Advancing Ephemeral Realities
A 67-minute Too Bits voice session that opens on the legal mechanics of name changes — court petition, SSN downstream, ~30–50 individual updates — and ends on the metaphysics of identity-as-configuration. Walks through naming format rules (mononyms, trailing epithets, "the Red David Anderson", Diogenes Returns), the scriptural rupture pattern (Abram → Abraham, Jacob → Israel, Simon → Peter, Saul → Paul), Paul's body-as-tent / Solomon's body-as-house metaphors, Indra's net and the *this one* self-reference, the architecture of a decentralized identity registry layered on top of the legal system, identity-scoped financial layers using DAOs / DeFi / reputation-based credit, and demurrage) — Silvio Gesell's expiring-currency proposal that Keynes called the work of an underrated genius. The reframe is the throughline: stop saying *elite* and *system,* start saying **obsolete** and **legacy**. David's closing hedge is the personal frame: *just in case these psychopaths that I've pissed off find their way to me,* the conversation is left on the record.
