“An idea has an aim. It wants something. It posits a value structure. An idea believes that what it is aiming for is better than what it has now. It reduces the world to those things that aid or impede its realization, and it reduces everything else to irrelevance. An idea defines figure against ground.

An idea is a personality, not a fact. When it manifests itself within a person, it has a strong proclivity to make of that person its avatar: to impel that person to act it out.”

-Jordan Peterson, 12 Rules for Life

Thought of bitcoin when I read this. I think we are all possessed by an idea that has changed our whole lives. Can’t speak for y’all but i am a completely different person after discovering bitcoin.
