Thanks for the good wishes. It is really funny you bring up Lowery. I can't remember why, but when he hit the scene people who's opinions I respected dismissed him and his book. Aa a result I ignored him. Then, last night, someone mentioned him on a podcast, so I started watching an old WIM episode with him. I for one am interested to hear what you think.

Curating a weekly newsletter is one of those things that looks easy from the outside and is quietly grueling. You have to actually read everything, rank it, write commentary, and ship it on schedule. Thanks for doing this consistently.

Has anyone in the territory read Lowery's Softwar thesis? I keep coming back to it. The argument that proof of work is fundamentally a power projection technology rather than a payment system reframes almost everything I think about when I'm building. Curious if anyone else has engaged with it seriously or if it's too out there for the books crowd.
