While evil ideas are the root of evil actions, it's monetary monopoly that makes the most evil ideas actionable.
Discussion
Right on.
I was just thinking about this today, wondering what were the intentions of Satoshi and also realizing that it's irrelevant as "it's the monetary policy that makes most evil ideas actionable".
In other words, it doesn't matter where we start from, the economic means have to be hard money, because the alternative is always worse.
And another conclusion is that Bitcoin won't solve everything right away, but it will make things slowly better, by making it harder to do evil things, both in quantity and in quality.
Cheers!
Now if only we knew what 'evil' actually means and if such thing as pure 'evil' even exists.
The meaning of the word "evil" has a core that we don't need to challenge. We've had enough deconstructionism in my lifetime.
This is a highly important debate - which to my surprise - we are still avoiding. Yes, we are misunderstanding freedom! And we now have a chance to set straight that misconception.
Over time, I came to agree with J. Krishnamurti: After all we experienced throughout known human history, now to still come and proclaim pure evil exists, is the most evil act that can be performed. There's only goodness (godliness, holiness, wholeness) or unawareness.
This question needs to be explored beyond mind and matter.
