De dónde sale el nombre de "Los Cantizales"?

Me pregunto quién le ha puesto el nombre de "Los Cantizales". Desde luego tiene sentido porque el terreno cuenta con muchos cantos y piedras, pero ya se llama así? o es un nombre inventado recientemente?

Are Market Economies Incompatible with Prosperity, Equality, and Broad-Based Decision-Making in the Long Run?

For me, it's a definite no, although I am curious to explore the arguments in favor of a yes. In the final chapter, Van Bavel summarizes his findings, and the title speaks volumes: “Why Market Economies Are Fundamentally Incompatible with Prosperity, Equality, and Broad-Based Decision-Making in the Long Run.” To support this conclusion, he outlines the cycle he has identified in general terms, divided into four phases (also summarized in a chart on pp. 384–85): In response to social uprisings against feudal conditions, a (more) open society emerges, with increasing freedom and self-organization among ordinary people (e.g., guilds, common lands). This implies a new social balance, with a broad distribution of property and political influence. It leads to open institutions that enable the growth of markets—first in goods and services, but also in land and labor—positively affecting living standards. Markets become the dominant mechanism for allocating land, labor, and capital, pushing aside systems of self-organization, often through state power. Values such as mutual trust, cooperation, and equality are displaced by market values. Prosperity continues to grow. Financial markets expand, and both citizens and states become increasingly dependent on market elites. Through the market, disparities in wealth translate into growing economic inequality, which in turn becomes political inequality. Market elites are able to influence policy-making and regulation in their own favor. Living standards stagnate. For market elites, it becomes more profitable to invest in financial operations (e.g., government debt) than in the real economy. Both wealth inequality and GDP peak, but living standards begin to decline, and access to political organizations and civil rights diminishes. There may be uprisings, but they are easily suppressed by mercenary armies. Eventually, markets stagnate, followed by relative or even absolute decline. According to Van Bavel’s analysis, the United States is currently in the final phase of this cycle. The cycle in Northwestern Europe began later, with a mixed economy that left considerable room for both government and civil society. However, neoliberal policies aligned Europe with the American cycle, accelerating it and putting it on a path toward the same decline. Van Bavel sees (too) little societal resistance to this trend so far. These descriptions may not sound entirely unfamiliar. Let’s highlight a few further aspects. First, the causality between increasing freedom and markets is the reverse of what is commonly asserted. The rise in individual freedom and opportunities for self-organization, coupled with a relatively high standard of living, actually preceded the development of factor markets: Freedom is not a result of markets, but rather an essential precondition for their emergence. Once markets become dominant, freedom is consumed and hollowed out by economic unfreedom. Factor markets, in this sense, parasitize freedom, rather than ushering it in or encouraging it. (p. 377) As more surplus is accumulated and the rise of financial markets becomes inevitable, the nature and effects of markets change: They became an end in themselves—that is, the simplest and safest way to make accumulated capital yield returns. As a result, financial markets began to dominate and suffocate the real economy. (p. 379) Furthermore, centralizing governments also seek greater control over society and find natural allies in market elites: Factor markets and their market elites, and states and their state elites, worked in close cooperation to destroy the self-organizing structures of ordinary people. The states needed strong markets to strengthen themselves […] and the market elites needed strong states to protect their property rights. .to protect their property rights, since growing inequality increased the need to keep the losers in check. (p. 403) A paradoxical effect, however, is that the reliance on financial markets leads to rising public debt, causing governments themselves to fall under the (political) control of market elites. To repay these debts, governments do not resort to taxes on wealth, but instead impose taxes on labor and consumption. "[T]hen the tax system effectively functioned as a transfer of money from the poor to the rich." (translated from a review by Jef Peeters, in Oikos, #105)

Citizendium

I didn't know about the story of Citizendium, a similar project from Wikipedia from one of its cofounders, Larry Sanger. I understand that Larry was against the direction Wikipedia took at some time. Here are Citizendium Charter : It planned to achieve this by requiring virtually all contributors to use their real names, by strictly moderating the project for unprofessional behavior, by providing "gentle expert oversight" of everyday contributors, and through "approved articles" which have undergone a form of peer-review by topic experts with credentials. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9793263/Nobody-trust-Wikipedia-founder-Larry-Sanger-warns.html Wikipedia:Neutral point of view

