I see. I guess that’s the cat Descartes let out of the bag with “ego cogito sum”.

Ah Rousseau. That whole anthropology falls apart by simply asking “what about babies?”

Definitely, I like what Juan Donoso Cortes outlines in “Essays on Catholicism, Liberalism, and Socialism” which basically highlights that when the fundamental dogma of original sin is rejected, there’s a logical inconsistency in where evil stems from. If humans are basically good then what’s causing there to be evil in the world? The state is comprised of people so the socialist solution of aggrandizing the state still fails to address the fundamental problem of evil.

Bitcoin does not “solve” our sinful nature.
