Under centralized governance, law degenerates and becomes arbitrary, political, and unjust. Power resides with those at the top, who act according to their own vision. As atheistic principles take hold, nihilism flourishes and chaos reigns. This form of governance is imposed from the top down, enforced by a small group that considers itself superior in wisdom and understanding. In such a system, reality is overlooked in favor of ideology, often leading to truly disastrous outcomes.

Conversely, under decentralized governance, natural law takes precedence. This bottom-up, emergent system is stable, rarely undergoing significant changes. There's a broader agreement on moral concepts of right and wrong since individual consciences are largely similar across society. In this system, reality and truth take center stage because decisions aren't imposed universally but are instead made on an individual basis.

Decentralization encourages us to return to our own conscience rather than adhere to someone else's ideal of what society ought to be. In essence, it brings us back to reality, to truth, to God.

decentralization = take own responsibility and stop blaming others for our own failure.

On the same note... I think ordinals, nfts, and BRC 20 tokens are crap, and a potentially serious security threat to the Bitcoin protocol. I think it's an indication that the Bitcoin core development has become too centralized. This is what I propose: Bitcoin core development has to further de...
