The medieval church forbade usury and claimed that usurers went to hell. However, as the feudal system of the Middle Ages declined and merchants emerged as an emerging power, usury businesses amassed enormous wealth. Usurers donated their corrupt wealth to monasteries, and when they died, they could be buried there. It was a bonus that the donor usurer could receive the sacrament of confession shortly before death. Fear of the afterlife caused poor churches to accumulate wealth, used to decorate walls or build larger, more elaborate structures, leading to the Renaissance era. The unjust usury business sparked a literary and artistic revival. Let go of the illusion that only good things can change the world for the better or the right. The innocence of ignorance about how the world works makes it easier to accept sin and corrupts the world into evil. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Virus intelligence has a level of intelligence that cannot be considered life but poses a threat to humans. Only one factor accounts for this: the “self-replication ability.” Creating a company entails a self-replicating mechanism to replace the founder or president. Even individuals with exceptional skills can amass moderate wealth, but they cannot achieve great wealth without recognizing the importance of self-replicating ability. Self-replicating ability is not merely a matter of intelligence and skill; it is about replication—specifically, the survival instinct.
