It means that we don't force it based on political activism. Case in point. Solar power although an unreliable source is great for house owners who want to pay for it on their roof for various uses. It's not great as part of our b

its not trying to explain what they are its trying to ask the right questions.

That's not the right premise for the discussion. A stone is a physical object, some stones are worth more than others. You can call the fact that humans apply value to thing a scam but that would give you a suboptimal understanding of

Pokemon cards, collectors card, Fortnite skins, art, watches and I could go on. All these and many many more things are thing people pay money for without any conspiracy behind. These tokens are already diversified beyond anyones control.

Squares internal motto went from Make Commerce Easy to Economic Empowerment some years back. Square Cash is really big in the black community so Jay-Z obviously have a lot to offer there to further expand the business. With regards to Selle

Cars is a net positive to society. The positive externalities far outweigh the negative. Cars like all other machines free up times for humans to among other things invent the internet. So unless you are claiming that cars are a net negativ

Trusting the science is meaningless and more akin to scientism, a kind of religion. Science says very little about the things we actually care about.
