Bitcoin & šŸ«‚ Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of ā€œharmā€.

Gotcha. Interesting! Would Roman Catholics characterize it as a change? Or as an explicit recognition of what it was all along? In other words, it’s not really conceivable that someone claims that the supply *always has been* 84M, but to my new ears to this topic it seems conceivable that they say the Filoque heresy actually isn’t heresy and isn’t new either, and is rather the truth as understood by the Apostles etc.

Very interesting. I love how much like bitcoin it sounds. Given that, and what seems like a majority consensus, why is the Filoque heresy not given a higher status? Maybe it would be if the ratio of adherents goes even higher than it is now?

Have you checked on whether you’re made of peanut butter?

I guess what I’m saying is I think there are other positive claims similar to yours but from all those other groups. Maybe, how do you know yours are the right ones?

Yeah I mean if there were a chance that I could be turned into a controlled zombie I wouldn’t do it.

The mark of the beast thing - it seems like people avoid tons of stuff worrying that it might be that. I’d like a lower false positive rate. Especially when some of the things could be immensely beneficial. I suspect people wouldn’t avoid it if it’s been safely used for years. Like cochlear implants maybe. As long as you don’t worship the beast, it’s not the mark, right?

One challenge to this idea is people who are intersex. For example, they grow up as a boy because.. they have a penis.. but they and have a vagina.. and then they grow boobs in puberty!

A fun extension of the analogy is that computers have stuff come through that gets misidentified as a 0 or 1 regularly enough that the following is needed:

Bummer for him. Glad to have fewer people talking about bitcoin as a means of ā€œprojecting forceā€ though… it always seemed like something that was truth-adjacent but not accurate.

And the best part, nearly all of the small ones are galaxies 🤯

Yeah, I guess I have a hard time believing that God is choosing which memories I forget and which ones I keep, but if I did believe that I would 100% be with you there

Since I’m giving this thing magical abilities haha, why not the ability to erase what you want to 😁
