感谢您上次发给我关于Zuzalu的信息,我也从中受到了很多启发。
Thank you for sending me the information about Zuzalu last time. I found it very inspiring.

Zuzalu 是一个社会实验,是一个创新型人类社区的原型。在这里不仅可以看到以太坊(Ethereum)未来十年将会是什么样子,还可以看到人类的技术和社区在未来十年将会是什么样子。
Zuzalu is a social experiment and a prototype of an innovative human community. It not only provides a glimpse into what Ethereum will be like in the next decade but also showcases the future of human technology and communities.

进一步,zuzalu让我想起了中国类似的项目/组织:706青年空间。
706青年空间起源于北京五道口,是中国第一家青年空间,试图创造一种新型的实体空间形态,目前在广州,上海,深圳,杭州,成都,南京等地都在落地孵化本地的706实体据点,通过社群式的学习,倡导一种新的生活方式和教育理念,让青年人探索生活的更多可能性,并且同时孵化具有潜力的706共创项目.他们给自己的定位是:一个跨文化青年交流领域的品牌,合作对象包括海外学生组织和公益教育组织。
Furthermore, Zuzalu reminded me of a similar project/organization in China called 706 Youth Space. Originating from Wudaokou in Beijing, 706 Youth Space is China’s first youth space aiming to create a new form of physical space. Currently, they are establishing local 706 hubs in cities such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Nanjing. Through community-based learning, they advocate for a new lifestyle and educational philosophy that allows young people to explore more possibilities in life. Simultaneously, they incubate potential 706 collaborative projects. They position themselves as a brand in the field of cross-cultural youth exchanges, collaborating with overseas student organizations and educational non-profit organizations.

另外,最近我又对稳定币这一概念进行了一些研究。
In addition, I have recently been contemplating the concept of stablecoins from a new perspective.

实际上,我认为现在市值最大的两种稳定币(USDT和USDC)并没有逃离美元中心化的逻辑,同时也并没有解决通胀通缩的问题(如美联储在疫情期间大放水)。是否需要一个新的概念:有效币,一种能够反映实际商品价格和货币之间供应关系的货币?
In reality, I believe that the two largest stablecoins by market capitalization, USDT and USDC, have not departed from the centralized nature of the US dollar, nor have they solved the issues of inflation and deflation (such as the massive liquidity injections by the Federal Reserve during the pandemic). Is there a need for a new concept: efficientcoin, a type of digital currency that can reflect the supply relationship between actual commodity prices and money?

有效市场假说(EMH)是由法马(Fama)于1970年建立的,该假说的核心观点是,市场是高度有效的,反映了市场参与者的集体智慧和信息的即时反应。这意味着投资者不能依靠信息的不对称或任何其他形式的分析来获取超额利润,因为任何可用的信息已经在资产的价格中得到准确体现。这是经济学里面一个很著名的假说。我在这个假说的基础上提出的有效币的概念。
The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) was established by Fama in 1970. Its core idea is that markets are highly efficient and reflect the collective wisdom of market participants and the instantaneous reaction to information. This means that investors cannot rely on information asymmetry or any other form of analysis to earn excess profits, as any available information is already accurately reflected in asset prices. It is a well-known hypothesis in economics. The concept of efficientcoin that I propose is based on this hypothesis.

稳定币具体指的是一些组织发行的一种加密货币形式,致力于保持代币对参考资产的价值,通常是像美元这样的法定货币或一篮子此类货币。
Stablecoins specifically refer to a form of cryptocurrency issued by organizations, aiming to maintain the value of the tokens relative to a reference asset, usually a fiat currency like the US dollar or a basket of such currencies.

从这个角度出发,有效币或许应该是稳定币的一个子集?与稳定币的区别在于它并不一定要以美元等法定货币作为价值的锚点,而选择某种特定的商品或者资产,能够解决通胀通缩问题?
From this perspective, efficientcoin may be considered a subset of stablecoins. The difference lies in the fact that it does not necessarily have to be anchored to a fiat currency like the US dollar, but can choose a specific commodity or asset as its value anchor, thereby addressing the issues of inflation and deflation.

在这样的背景下,碳排放、碳捕捉或者碳储存或许就是好的锚点?这样做或许能够解决以下三个问题?
In this context, carbon emissions, carbon capture, or carbon storage might serve as useful anchors? This approach could potentially address the following three issues:

1. 如何将人和AI放在同一种价值观下进行度量

1. How to assess humans and artificial intelligence under the same set of values

以往,对人类的税收是基于他们在物质层面的消费进行计算的,也就是货币计量。然而,人工智能并不参与消费,如果不引入碳的概念,我们无法解决未来人工智能公司的税收问题。实际上,无论是人类还是人工智能,都会产生熵的增加过程,从而释放出碳排放,而碳排放对地球来说是有风险的。
Traditionally, taxation on humans has been based on their consumption at the material level, measured in monetary terms. However, artificial intelligence does not engage in consumption. Without introducing the concept of carbon, we cannot address the issue of taxation for future AI companies. In reality, both humans and AI contribute to entropy increase and carbon emissions, which pose risks to the Earth.

2. 地球能够被人和AI共用多久。

2. Question: How long can the Earth be shared by humans and artificial intelligence?

碳排放是影响可持续性的主要因素。我们无法永久保持地球的存在(从原则上来说,我们在消耗地球资源),但我们可以通过控制碳排放来减缓对地球的危害。同时,控制碳排放也是以一套共同的价值观来管理人类和人工智能的方式。在这种情况下,政府和国际社会可以制定跨国(国际合作)和跨物种(人与非人)的税收政策。税收也可以成为限制碳排放的推动因素。
Carbon emissions are the primary factor affecting sustainability. We cannot sustain the existence of Earth indefinitely (in principle, we are depleting Earth’s resources). However, we can mitigate the harm to Earth by controlling carbon emissions. Controlling carbon emissions also aligns the management of humans and AI under a shared set of values.In this scenario, governments and the international community can establish cross-national and cross-species taxation policies. Taxation can also serve as a driving force to limit carbon emissions.

3. 碳化

3. Carbonization

我们的目标是提出一个proposal,通过一个概念来实现和平与可持续发展(以应对主观问题),而不是指具体的物质事物或变化过程。这个想法解释了碳币和碳税出现的原因——共同的愿景:共同努力保护我们仅有的地球,共同减少排放,构建人类与非人类之间的新经济模型。
Our goal is to propose a concept that achieves peace and sustainability (addressing subjective issues) rather than referring to specific material objects or processes.This idea explains the emergence of carbon currencies and carbon taxes—a shared vision: working together to protect our precious Earth, reducing emissions collectively, and building a new economic model between humans and non-humans.

这或许是值得进一步讨论的
This is perhaps worth further discussion.
