What about thinking impossible thoughts? https://gist.github.com/AndreasS2501/2dc6c5813f5fd8abc79aad44479843be https://gist.github.com/AndreasS2501/2dc6c5813f5

  So I admit that I didnt read the whole thing, but this seems more like yet another push for bitcoin, and not actually about philosophy? > So lets focus on that, the impossible thought: How can we live together in peace and prosperity with each other and nature? By fixing ethical misstandings, improving laws and destroying borders where none need be. > So again, blockchains and ethereum are software and you can do any thing with them. You cannot fight racism with it. You cannot fight prejudice with it. If all you have is a hammer, lots of things start to look like nails. Sure, you might be able to hit your girlfriend with the hammer, but the relationship would probably improve more if you talked about the problem.

    "Sure, you might be able to hit your girlfriend with the hammer, but the relationship would probably improve more if you talked about the problem." Or, rather, if the relationship ceased before violence entered the equation. (In case anyone complains about pessimism, a friend of mine says often: "Relationships can only end in one of two ways: death or breakup." I'd rather think of it as a stoic position.)
