Its one thing to say “Bitcoin separates Money from State”.
But its important to recognize that “State” is only a tiny group of people.
And those people disproportionally represent another very tiny group of people.
Clinical psychology recognizes that fewer than 5% of people can be classified as ‘psychopathic’ or ‘sociopathic’. (The generally accepted definition is that “psychopaths” are born, “sociopaths” are made.)
Both pathologies are identified as having an inability to emotionally identify or ‘connect’ with fellow human beings, seeing them as ‘aspects’ of the human world to be figured-out and dealt with.
This is crucial to understand.
Because psychopathic/sociopathic personalities are drawn to positions of authority, drawn to places in life where they decide and ‘deal with’ other humans/human interactions. The reasons for this are manifold but understandable, in that they don’t feel comfortable in normal familial relations, they feel that playing inter-personal ‘chess games’ is completely normal, they avoid emotional engagement, they respect others with a proficiency for control and actually desire to sublimate themselves to such, along with many similar and related factors.
The reason I’m posting this is that its taken a long time for me to recognize why the people who pursue - not capriciously, but through life-long struggle - positions of power, invariably seem to be people without what I consider, real Conscience. And I choose the word ‘invariably’ for a reason, now, at this moment in American history, because I believe this tiny segment of Human ‘predilection’ has completely occupied and normalized positions of leadership within America, and most other countries.
I’ll end this here….but to refer back to the beginning….
When we talk about Bitcoin separating Money from State, I think its fundamentally important that we realize that what we refer to as “State” is actually just a coalesced community of individuals drawn to and operating on a distinct ‘spectrum’. Individuals who have now, and invariably always have throughout the history of mankind, naturally and sincerely always pointed their inner compass toward social positions where their talent at ‘deftly navigating the waves of human interaction’ were appreciated and validated.
