Ok, so I think the core concept you’re building from is that electrons are particles, thus can be placed in a jar like marbles for later use (or gas). However, this is an overly simplistic analogy, and although electrons can be ‘stored’, this presents some challenges. Matter isn’t a ‘physical barrier’ to electrons. You have an insulating container, you put and electron inside it, the electron can travel to the outside of it freely.

This concept is not as exotic as you might think, when you rub someone’s hair with a balloon, you pick up electrons on the balloon. Your balloon is a container of electrons, it’s statically charged. This isn’t just a fun party trick. Things like van der graph generators, and now pelletron particle accelerators use this ‘electron container’ concept to generate big voltages (typically millions of volts).

Capacitors store electrons in a non static way. You have two metal plates that don’t touch, on one side you have an excess of electrons and on the other side you have an excess of positive charge (absence if electrons). If you connect these to plates together they rush to meet.

Batteries are different again, they store electrons in ‘a chemical reaction’. I.e. you have two compounds that will react, but need to transfer electrons for that to occur. The only path for that transfer to occur is via the terminals of the battery.

Light always moves at the speed of light of it’s medium. Storing it requires to first address that challenge.

Can’t be solved, says only country in the world where it happens regularly.

“Unfortunately, without access to one of their contracts, we can’t know for sure what power the broader group of creators actually has. It’s possible that the terms are so favorable for creators that their shadow equity is as good as actual ownership. It’s equally possible, however, that the system was set up in order to keep any meaningful power away from the creators.”

I guess this kind of mixes up some concepts when we ask is nebula really creator owned.

  1. How does the equity get shared upon a liquidation.
  2. Can a creator cash in their shadow equity without liquidation.
  3. Do creators have ‘the potential’ for governance input.

I see some positive in the fact that they offer ownership of the top holding company to big creators as an option. The most invested have the full protection. I can see reasons for having a two tierd system with phantom stocks, mostly in making adding new content creators easy.

But I guess the question really is, is nebula willing to share standard terms of their creator contract?

Well your first statement is a subtle strawman. Ross said this way is the only way, because no one else is trying, not that it was the right way.

Secondly, fallacy fallacy, just because it’s a false dichotomy doesn’t mean it’s not also correct. Can anyone just start up another initiative now? Not technically, but practically. Or would any serious attempt just join this movement to add to the momentum. Then if this fails, when can another attempt be made, how long till the ‘political will’ burnt by this campaign is regenerated?

It’s such a tired line. You know what everyone finds creepy, people who don’t respect your personal boundaries and don’t understand basic concepts of consent. Neither Money nor looks can make up for that in the slightest.

That’s sure is some verbose ignoring you’ve been doing.

I’d say if you are concerned, then the door is open to start a career in psychology research. But I think you’d struggle to move your emotions and pre-convinced notions out of your own way.

I can’t say I know what I’d do if I were in your situation. But many people throughout history have chosen to write those books, and they have suffered for that choice, but they have also driven change.

Care to explain your point with some detail?

If this fails, I doubt we’ll see a second proposal. So I think it would be fair to measure any arguments you make as why no action is better than the proposal.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this petition doesn’t decide the wording of any law just ensures it is brought to attention of EU lawmakers and discussed right?
