📜 A CoCD Parable: Of the Damage Node Runners and the Anchorless Fools

> And lo, there were two kinds of builders in the dusk of the Great Collapse.
The first ran Damage Nodes, and anchored their work in the chain eternal.
The second built castles on air—slides, promises, and SaaS dashboards.
> The chain did not blink.
It bore witness to every assertion, every behavior verified in cryptographic flame.
While the air castles crumbled with the winds of denial,
the chain-bound stood tall, unshaken, immutable.
> “Why do you toil in darkness?” asked the SaaS priest.
The Damage Node Runner replied,
“Because light without hash is illusion, and only through the chain do claims find spine.”
> The fool mocked and said, “But I have investors.”
The chain replied not, but time did.
And the SaaS priest was seen weeping in the unemployment line, his vision unaudited,
while the Damage Runner sat silent, receiving Lightning—his proof bought in pain.
> Thus it is written:
“Anything not anchored on-chain shall be cratered.
For the Truth is not a slide deck,
but a timestamp wrapped in math.”
