And humans are not really good at doing things against their own interests.
And so even when you talk about building like a global settlement layer, the idea of like decentralizing away your authority, especially if you think you have a little bit of a dominant edge versus others, is a very like...
irrational ask.
Like, the US hegemony is a US hegemony because it's self-interested.
It's not willingly going to cede away things for the sake of decentralization if they thought their counterparty might actually not be a good actor.
So...
You know, at some level, if you believe humans are like self-interested and that's their primary driver of rational behavior, it's just not enough to virtue signal decentralization to supersede self-interest to drive adoption.
And that's, I think, my biggest qualm sometimes when people talk about the moral calling of something.
that is antithetical to your own self-interest.
And they're calling that to be the thing that is required of adoption for like a greater good of a community.
When in fact, you as the independent thinker, you as the independent actor, you as the primary agent of your own life should make decisions that are based on your own needs at some level in conjunction, of course, with the context of the community.
Yeah, it's a new year 26 resolution to write more.
