    Good luck and all the best! Feel free to DM me at any point with the music if any of the above changes -- always a fan of good music.

    It used to be illegal to bribe. Used to... Make a law impossible to enforce, and you suddenly transform the act to a totally legal one, at the expense of people losing trust in the…

    That's what the U.S. army used to do, and why they invested in the Silicon Valley. [1] Also a lot of research grants still flow out of the DoD. [1] https://responsiblestatecraft.or…

    I had the same question, but I can only speculate at the moment. The cynical part of me thinks in a similar line: create an artificial differentiation and push people to upgrade. I…

    You hit the nail in the head with your last sentence. It is a psychological defense mechanism. People don't want to be associated with fraud and would do any mind tricks to explain…
