Do you believe Cleopatra was a real person? Benjamin Franklin? Charlemagne?
With a gun to your head and a trillion dollars if you get it right... could you say what year it is?

I've felt this truth throughout my own bitcoin journey. I've wondered if our job is to free the population or to just give them a better, more compassionate master? The problem with freedom is that it goes hand in hand with responsibility. Normies seem to fear personal responsibility as much as they fear uncertainty & anything different from the status quo.
Even among bitcoiners I see a fair a amount of what I would call Normy behaviour. Maybe this is required for humans to maintain cohesion in numbers, I don't know.
You might be right but I believe free choice must be respected.
I was born & raised normie, trained to fit in, but there's something within me that makes me generally disagreeable. Call it a spark, a soul or maybe just belligerence but there something that sets me a part in large groups. It's not just me though, in this large assemblies, I gravitate towards the outliers, the black sheep. This has been a repeating pattern & I didn't always see it in a positive light.
I believe that we can build a system that better reflects peoples preferences for responsibility. I don't think everyone is required to carry that full burden but leaching will not be tolerated. Everyone contributes value in their own way but nobody has a right to the fruits of someone else's efforts.
I guess what I'm saying is we he have to cater for outliers among the normies too. Some have the capacity & will to become their own leader despite how they were raised.
I think our best approach is to each build a new parallel system within the existing system. A second independent layer that is entirely opt in/out. We focus on building the world we want with other aligned self determined leaders. When the current system fails into chaos it's just a matter of deciding how you treat your local mob of hungry normies. Who do you let in to the citadel/community & what to do with the others.
My suspicion is that we are currently in the middle of a reset. A thinning of the herd of useless eaters before we consume ourselves into extinction.
