Man has never been “a part of nature”. Man was created by God as described in Genesis, and the only laws he is governed by were written by God, and those laws are under God’s absolute control.
It is not true that distractions distance us from what is real; the problem with “modern man” is that he is extremely and willfully ignorant, and always eager to believe any lie that is told to him. He loves evil and lies rather than good, lies rather than the truth, and speed rather than punctuation.
The problem modern man faces is The State, just as the USSR suffered under Communism, modern man in the West suffers under Crony Capitalism, The State, and the Federal Reserve system. These are discrete problems all of which are completely soluble without resorting to cereal box philosophies, navel gazing and pointless dead end abstractions and avoidance of bitter hard truths.
The State as a “construct” in the modern era is almost totally evil, as described by Murray Rothbard in his “Anatomy of the State”:

Ignorant people who don’t know the fundamental basis of everything cannot begin to unpack the present situation man is in and identify the true source of the problem. They have to resort to hand waving, Fruit Loop Logic and nonsense, none of which provides a clean, practical way out based only on the truth.
And yes, there IS absolute truth; it is discoverable and communicable and not hard for ordinary people to understand. Refusing to face this fact is pure thumb sucking infantilism and cowardice, two of the basic plagues suffered by coddled, weak and ineffectual Western men.
People talk about things not being grounded in reality, but when that reality is exposed to them, they refuse to accept it, shrink away from it like worms that have had salt sprinkled on them, and not only that, they choose to go along with the evil and support it and the State that is the main distributor of it. They refuse even to tell anyone that the evil exists and that they hate it. To add insult to injury, they wax vaguely with half baked philosophies that are dead ends because they communicate nothing, show no way out, are habiutally non specific and greatly unhelpful.
Modern day financial systems are completley corrupted by the State, especially the Federal Reserve Dollar which is so pernicious and toxic, the destruction of it was in his own words the greatest triumph of Andrew Jackson who declared, “I killed the bank”.
Today, the weak men can barely take their chubby, grubby fingers to clack out its name on their keyboards as they Virtue Signal to stupefied drug addle fans while collecting people’s government documents just so they can use “their own money”.
If the truth must be “handed down by a CEO” then let it be handed down by a CEO. This is infinitely preferable to a CEO who does not believe that there is such a thing as truth, and even worse, a CEO who knows the truth but goes along with evil for expedience and keeps his silence. And furthermore, the truth is not rooted in who man is; the truth exists outside of man, and is imposed upon him by his creator.
Bitcoin as money (it is not money, it is a database that can be used AS money) is a powerful tool precisely because it denies weak men the opportunity to corrupt it, just as they abuse consumers by forcing them to obey the evil and unethical rules laid down by the Fiat State. There is no getting around this, and “I was only following orders” will not cut it either when the records are examined.
Bitcoin spreading everywhere through Ethical Bitcoin companies and tools are what is going to change everything, and as everyone has seen, it only takes a handful of CEOs to make global unambiguous beneficial change happen for hundreds of millions of people. This work is in progress.
Believing in fantasy will not help anyone. Pouring hope onto tools that cannot work is infantilism and ignoring reality. It is ignoring the problem and running away and hiding from it, just as the Cereal Box philosophers ignore the nature of the State and refuse to put it in its place as the true source of of the fiat problem and the war machine problem and the distortions, perversions, poisoning and dumbing down of all mankind.
This refusal to face reality head on is why Bitcoin had to be written in the first place; generation after generation of weak, distracted infantilized men who refuse to think and solve problems made it necessary for machines to solve their problems for them. Bitcoin is one such machine, and you can be sure more are coming, because man would rather run away and hide from solving his problems rather than take his medicine and lead.
Bitcoin removes the power of the State to lie about money. Communication tools that allow anyone to say anything do not solve the problem of the character of man or solve the problem of The State; men of good character can facilitate free communication, so all that is needed are a few good men. Computer solutions can’t solve the problems caused by the character of man. In the case of Bitcoin, they can constrain man’s ability to cheat, but man is still a liar and cheater by nature. That will not change in this world.
A platform that is built to carry any lie to anywhere is not a solution that can fix the world’s problems. Of course people who think the back of a box of Frosted Flakes is the ultimate source of truth cannot understand this. And no one needs them to be able to either. Bitcoin was written to supersede these weak people and to constrain them and their “votes” and it will succeed. Just watch.
In the meantime, by all means waste your time on niche fad networks that will not move the needle, while men with huge platforms and guts liberate hundreds of millions of people to change the world. One man with guts and a vision can change everything; this has been proven again and again. Men who run and hide cannot change anything and never will. History will judge them accordingly, if they are even remembered.
No amount of fad citing and fashionable talk can substitute for real contributions to the problems faced by man. Only action can help, and refraining from evil. These are the unavoidable facts, and the way the world actually is. If you refuse to face this, you are part of the problem, and will be swept away with the Statists. That is your fate, and you will deserve it, because you were warned, and refused to rise to the challenge.
