This is a powerful piece. Especially in the context in the way of some of the things that I'm thinking about. It really hit me where you said, "This means that not only are we targets for wealth extraction, we also have very limited opportunities and very few mechanisms to generate wealth using the code, not to mention that we also have on average a very low financial literacy to do so anyway."
If we aren't willing to learn about how we are being manipulated, we are already lost.
