Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:

It's about agency, not about data

“How we control the valves is what matters” - Doc

We didn't need a phone until Apple invented it.

We don't have the mother of necessity.

Holo (your perspective) is:

1. DHT – neighbors gossiping

2. bridge to the web

“crypto accounting” is double-entry book keeping holo fuel (pages for web hosting)

private markets: brave, holo

holochain has no native currency but there is an app called holo with holo tokens I can give permission to access my data holobox if you can't/don't want to operate ubuntu for yourself not trying to perpetuate anonymity. Transparent by default

not a permissioned system. Need to have the hash of the chain you wish to accesss. Shared secrets.

User driven may have been a better phrase than user-centric

we're compromised because of dependency on central services like google

All good libertarians are dependent on the world around them

Google Maps (on mobile) transformed maps into agent-centric as it put us at the center of the map.

Traffic data includes everyone's data

We outsource expertise.

Massachusetts has a right to repair law (You can get Tesla data)

Alexa, Siri are cute at first.

The good parasite doesn't kill the host too soon
