the planners are not stupid; the system is not broken or inefficient - it was designed this way; u can intellectualize that it isn't so until blue in the face, until u face the reality:

the system needs to keep people busy & distracted; block-shaped cities built with cheap material; attention distracted with AI-generated content; god forbid people activate their original creative potential;

it is the same with building on bitcoin - look at all the farce & friction; people cannot think straight, so parasites take over; #1317054
