Replying to Avatar Thomas Paine

It's really hard to keep up with all the options these days. I'm afraid we're no longer 'finishing' stuff but continuously start over.

Flooding people with seemingly important stuff to care about. This occurs on social, philosophical and technological level.

I don't mean to criticise but this restlessness just makes me sad.

This is how the technological progress works. First, it’s unstoppable per se. Second, it moves forward incrementally. It requires an accumulation of certain knowledge to boost the next jump. I believe what we’re seeing rn (encryption techniques, relay infrastructure, grow and adoption of lightning) is exactly such a boost.

The incremental progress I've made since I started has added up to profound change of mind.

It's not going to be "easy" to unlearn and rebuild how the entire world communicates.

But it very well may be unstoppable.

Unless, like, the sun throws a heinous fart our way.
