distributed decentralized databases are their own special nightmare. they are all full of hidden traps, footguns, pains, limits. the more you push them the more these emerge. in some ways the stone age was terrible, and in some ways the stone age was far superior to the current age. we've gotten soft, lazy, stupid, comfortable. we used to be feral animals, but now we're more like house plants. if we got more used to doing things like dumb animals, life would be simpler, and we could appreciate what we have more. but it's hard to resist the temptation of feeling like what we have is never enough. the grass is always greener, and how terrible that it isn't ours.
