Did you know that medevil kings couldn't even make laws? There were no man-made laws. They just had to do justice according to tradition and local custom. If they didn't, they lost their legitimacy and the people would just roll up, lop off the head and the obvious leader became king. (And good luck to him.)

I think I would distinguish between Satoshi's discovery of how to bind a ledger to thermodynamics using computers (because computers bind math to electricity, jeuls to discrets sets of operations), from God creating everything. There can only be (and must be) one uncaused cause. If Satoshi was God, that would be a second incarnation and that would contradict the first one.
This kind of goes to why Bitcoin the medium has to be distinguished from money itself, the ordering principle that Bitcoin the physical object approximates.The infinite cannot be a product of the finite. The effect cannot be greater than the cause. It can't be circular. It can't be a fractal. It can't be turtles all the way down. That breaks first principles and then we wouldn't have an intelligible universe at all. Time can't implement itself. Time is created and can't be the creator.

Not just science, but the whole modern intellectual tradition that has been (surprise surprise) pretty much one to one with the rise of the usury system that took over wester civilization. Subjegation to Mammon.
They've spent 800 years trying to rewrite St. Thomas in a way that writes God out of the story. I don't think they really made much of a dent.
St. Thomas also knew that time was discrete. He also saw vertical causation, what we are calling signatures coming from above. He didn't described something called the aevum, not as nested time chains, but as nested rational intellects with wills, ordering principles, living superstructure, extending from the singular will of God to the time chain. Like light through a nine layer prism. They are outside of time, so they are unchanging and not embodied. God created this hierarchy of being above time to create, structure and sustain the world.
Modern science has gathered a lot of data and descriptions, but it's been hobbled and twisted into nonsensical interpretations of things, trying to make material it's own cause, or turn God into a watch maker, rather than a loving, present, continuous creator. Our Father.
In science, philosophy, theology, everything... the pervasive bias has been to get rid of God or make Him far away or turn ourselves into our own to god. Because of pride and shame and the love of sin. The usual father-avoiding reasons.
But what a foolish thing to do. We are pretty amazing as we actually are. Even in our fallen state. God is the signer but He made us in His image too. We are also rational intellects with free will. And we get bodies here in creation. We get to grasp and cosign, or not, some of His order into being.
The soul is a signing key in a multisig with God, cosigning transactions into the chain of creation. Hylomorohic.

My current model of it is that addresses are all possible state locations (addresses). That's location in a logical sense, but maps to the space we experience because of the way energy states transform.
Your will acts through the keys which map to your body. You are a signer, cosigning the transactions that life offers you. You have a rational intellect that grasps the order (abstract, non physical) superstructure. That makes reality intelligible to you, so that you can choose to cosign more order into the physical world. This is what it actually means to have intelligence, and be a moral actor.
You are a free intersection of temporal and non-temporal being. You have utxos (energy in time) grasp timeless order and posses a signing key. (Body, intelect, will.)
I may just not get the whole block chain fractal yet. My way of thinking of it is that the present is just one block or tensor covering the state of every address. Time is a squence of stepwise locally integrated transformations via a kernel function on the whole keyspace. (A convolution.) One key space state to the next key space state.
This is the paper we are talking about. It explores what Bitcoin might tell us about the architecture of time:
https://bitcoinlens.net/
This essay is my take on it, poorly named because it didn't end up really going into theology, just physics and metaphysics based on the insights in the paper and how I think they really flower when grounded on Thomistic metaphysics.

A nation is a people not a border. There is no Catholic reason for it that I can see, but I haven't read the brief. I'm sure they make an argument from charity, but charity for whom? Given the USCCB's questionable involvement with certain funding channels, I would prefer they stay out of it and tend to the salvation of souls. We need good bishops who are not beholden to the civil authority. Hard to do when the faithful are economic slaves but that just makes it more important to do.

The overall psychological effect I've seen of Bitcoin and privacy tech on people is positive. But you generally come into it deeply because you need it. And you usually need it because you have woken up to the system we are living in and how it has effected you the people you love and society in general. And how evil and dangerous it actually is. If you think that's a mental illness, you are the one who is still in the matrix.
Self sovereign money gives you peace and allows you to think long term. Privacy reduces anxiety and gives you a sense of dignity and freedom.
The truth is scary, but I'd rather look it in the face and try to do something about it than go back to the dream.

