 I haven’t seen either film, but I’ve had so, so many moments watching movies like this with friends who don’t understand what Art actually is.

But more important is to recognize that “Hollywood” is absolutely a propaganda industry casting a spell of hypnosis over people. I don’t say this as a hater, and in total sincerity I’m an Artist who recognizes great Art when I see it…but still, as a Bitcoiner: once you see the workings of a thing, you only see it. 

Yet you can’t discuss it, because the people we love LOVE living in the ‘suggestion’ and don’t wish to get out.

So I guess we abide. And hope. And wait.

“Dune” is the least of your problems, obv. Wait until your children begin to argue with you about how Bitcoin is damaging the climate….
