I disagree, this force is not intentional it's something greater. An evolutionarily optimal pressure that exists all the way down to the smallest bacteria, all forms of life show this similar behavior. It is a species way to self preserve, prodding and testing all frontiers. Sending nodes into the darkness or depths, physical or psychological and across time, pushing back against over centralization. It gets interesting when we can see this process increasing the number of nodes being sent. It's as if there's a sense of danger or risk ahead then life anticipates by sending out more scouts, pushing us to the extremes searching for solutions. Hardening the species to whatever we will face. Major threats will always come. This is the only process life can use to survive. After all why does bitcoin or nostr even exist. We are the penguin... That penguin might look crazy, but it is on most important necessary and noble march suicidal or not.
