I'm going to ignore everything that sounds too weird to address. Philosophy major? Drinking on a Tuesday?

As for laws, we're almost in agreement. People want to argue about rights, but it seems to me the rules are a lot more about control. I could ramble on quite a bit about corruption at every level from local police to federal politicians. ... to copyright enforcement.

However, most of the rules were made before the current batch of super rich people got super rich, so there's something oversimplified in thinking it's just about protecting wealth.

My bottom line? Compute problem? Whatever. I think the rest is just more weirdness I can't make sense of.
