The article says that Bitcoin could switch to proof-of-stake. Can it really do that and stay Bitcoin? I'm sure it would require at least blockchain split...

The next step will be the realization that asymmetry of direction towards self organization on all levels, coded as energy consumption/dissipation efficiency, is a built in property of our reality, and life and counsciousness as we understand then are not random accidents.

Quarks -> protons/neutrons, nucleus+electrons -> atoms, atoms -> molecules, molecules -> proteins, proteins -> cells, cells -> organisms, organisms -> ecosystems, stars -> galaxies, galaxies -> clusters, etc.

The last example made me wonder if it's possible to do something like this:

val oneInch = 2.54.mm println("One inch is $oneInch.cm() centimeters")
