I read an article about how bees understand arithmetic, and few thoughts came to mind after thinking about my personal life experience with government, taxes, religious authority and free movement.

The first and most striking thought that came to me was how much my views had changed since we 10xed our capacity in cloud storage and bandwidth.

To put in perspective — I was born 1979 — my first computer was an HP 486, and using email in college (Tulane, 2001) wasn’t a “thing” yet.

My second thought was Europe is a mess* and any blow up there poses more of a threat to humanity than NK, Middle East, India-Pakistan, USA-Russia or China-USA.

France recalls Italy’s ambassador as yellow vest movement grows, African people immigrating to Europe en masse while Germans deal with paying the price for Grecians not having their finances in order. Meanwhile, London is trying to BREXIT only to realise that importing cheap labour from Eastern Europe and their Russian money problem might be an issue.

My final thought was — Thank god for Bitcoin, it is one of the better tools humanity has to help usher in the post-government world. Just hoping the western alliances can keep their sh*t together long enough for Bitcoin to thrive.
