Marek, "Grand Control" is a good name for what ails the planet.

When I was a child, we had a children's book, "Tweedles Be Brave" about a tribe of monkeys in a forest with a king who wore a crown. I forget the details but one day all the monkeys realized they didn't need a king to be the boss and order them all around and they just played happily each doing what they wanted to do. The king was sad that he was no longer the Big Boss.

There are copies for sale still, for $hundreds! I should have kept my trove of comics and such like.

Humans do go through sociological cycles so I expect that we'll be back to the doom days again soon enough. WWI, WWII have been done. People will come up with a good idea to have WWIII, though it will be like me being in favour of child torture, meaning I wasn't, but what they do ends up causing WWIII through the Law of Unintended Consequences.

My Qi, or maybe Zenbu would be a better name, is not just an imaginary ethereal thing. It is going to be as real as the nose on your face and gold in your pocket [not that you have gold in your pocket necessarily]. It's just that I haven't quite finished the invention process.

Yes, Qi is in use in various forms but I mean a very specific form of cold hard fully fungible cash.
