Zoë Schiffer: Right. I love how you said it. Yes, basically, if you potentially want to try to do the favor of curry with Trump, you buy in one of these schemes and perhaps you will be invited to a cryptocurrency dinner, which happened before. Maybe you get something else. But even only the perspective here are quite suspicious.
Jake Lahut: Yes. And in a small collateral element that we had in my Interloop newsletter this week, we had some new data on the lack of application in some way extraordinary by the Trump Administration in the technological sector, but Crypto in particular had practically all those who had faced any type of legal action by the Biden Administration, having the application actions completely or paused. And in one case, we are looking at the first stay of a company from one of these things. So it is not only necessary to collect the money for these things and expect a legislative victory, you can simply remove the warmth on the regulatory front.
Zoë Schiffer: Right. So our third story, I am really waiting for one that is not incredibly depressing, but at this moment we go to the Arkansas in which our colleague, David Gilbert, reported that a group of Americans is building a “community of only whites”, who call back to earth. The group believes that whites and western culture are facing extinction due to an influx of immigrants and minorities. And according to the founder of the group, access to the community is open only to people of European white origins who share common opinions on things such as segregation, abortion and gender identity. The return from the President of the Earth shared their intellectual inspiration with David, the journalist, saying that they were partly inspired by the risk capitalist and the son of immigrant parents, Balaji Srevenesin, and his book, the state of the network, which promotes the idea of a digital community of people with shared values, with the aim of obtaining a degree of sowing and autonomy.
Jake Lahut: And look, not only America, a long story of a pile of strange utopias well intentioned or simply decidedly strange, but this, a little different, because you are having the sovereignty of being racist. But in all seriousness, Zoë, how is it legal?
Zoë Schiffer: Yes, I mean, this is the real question. So the entire premise dates back to the 1968 fair housing act, which prevents housing discrimination based on the race or religion, but returns to the statements of the land that the structure of the community is more similar to the association of a private member. And so far the local authorities seem to agree. The prosecutor General of Arkansas, Tim Griffin, told Wired that his office did not find anything illegal for the community. Surprise, surprise.
Jake Lahut: Yes, it is like the incubator of Erlich Bachman of the Silicon Valley, but for white supremacy and racism.
Zoë Schiffer: Exactly. Exactly. Ok, another before taking a break. This concerns the way the United States are running to build a nuclear reactor on the moon. The wired collaborator, Becky Ferreira, recently reported that NASA is quickly monitoring a plan to build a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030 under a new directive by the agency’s provisional administrator, Sean Duffy.
