I like to pretend we already do live in a timechain and that the last block has already been mined and we are desperately trying to find equilibrium and build a new timechain before we self destruct. Makes the story more interesting vs having a bunch of incompetent people doing things.

Well, if we do live in a timechain, most of “space” is history, not a place. And if Bitcoin is a timechain (universe) inside of a timechain (universe), then it would seem we are witnessing the Kelvin (energy) move forward in to time (Bitcoin).
It is fractal, so if the blocks stop here, they stop everywhere forward in the chain. All that remains then is a thermodynamically sound theology. Unity of science and religion, not separation.
