I'm frequently appalled at how "hackers" and "technologists" here and in my professional life have little factual indea of how Blockchain works, let alone something like Solidity or EVM.

People have such cognitive dissonance since everyone has been pretty much lied to their whole lives on the nature of Money and Credit.
