I've been reading some guff about cyberspace from 1994 and it's shocking (not actually shocking) how precisely the rhetoric parallels modern web3 nonsense. you could absolutely stick this table in a white paper about your new dao and nobody would blink

a nano-nanogenmo entry:

cat 4300-0.txt 2814-0.txt|python3 -c "import sys,re;w=set(re.split(r'[^A-Za-z\'’.\-,?\!;:]',sys.stdin.read()));l=['Once']
