Bitcoin is having a Vatican II moment. Fortunately, unlike the Catholic Church at Vatican II, it looks like those faithful to tradition (the truth) will expel the effeminate and naive as well as the infiltrators attempting to make heresy and filth normal. Let’s hope and pray.
Desensitization via the Hegelian dialectic is so effective. It is indeed, a work of genius. One with perfect intellect.
The Hegelian dialectic is such an insidious and pernicious weapon, towards increasing entropy, and hence, order in chaos for solve et coagula.
Currency issuance became a psychological game of game theory. Question is, when was it not? When did utility as a consequence of reasonable living and existence transition to a system that has become so institutionalized? Methinks too the transition happened slowly, which can be explained by the inevitable acceleration of entropy and that brokenness as a consequence of original sin (our fallen nature), perhaps reaching its breaking point —which is exactly what entropy already implies.
The dynastic system of governance under a monarch who owns his property and kingdom, works best. This was the traditional practice that achieved civilization.
Political dynasties in democratic systems are composed of caretakers (not rulers and landlords) because they don’t own the property and kingdom they govern. This was the more novel practice invented by stupid social contract theorists. Yes, the hacienda system (while not perfect), in principle, works very well—but ONLY if the ruler is an owner and not a mere caretaker—the crucial caveat.
Reality check: Naive children of “light” have put in power and authority, those children of the world who are really but caretakers. And that stupid social contract theory (that never existed) cemented it all.
Saw my taxes at work today, in the guise of helping the poor. What it really was—politicians on an institutionalized early campaign trail to bag their dynasty (reality: caretaker status). Indeed, it takes two to tango. One recalls Luke 16:1-8 (particularly, eight)—for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. One can see the effeminacy, naïveté, and pacifism of the latter allows the triumph of the former. And given the very socialist nature of our social order, even for those of us who see… it’s checkmate. More and more one can see just how irresolvable the situation—that no work of human hands can address.
Indeed, checkmate on man—stubborn, broken, and fallen. One isn’t being pessimistic. It’s simply a consistent pattern in biblical history, called reality—stubborn and forgetful are we.
Purchasing a new frame and a refraction gave me a first-hand experience with the depth of the problem with truth.
I had the frame adjusted twice because it was crooked. I handed it to the salesperson who would go inside to give it to the guy whose job it was to do these things. Finally, after the second adjustment, I said, can you have the guy come out and maybe he can do it beside me and I can give immediate feedback and show him what’s wrong. The guy came out and I showed him it was still crooked. He placed the frame on the table to show me it wasn’t—because it was on the table’s surface supposedly stable and not rocking or flipping.
Hmm… we were looking at the same objective reality—and reality was, it was rocking. He insisted it wasn’t. I demonstrated to him, like a microscope would and made him really stare—only then did he see it was in fact, not stable and could be rocked. Reminder: This is actually his job.
After so much entropy under finite time, I finally got my glasses normal.
Hermitage is really tempting.

“Truth needs authority to protect it. Authority needs truth as its purpose.”
Modernism:
1) The liberation of the mind from reality.
2) Ideas taking precedence over reality.
3) Man, the idiot.
The one the reasonable can’t have a real exchange with—the triumvirate of ambiguity, equivocality, and contradiction. It’s the most entropic of situations that will only steal from the reasonable that only scarce resource known as time, while yielding a loot that is ultimately worthless even for the thief, who is probably oblivious to the fact, they were/ are in fact, a thief.
There would ultimately be no exchange going on while eating away at the potential players of an exchange that never could’ve been in the first place.
