Balaji masterfully captures complicated socio-economic dynamics in his catchy phrases:
- Trust the Fed, end up dead
- #AI, #Bitcoin, and China are the ABC of the coming collapse.
But most intriguing for me is his analysis of how history runs in reverse. His analogy that Social Fabric is like origami - folding in different directions, is something fascinating to dwell upon for longer…

I also thought history running in reverse was a keen insight of Balajis. Reminded me of the swinging pendulum, yin/yang, law of opposites.
Bitcoin gave me a great framework to think about other things.
In a same way we have a network of nodes preserving integrity of the BTC network, we can consider all of us as nodes in a network of reality.
Being a good actor serves you well.
Through 10 commandments or other ethical rules, Religions tried to communicate this way to ensure the networks of corresponding societies work well.
Looking at this through the lens of Social Fabric as Origami being folded in different direction - is another great visualization, understandable for human brain.
And I fully agree, concepts you mention, might be another lenses of looking at similar things.
Same as we have different Interfaces to interact with BTC or Lightning networks.
