I'm bad at finishing audiobooks and worse at listening intently. I wish audiobooks were conversations with authors that somehow had content parity
Wont be long before the AI let you choose to hear the book from whoever's voice you like, and be able to interrupt them to ask for clarifications, examples, anything. Have the reader give you topics to talk about together after the chapter to help you cement the ideas in your head.
Put in your apple vision contacts too and have the audiobook reader come sit down in the room with you. It's getting weird out here!

I’m so glad you’re optimistic/excited about this stuff too. Bitcoiners often end up being anthropologists to some degree which tends to make us skeptical of bleeding edge stuff, but technology and change are natural parts of being human too.

Yep, we forget how technology is also a part of nature.
Much of the woes and worries I observe surrounding this tech today seem to be looking through the lens of a fiat fugazi world today, and entirely forget what bitcoin is here for. Not to make us all rich -- to decentralize our governance in such a way that we don't have to spiral into the ever-encroaching dystopia that movies and the state make it out to be.
Our fiat brains make us scared of these things -- and rightfully so, given history. We've only lived in a time where theft and debt is fundamental to how we operate. We can't even imagine what it's like to put down the crutches and run a full sprint.
But we can be a cool futuristic star trek free space-bearing kardashev type 1,2, maybe 3, or 4 species that learned how to manipulate technology to our benefit rather than to our detriment.
The fact that bitcoin exists suggests to me that the latter scenario is much more likely than the former.
