@0ee827a3…370e93b8 catch me up on this saga, I've been under a rock for a few months

hard or soft?

Yeah, my personal conclusion is it just doesn't matter. The uncensorability or further complexity of the network is inevitable at any and all levels. Or said in simpler terms, in a way, the integration of the network into society is the uncensorability. Some people will be puritan, they'll maintain a certain variation of the network, but they'll be connected to everyone else through Nostr, etc, etc. Teilhard de Chardin has this theory and concept called Omega Point, the theory is that we're heading for a complexification of society/humanity/individuals/tools/thoughts, etc, etc that will eventually lead to a higher consciousness (i.e a good thing, a better state). It looks spiritual but it has a lot of basis in physics. Plenty of people have written about this, in several fields of science. We are proof of the complexification of the universe. So all in all, I think the network is pretty much unstoppable at this point. Because it's not just Bitcoin, it's Bitcoin + Nostr + AI + people + everything else that is happening, like regional depopulation, which open more and more opportunities for new economic connections (circular economies), etc. But these individual positions, groups, are fundamental, because the network can't ever be group think. On the contrary, and going back to Teilhard's perspective, the more we approach the complexification/connection with the whole, the more our individuality comes about. Anyways, it's hard to express, but I'm personally less worried about these details than a few months ago.
