Zoë Schiffer: Normal. I love this, as you said. Yes, basically, if you want to potentially try curry Favor with Trump, you buy one of these programs and maybe you will be invited to a fancy cryptographic dinner that took place earlier. Maybe you’ll get something else. But even only optics is very suspicious.
Jake Lahut: Yes. And in a compact side position, which we had in my Interoop Bulletin this week, we had novel data about the slightly stunning lack of enforcement of Trump’s administration in the technology sector, but in particular Krypto had almost all who had all legal action from Biden administration, and their enforcement actions either fell or stopped. And in one case we look at the first pardon of the company from one of these things. So you don’t have to just strengthen your money for these things and expect a legislative win, you can simply get the heat out of you on the regulatory front.
Zoë Schiffer: Normal. So our third story, I am really waiting for one that is not extremely depressing, but now we are going to Arkansas, where our colleague, David Gilbert, announced that a group of Americans is building “the community only for white”, which they call return to Earth. The group believes that white people and Western culture are standing before the influx of immigrants and minorities. According to the group’s founder, access to the community is only open to white European ancestors who share common views on things such as segregation, abortion and sexual identity. Return to the President of the Earth shared his intellectual inspiration with David, a reporter, saying that their Venture Capital and son of immigrants, Balaji Srevenesin and his book The Network State, who promotes the idea of a digital community of people with common values, along with the intention to obtain the degree of realization and autonomy, were partly inspired.
Jake Lahut: And look, not only America, a long story of a group of crazy good intentions or simply strange utopias, but this one, a little different, because you have sovereignty to be racist. But seriously, zoë, how is any of this legal?
Zoë Schiffer: Yes, that is, this is a real question. Thus, the whole premise dates back to the act on an forthright apartment from 1968, which prevents housing discrimination based on a race or religion, but returns to the claims of the land that the structure of the community is more similar to the Association of Private Member. And so far local authorities seem to agree. Prosecutor General Arkansas, Tim Griffin, told Wired that his office did not recognize anything illegal in the community. Surprise, surprise.
Jake Lahut: Yes, it’s like the incubator of Erlich Bachman from the Silicon Valley, but for white supremacy and racism.
Zoë Schiffer: Exactly. Exactly. Ok, one more before we take a break. This applies to how the US is racing to build a nuclear reactor on the moon. Becky Ferreira, a wired collaborator, recently informed that NASA quickly follows the plan to build a nuclear reactor on the moon until 2030 under the novel directive of the momentary administrator of the agency, Sean Duffy.
