خمس دول انهارت في منطقتنا، ومع ذلك لم تتأثر أسعار الطاقة أو يتضرر الاقتصاد العالمي، انهارت هذه الدول دون أن يشعر العالم أنه خسر شيئا، ولكن حين تعرضت دولة واحدة - أوكرانيا - لخطر الانهيار تأثرت أسعار المواد الغذائية بشدة في كل مكان، هذا ما يحدث حين تكون مجرد هامش للحضارة المعاصرة.

As a man you are cursed to become the exact size of what you hunt. Hunt pennies and your soul shrinks to copper. Hunt kingdoms and your hands grow large enough to hold crowns. This is the law: God carved your capacity from the same stone as your ambition, and He will not let you cheat the equation. The man who fights giants dies a giant. The man who fights nothing dies nothing

The strongest form of punishment is evolution. Grow so far, so fast, and so deliberately that they no longer feel qualified to speak your name without being reminded they were outpaced while they played games.
If I’m worth something later, I’m worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is grass in the beginning
