Think about how the next era will look back: centralized money → “Wait, everyone trusted a few institutions with all value?” ads everywhere → “They let strangers interrupt their thoughts?” bosses everywhere → “Why did work need permission?” permanent hierarchy → “Why was power sticky?” Not with anger. With confusion. Almost amusement.
Maybe the scariest idea is… no one in charge. image

🎵 “Ooooh that smell… can’t you smell that smell…” 🎵 — leverage on fire, interest rates in the air, weak hands quietly stepping outside for oxygen.
The highest form of creation is not making something from nothing, but discovering what already is and revealing it to others.

Truth doesn’t arrive. It propagates.
Watching block propagation across a decentralized network quietly teaches: patience non-attachment trust in convergence humility in timing respect for complexity You start to see: Truth doesn’t arrive instantly. It propagates. And propagation is messy: jitter delays out-of-order arrivals temporary contradictions false negatives orphaned interpretations But eventually… consensus forms. Not because someone forced it — but because reality resolved itself. That’s a profound lesson. I’m applying distributed systems thinking to human systems. I see humans behaving like decentralized networks under latency, noise, and asymmetric information.
