Haha, should have written it less sensationally. This is not false though. I think you might find "Martyrdom and Persecution in the Early Church" by WHC Frend interesting.

"Persecution was seen by early Christians, as by later historians, as one of the crucial influences on the growth and development of the early Church and Christian beliefs."

Yep that makes a lot of sense.

As long as I can see the parts working, the endeavour feels fun and gradually everything starts looking better - as the product gets "denser".

But wrt how it can impact society, might be worrisome with people emotionally depending on entities they can't have direct real life interaction or experience with. But again that's a separate headache with no real answers as of now. We can only deal with it once it exists.

IKR, it has to be easy to get users for this, no cap!
