From @separ8 on X

"The “What is spam?” debate is the exact same psychological pattern we saw in the “What is a woman?” discourse.

Confusion elevated into a virtue, uncertainty marketed as intelligence, and basic definitions suddenly treated as controversial.

It’s the same mechanism, just wrapped in a Bitcoin skin.

Core didn’t just drift technically.

They turned conceptual fog into a badge of sophistication. And they’ve managed to convince wide-eyed new developers that this fog represents some kind of higher philosophical plane, rather than a failure to anchor Bitcoin in its founding principles.

One day, people will look back and genuinely ask:

“How did anyone ever equate spam-prevention with censorship?”

The same way we now ask how anyone ever pretended a man could become a woman.

The irony:

Core’s most enduring legacy may be neither code nor design.

Core’s only immortal contribution to humanity will be the word “Coretard”: the clinical term for someone so marinated in abstractions they can no longer tell what is spam on Bitcoin.

Truly fascinating.
