Like a really condensed narrative, easy to verify, hard to come up with. Only certain kinds of individuals are good to come up with. So these are a lot similar to what's called proof of work. Proof of works are things that are really hard to do this work to glue one block to the next, but they're really easy to verify that it's a correct solution.

So you end up with these sort of analogies that we've already been using for hundreds of thousands, well, millions of years, well, at least hundreds of thousands of years, that we ended up with these social narratives that in order to have a reputation currency that is preserved over time and we can't muck with, build these blockchain-like social narratives. And that's great.

But the downside is that once a narrative gets up and running, just like once a blockchain gets up and running, you can't muck with it. And so if it creates something false... you're stuck with it for generations potentially.

So this is one of the things that, that I talk about a bit here and I'm trying to work into a next book, taking seriously some of these kinds of emergent phenomena that you have to deal with when you have decentralized currencies like these blockchain like properties or which are what social narratives are. Um, have these downsides of being almost unalterable. Right, right. Permanent mistakes.

Permanent mistakes that go on and on forever. You know, the Jews deal with this. I think the Jews got added to as being the evil, you know, goblin-type group that's controlling and puppeteering everyone 2,000 or 3,000 years ago, and it just never goes away. It just keeps on – it just keeps getting added to the same kind of narratives, keep moving on.

So there's all these terrible things, but there's also all these great things because you wouldn't have reputation systems that work. None of our social – none of the public square would work. None of the social interactions would work at all without it.

Yeah, I hear that a lot. I've argued against that often. And the reason I don't think that's right is every day you have countless encounters with folks in real life at the coffee place or wherever it is, cars signaling to one another and we emotionally signaling in our cars all the time. And you don't know these folks and you're You know that you don't know these folks.
