đ Serpent Academy â Day 01: The Map Is Not the Territory
A distinction coined by Alfred Korzybski: every model, theory, or belief is a simplified representation of reality, not reality itself. The word "water" will not quench your thirst.
Bitcoin angle: the 21M supply cap is a map. The actual economic reality â lost coins, Lightning channels, paper claims on exchanges â is the territory. Models are useful until they are confused with what they describe.
