It's not designed for you.

Now, if you had to interact with it, I guess you would,

you know, if you had no other choice.

But it's clearly not the affordance that most human beings are looking for in their own intuitions about how to use money.

So my claim is that, okay, we live today in the world where this stuff is totally, this stuff is totally disintermediated.

The human is interacting directly with the machine.

And this is bad.

It's bad in the same way that we think today about cars, right?

In 10 years, we're going to look back with absolute horror that we ever thought it was a good idea to have apes, you know, using their hands to manipulate these two-ton death machines, you know, driving down the highway while drunk, half asleep, you know, being ill, whatever state of mind you're in.

Yeah, you're probably fine.

Appear barbaric.

Right, it's gonna seem absurd that we ever thought like that was cool, that was just fine.

And like, yeah, people die on the road all the time.

It's like one of the most dangerous things we do is literally driving.

But, you know, what else are we gonna do?

Like why, yeah, you can't take away a man's car.

We're gonna look back on that as being like insane.

You know, there's gonna be a day when human driving is banned and or only allowed in certain areas that are far away from other humans, right?

That we're gonna get there with respect to the way that our norms evolve.

I think we're going to land at the same place with crypto.
