sounding totally out of touch what is sm?

Current attempts at decentralized power generation are underwhelming (unless you have a stable waterfall or geothermal hot spot).
Did enjoy fungus analogy - mycobacterium are definitely resilient. Will try to read this book and return with something cogent.
