for fun, let's create a crude mental mathematical-physical model where government (virtual reality) coexists with bitcoin (digitized reality).
  • digital reality is digitized energy (1's & 0's) flowing from point A to point B; physical reality input gets accurately represented at the digitized output.
  • virtual reality can make anything up at the output, regardless of the input. what is government? gubernare = control; ment = mind (mentation). mind control. virtual reality.
government is an entity that invariably conjectures to its constituents something that is untrue (virtual, made-up), in order to keep itself together, for the sake of government preservation. (conjecture is basically guesswork of what might work, but does not necessarily work out in the end).
  • government is not really an entity, but a set of arbitrary rules, which also change all the time. let's assume that at a randomly sampled moment, the rules are static and immutable (even tho in reality the government rules are always in flux).
  • bitcoin code is a purely mathematical model which relies on the physical world in order to keep itself running (people and energy). in order to be true mathematically, it has to be true physically. energy & entropy in - bitcoin out; the output is mathematically verifiable order, a product of the input. bitcoin either works out, or bitcoin does not work. true or false, nothing in between. bitcoin has never "sort of worked" since the last technical downtime a while ago. tik-tok next block.
anyways, let us imagine a plane in which the government (set of static man-made rules in a single moment) intersects with the plane of bitcoin rules. imagine, that in the government plane, everything is actually true for once! in that single imaginary moment, government rules are also identical to bitcoin rules. truth = truth, 1 sat = 1 sat. truth in - sats out.
as we can clearly see, the plane of the government will fall out and stop intersecting with the bitcoin plane as soon as some rule that is untrue/false comes into play. that can happen at any moment since the plane intersection.
the rules of traditional governance will always diverge from the rules of bitcoin and reality and cannot coexist. these are completely different planes of mentation (thought), and imho rapidly & perpetually diverging planes of reality. the government is either bitcoining or not. either the rules work out for every scenario moment to moment, or they don't. in order to conform its plane of untruth to the bitcoin plane of truth, the government rules would have to bend universal reality or become honest; if the rules become honest & true, then it's the bitcoin code.
for a while, i have been contemplating that there is a virtual reality and digital reality. digital reality is tangible (from the word digit). virtual reality exists only in the mind. a virtual game character imagines and accepts, hopefully temporarily, that the game is real.
it doesn't matter how much bitcoin the government officials stack. they cannot create an output that is compatible with reality all the time. it's a mathematical and physical impossibility. does not happen, never happened, and never will happen.
the rules of the universe are best interpreted thru math, geometry, frequency, as well as numbers in space and time. even then, it's a useful abstraction for the man's mind, since the universe is much more complex than numbers and space and time.
disclaimer: i do not feel intelligent at all, having to explain what is going on as logically as possible. alas, i have done my best.
I think that is a very interesting way of looking at it. Makes a lot of sense to me. Great thoughts. Thank you
