It's funny to me that one of the elements of perfection in this space is 'how do we actually give the money to people in the first place?'
So many things I read that are written by smart people who haven't really thought about btc or money in general, talk about all these great monetary systems that could be built, but they just accept as an axiom that we have distributed the coins equally to everyone.
It takes a while to realize that distribution is basically the hardest problem, btc did it about as well as it can be done, and it will never be done again even that well.
how do we actually give the money to people in the first place?
For this reason I feel like sama's vision for WorldCoin wasn't wholly as evil as it manifested. He's guilty of recklessly executing big ambitions but it seems to be the manslaughter version of evil and not the premeditated kind.

100%. I have thought the same thing exactly, but didn't have the energy to face the critics for not hating SA sufficiently. Thanks for being braver than I was.
