@markjeffrey By the way I’m already well into “The Pocket and the Pendant”. Just as wonderful as I remember it! And after so long I’m enjoying every twist and turn as though it were the first time!
@markjeffrey Haha. Well first I was thinking about crypto because I recently started looking into it. Then I randomly remembered that years ago I discovered the author of one of my favorite books became a crypto entrepreneur. Then I searched X for your name and “Max Quick” and voila!
@ruicharadrius We are forcing a population of trustworthy people to live in a low-trust reality because a selfish minority is allowed to exploit the system without consequence.
@ruicharadrius Debating the word 'oppression' misses the point. Call it indirect oppression if you like. The fact remains: a tiny fraction of people disproportionately dictate the need for public resources, law enforcement, and restrictive regulations that everyone else has to live with.
