It is interesting, that no one mentioned the basic concept of javascriptβs object oriented construct. There are multiple answers regarding the objects of javascript, but they are only the surface. Of course, the first I had to understand at the end of 90βs is, that there are no classes in javascript, just objects (yes, there are classes now, but classes are still a sort of syntactic sugar for easier development). This wasnβt that difficult, there are other languages having this solution, too. Later I went deeper to understand instantiation (if there are no classes, how does it work) and even inheritance. And I lost, slowly. As far as I remember I needed weeks to understand the whole concept of this prototype based OOP. And I found it cool :).232 views Β· View 1 upvote

Now in 2022 he believes the situation is reaching a crucial turning point and we need to wake up urgently. In this conversation with Rebel Wisdom's David Fuller he talks about how our current culture's domination by a 'left brain', reductionistic, materialist and literalist perspective had reached crisis point. He explains how this is manifesting as a 'war on reality', and a series of attacks on free speech. Iain's work can be found here: https://channelmcgilchrist.com/

Migration Your identity in Peergos is not tied to any particular server. Compared to other federated social networks where moving server typically involves losing your social network and meta-data, if not data too, Peergos allows you to transparently migrate between servers and storage providers without any action required from your friends and without any data loss. This means, for example, you could start out by creating an account on our demo server which gives you a small amount of storage, then effortlessly migrate to a paid server, or to your own server when you realise how awesome Peergos is.
