  20. i guess am really checked out of this shit but do people really believe that nfts will somehow let you share content between unrelated video games?
  21. anyone insisting that some technology is "inevitable" is actively making that technology inevitable and likely stands to gain from it. "inevitable" "too big to fail" -- these are statements of intent, not descriptions of reality. we have agency and nothing is fucking inevitable.
  22. sorry
