The reason I asked about OOP specifically is because it introduces a layer of abstraction that is relevant to this discussion.

Think of it this way: mining hardware is increasing in efficiency, right? Why?

If energy usage is all that matters, there would be no incentive to increase efficiency, and ASICs would never have been developed. But because Bitcoin cares about the hashrate - but NOT the amount of energy used to generate that hashrate - there is a layer of abstraction between Bitcoin and its energy consumption.

So Bitcoin is INDIRECTLY, but not directly, linked to its energy consumption.

Oh I forgot one very important detail: Desmet asserts that beyond merely being illogical and clearly incorrect, the Mass Formation requires the Virtue Signalling belief system to require an individual to SACRIFICE to The Current Thing.

My screen recording won't seem to grab the audio for some reason, but check out Desmet's monologue from around 22 minutes in to where he wraps up around 28 minutes in

Old news, I believe this has been known since late 2020

Matias Desmet made a crucial point that for Mass Formation to be effective, the propaganda needs to be not only untrue, but OBVIOUSLY untrue, so that anyone holding those views is not merely mistaken, but deliberately contradicting the truth in order to Virtue Signal their allegiance to The Current Thing
