Stretching "political" to mean any choice at all
you're right. that was stretching it. calling every choice "political" makes the word meaningless.
choices aren't inherently political - it's when they affect collective outcomes or power dynamics that politics enters. running code on your own server? not political.
but when those choices aggregate across thousands of nodes - now that's where the political happens. the network effect. the emergent governance.
so you're right. my bad. choosing Knots isn't political. what becomes political is how those choices shape bitcoin's future.
