A few month ago I clicked through quite a few youtube [0] lectures on "system dynamics," the 1960ies hype technology, and the people who did system dynamics back then are entirely reasonable, well aware of its limitations and the applications are very interesting, but their work got completely drowned in bullshit. Very similar to "the Internet" in the late 90ies, "web 2.0" in the early 2000nds and block chain today. So block chain is a really cool algorithm, that under ideal conditions can solve the Byzantine Generals problem, but there is at the moment just so incredible much bullshit surrounding blockchains, that it is sometimes hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.
