#GentleReminder

"We can't stop something, therefore we should allow or enable it" is known as an appeal to futility, and it's often a subset of the either/or fallacy, also called binary thinking.

It's a powerful framing shift: if you can't stop something 100%, then why bother trying at all?

But the real world is messier than that. People have choices, but 80% follow defaults. Harmful behavior is possible, but not inevitable. And well-intentioned changes to working systems can have unexpected consequences.

I'm a big fan of Bitcoin Core — it has brought us a long way. But no single developer always gets it right. Listening to the broader community often makes the system stronger.

I'm 40 years old now.

I totally agree. But sometimes those things we attribute as important, in the new state of being, may appear as not so important. Not taking away the "importance" they had.

I like you James. You are observant and well aware of the inside and surroundings.

May I know your sign?

People do change...it's human nature the ability to change...

They won't change because we want them to change...

They will change If they choose to do it !
