Thanks. Had not considered that. An acre of property is enough to get as close as possible, earning as much as needed for taxes and utilities thru death. Few other promises in life. That sounds more defeated than I like. What I mean is that steady state life through generations should look pretty similar, because we all eat and potty and need to be cleaned, etc. Transhumanism could speciate us, no doubt. I was deep into that for a while but can’t grok consciousness downloading yet so I’ve become a lot more wait-and-see. But back to the point, thanks for that angle.

I’ve objected to Bitcoin since at least 2010ish, where I mentioned that I didn’t want to turn the polar bears black on Facebook but maybe that it looks epic and brilliant technically.
