I tend to take ideas seriously when there are many provably independent sources validating them. Otherwise it seems we are all arguing our guesses (and practically everyone's guesses are untrustworthy).
Yes! Agree wholeheartedly. This is why I'm so hungry for non-correlated inputs for discussion on btc stuff. The implications are literally as complicated as the entire world, so the notion that Saifedean Ammous and his merry sycophants have already penned the final word on how it will, or should, play out is, to me, almost criminally naive.
I even think you can reliably discover new and promising ideas by seeking the intersection of independent guesses.
It has been so fascinating to me how some ideas playing out in, for instance, computational vision, are concrete expressions of philosophical arguments from the 1950s. There's so much alpha in finding those intersections, in btc and in everything else.
