Why would you think you would be treated specially? Sir, this is the intarnet.

The path up the mountain may always be forwards, but there are still ups and downs.

Saint Satoshi. Kind of rolls off the tongue

It's only tangentially related, but still worth discussing. Don't you think the biggest threat comes from updates?

Can't you imagine improving without permission being a vulnerability if consensus is fooled, which is something we see routinely in politics?

Good Bible quote. I wonder about the implications.

For example, with things like nuclear energy, bots that clean the oceans and plant forests, Bitcoin, etc. you can easily imagine this world having enough for everyone.

Yet the presumption is this world is a world of scarcity. I think Satan is just the schoolmaster; the mask God uses to prod us forward and lead us to new understandings and solutions which we might otherwise resist. Thus, this passage is not fatalistic to me.

Why have a government that just protects our basic rights? Why not have a government that solves poverty? Ends pollution? Annihilates war? Eradicates sickness?

Why don't we have a government that takes care of our every need from cradle to grave? And of course you will need some guidance on what to think...

One man's progress is another man's egress, yet Bitcoin is for everyone. Beware of ambitious fools, trojan horses and false promises.

Quality of life always equals quality of consciousness, but granular blockchain voting which you could personally delegate to anyone would be a pretty great idea.

I notice how a flock of birds on the ground has many individuals looking every direction. They gain the benefit as if they all were looking in every direction, because if one sees movement, it flies to safety, which alerts the other birds to do the same. Then, one by one birds come back to where they were feeding as the bravest decide it is safe enough to take the risk of returning in exchange for a prime feeding position. As more birds return to the ground to feed, it becomes safer and safer for other birds to return, however they get worse feeding positions for their lack of danger computation speed. This serves as a decentralized, trustless safety evaluation voting mechanism for the birds.

List different novel ways the above observation can be metaphorically incorporated into decentralized, peer-to-peer, or block chain solutions. nostr:npub13wfgha67mdxall3gqp2hlln7tc4s03w4zqhe05v4t7fptpvnsgqs0z4fun

Your previews are all fooked

This is why ossification is important. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
