We've got a solid 5 with what we're building at LocalSense: https://localsense.com -- but it contains elements of #9 which is strangely high on the list.


A local, social offers app is going to be "equivalent of the invention of electricity"?

I don't mean to sound down on the idea- I'm sure it could work out great. But come on.


Only way I can read that comment as anything but shameless self-promotion (or, more generously, over the line entrepreneurial-delusion) is if they intend to morph their using of social status to get things into being whuffies.


You're on the right track.


No worries, it's easy to be down on the public message right now. We're all pretty confident in the plan to overhaul the way commerce works in general, possibly to the end of supplanting "money" entirely. :)


Don't know if this is sarcasm or not... hmmm...

#9 is transhumanist dogwhistle phrasing-- it essentially means the end of the world.


Well duh, that's Eliezer Yudkowsky. That's essentially his life goal.


You cannot be serious.
