Hi @barge,
Thanks for your interesting thoughts :) Yes, I agree that transparency is important; hopefully our future will be designed around systems that have public accountability. I think the monetary system lays the foundation for so many other corruptions and I'm enjoying our rapid switch to crypto.

I'm with you on the Gutenberg press theory. I also feel that what we might be witnessing at the moment is people's disenchantment with authority and (hopefully) a migration towards an understanding of the world that relies on self-education and knowledge instead of accepting information based on the prescribed authority of a source: Government; the media; etc.

Now that we know that most mainstream sources of information are corrupt; we have the opportunity as individuals to personally investigate all knowledge that was imposed upon us rather that arrived at through personal experience.

Interesting times!
