I know I’m over the target when Maurice resorts to calling my posts “chimp talk”. .....Bombs Away!

I guess chimps do like eating carrots, so carrots and sticks are motivational for them. The problem is chimps think only of carrots and sticks. But they also like lots of sex which is something people are also partial to. Which is why there are 7 billion more or less people now ruling the world = a good part of it anyway, though ants and other DNA species are doing very well too in various niches. Human motivations are quite chimpoid, though some are far less chimpy than others. Chimps love fighting neighbouring chimps, and each other too to be boss chimp. Humans of less chimpoid tendency increasingly operate on co-operation. Fortunately, that trend has improved by genetic winnowing for 10,000 years, so now there are huge populations of a billion people who spend very little or no time fighting. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of people willing to and love to attack other people to get to be boss chimp. You obviously misunderstand property rights in general and tradable citizenship in particular. And money. Money is just a unit of value so that things can be more readily traded. Maurice thinks only of money, hence the philosophy of buying citizenship rights. As nothing else matters but the money. Ignorance is a terrible thing. I recommend learning and understanding. Communists like communal property, where some pigs are more equal than others, and the bosses own the national assets and dispose of them as they like, including the human chattels. People who like private property and free enterprise think in terms of individual property rights, in which things are owned individually, or as an individually owned share of collectively owned things such as companies, or national assets. Money was a great invention so that assets could be made fungible by conversion to money, to be later converted to some other asset. If money is managed properly, it is stable and not diluted to destruction which is the norm in fiat money owned by governments. Fear is a very good motivator. But it doesn't produce the good stuff. Qualcomm wasn't motivated by fear, or greed, Irwin Jacobs started it for fun and to do really great things. Mobile Cyberspace was the invention of the most fantastic thing ever, from nothing, with gain to be achieved, not escape from fear, though of course it enables fearful things to be avoided such as being lost somewhere in a jungle or mountains. Elon's efforts are similarly motivated not by getting money, but by doing great things that benefit hordes of people, and of course fun. Money tends to be a measure of success. I note in passing your chimp mindset = "over the target". Even in discussion you use killing and destruction thinking processes. Try thinking of ways to sort things out, rather than excuses to attack other people, such as Russia Russia Russia attacks. I suppose, like Zbig, it's hard to escape youthful programming. But Stalin and USSR died long ago. It's time to move on. Mqurice
