Protocols are some sort of un-shoggoth. Skeletal horror as opposed to flesh horror. Protean shape-shifting vs. fixed shapes. Ooze vs barriers. Normies think crypto is cringe. Crypto people are misguidedly trying to make crypto “Fun” ™. The real trick will be to make crypto a dual kind of horror to AI. Skeletal horror. “I’m the one who knocks” terror. Absolutely mindless, crystalline commitment/determinism. Sharp separation between absolute freedom and absolute constraint. Horror always comes in dualistic pairs: Vampire vs zombies. Ghosts vs monsters. Whale vs squid. Ethereal green clinical anal-probe alien vs insectoid bites-head-off alien.
