I think that even if you are as critical as you could possibly imagine - say you think ordinals are literally the work of the Devil, out to thwart our glorious future of a decentralised money - then you still have to treat it at the following conceptual level if you are being intellectually honest: this is just spam. if we can’t deal with spam, then we really are fucked. a globally distributed network, inherently adversarial to nation state money printers, cannot subsist on begging and shaming people out of spamming it. it’s either open or its not.

That’s absolutely right. It’s just spam.

…so much for arguing lol

Thanks for engaging. Good to connect with you after reading your writing for the last year.

then argue about something else.

what do you think about the continuum hypothesis? solved or no?

Sir, while I used to be good at math, I stopped at calculus and went to art school.

After looking it up, I can conclude that I need to first brush up on my math vocabulary before I even have a chance of coming to any conclusions.

yeah but just argue.

It’s clearly not solved.

OH YEAH?!? then how do you explain Gödel’s and Cohen’s proofs?!?

Proofs!? More like spoofs!

that’s hilarious because actually I don’t think it’s been solved and I’m gonna use this line in the future. thanks 😊

Please do! Glad I could help.

I was going to do more research but figured I’d counter with humor.
