I love how people neglect the power of emergence although it’s literally the root of civilization as a whole. If one pays attention it’s everywhere. A platform that lets people do their thing always eventually wins against a closed system, and a decentralized ‘platform’ always eventually wins against a closed platform. It’s slower, but it harnesses the power of emergence. Which is the force of nature itself. A garden can be made quicker than a natural forest, but the forest eventually subsumes all gardens. Decentralized money will eventually win. Nostr will eventually win. People will look back at today’s social media walled gardens as a curious trivia. Much like we see the closed computing networks of the eighties.
