High level goals for humanity:
1. Pass / derisk the great filters
2. Reach type 1 on Kardashev scale
3. Launch von Neumann probes to explore the galaxy
The answers to many modern problems are simple but politically incorrect.
So instead of solving anything, everybody pretends they don't know what's going on, and spend years misdiagnosing the issue, talking in circles, and wasting time.
If you think hashing is the same as encrypting, then you didn't understand the diagram you sent.
Hashing isn't reversible; it loses data, so decryption isn't possible.
Mining isn't just 'guessing,' but for the analogy, it works. In real life, miners ‘guess’ random nonces for hashing, so it's still essentially a guess.
