The only thing torturous is how obvious the answer is 😂 I can only provide the framework and logic for someone to ask the questions to themselves. You can lead a horse to water…. If you’re looking for proof, just look at the chain. There is nothing else universally shared that produces empirical truth without bias. Everything else is a symbolic approximation of the process. You can’t expect truth all at once. Truth is, by definition, the unfolding of time and its composition, block by block. But I can continue to ask the question, how many blocks of time does it take?
