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?

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

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.

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