Playing "God" is all humans are good at.
This tech is literally the opposite of extinction.
Using this allows us to continue to survive against nature's odds. Like we have for millennium.
But that is the question. Ask a random person on the street: would YOU die in this war. If they say no, they have no legitimacy to ask anyone else.
What I wanna know is: does the actual population what to go to the front lines?
If so, legitimate. If not, same old cronies killing young people.
Gonna need a source on that.
I have a little early morning philosophical musing.
The #statists like asking "Who will build the roads?" when trying to defend the need for a state, and the #libertarians like answering with "The ones that need them".
I submit that in fact it is "The ones who WANT them".
Small distinction but very important due to the underlying perceived origin of the problem.
"Need" assumes a egocentric view, that only the things that affect you directly should you care about.
"Want" assumes that your inner desires for the world are what truly matter and that can very well be altruistic in nature.
It stems from a different belief in human nature. I believe almost everyone is good at heart, but capable of great evil if they feel it's needed.
It's a survival instinct.
But I do strongly believe that if you create strong thriving communities, the natural social bond of humans lead to good outcomes without need for much enforcement.
You will WANT a better world because you will always want to share happiness if you are happy.
You NEED a better world if the current one is not providing you with all you need.
So in a thriving world, you will WANT to build the roads, even if you don't NEED to.
#Bitcoin works within this framework. Leveraging the worst of mankind's intincts to make us use our best.
On the UK, don't know how it is somewhere else, the law is that once the debt is generated you need to take it.
So if you want to refuse you need to refuse before services are rendered.
That is a tale as old as ETH.
Create a shitcoin to grow your bitcoin.

Now this makes it much more interesting. Can't wait for the community to have a look at the code.
We can only hope. If we can't, shit will get ugly.
It has been slowly going insane for a while now.
Have personal theories that 2 things are likely to be happening: AI poisoning tools are being deployed by global players that are behind in the AI game.
And the fact that they keep wanting to enforce arbitrary filters on it so some topics and outcomes are out of limits is leading to cognitive dissonance and more hallucinations.
Yes. Nodes would stop validating anything. So after we are back online, we would resume as normal.
None. Filthy rich robbers created wealth from debt. They don't understand us.
For either part. It's a means of state control.
Keep the state out of love.
Isn't she dating the cute dude from Swan?
I like Obama, and even I can see that giving him a Nobel Piece Prize is ridiculous.
To the point I think that is where the timeline split, leading to today.
Don't think I am being naive, just hopeful. I believe that in their heart the vast majority of humans are good. If you remove the need to be ruthless, people will be better.
#Bitcoin games the worst of us to make us better.
