If you look

I did try to look. My browser said "Secure Connection Failed".

the fraction of "hyper-equity" that a user can have, is very small (0.0001 to 0.001)

So, all of hyper-equity can be controlled by 1,000 - 10,000 people?

Ha:) Is that because we use self-signed SSL cert? Try again. We'll upgrade cert later.

No, as many people as there are problems (Goals). Potentially infinite.

If you're looking for gullible recruits, you've come to the wrong place.

Don't lease the Ferrari just yet.

Is exciting! :) [To be rational, we must work for well-defined goals, not for money that lacks descriptive power.]

On the contrary, it is worrisome that some people treat others as merely workforce that can be bought, and lack any empathy whatsoever.

So, who feeds you and pays for your housing?

See, we are not talking about the modern world. We are talking about changing the world to create the world of abundance.

Yes, but in the meantime you have to eat every day. Right now, who supplies money to you?

What point which you want to make requires me answering 'who supplies money to you?' question?
