Why narrow it down to Clojure? Feels a tad artificial to me. AFAIK, any Dapp using Ethereum has to make use of their JSON-RPC interface, which is language-agnostic. So it's perfectly fine to build a Clojure application on Ethereum, alt

I've also experienced this kind of existential dread on and off for the past 10 years or so. What really helped me was reading the work of Alan Watts. I find the idea of the concepts of "self" and "other" being mere
