Just re-listened to this (below) to hear his explanation of value, pseudo value, and anti value again. That's a very useful frame. Very bitcoinerish...

Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqsf5g2kjf2apgafua03mchyezpun03w2c2cslezktk0dvvp80x4slgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcr8wycl

As he explained it, an example of value is a walk in the forest, an example of pseudo value is a picture of the forest, and anti value is cutting the forest down. Of course, there could be creative destruction too, where the forest becomes a high quality coffee table - does creative destruction ever feed back into value, or can it only get to pseudo value? Still thinking about that.

I think this frame also helps understand sin. Sin is the disease within you that causes you to move from value to pseudo value to anti value. You think things like, "this is good enough," or "just this once," or "I won't destroy the whole thing," or "I have a right to speak like that because they're family," etc. But that compromise always involves a foregoing of the real value. Its substitution of lower quality for high quality. Its a moving target - once acclimated to the worse state, a yet worse still state becomes conceivable.

All government is a product of sin. A total government, whether or not overtly totalitarian, is total sin. That's because government is pseudo value, at best. Value is responsibility ; government exists to shift responsibility. Then it loops back and tries judging value through a lens of pseudo value, which can only misjudge value, and then it assigns resources based on that flawed assessment, which initiates a cycle of anti value.
