I am sure both of you are aware, but as long as the economic abundance of one is directly dependent on the economic scarcity of another there will be ample motivation for people with ill intent to justify their behavior through dystopic quotes like listed above. And there will be little to no reward for those who come with good intentions until they have given up on their ideals because of the rigged game.

It's not human nature, it's not unchangeable and not hereditary from what I can see and have experienced. It simply is part of the debt based fiat money structure that most of Western people have made a religiously integrated part of their psyche. We could also go further which would take us off-topic here for the time being.

Make a pool! Having read your mind (uhm... as in your postings ahahah, not quite there yet) I will definitely help out with sponsorship of the meme idea. And reading many other freethinkers' comment I would bet many more would be willing to give a bit of their earned Steem just to help clear up these issues for the future. you do NOT have to take this on your own shoulders, are we a community or what?

Had a great payout that I wanted to power up. I have just decided though that I will do no such thing until we get some actual answers here. Answers that pass not only the solidity- and logic-test, but especially the energetic-test to give it some cheesy name.

Pooling would also create a sub community in and of itself, giving participants opportunity to exchange ideas and to further gauge what the issue is that we are facing. We might be smart but only if we find a way to learn from each other's experience and views, no matter how "outlandish". Freethinkers can suspend judgment in listening to new and even dangerously-sounding ideas, no problem. A quality that I am missing completely with the notorious dev in question.
