Plausible deniability will work fine for Bezos until he's less popular than a republican president.

This is true of all kinds of tokens. The real takeaway is that cryptocurrencies are now so valuable that there are a plurality of individuals with over $100M, no taste, and no sense. This is a result of massive flows of money into the space. Fungible tokens are trivial replacements for large swaths of any financial system. There are great things going on adjacent to this sideshow.

I wasn't as clear as I'd like to have been. I agree that sane suicidal people exist. I don't believe it's surprising that people assume that suicidal people are not sane - the heuristic is accurate and helpful for those who need help.

Edit:

I feel compelled to add a qualification to what I've posted.

If anyone thinks they are rational and suicidal: I don't believe you. Self-harm is an emotional behavior. Our brains are designed to help us lie to ourselves when we're emotional. The odds that you are the one philosopher in an arbitrarily large crowd of people who's needs aren't being met is incredibly slim.

I grant no one abstract approval for ending their own life.

Toilet paper is by definition fungible. If one square was not "the same" as the others I'd throw out the whole roll.

This sounds more like undefined behavior in your codebase than a compiler error. I don't know Rust but I'm pretty sure the whole selling point is that you won't run into problems like this.

I can not speak of you or your friends situations, but I disagree with your generalization:

>Somehow the idea that someone can be perfectly sane and not want to live as long as possible is inconceivable to people.

There are many people who have considered suicide, chosen not to follow through (or failed), and then realized that they were in an emotional state of mind. Suicide is a generally pathological phenomenon - horrible things will happen if we don't accept this as the null hypotheses in specific cases.
