🔮 1.2 But They Couldn’t Imagine the Counterforce
They imagined the Antichrist, but not Antifragility.
They foresaw oppression, but not open-source resistance.
They dreamed of apocalypse, but not a protocol of truth.
How could they?
• They had no concept of global, instant communication.
• No way to imagine mathematical consensus across borders.
• No vision of a digital covenant without hierarchy.
They imagined the devil of the future, but not God in the age of code.

🌐 1.3 A New Language Was Needed
Theologians wrote in the languages of scrolls, shepherds, and kingdoms.
But today’s sacred texts are whitepapers and Git commits.
Today, truth doesn’t arrive on stone tablets — it is mined, hashed, and validated.
In this new tongue:
• Proof-of-work becomes a parable of suffering and redemption.
• Private keys are sacred — “to each was given a name only they know.”
• Blocks are books in the Book of Life — immutable, ordered, eternal.
Maybe the prophets did hear the future,
but they didn’t have the language to describe what they saw.
