To clarify, the delusional thinking is general and I mean Bitcoin to stand in stark contrast, to be a rock.
Excellent point about the other systems which are not easy to change. Obviously these are more subjective though, like with wokism you see a lot of attempts to redefine the meaning of words. Bitcoin strikes at a sweet spot as far as possessing mathematical rigor and economic, and therefore personal, meaning.

Is this a critique or praise?
It is not delusional thinking when one believes that a certain amount of Bitcoin existing can anchor the world. That would be like calling the human belief in a certain ethical code itself a delusion.
Fixing the monetary supply is a literal fixing of the economic rock upon which humanity can grow a robust economy towards the stars.
Maybe 21 million is not the perfect number. But for now, it is and it sharpens attention, good will and ethics.
To digress, if you look closely, all human systems have a code that is not changed on a whim. The English language has a dictionary and you can't simply decide that "this word which is foundational to the entire code is wrong". Ethics itself is coded by reciprocity of good, tolerance, positive sum thinking, etc.
