RE: Whataboutism
thank you for the feedback. I was sitting in the train writing this, so I did not really have the equipment to add pictures... welp I guess I could have at least just linked some. I like original content, but I have to admit I rarely read posts without pictures myself ;)
I agree that one picture is a must. :c)
And since the post was not particularly long, it can get away with just the one (though a second one near the end is helpful).
I found the premise interesting, incidentally. One comment to an earlier point is that I am not a big fan of unquestioning reference of others as precondition. It is a shortcut, to be sure, but when it is coupled with an aura of unassailability, it can stifle or taint progress.
I actually try to keep my content short. I don't like to read too dragged out articles. Ofc the more credit to those long pieces that I actually read like yours about BTC ;). Did not have the time to really comment though.
"unquestioning reference of others as precondition" Me neither. But society loves to do it and I think to a certain degree even you have to:
Did you prove yourself that e=mc² or do you just believe that the narrative is convincing. At some point you have to say " Ok there are people who have provided a plausible theory."
Science usually observes a phenomenon and then tries to find an explanation.
Logic on the other sets preconditions and looks at the logical consequences of said preconditions. If the preconditions are true your conclusion has to be true "under all circumstances".
Without "common values"/preconditions we will never find a common truth. I also think it is good that people around the world have different values. I don't want to equalize them, I want them to make the rules/laws more local so communities can live to their values instead of global values.
