There is no such thing as good or bad information
So deception as a concept doesn't exist in your worldview?
You just love taking every viewpoint to its outermost extreme don't you? Do you think this makes you sound like less of an extremist by purposely turning every argument into an extremist one? Extremism is a sign of low intelligence, because it means you are incapable of conceiving of anything that might exist between point A and point B, anything more complicated would not be able to be held in your mind for long or be understood.
I don't care if someone is trying to deceive me IF I KNOW THEY ARE TRYING TO DECEIVE ME, and I know what their end goals are. Just like full of shit politicians do nothing but lie, you can often interpret what the truth is by observing what they don't say, what they try to spin, and what they dance around. No piece of information is irrelevant, no matter how false, because it tells you something about the source at the very least.
Information is only useless if you fail to utilize it.
Information is
worse than useless (counter-productive) when it's incorrect and you accept it as correct.
Thanks for taking my point and rephrasing it as if it were your own. This is exactly why the source is important, so that authenticity and goals can be added to the overall analysis of the information.
The source of the information is almost more important than the information itself
The evidence strongly suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto would disagree.
Do you have a point here or are you just grasping at anything you feel even supports your argument in passing?
You can not appropriately utilize information if THERE IS NO CLEAR SOURCE.
Bitcoin has no clear source, yet here you are making a fool of yourself.
Bitcoin is code, not a scientific study or a political rant. That's like saying if a machine showed up in my driveway that printed money, I would just trust it inherently. That would be pretty dumb. I don't know for sure what the machine does or why it was put there. Does it explode when I turn it on? Did a cop put it there hoping I would just start counterfeiting notes so he could bust me? There are a lot of potentials that anyone except people drifting thru life or following dogma as a true believer question.
Only after long and careful examination can you even begin to decipher any of this (as I have done with Bitcoin over many years). A lot of people question the motives and origin of Bitcoin (and rightfully so). No one knows for a fact the true intent of the creation of Bitcoin because its source is obfuscated. For all we know we are using the next one world currency and playing right into the hands of the elite trying to create a cashless society.
You are the fool for believing for a second that there are no ulterior motives behind Bitcoin just because it has many beneficial properties. Then you go around telling yourself and others that you know, ever widening the sphere of ignorance of the general public while giving them a superior progressive illusion to grasp on to because it feels good.