Introducción a Mintter Hypermedia. Bienvenidos a la Web p2p

Historia La revolución de la Web comenzó en 1989 gracias a su creador Tim Berners-Lee. Por primera vez, la Web permitía la publicación descentralizada de contenido, sin pedir permiso a una autoridad central y con acceso al mundo entero. Pero la Web nace con dos problemas. Por un lado sus limitaciones técnicas como sistema de hipertexto impide la colaboración descentralizada, enviando el progreso humano a la esclavitud de las Big Tech de Silicon Valley. Por otro lado, la falta de un sistema de micropagos embebido en el navegador impide cobrar en el navegador. Este problema fue acuñado por Marc Andreessen, creador de Netscape, como el pecado original de la Web porque impidió la generación de modelos de negocio distintos a la publicidad. Esto nos ha llevado a la economía de la atención donde el incentivo es el anunciante y no la colaboración. En los años 60, los grandes visionarios del hypertexto y de la interaccion humano-computadora, Doug Engelbart y Ted Nelson, se imaginaron sistemas descentralizados de colaboración, más avanzados que los que usamos actualmente. Sistemas como Xanadu de Ted Nelson permitían la reutilización de contenido, manteniendo las autorías y royalties, gracias al uso de sistemas de almacenamiento y de micropagos descentralizados. Por fin, 60 anos después de la concepción de Xanadu, la vision de Ted es posible gracias a Bitcoin y a tecnologías como IPFS y Nostr. Meetup de hace un año Hace un año, Gabo y Julio revisaron como IPFS y Lightning network pueden crear una web descentralizada; cómo funciona IPFS, sus diferencias con Nostr y por qué pensamos que son tecnologías complementarias. Introducción a Mintter En este Meetup Gabo y Julio entraran a fondo a explicar la herramienta descentralizada: El evento se hará en español con algunos bitcoiners presentes que puedan ayudar con la traducción al inglés.

La vida es sueño (1635)

Es verdad, pues: reprimamos esta fiera condición, esta furia, esta ambición, por si alguna vez soñamos. Y sí haremos, pues estamos en mundo tan singular, que el vivir sólo es soñar; y la experiencia me enseña, que el hombre que vive, sueña lo que es, hasta despertar. Sueña el rey que es rey, y vive con este engaño mandando, disponiendo y gobernando; y este aplauso, que recibe prestado, en el viento escribe y en cenizas le convierte la muerte (¡desdicha fuerte!): ¡que hay quien intente reinar viendo que ha de despertar en el sueño de la muerte! Sueña el rico en su riqueza, que más cuidados le ofrece; sueña el pobre que padece su miseria y su pobreza; sueña el que a medrar empieza, sueña el que afana y pretende, sueña el que agravia y ofende, y en el mundo, en conclusión, todos sueñan lo que son, aunque ninguno lo entiende. Yo sueño que estoy aquí, destas prisiones cargado; y soñé que en otro estado más lisonjero me vi. ¿Qué es la vida? Un frenesí. ¿Qué es la vida? Una ilusión, una sombra, una ficción, y el mayor bien es pequeño; que toda la vida es sueño, y los sueños, sueños son. Pedro Calderón de la Barca 1635 Azlen version 4 Branching!!

Can We Trust Information Without Editorial Review?

In a recent conversation on X, journalist Santiago Bustamante raised a legitimate concern: the widespread demonization of alternative information channels, labeling them as "hoaxes." Instead of restricting access, he proposes something more valuable: educating in critical thinking and encouraging cross-referencing between sources. But... what about channels that lack any form of editorial or scientific review? Can they be considered valid? The truth is that peer review remains crucial, especially in science and complex topics. However, we also recognize that during moments of high informational intensity—such as a crisis or unexpected event—editorial timelines may be insufficient. In that chaotic scenario, what tools do we have? The answer points to the future: we need better digital tools. Systems that allow us to verify, cross-reference, and collectively discuss information without relying solely on centralized structures. I propose the hypermedia protocol, which enables the discussion of topics while the article is updated in real time. The same process as Wikipedia but more dynamic in managing identities, permissions, and information tools. The process should work as follows: What do you think of this feedback process?

