Thanks for sharing this extension. I think it’s a good thing to explore.

As for how to proceed, it’s a difficult question. I for one, am a man of peace and want to bring people together. This BIP-110 war is causing divide and it’s a shame to see.

Whether it succeeds or fails, one question will remain: what is a sound and permanent solution to the topic at hand? To me, the energy behind this movement should be channeled into this question about the witness discount. This way, the larger community can investigate whether or not it’s a viable path forward.

We are also stuck between a rock and a hard place. We prefer to keep these discussion on nostr: the true agora.

However, most people are on X and that’s where ideas get more attention. Simultaneously, that place is dangerous due to the algorithm that can cause manipulation and control.

So, I’m not sure I have an answer, as much as questions. How do we get the energy of the current movement to focus on the reasonable questions? How do we get more of the community to discuss this on a platform that will allow free discussion with no manipulation?

It is spot on! Did you have a chance to discuss it internally within Abundant Mines? Any insights?

Yes But also, I see people gladly being swept away, very very quickly, to derogatory language, combativeness and tribalism. Takes me think we haven’t learnt anything from the past few years. 😞

Good morning!

I would differentiate mythology and religion.

Mythology are stories we create to help propagate cultural memory: concepts, lessons, teachings, etc.

Religion is our attempt to describe the ineffable truth of our existence. Words always fail to do so. Yet we try to articulate these concepts through words nonetheless because that is easier and more scalable than teaching everyone the necessary mental/physical practices to return to that way of being which grants awareness of it.
