 Statists (shitcoiners) love abstract power hierarchies and appealing to authority. In their worldview there’s no way emergent phenomena determined by a free market / nature could ever be better than some central authority backed by sophisticated reason and logic. 

Kind of interesting because the normie archetypes / middle of the bell-curve might be selecting against themselves as we enter a new meta of personal responsibility, proof-of-work, and meritocratic/naturalistic means of determining hierarchical structures within humanity. Ironically, they’re proving their inadequacies as potential genetic candidates to propagate themselves into civilization’s future by subscribing to such malignant and archaic belief systems.  

That’s a long-winded way of saying: HFSP.
