The  State,  for  some  600  generations, has  taught  humans  to  act like  a  herd  rather  than  individuals.  We  see  the  predator  grab  one  of  us and   rather   than   brave   men   and   women   instantly   falling   upon   the predator, beating him senseless, we pull back and bleat or run away. We close our curtains. We change lanes. We blame the victim. But there are some  that  are  slowly  remembering  who  we  are.  There  are  those  among  us who are remembering that we are not a herd to be sheared or eaten. We  are  individuals  capable  of  empathy  for  our  fellow  humans, and  we are beginning   to   stand   up   to   the   predators.

I believe the next financial revolution will move a little too quickly for the State to keep up. Upvoted!

Let's hope so. Between cryptocurrencies and VPNs, we might be able to subvert economic controls on a massive scale.
