All good and all but even with something like this, what if your business was to try to rule the world and everyone in it with the billion dollar resources at your disposal?

The problem isn’t the money, the religion, the systems … it’s the age old ancient idea we never seem to want to acknowledge or deal with, ever since we first stepped out of our cave thousands of years ago … the idea that some people should rule and others should be ruled and that we should all fight and kill one another to maintain that order.

Well there are movements like voltunarism and individualism. Something Franklin probably would’ve been a supporter of.

I’ve been made to feel like I had to walk through a lot of crap over the past few decades of world history only to realize that people have been walking this same path for thousands of years more to realize this.
