The cold incubator: the VC dream of workerless wealth.
The dream in its purest form, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies promise wealth pulled from thin air, spinning hay into gold without the involvement of any brutish Rumpelstiltskins.
Imagine a Hiring Process Without Resumes.
This approach, which eschews resumes, interviews, and background checks, focuses solely on human potential and provides employment to anyone willing and able to work. Some of these requirements, like background checks, may be necessary in sectors such as education, government, healthcare, and finance. But for industries that rely heavily on front-line talent — manufacturing, distribution, retail, and food services, where candidates can be trained on the job — open hiring offers the opportunity for more diverse talent that would otherwise be passed over or ignored.

Women’s bodies emerge on the shoreline between biology and culture.
Androcentrism, as it’s known, isn’t just a symptom of bias in science and medicine, but the consequence of a society where the ‘default-male’ is encoded in language, leisure and law.

Proper Release Versioning Goes a Long Way.
The mathematical case against blaming people for their misfortune.
The problem is that much of economic and social life in affluent countries is structured to require individuals to commit most of their resources towards one strategy for pursuing a flourishing life. Taking out a student loan or mortgage, or buying a taxi medallion, are all strategies that require a large, if not total, commitment of a person’s financial resources. Here, real hedging would require us to start from a place of considerable wealth, and so it isn’t a viable strategy for many.
