Hmmm, I see that Stacks has 2 seed rounds, a series A, and a VC round all separately listed prior to the token fundraising. Good to see you were able to be partly successful at traditional raising, at least enough to afford the lawyers and

I keep seeing this robot-like criticism of Diamond as "over-simplistic" or "hyperreductionist". But it's just a model? The map is not the territory, and Diamond has never claimed to explain all human development. Hi
