      The world of politics *is* Lord of the Flies, especially on Twitter. We didn't invent it. The fly net called Bitcoin is however an extremely useful tool to have to help us survive and thrive in this buggy world.

      In terms of power relations, politics is indeed Lord of the Flies. I'm against replicating it in Bitcoin-land, which in terms of extent/territory is a tiny island. Your metaphorical survival on that island is by the grace of mainland forces still today, which is disappointing.

      Jim, the point is the protocol itself doesn't care, anyone can use it (friend or foe), and that we are not a police force. We gotta work with what we have and make the best of it despite not being able to get people to behave like saints. That's the challenge. The tech is easy.

      All attention on Bitcoin is good publicity at this point.

      Bitcoin isn't a "new society", and the need for "cooperation" between users is limited to cooperation within particular deals that happen to use Bitcoin. But thank you for yet again wasting our time with woefully inappropriate Hello Kitty People nonsense. https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2006/10/hello-kitty-people.html …

      You're free not to read, of course. The "Hello Kitty People" reference is inscrutable to me. Do you want to expand or rephrase your critique?

          I agree with @NickSzabo4's economic insight, but FWIW I still refuse to block people over differences of opinion as I do not find it effective at all in achieving the results I am after.

          Ha, Szabo just blocked me. The irony. The same group I complain about would rip Szabo to shreds for daring to question bitcoin orthodoxy if not for his (well deserved) OG status. Still a huge fan of Szabo’s despite the block!

          I’m genuinely a huge fan of his and recommend his writing to everyone, publicly. I think what he really dislikes is my anti-Trumpism. I’ve engaged with Szabo in polite debate on that topic, but his intellectual openness doesn’t carry over into politics.

          Ari, I use to like your commentary and still follow you. But the topics you bring out for debate is very telling You cannot say ‘debate is good’ all the time. The way topic/ questions are framed tells a lot about your thought process This observation is only relating to Bitcoin

          I do think I need to return to my primarily educational threads. I’ve spent too much time picking fights over the past year.