They have to appeal to the same legal frameworks they violated to build these databases to protect them now.

Everything else is downstream from people who hold small stacks on hard wallets and run nodes. As long as those people do their thing, the rest of the circus will organize itself around them.

I wasn't so much coming from a GR perspective as expecting that if the ledger model is true, it will explain the appearant conflict between QM and GR and the holes in both and just trying to mine that. It seems fruitful to say the least. I think my primary frames are just Thomistic metaphysics and some intuititions from neural networks that aught to apply to time as a transforming sequence of keyspace states. (I've done a bit of work with artificial neural networks.)
You've given me a lot to think about as usual and I'm heads down on a pretty deep bit of code so it may take me a couple of days to cogitate and give you a fullsome response, but I will!
I can say that I totally agree that a wave is just a description of successive states and not properly a thing. (Rieficarion casts a lot of shadows, in general.)
I think there is something.more I might be able to say about memory/information and order that I didn't grok when I was writing the essay. But the thoughts aren't fully formed. I need to let em cook.

What about God?
The lesson of entropy that Bitcoin teaches us about the physical time chain, that physics bears out when that lesson is applied, is precisely that man creates nothing. We only participate in creation as cosigners by our choices.
And, correct me if I am wrong, is this not also precisely what St. Thomas says about money, explicitly: that it does not reproduce?
One thing that actually just clicked for me in light of Jacks comment and what I learned while writing my little essay, is that another way to say what Jack is saying (I think, correct me) is that money IS the model memory, a form (in the Platonic sense, even) accruing order that the rational will cosignings. Either we choose higher goods, or we err and choose lesser goods.
We choose to participate in bring higher order that comes from source into being by coordinating our work or recycle the goods of the world under fiat (fictions of human value creation, dollars, ape jpegs, rent seeking, interest) under entropy.
The conclusion is not only that simple spam is pure entropy, but that non-monetary data with "financial" use cases that have these vaneers of being money-related are perhaps worse, because they are actually fiat, aka fictions of value creation.
Word magic is fraud. We don't create.

Ideally they would. Easy for me to say coming in and Monday morning quarterbacking, but it seems like this whole situation is wildly political for no reason. The conversation would ideally have been:
"Hey, we're behind on some maintenance. Let's drop some cruft, tighten some unnecessarily loose data limits that are feeding non-monetary use and kill the inscriptions hack."
Then we would have a calmly go through back testing against the chain to make sure we didn't chop any legit monetary use and roll the thing. It's not that hard.
And then I assume there would be hot cocoa with marshmallows. ☕
Obviously that ignores that there are incentives, financial interests, rivalries, reputations, egos and tribes. I'm not surprised this is hard for non-technical reasons. My point is just how purely non-technical problem actually is here.
The actual technical problem itself could have been solved by small number of people in a matter of weeks if they were working together well. Instead we have a total shitstorm.
Whatever. It will be fine, but I have to be pro 110 on the merits until someone can explain why its a bad idea from on the merits. 🍿

I think that overstep was more than an overstep and they also neglected mainenance, like fixing the inscriptions hack. Without accusing anyone of anything, I can't help but notice that both the actions and inactions all pointed in the same direction of allowing shitcoinery on the network.
Bitcoin is money. Anything that can be done to tighten parameters to shut down non-monetary uses that crop up or sneak in a unintended consequences of other changes, without breaking existing monetary uses, should be done because that is responsible maintenance.
It narrows the state space, reduces the attack surface and supports keeping the network distributed by keeping the block light.
From a purely technical perspective (I've got no tribal dog here, and my local community if very core-centric, and I am friends with core devs) 110 really looks like a maintenance catch-up after some neglect.
Don't shoot but that's my honest read on the technical picture and somebody who has built and maintained software-based systems for a very long time.
Instead of fighting about this we could be focusing on making sure that 110 is a technically correct tightening of the bolts. No reason it should be anything else.
If there are specific, concrete issues, I am sure they can be fixed if brought to light.

