What I was getting at was Jeff enabled me to integrate something I hadn't quite been able to yet.
He was the perfect mirror for me at that moment in time.
I'd wager he's blissfully unaware of the value he gave me.
I want to argue the points you raised but perhaps it's best saved for another time.
Math is the closest to an objective truth I've come across & Bitcoin is math.
There are no coincidences.

๐ค Math is this tricky thing... Its less objective than people realize, I think. It starts with symbolic and false assumptions (numbers), though true enough to get started, then goes through logic (the math, also Logos), then comes back to a false but useful enough symbolic conclusion - a number. Only the middle part is objective, and its not objective in the way people usually use the word.
I'm not saying 4+4=anything other than 8. The process is the objecrivity. But if you measure a table as 4 feet long, then you're actually wrong. It's actually 4 feet and some decimal with infinite digits. But the measurement was useful enough. So what I'm saying is, Truth isn't a static thing - its a process - so neither can objective reality be static things. Symbols are representative of a reality we can interact with (process) but never actually know.
This might've been off topic. Anyways...
