Even when they explain their intent it doesnt make any sense, it just comes off as wishful thinking by guys who dont understand or dont want to understand that what became of their creation is what would probably always become of it.
They acknowledge that there is literally no difference between an "initial creation" of a work and the 2nd or 10 billionth copy of that work, yet they still go "Separating the initial creation from mere copies confers power" without providing any argument for why besides just the same smokescreen used by NFT grifters to insist that NFTs are worthwhile. Theres just no reasons or logic provided for why you should be optimistic about this like these guys are unless you dont understand the reality, dont want to understand the reality, or want to make money from grifting off it.
Contrary to the common wisdom "you can't shit a shitter", grifters and bullshiters have actually been shown to be more susceptible than average to scams/BS.
I don't know if its ideology (trying to square the sentimental value of "owning" something "unique" with the circle of capitalism dissolving everything sacred into vapid mass produced commodities) or speculation (trying to infuse an intrinsically worthless commodity with immense amounts of fictitious value in order to profit off some suckers who buy it) but yeah its something stupid.
Yeah, I don't want to be too elitist here but I genuinely wonder if the socialist framing of private property (as opposed to a more idealist kind like many liberals seem to have) kind of immunizes you against being duped by this.
The lack of understanding of historical materialism that is a result of suppressing socialism in the educational system in the west has been an utter disaster. Ironically enough it has even hindered the capitalists.
You can't just ignore basic facts of material reality unless you want to keep running into the same pitfalls over and over and over.
