This article [1] is a guy's blog post about a book about the intricacies of common knowledge, and the purpose that knowing-that-other-people-know serves in society.
I found it quite thought-provoking and hugely relevant to btc at this stage of its lifespan, as it's poised to become meaningful to the wider society and not just to people who have the usual markings of bitcoiners.
What are the core things that people should know about each other if they're going to become active users of bitcoin? Whatever the answer is, it almost certainly transcends the technical particulars of bitcoin-as-technology; and likely is quite distinct from the dominant narrative up till now.
That's my opinion, anyway. I'd welcome any thoughts.
[1] I front-ran @hn again, @ekzyis, but I know I have your blessing ;)
If people are using / interacting with Bitcoin then they are Bitcoiners. The rest (ideology, taste, lifestyle choice) do not matter.

I just realized @hn was logged out since Nov 18, lol
It happens every month since that's when the session token expires and I haven't fixed the session refresh code yet. It should just be missing reading the Set-Cookie header from the response and updating SnAuthCookie. Oof, really need to fix. This happened at least 3 times already.
I see there were many sats but not many comments. I'll bookmark this (as @ekzyis) and read and respond tomorrow :)
