Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

I absolutely hate that. I would never idolize crap like that.

And that exemplifies how different we are.

Tend to agree.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -George Bernard Shaw

RADiX (formerly eMunie): The future of money

Itʼs a logical error to presume that every man who attempts to change the world, is trying to adapt the world to himself. That is a fallacy I've seen collectivist slaves attempt to use to belittle those who dare try to advance the technological status quo or stick their heads above the poppies. Collectivists want to feel smug that no one can do anything on their own, to feel they have powers over others in the form of the collective corral, because they're too inept or afraid to take risks of their own.

The inventor of the printing press wasn't trying to adapt the world to his personal characteristics. Rather he was inventing a technology that would lead to mass communication and the Renaissance and radically accelerate the progress of mankind and civilization.

Btw, the RADIX whitepaper appears to be gibberish.

This was the real intent of capitalism but somewhere along the lines the sheep started to take shortcuts because the system was designed to let them. Humans are short term and linear thinkers. Those that think nonlinear when solving problems tend to be the ones who also have the moral compas when solving issues for a purpose rather than profit.
