The final archvillain is not the boring one you assumed. Instead, it's the one you knew from the beginning of the movie, that you kind of liked, because he was really good at getting your attention. But that turned bad and fraudulent retroactively the more you learn from him, and he grew bigger than any villain you could have anticipated. That's the final archvillain. Let's fucking go.

I think there is quite a few - some are loud some are more “dignified”
Always the one you watch hoping that the lessons they learn push them to the greater good. Then their heart gets jealous and they disappoint you.

"Slay your heros" is real in Bitcoin. Because short term incentives get to most. Bitcoin doesn't have the same ability to exploit others for VCs and influencers.
However there is a fallacy in your reasoning and of those criticizing him in this context, and especially the libertarians… twitter is a private company and the owner does what it wishes with it. Stop thinking products on the shelve are “yours”; heck, we should also stop thinking that if something is available on the market than it’s an inalienable individual right .

Nostr Lyn has no filters!!
Lyn, a question I always try to answer about scarcity in Star Trek. The Federation is a post-scarcity, no money society, so let's imagine this: Let's say the most desirable place to live in all of the Federation is in the top floor unit of a high rise building overlooking Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. The view, location, etc. are unparalleled and cannot be matched by any other living space. Everyone agrees this is the most desirable location and there is, of course, only one of these units. How does the post-scarcity, no money Federation society decide who gets the unit?
And just like a hollywood movie, you can usually guess the bad guy right away, if youre paying attention
Elihu from the book of Job--his speech kinda follows this progression from likability to scandalousness. However, elihu doesn't enter the scene until near the end of the book--piling on top of Job's three "righteous" friends.

The Devil always lives in plain sight
If you think there is the archvillain, actual one person, rather than an oligarchy, assorted collection of syndicates, academia, various bureaucracies, etc. - then you've been watching too many Hollywood movies. I also have a business proposition about a certain bridge over the East River.
