Random brain fart: it is good that there are physical restraints limiting how much reach someone can have in meatspace. It gives space for respect and consent.

Maybe we should have a way to impose proof of work onto any comms to us. Updates to a software we use? Don't bother me right now, come to me after proving how important it is for me by doing the work.

Is it bad to make companies work to reach us? Would it make them put more effort into spam and less into real signal?

Maybe I should stop thinking for a while.
