#Kaugummis enthalten zahlreiche Mikroplastik-Partikel, so eine Studie. Forschende untersuchten sowohl synthetische Kaugummis als auch solche mit naturbasierten Zutaten – und kamen zu überraschenden Ergebnissen. https://www.riffreporter.de/de/wissen/mikroplastik-kaugummi-studie-gesundheitsrisiken-plastikpartikel-plastik-gesundheit-umwelt #Mikroplastik #Plastik #Gesundheit @riffreporter
Anyway, if that’s not a turnoff, I recommend checking out this working paper from Stanford researchers Andrew B. Hall and Sho Miyazaki:
However, the rub is that liquid democracy, as a concept, is associated with blockchain. It didn’t come about because of blockchain, but it’s seen as an enabling factor. If you’ve heard of the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), yes, it’s related.

It handles the basics—military, the courts, the police—but leaves everything else alone, focusing on governing theft, public safety, or crimes of aggression. So basically zero social safety net, leaving someone else in charge of that.
Maybe that could open up better systems? Who knows.
First up, let’s talk about the night-watchman, or minarchist, state. A very minimalist libertarian-leaning, almost anarchist, model of the state that is essentially leaves government out of it except in very basic or extreme cases.
And when I hear “night watchman,” I think of Batman.
