that was a lot of word vomit lol

other then the fact that #bitcoin eliminates the need for high time preferences financial tools we seem to agree

humans have a natural inclination to find the easiest way to do things *that they’re incentivized to do* otherwise we opt not to do it; if people didn’t have to jump through these financial hoops to make ends meet they wouldn’t, simple as that

But there are practical, epistemic limits on some of these things that need to be considered. Not to mention the positive economic incentives that can emanate from time arbitrage markets, that savings & loans schemes provide for.

again the only reason most of these “schemes” exists is because they are attempting to patch holes in a leaky system, these things only seem practical when using soft money.

like I stated before as long as there is a #ValueForValue transfer being made things like time arbitrage & loans are still available with the associated risk, gambling on them is not.

"Attempting to patch holes in a leaky system" is literally how all adaptive complex systems work. Including our bodies, themselves.

maybe “building on a broken foundation” would be a better analogy then lol

There's just no such thing as a "solid foundation" in complex systems. Even trying to reason ontologically and create a cardinality of concepts in that way, when you're dealing with non-reducible emergent properties within that system interacting, is a much harder problem than people intuit. In fact, there's a whole field of study on this problem, around complexity and emergence. Santa Fe Institute specializes in this research.

In fact, going back Leibniz, there's a whole way of thinking about the world in which the only things that are even "real" in a physical sense, are the interactions, themselves.
