Why are we all still alive then? We work around the most pathetic systems every day. Is there no willpower anymore? Just enslaving ourselves to short term incentives?

Come on, you’re smarter than this. Why ask such misleading questions? You can be alive and still be pathetic.

It's not meant as a misleading question at all. What I'm arguing is that whenever a system is shitty then we work around it. To do the right thing. Or whatever we think is right. That's also what Bitcoin is. If the system dictates all outcomes, why are you running nix and not the windows app store?

You still have choice within a poor system. And you can choose to make a change. You can choose to not be a victim of a system and reject something, even if it hurts (and in this case even that isn't true). You're not a slave. You can effect change. Even in a broken system.
