Peer to peer.

I’ve spent a bit of time developing some related ideas, but haven’t had time to start building it.

It’s a bit rough still, but I’d love some feedback! https://freetheinter.net/

we have to use trust from real life. it’s the only thing that centralized entities can’t fake

I think the key is building a social information system based on connections we have in real life. Key exchange parties, etc

It’s the only way to introduce a prohibitively high cost to centralized broadcast and reduce the power of these mega-entities

you’re missing the point of being transgender.

the goal is not to claim that they were born a different gender. that would be delusional, and transgender people can be totally rational.

the point is simply to live as their preferred gender, and ideally be accepted as such.

when they live as their preferred gender, they are able to feel happy and content, just like everyone else. it’s not that difficult to consider how miserable we would feel if people misgendered us. it’s a common insult.

treating everyone as the gender they prefer is a simple act of kindness. you can choose to be an asshole about it, but you’re not standing up for the truth, you’re just choosing to be an asshole.

gender dysmorphia is the illness, and transitioning is the cure.

With an optimum design, bipedal robots are likely more power efficient. Read up on the efficiency of the human gait to understand why.

In practice though, it’s really challenging to get an optimum design (the current state of the art is not even close), so polypeds are better from a practicality standpoint.
