Bryan,
What would you suggest, if I were to interview @ErikVoorhees, I try to draw attention to? I understand the moral message but then of course, that’s ‘not enough’ to make the case.
As you know I have these concerns:
1) that registry and transfer of title are more important than money substitutes.
2) that trading the spectrum of financial instruments is more important than money substitutes.
3) that originating and holding loans and only selling shares in them is more important than money substitutes.
4) that escrow and clearing are more important than money substitutes.
5) that solving ‘banklessness’ is more important than money substitutes.
6) that modern economies cannot function without fiat currency (and privatization of appreciation isn’t earned income.)
7) that States can (and likely will) create digital fiat and will suppress non-state money substitutes.
8) that most states will issue short term exchange for existing digital for fiat digital, before gradually suppressing them.
9) So my question is, are we really so much worried about money substitutes, or even if we only solve the above problems isn’t that enough?
10) Maybe, why not just call digital what it is? Shares in the network (token money), and treat it like any other tradable financial medium, as a way of insulating one’s wealth from inflation et al?
Thanks 😉

WHY RELY ON PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY (NONSENSE)?
Now, I have a rather deep question for y’all?
Why, if simulation, computation, operational logic of causality, the laws of cooperation, the laws of the universe they evolved from, the science of producing testimony that assists us… https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1637910086780612609

Q: IS A TRUE, ETHICAL, MORAL, AND “GOOD” RELIGION POSSIBLE?
If we made a ‘religion’ of laws of nature, natural law of cooperation, our intergenerational debts to nature, heroes, ancestors(archetypes), civilization(traditions and institutions), and to one another (civil society), and stoic discipline (cognitive behavioral training), and where those laws are a standard of weights and measures, and our debts were weights and measure of our behaviors, then how would that religion vary from teaching all of us the truth of the universe, man, and civilization, and how to function optimally in it? Isn’t social repetition of oath and ritual but testimony and promise that we will limit ourselves to that which is mutually beneficial? It sure appears that a true, ethical, moral, and good religion is possible. But those who practice false, unethical, immoral, and not-good religions will resist – of course. Because they don’t know that their religions are false, unethical, immoral, and not=good. Yet they are addicted to them because it is how they intuit the right and wrong of their own behaviors. And they fear doing differently.

Q: IS MARRIAGE IN THE WEST “BAITING INTO HAZARD?”
(yes but it’s fixable)
Right now it sure does. However, that’s due to “positive law” that violated natural law, the common law, concurrent legislation, and all evidence across all of human history. if we are going to permit divorces then we have to restore liability for interference in a marriage, and end no-fault divorce, child support, and alimony. And AFAIK that will all end this decade.

Does logic vary in the description of any individual state, or is logic independent of state?