¿Podemos confiar en la información sin revisión editorial?

En una conversación reciente en X, el periodista Santiago Bustamante planteaba una preocupación legítima: la demonización generalizada de los canales alternativos de información, etiquetándolos como "bulos". En lugar de cerrar el acceso, propone algo más valioso: educar en el pensamiento crítico y fomentar el contraste entre fuentes. Pero... ¿qué pasa con los canales que no tienen ningún tipo de revisión editorial ni científica? ¿Pueden ser considerados válidos? Lo cierto es que la revisión por pares sigue siendo crucial, especialmente en ciencia y temas complejos. Pero también reconocemos que en momentos de alta intensidad informativa —como una crisis o evento inesperado—, los tiempos editoriales pueden ser insuficientes. En ese escenario caótico, ¿qué herramientas tenemos? La respuesta apunta hacia el futuro: necesitamos mejores herramientas digitales. Sistemas que nos permitan verificar, contrastar y discutir colectivamente la información sin depender únicamente de estructuras centralizadas. Propongo el protocolo de hipermedia, que permite discutir temas al mismo tiempo que se va actualizando el artículo en tiempo real. Mismo proceso que Wikipedia pero más dinámico en la gestión de identidades, permisos y herramienta de información. El proceso debería funcionar así: /

When Exactly Did Hal Start Running Bitcoin?

The early history of Bitcoin is still full of mystery—even regarding the involvement of Hal Finney, one of Satoshi’s first known correspondents. In a recent thread, researcher Alex Waltz digs into debug logs, private emails, and early block data to piece together a timeline. Contrary to popular belief, evidence suggests Hal didn’t run Bitcoin from block 1, but likely joined slightly later — not before block 49, according to the data. This detail may seem minor, but it reminds us how much of Bitcoin’s origin is still obscured, misunderstood, or debated. From block propagation clues to forgotten mailing list posts, every byte of history matters when you're tracing the roots of the most important financial protocol of our time. So, was Hal there at genesis? Not exactly — and that’s what makes it interesting. More on Alex Twitter Thread:

¿La energía renovable nunca llegó realmente?

El ejercicio sería más potente si una vez la comunidad empezase a dar argumentos y explicaciones el artículo fuese mejorando hasta alcanzar un alto grado de veracidad. Este es el post: Tengo una duda que espero los expertos puedan ayudarme a resolver. Igual es una tontería colosal lo que digo, pero... ¿Alguien que trabaje en uno de estos centros de control puede certificar un error tan grande entre la electricidad que se esperaba y la que realmente entró en su carrera profesional?

Se puede resolver el problema de la inercia solo con renovables?

HOW TO LEARN ANYTHING

Source: http://www.thetednelson.com/computerlibanddreammachines.php As far as I can tell, these are the techniques used by bright people who want to learn something other than by taking courses in it. It’s the way Ph.D.’s pick up a second field; it’s the way journalists and “geniuses” operate; it brings the general understandings of a field that children of eminent people in that field get as a birthright; it’s the way anybody can learn anything, if he has the nerve. There are limitations. This doesn’t give you lab experience, and you will continually have to be making up for gaps. But for alertness and the ability to use his mind, give me the man who’s learned this way, rather than been blinkered and cliched to death within the educational system.

