It's actually the last person who walked the final path, because they made the decision to implement the code that way.

Someone has to take it upon themselves to put a sign there saying, "STOP! Habitat Restoration in Progress. Please choose another path."

And that's just it. Humanity has carved a path that says, "Make as much money as possible with the least amount of effort."

These machines have taken something we already know is bad, the 90 day, quarterly earnings cycle, which had already obliterated our long-term thinking down to nanoseconds and we want it even shorter.

We have machines moving virtual money around corporations that use money to move real material around the earth -- and beyond.

That is the path we are on right now in this very moment.

Who is going to put a sign up saying, "STOP! Humanity Restoration in Progress. Please choose another path."

Nature. The Universe. Or whatever you want to call the fact that we are trying to grow limitlessly in a limited space.
