Under the lens of permanent sustainability, there is far less room for systems that require excessive centralized maintenance to continue existing. Automation is essential. The motivation is community.
Compare this to the world as it is now functioning under the delusional falsehood of permanent growth. Most things will fail, and very quickly, without constant attention. It's profit motivated; individualistic and unpersonal.
This is why the world burns and also how we fix it.
@valkyrie Absolutely!
But we’re going to keep running into resource constraints as long as “your property” only exists as lines in some despot’s ledger.
If the feds can seize the bank accounts of any organization they find threatening, how does any organization gather strength to oppose the despot?
@valkyrie This is one of the original motivations of the #cypherpunks, which led to the invention of Bitcoin.
Some of the technical choices that made Bitcoin possible, also made it vulnerable.
I believe there are entities whose control was threatened by Bitcoin, and I think they used their vast resources to colonize it. And that’s why Bitcoin has rightly earned its reputation as an environmental disaster.
It sounds like you’re not interested in reconsidering your belief that cryptocurrency is categorically Bad.
You are just as entitled to that belief as I am to mine, and we do agree on many other fronts.
Dialog remains my favorite tool towards shared understanding.
Rather than kill our dialog with an intractable topic, I’ll drop it, and we can focus on those areas where we’re closer to agreement.
