This concept of a ‘social contract’ is messed up. It’s a way of saying ‘I can only fully enjoy my ownership of this item if a central authority tells me I can’.

That’s just crazy, who in their right mind would want a world like that. Why do we need an authority figure to control enjoyment of a thing?
- iamwil 6y agoby social contract, I mean it to refer to the same social contract we all use to agree that paper money and metal coins have value. Or that you cover your mouth when you sneeze. There doesn't have to be central authority here. As mentioned in another thread, NFTs are like a certificate of authentication in the Art world. It represents the ownership of something. That's separate from the enjoyment of something. The pleasure of owning something is now separate from the pleasure of enjoying something. NFTs address the pleasure of owning something, not the enjoyment of something.
