"What do we learn from all this? Mostly the same thing we learned when the crypto bros repeatedly rediscovered financial fraud, or when effective altruists decided the most effective altruism was to buy themselves a castle, or when ride share companies kept accidentally reïnventing the bus. If you start by ignoring everything that we already know, the best you can ever hope for is to accidentally rediscover the already-known."

@wendynather @pluralistic don't you see the fucking genius of this. It's very simple: "awareness of something" allows for stacking awarenesses: awareness of X, awareness of an awareness of X, awareness of an awareness of an awareness of X, add infinitum, and that's where the natural numbers come from.