That's insightful because those are the kinds of power games we are swimming in. And it makes sense because Plato and company hated sophistry, which is what you call that game.
But I looked it up and what Plato actually wrote in Phaedrus was this, which he put into the mouth of Socrates.
"I am myself a lover of these divisions and collections, so that I may be able both to speak and to think; and if I find anyone else who I think has the natural capacity to look to one and to many, I pursue him ‘in his footsteps, behind him, as if he were a god’."
Which seem more like straightforward reverence for the skillful intelect, with implicit anti-sophistry. Later he says:
"First, you must perceive the nature of the thing you're discussing... Then, having grasped the single idea that unifies the many particulars (collection), you must next divide it... trying not to mangle any part, as a bad butcher might do."

Telos. Beautifully explained.
If I can tie in an engineer's perspective on this: this is exactly why I do support 110. Telos is how you do rational software architecture and make rational maintenance decisions.
If the purpose of the protocol is money, then we can objectively decide what to do as software maintainers. If we are allowing space for non-monetary uses to slip through which can be closed without hurting monetary use, responsible software maintenance is tightening those constraints.
This simplifies the state space, reduces attack surface and supports decentralization by keeping the chain lighter.
I haven't found any arguments against 110 on valid technical grounds. It appears to be correct software maintenance. Rational node software maintenance is important to Bitcoin.
I also agree that spam will probably be priced out in the long run, so I'm not going to dramatize it, but that is not an excuse for us to willfully neglect proper maintenance.
Does that make sense?
BTW, totally other topic:
I wonder if you might be interested in taking a look at this essay I just wrote. I tried to ground the physics of Bitcoin: The Architecture of Time in Thomistic metaphics. You might find it interesting and could possibly tell me if I screwed anything up on the metaphysics side.

I think the same is true for most high status professions to some extent, for the same reason. Imagine what you would have to play along with to get through medical school these day. A soul is a tough thing to keep clean in this world.

I think he does. Walker seems cool. Still a fan of the show. This kind of reletavism is something we're all swimming in and it's hard to be a public figure. I'll push back on it no matter who and no matter what about, but I'm not dunking and we all need a chance to course correct. I hope others will do the same for me.

You've got to grok Jeff's whole framework to put it in context. It's worth doing. We get bombarded with a lot of things that sound profound. But some things actually are. Watch him on some longform podcasts and read the book.

Our favorite meal. I've been thinking for a while now that maybe when the system really cracks, that will be the signal. They will have nothing else left and go full alien. But then I think, they keep kinda using it already... So how would we know what "full alien" looks like?
Maybe we will know it when we see it. Like live news coverage of a big silver saucer landing on the Whitehouse lawn and Trump pulls out the chair for Gleep Glorp from Alpha Centauri. 👽

If consensus rules are censorship, then let's just remove them. Fuck protocols. Those are rules man. Let's just all set our network cards to spray bits down wires because that's freedom man. Let's shit on the dining room table! FREEDOM!

So you don't know what circular reasoning is.
Try this. If you have a medical information system, and you upload your music collection, and your doctor says "hey, this is just for medical information" are you going to say "well, it's a medical information system, and I uploaded information, so now it's medical information"
Maybe you would, but your doctor might diagnose you with being retarded, and that would be fair.

Wait, let me guess: circular reasoning is when your reasoning is circular.

Do you know what circular reasoning is?

Bitcoin is money. A monetary transaction is when you use Bitcoin as money.
If you act like you don't know this, you have either a moral or an intellectual impairment.

So, you don't know what money is? That's an embarrassing position to take when you have a Bitcoin podcast.

Didn't I answer you? Or do you need a linguist? I mean, words don't really have objective meanings, right? Who is to say? What is a word? How can we even understand the question? Why bother to write it then?
In case you need it spelled out, I am throwing you epistemic nihilism back at you.
How are we supposed to interpret people who claim they don't know what "woman" or "monetary" mean? I could formally define either for you but you are just playing dumb and I'm not playing along.
If you want to have a serious conversation,, it starts with admitting that words have meanings.
