Yeah, it made me pause, reflect, and step back about the movement and about anything that has a strong ideology.
So if there's anything in your life that has a strong set of ideas behind it, be careful.
That makes sense.
So there is something about, yes, no system protects you from an individual, but some system enable or serve as...
better catalysts than others for the worst aspects of human nature.
So for example, communist ideology, I don't know if it's the ideology or its implementation in the 20th century, it seemed like such a sexy and powerful and viral ideology that it somehow allows the evil bad people to sneak into the very top.
And so that's what I mean about certain ideas sound so nice,
that allow you, like the lower classes, the workers, the people that do all the work, they should have power.
They have been screwed over for far too long.
They need to take power back.
That sounds like a really powerful idea.
And then it just seems like with those powerful ideas, evil people sneak in to the top and start to abuse that power.
And some of that is just accidents of history too.
Which individuals finds which system, you know.
Yeah.
With FTX versus Coinbase versus Binance, which individual, which kinds of ideas and life story come to power.
That matters.
It's kind of fascinating that history turns on these small little events done by
small little individuals that, you know, Hitler's a failed artist or you have FDR or you have all these different characters that do good or do evil onto the world.
And it's like single individuals and they have a life story and it could have turned out completely different.
