I'll correct my take then: due to this, the epidemic of loneliness will start to surge like never before. This might pave the way to some reaction in the public opinion, but real concrete actions will not happen in 2026, I would rather expect them around 2028 or even 2030.
> If you mute politics and social media noise, 2026 probably looks like one of those years that we later remember as "stable" in retrospect.
I love this, we focus way too much on the apparent chaos of daily life. Any news seems like a big wave that announces something bigger and we spend our time (especially here!) imagining the tsunami to come. Then later, we realize that most events are just unimportant to the point we forgot about them.
We opted for immediate Open Access (Zenodo) rather than the traditional journal route.
The reasoning was two-fold:
1. Speed & Accessibility: We wanted to release the findings to the community immediately for open verification, rather than waiting 12+ months for a closed process.
2. Reproducibility: Since the theory posits the text is procedural code, we felt the best form of "peer review" would be to build a parser and let people test the generative rules themselves (hence this demo).
I heard some people were talking about using crypto to build a full State on it, this is doomed to fail.
Let's say you loose your wallet. What do you do next? You call your bank to block your credit card and to take an appointment with the administration to make a new ID, driving license etc. The cash in your wallet is gone but everything else isn't. The process is annoying but at the end of the day you'll be fine.
Now if all this is based on a private key and you loose it, you're completely done, you're just not part of society anymore.
No one will ever embrace this because humans are messy and make mistakes all the time. Crypto and blockchain are so resistant to mistakes that for this specific case it's just not good at all.
