@textfiles is contradiction better than the construction of contradiction?

@blacklight and how could it have been possible without the posterchild of a sexualized mental disorder? https://news.bitcoin.com/the-many-facts-pointing-to-john-nash-being-satoshi-nakamoto

@blacklight the scope or range of credit introductions are the problem, not the hash-cracking, as dr. katharina pistor shows in The Code of Capital. we should stop thinking that the hash-cracking itself somehow creates "perverse" incentives. the perverse incentives are already part and parcel to your economic systems.

@blacklight it's patently false to suppose that "cryptocurrency" somehow introduced "perverse" incentives than acted on them https://qz.com/911968/bill-gates-the-robot-that-takes-your-job-should-pay-taxes

@blacklight yes. there are many such projects which haven't panned out: computing power dedicated under google health, a decommissioned project that, while it wasn't about sha hashes, it did come down to using computing power in a way that was incongruent with public interests. i'm more so speaking from such an extrapolation: using computing power in an incongruent way that defies public interests. our efforts have had a knack for preferring the sustainability of the unsustainable.

@blacklight i believe it's understandable to look at a particular mechanic or feature of, say, Bitcoin, and call it the source of the problem, but all i should hope to point out here is that i believe focusing on the mechanisms or abstractions in how Bitcoin works, talk about hash-cracking, and so on, misses the wider trend that prefers unsustainable solution-spaces. ecological senses, or ecognosticism, is left wanting everywhere else too.

@todayilearned "what would it take?" isn't so much a question that "opens" the mind to conceptual or techno-logical achievement whereas "is its impossibility better than the procedure, function, or even circumvention of its impossibility?" or "is its impossibility better than the conditions for the criteria of its realization?"
