Yeah I'm not arguing that there should be no updates. That would go against my actual argument. The idea is that we don't own the network exclusively, so we have no way of deciding what should happen on it except by a consensus mechanism that everyone consents to as expressed by their use of the product. We don’t get to dictate what is legitimate. I don’t get to proclaim that ordinals are legitimate and therefore I am blocking updates from stopping them, nor do I get to proclaim they are illegitimate and therefore I am upgrading the software. Unless you actually are the person working on the software, and even then everyone else has to volunteer to switch to that version.

At least, that's the idea. This isn’t some well-formed thesis. I'm basing it on my best guess of the natural rights regarding blockchain, which I haven't given that much thought. And I'm attempting to provide an alternative perspective. I think it's best to see what works. However this goes. Ordinals are not violating anyone's rights, and stopping ordinals would not violate anyone's rights either so I don't give a shit.
