Good luck! Are your lectures in Spanish? Our comms lecture was in English even though none of the teaching staff were native speakers.

The two things that irked me was the misunderstanding around soft forks and the constant comparison of our engineering with aircraft engineering. Aircrafts have an intense maintenance schedule, last 30 years, and have a long supply chain. Things that don't translate well to what we do.
I also got the impression that the past soft forks were apparently in the disinterest of miners, when in truth miners were often fighting users over increasing the block size. The idea that past miner expectation has to be fulfilled at any cost seems bad too. There is no single expectation and it is not clear which point in time we should take to measure this expectation. I get the feeling that the whole argument seemingly caters to the big public mining companies. But we already have soft fork activation mechanisms for them to express their opinions, so the whole line of arguments feels like a straw man for what you already pointed out as a 'gold bug' vision.
Cash on the internet is my goal and this seems to be running against it a bit.

2) is this even solvable?
4) or you argue your point, mobilize support and get your PR merged. If good work is still rejected, argue your point with better evidence, my experience is there is always at least one other person that will be sympathetic to you. And sometimes your idea just might be shit.
6) this just recreates git?
8) maybe suggest reforms for either adding more editors, or editors focusing on singular topics?
There will always be editors for evolving technical documentation, or it will become unreadable over time.

"The word 'crypto' today represents a repugnant abomination, a festering swamp of duplicity and moral decay, so utterly despicable and irreparably tainted that it casts a dark shadow over the noble aspirations of Bitcoin. This loathsome 'industry', birthed from the most corrupt recesses of greed and deception, deserves nothing but to be vehemently denounced and abandoned, lest its foul stench continues to defile the purity of Bitcoin's visionary premise."

One thing that's been at the back of mind is that I feel like integration across racial boundaries took a step back again in South Africa. I saw fewer interracial couples, and fewer white people hanging out with black and coloured people. In general felt like everyone was keeping closer to their communities again. Not saying this a real thing, but it left enough of an impression, that I'm writing this.

I feel like this applies to specced protocols in general, but not sure about Bitcoin. The problem is that its consensus is always re-implemented from a reference client, and a bug free reimplementation is close to impossible imo.
