A coin or a bank note are far from being non-technologies, and the logistics to getting them to where they are needed are underrated.

Connectivity and devices are not that big of a leap forward from there and seeing how hungry western and Asian businesses are to open new markets in underserved areas, it’s unlikely lack of connectivity itself will further inequalities. Not for long anyways.

The need for powerful computing gear could, maybe, if there is any advantage to being part of the mining network...

There are three groups here

- those who have a say

- those who have no say but should

- those who have no say but who don’t fill the conditions to have it

I am advocating for the second group

And it is not a spectrum, the third group’s condition is often orthogonal to the second group’s condition

Said an other way, "Paris" should be defined as a greater area, because the center has extreme day to day and structural influence over those, but there is a point where it stops being the case, of course there is a degree of ambiguity regarding where to stop, but it is definitive and unambiguous that the current state of affair is unfair

No I lived in Rennes for a while I couldn’t give the slightest damn about Parisian politics.

I am saying that for many around Paris, Paris is like their very own city center, and they cannot move anywhere or do anything without going intra-muros, every single day. And essentially, out of two equally concerned people, the one who’s richest can afford intra-muros and is the only one who has a voice.

Many, many, more people than the 2 million intra-muros residents spend their daily life in intra-muros, i bet you could double that number, for these people not to have a voice in how what is essentially their city center is governed is extremely undemocratic. "Real Parisian" is an insulting term to use.
