We are all forced all the time to follow social norms. Short of moving to a cabin in the woods, this is inescapable, for better or worse. In this master/main debate it seems like we can make some people happy with minimal cost. In the end it is a tiny irrelevance, when compared to other norms being changed.

“main” is shorter than “master”. “sub” is shorter than “slave”. Why worry about social issues when you can just type less and move on? :)

Burning olive oil can’t melt copper bars! The attack on the twin ziggurats was an inside job masterminded by the King of Uruk, Gilga W Mesh!

Bitcoin has a marked capitalization of about 30 billion USD. A S-400 air defense system costs 1.2 billion USD. So you could trade 25 of those systems using the entire “supply” of bitcoin. Russia calimed to have about 450 of these systems before the war. Even if they would use bitcoin for trading military equipment, cryptocurrency simply does not have the volume to pay for a meaningful amount of equipment.

You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to guillotine the monarchs, not dine with them!

How do you know which option to pick though, if both seem equivalent in the moment?

When faced with seemingly equivalent choices, pick the once that maximizes your future options.

In Switzerland a major highway got damaged by floods and they expect some valleys in the Alps to become uninhabitable. We are ahead!
