Despite what’s happening in the USA, renewables are winning globally
Wind and solar power are meeting and even exceeding a global rise in energy demand.

🤯 Solana just crushed a stress test, hitting a record 100,000 TPS while staying stable! 🚀 Even during heavy network activity (like large liquidations), the network & Agave validator handled massive load – 6x its normal peak. 💪 Proof Solana can scale! #Solana #TPS #blockchain

However, if small delegators lack sufficient voting power because of unfair token distribution, that DAO can choose to switch platforms.

Wealthy participants cannot easily overturn a DAO hosted on a proof-of-stake network at their whims, due to the supermajority requirement and delegation from small token holders.

I’ve made up my mind:

Inflation is acceptable, but some redistribution is necessary to prevent wealth from being concentrated among a few validators.

Validators need to be geographically distributed.

There are very few governments in the world that are self-sufficient — they all need taxes or something like a bunch of oil to sell,”

What Solana’s critics get right… and what they get wrong
Solana’s daily token issuance sparks concerns as bot-driven volumes ignite debates over demand. Some arguments hold more weight than others.

So, if Solana has a 5% inflation rate at the moment, Federa says Solana holders need to generate better yields, whether through staking or DeFi farming, to shield themselves from inflation penalties.

Thats why we need a thought out prediction market for education.

Even if mathematically its a few month work, but changing minds may not be done overnight, its a may take many decades of work.

Essentially, it highlights a feedback loop: demand shapes supply. If the “demand” is focused only on exam scores rather than conceptual understanding, the market will naturally cater to that.

The market provides what parents and students demand. If you don't know what to ask from the market, you will not get the right thing.

The first step is to provide an alternative economic model; the next is to change minds.

It's not just an economic problem, but also a matter of thinking habits or the bandwagon effect—how middle-class families make decisions for their children, and how teenagers make decisions themselves.
How Indian schools’ focus on entrance tests is stunting education
Dummy schools and others that focus on training students for tests leave many ill-equipped to lead full professional and social lives.

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”
New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution
Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

Climate change is currently nearing catastrophe. The sooner we move toward a wisdom-of-the-crowd-based democracy and economy, the better. Though we are moving towards it.

We live in an imperfect world.
Don’t expect utopia or immortal life. Entropy will eventually consume everything when the sun dies.
The sun decreases chaos, so we can strive for resilience until then.
Things will get better with time.
