- Shuudan Koudou Is the Japanese Art of Synchronized Precision Walking - Humans are pretty amazing, we can do so much already, imagine what things are going to be possible when we start using AI to enhance our intelligence, how will we integrate the coming cambrian explosion of our minds into our societies?

- There's a Max Keiser piece on RT at the minute where he interviews a Bitcoin guy that is wearing a surgical mask, it's quite a segment (I can't find it so I'm linking to another video I found) - Max's approach is interesting, a bit like the music I just linked to, I don't understand all the concepts he talks about but he's essentially a software developer, like a Noam Chomsky of money, the way he handles higher level concepts is clearly done with a lot of experience and skill, but anyway the piece got me thinking about anonymity and how healthy it is in society in the long term, when the people organizing things are essentially virtual, will they still have our best interests at heart? If there is ever a longterm cyberwar lasting longer than a generation it would be very problematic to return to normality, how would we even teach our children what had happened?

- I walked past some interesting tomb stones today so this article struck a chord with me - Farage warns of the 'final betrayal' over Brexit

- Local-first software - You own your data, in spite of the cloud - I haven’t had time to fully read this article yet but the topic is interesting
