It is scary to think the companies could flex later on to become the exchanges themselves

The outcome probably depends on who discovers who. If we find them or they find us first. Our history shows we'll likely subjugate them while knowing what their history is would be an unknown but I suppose it would be nice to think their intent would be to bring a positive outcome.

I would agree the world would have been better off without them. Like reddit, it's built on engagement and the system is self reinforcing on negativity. Perhaps there's data that show the vast majority of people prefer to be in that state but shouldn't we push for the opposite? Perhaps myself and others would have seen a lot less murders because society doesn't glorify these kinds of actions and push others to copy cat so they can 5 minutes in their sun on there way to hell. I don't know I'm just some guy...
