- The ultimate mic drop: Time doesn't exist
Disruptors and curious minds, book lovers, readers! Welcome to book club.
Benjamin Franklin said once you lose it, you’ll never find it again. Theophrastrus said it was the most valuable thing you can spend. Pericles said it was the wisest counsellor of all. Oscar Wilde said punctuality steals it away.
Turns out they were all wrong.
Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein. “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
Or,
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.”
Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.”
Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.”
Time really is all we have. And in this months book club, we're talking about it in more detail than we ever thought possible. We're reading:
- The Order of Time, by Carlo Rovelli.
Welcome to Book Club, where serious readers come to get more from their books. It's where adventurous book lovers come to understand concepts, share ideas and get different perspectives.
Please Enjoy The Show.
- Artists…
Maybe we became such because deep inside
At some point we all got
Broken, hurt and betrayed
And now we walk around with those scars
Labeled as misfits, weirdos and creeps
The reality though is
We see
What you don’t see
We feel
What you wish you could feel
And we create
Create what did not exist without us
Create what was born thanks to us
Create what sometimes, if we’re lucky shakes you to your core
Yes we’re vulnerable
Yes we’re sensitive
Yes we’re depressed sometimes
But unlike you
We know how to turn
pain into beauty
life into story
love into tragedy
We’re artists
We touch with words
Caress with paint
And excite with sound
We make you
Remember
Cry
And feel
And most importantly
We remind you
That you’re still human
No matter what…
- You're not on Ethereum because you trust the EF, Vitalik, or its users. You’re here because Ethereum eliminates the need for trust. Even if the core devs and validators turn rogue, Ethereum will persist and thrive.
To bring Ethereum to the masses, L2s must also eliminate trust.
For better or worse, blockchains are a hyper-adversarial environment. The conflict of interest is ubiquitous, and even the most sincere actors can be compromised or forced to be evil against their will. To build something that will last, you need to choose the most resilient stronghold as your home. Key to this is technology rooted in cypherpunk ideals.
Trusting core teams is not a sufficient substitute for a trustless network.
You should be on @zksync, because ZK tech makes verifiable computation exponentially scalable. Not because you need to trust teams working on the core protocol or their own L2s, like @the_matter_labs, @grvt_io, @cronos_chain, @class_lambda, @moonsonglabs_, @SlushSDK, and many other contributors.
The most critical step in achieving this vision for @zksync is the broad decentralization of the network with a resilient governance framework. This is our sole focus right now. Huge progress has been made in this direction. We are coming close.
