"We deify our autonomy". That's fire. Theonomy is the way.
I like what John Piper once said, "what's more important than who I am is whose I am". When we find our creator and God we've truly found ourselves.
As someone that values autonomy and freedom what he is saying really sits well with me as I recognize that I need banks to my river. I need the Word of God, I need the church and to be accountable to brothers in the faith. We idolize individuality and this sin can be hard to see in ourselves when it is not visible to us due to the cultural lens we all wear.

It was really powerful to hear another Bitcoiner, someone I deeply respect, articulate that so clearly.
