But if you take a longer view it's obvious that humans have created a ton of stuff.

By the standards of our ancestors, we are all absolutely billionaires.

We are drowning in wealth, our lives are joyous and easy compared to our forbearers struggling in their caves.

Every single one of us is a Stone Age billionaire.

If people stop to think about why we are billionaires compared to our Stone Age grandparents, maybe they'll remember the importance of the code that created this world.

Is there an image that sparks that?

Can I convey this image with a sign?

There's an image here.

My word's not good.

There is way too much of an inferential gap.

No one got it, and to be totally honest I kinda knew this wasn't gonna do it.

But it was 10am on Saturday, 30 minutes before I was meeting my friends to carpool to the protest, and I was out of ideas.

At best I could hope that someone would ask me about the sign.

Very few people did.

Veal at the protest.

Including myself and my friends, there were APROC's 25 pro-billionaire protesters.

Journalists seem to be about 15?

I don't know if a ratio this extreme is good or bad.

It was quite a sight seeing a gaggle of them rushing up around the side of the protest to get photos of us from the front.
