I think where people stop thinking correctly about the block size is that no matter how big it is, it's still finite and can't possibly scale to "buy a cup of coffee" as the network grows. Imagine many billions of transactions a day on the network, some for buying coffee. What it needs to do is be auditable by individuals running their own node, this is why small blocks are essential to the continued viability of the network. Layer 2's are where smaller purchases should and do take place for the most part. Trust minimized scaling for small purchases, not sure if lightning is the winner, but at the moment the most utilized and mature L2, time will tell though. View quoted note →

"The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda – a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make ‘good’ citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens." ~ H.L. Mencken
