ASICs are a touchy subject, but we shouldn't be fighting over MSR's upcoming PoW change. The problem with CryptoNote ASICs is the centralization portion, not that it's an ASIC necessarily. In the current climate, this would mean that basically two companies (as of this writing) would dominate the hardware market for those kind of coins, and is a bad form of centralization with arguable defensible positions.

Monero's current thoughts regarding ASICs is in the long term to commit to a specific PoW that will be integrated in lets say 2 years time (while committing to PoW variants on each fork until then), which would give fair market competition to develop ASICs, and not cause centralized "secret" mining as what happened with Bitmain.
The Masari community is indifferent to this position, since it may be conceded that ASICs (or FPGAs at the very minimum) are inevitable and only measures are needed to ensure decentralization. However, we may diverge from this and include in our roadmap research on an entirely new ASIC/FPGA-resistant PoW if deemed necessary.

@Cryptomaxsun I've seen you comment and discuss on this forum since early days. Putting the ASIC flame war aside (which includes other people), I'm confused why you'd resort to throwing ad hominems at the community (falsely saying it's not intelligent) and misrepresenting the roadmap (since we have clear reachable goals in the horizon, publicly shown on the home page https://getmasari.org/ ).
