I've been reading extropy magazine(a pioneering futuristic publication in the 90s), some topics like decentralized payment systems are no longer as innovative as they were back then. but I discovered several interesting articles:

A)In one of his rare fiction texts we have a fake advertisement for The Galactomatic-1000 (TM) Basement Universe( The galactomatic-1000) Written by Carl Feynman, computer engineer and son of Richard Feynman.Science comedy at its best!

B) Perhaps more curious is this article(https://arch-anarchism.blogspot.com/2023/12/the-thermodynamics-of-death.html?m=1) discussing whether the scientific search for immortality is restricted by the laws of thermodynamics.

C)arch-anarchy The view that we should seek to void all limits on our freedom, including those imposed by the laws of nature.(Article: Arch-Anarchy)

D) Smart Contracts: Building Blocks for Digital Markets(http://www.alamut.com/subj/economics/nick_szabo/smartContracts.html). Obs:Yes, I recognize that as I said above it is no longer as innovative as it was at the time it was published, it is still worth a look.
