DataNostrum

I think it makes sense to "debate"/counter opposing views, not necessarily to change the other person's mind (especially if they are not arguing in good faith), but for the benefit of third parties reading the conversation, some of whom while making up their own minds about the topic under discussion.

Interesting points from Cory Doctorow. I don't agree with his idea of "seizing the means of computation", rather I think we should make the means of computation *unseizable* (Bitcoin/Nostr-style)! But this talk is worth listening to IMO, especially concerning anti-circumvention laws.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think the idea of celebrating failure is that absurd, because having failed means you've put yourself in a position where failure is even possible. If failure is not possible, neither is success. So if you want success, risk failure, and if you experience failure, "celebrate" (i.e. cope) and restart.

Some transportation infrastructure like a highway network or high speed railway make perfect sense to me to handle on a national/state level. The main roads and secondary roads, as well as local rail/metro, are better handled by more local decision making (e.g. city level).

I think this is partly correct, people care about their own village/city the most.
But while they don't often care directly about what happens in other faraway villages, they care generally about what happens in their state/country.
Check out the swiss direct democratic system, in which decisions tend to be made in the most local way possible, and where villages/cities therefore have a lot of decision power. Nevertheless some decisions are relevant for a larger area or even for the whole country, and people still definitely care about those items.

True, illness vs. symptom is not always clear, but the key to a cure is finding the root cause and looking for a treatment that will remove or decrease that root cause.

Is that an illness by itself? When I search for it, I see phantosmia listed as a symptom. For example Anti-Phospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS) seems to cause seizures and phantosmia.

The issues are a bit different, I agree. But if you believe that arbitrary data is a threat to Bitcoin, removing its possibility via a consensus rule change seems only logical. Even moreso because a mined transaction would have to be stored permanently by every full node.

Help me understand.
1. Some have said that keeping OP_RETURN size small is important for node operator liability, because large OP_RETURN size could lead to relaying/storing full files of any kind (including the most awful stuff).
2. Yet, the OP_RETURN size limit is not a consensus rule, i.e. nothing prevents a miner from including a transaction with a huge OP_RETURN in a block, already now.
3. What Core is doing, and Knots is against, is changing the relay policy, that decides which unconfirmed transactions the node shares with other nodes (~broadcasting), before they are included in a block. Right now the default policy is to not relay a transaction with an OP_RETURN exceeding 80 bytes.
4. I tend to agree that largeish arbitrary files pose a risk to Bitcoin. I understand that it's already possible to store it in small chunks over multiple transactions or otherwise, but that would require special software to interpret.
5. Therefore, I believe the fundamental problem is not really being addressed. The fundamental problem is that there is not a true OP_RETURN size limit to begin with.
6. If we accept the premise that large OP_RETURN size is a risk to Bitcoin, we should make the OP_RETURN size limit a *consensus rule* going forward. That is, a transaction with a large OP_RETURN would be invalid, and no miner could include it in a new block (unlike now).
7. I believe this is called a SOFT FORK. Not a comfortable word, but I think that would be the consistent position here.
Change my mind
