religious beliefs in technology, crypto, etc are some of the most nefarious 

they’re often rooted in an good, value-oriented impulse, but once enough ppl to form an in group believe the thing and want to memetically signal their belief/choice to others, things get irrational/stupid quick

good doesn’t mean necessary

but even if necessary, I wasn’t trying to make a normative statement abt what should be, just what is. 

knowing that religions exist, worthwhile resisting dogma in forming our own opinions