About Mintter

Explore the frontiers of knowledge together Mintter is a decentralized knowledge collaboration application for open communities powered by a knowledge graph. Why Mintter? Humans need better collaboration and thought tools to solve ever more complex problems. However, the goal of most content companies today, basically social media or click-bait media, is to generate advertising by competing for our attention through emotional manipulation. More than ever, the public sphere has become a platform for advertising instead of a platform for constructive dialogue and critical debate. Conversations are fragmented, divisive, and plagued with disinformation, leading us to polarization. An example of how the world of publishing works nowadays: An epidemiologist expert writes an article about COVID-19 in your city's online newspaper. Many people will read it. Some trolls will comment on the article, and others will share it through a messenger app, igniting heated conversations. The expert's knowledge will slowly fade away without any educative reviews, challenging responses, or other informative perspectives. No one will learn anything—the policymakers, the audience, or even th e author. The article will become another failed opportunity for society to solve a complex problem. The main drawback is the actual silence of the expert, which will shy away from all the noise. The social dialogue that brings learning and progress to society is impossible with current digital tools. Decentralized knowledge collaboration In Mintter, we believe a decentralized knowledge collaboration network can spark human cooperation to solve our most challenging problems. Decentralized access and participation The application uses decentralized identity with public key cryptography instead of any logins. Decentralized identity allows users to sign their content and maintain their attribution in a network of computers without needing a central server; consequently, other users can reuse content while keeping the original authorship. A computer network stores the user's information, providing open access to permanent and immutable information through a DAG of changes.-- we use IPFS Framework. Users can connect to the network without asking permission and contribute to the existing knowledge base or public conversations. Immutable intertwingled knowledge We have developed a decentralized knowledge graph that allows users to change their content on top of an immutable set of changes inspired by the version control system git. Content immutability gives confidence to the knowledge experts that they can work on others' author work without the common web broken links. This versionable knowledge graph based on CRDTs brings about the uncensorship character of Mintter, as the collaboration happens without a central server by allowing peer-to-peer direct human interactions. We also provide a complete set of hypertext properties, such as fine-grained linking, transclusion, visible connections, parallel pages, and hierarchical documents, allowing the software to express and play how humans think and collaborate. Also, a star-structured discussion functionality brings the system a whole discussion experience. Open collaboration Build your knowledge open communities: for tech discussions across your development community, for academics, their group's discussions, and for public servants to have their open deliberation. Mintter makes your ideas exponential through a better collaboration dialogue within your community, with syncable and signed libraries of material that produce unique knowledge bases. Tech Stack We are building an application, a protocol, and a decentralized network for content creation and publishing for which we lean heavily on libp2p and IPFS. We derive significant inspirations from SSB, Dat, BitTorrent, and other P2P protocols. We like the great possibilities of the gossip protocol together with the nature of social connections. The backend is in Go. The frontend is in TypeScript with React, and for the Editor, we are using Slate JS. Who are we We are a team of four founders, Alex, Gabriel, Julio and Horacio, passionate about innovation, social progress, and open protocols. Previously, we have created socks, advertising, solar, and sustainable mobility companies. We are committed to many open-source software projects, education, and mentoring. We work remotely, and we come from distant places in the world: Iberia, Siberia, and Central America. We are always looking for nomads all over the world to become part of the Mintter Revolution. Building a Team We are a small team with a strong vision and highly execution-oriented capacity. We work remotely and asynchronously. We are technologists, always fascinated by the latest technologies out there. We are looking for people that share our vision and our strong feeling of purpose in building a critical collective intelligence through reliable, collaborative networks of knowledge. If you feel inspired by our mission, please, we would love you to contact us team@mintter.com .

What are Siloed Information Systems?

how not to silo information: What are really Ted Nelson Trails? For me, trails are the edit decision list and not the net of links. What makes an Information system open? Intertwingled? Should discussion threads be moderated to stick to a topic? now that that's above here, how do I resume using this 'page' without dealing with it. … "this issue is text fills up the space of meaning, without being 'digested' the way our central nervous system does? hey the key are bi-directional links here! and republishing p2p

Robust Opennes

Robust to attacks and open for strangers. Knowledge collaboration with strangers. Offer Software services on an open network. The problem comes when the bad actors attack the network we need to move to our central services for safety. We want to fight back to keep the network open. In the early days of the Internet, everyone was naively cooperating because no one was attacking. when bad actors started attacking, we moved to safety, sacrificing cooperation. How are we doing this with hardware Giving us Address Space boundaries, memory-safe languages, Object encapsulation, and Modern Cryptography giving us crypto primitives for safety. Impersonation: No one can seem to be you. Censorship: No one can take your "name" away from you. A successful example is Bitcoin. Your key pair is your account and holder of the coins. No one can spend your Bitcoin, and no one can prevent you from spending it. We did the same thing for our knowledge and ability to communicate with each other. We need to solve two Kinds of Safety. Proactive and Reactive. Are we storing passkeys or emails on a node? Conclusion
