Have you read [The Blocksize War](https://amzn.to/3vXF0CR)? (I haven't yet.)

Currently intrigued by the #etymology of the word [crisis](https://m-w.com/dictionary/crisis).
An action which decides, separates, detemines, or sets a new course; a turning point.
A crisis distills motives and allegiances in the one act of choosing this way or that; it reveals what's underneath. It prioritizes. It directs. It even clarifies.
A crisis asks: who are you? What are you for and against? It demands: show yourself!
Crises refine us, and thus, define us.
