I didn’t imply that you can’t strip the protocol down to its bare essentials and still use it, but what’s the point of a protocol if everyone is on their own personalized version of it? Version / Feature fragmentation is a massive problem and basically none of the third party clients are up to snuff. Synapse is a massive bowl of lukewarm dog water, and most alternatives to it die in a year because it’s impossible to keep up. There’s too much shit in the protocol.

It is, distilled down to its most basic point, about how powerful people have realized that disasters invite opportunity, and are now deliberately creating disasters to exploit the opportunity it creates.

Entire towns flooded due to climate change and bad policy becomes dirt-cheap land to buy and develop for the same people that caused the increased flooding risk to that area.

It feels like that is part of what’s going on right now in the US.

Bro it never stopped

The protocol is bloated to hell so third-party clients stand no chance, and the foundation spends more time bikeshedding or pissing away money than they do developing. It’s a doomed project.
