Yeah the first part of my question started exactly where you think. My thought was... am I wasting my time trying to reach these people? In my heart, like you, I feel everyone is deserving of a chance to learn. And imo, especially those who most of society would not normally be willing to give a chance, are the ones who really need it more than most.
Just to be clear, the whole question about evil thing is NOT in reference to anyone IRL. It was just the next level of extrapolated thought.
My initial thought was yes, everyone is deserving of a chance to learn but that then prompted the thought: "ok take it to the extreme". If i say everyone, does that include even the most evil vile person in existence who will surely use the knowledge for evil? How about them?
That’s a deep thought. My instinct says that the timechain tells no lies and can defend itself from evil. More realistically, I think the bitcoin network has defined and implemented rough consensus in this weary world. The truth will be set free and the evil actor will be neutralized.
My personality generally includes a resistance to conflict, so stumbling on the ‘intro to Bitcoin’ conversation with an evil individual like this would likely never occur to much depth. Call it a character flaw of mine. Blessed are those who can muscle through the difficult conversations and / or with difficult people.
