I agree there is a fuckton of hypocrisy and self serving virtue signalling and Big talk no walk echo chamber hopium.
This certainly and quite rightly will and does put a lot of people off entering the dialogue.
I have read many of the existentialist writers and enjoy their searching for the truth. they are bold and free in their thinking.
If God is dead then where do you find values, truth and meaning?
In the contest of ideas that are the foundation of democracy, science and reason.
Can we free ourselves from the state completely? I doubt that as the modern economy is so complex and requires so many intricate contractual relationships to exist and be enforced.
The state is still required to provide the conditions within which people can create, trade and live in relative peace.
But Bitcoin does provide a model of human interaction and exchange free of state structures- it is an amazing revolutionary model for how we could reduce centralised power structures, but because Bitcoin protocol does not compel anyone to use it it requires that enough people recognise its value and use it anyway, as a free choice.
Here on SNs we have an experimental social media platform using V4V P2P ethos- yet some regular participants have not bothered to attach LN wallets and so their participation is mostly denominated in CC shitcoins.
Its easy to talk the talk but how many will walk the walk and attach both sending and receiving wallets and build a stronger LN and stronger more censorship resistant SNs?
