What happened to just treating others as you wish to be treated in return? You just made me feel bad about all the times I wasn't empathetic. Not really, but witness how deeply ingrained our ability to use and feel guilt is.

It's the worst, except for all the others. Capitalists aren't anarchists and they don't revolt when taxed. We all want the best government money can buy, and we want the benefits of the market economy. It's a trade off,

So the solution to this problem is to break up large trades then? Isn't this decreasing liquidity and if so, how big of a problem is that? Seems like trading a large amount of anything has always been challenging.

In my experience recall takes longer with age, and that's only if it's memorized in the first place. I think anyone over 35 can relate to this.

But that would just be for one recording device. If you could use multiple devices, perhaps with small POV differences that could be corrected, I would expect no limit in that "lossy" case.
