Hahaha! I like your strategy.

I look forward to reading your post. It's an intriguing comparison you make, Michael.

I'm not sure if you mean the $25M or paid subs for Robert but I share your thinking on the latter both personally and in terms of designing an economy. I reserve the right to turn on paid subs, and I don't condemn those who do, but I saw no reason to create a class system for subs if I didn't need to.

And my economic system has four interactive ones within it: a subsistence economy for participation in food production, a reciprocal system for local goods and services backed by the housing, a trade system in the national currency, and a gift economy for ideas that can be infinitely replicated. Truth definitely falls in that category ;-)

Re $25M or paid subs I would say both to be on safe side! I mean help, to even consider that sum, is his reputation worth that much??

I count my reputation as nothing now at 62 years of age, although I do not want to be unfair tarred for something I did not do or say. I can be a fool, and old fool now, but perhaps I am a little wiser.

A worker is worthy of his wages, but problems arise when people manipulate the truth or string things out for gain and certainly Robert seems to be doing that.

In the New Testament the apostle Paul kept his tent making trade going rather than ask for money so the truth he told would not be tainted.

And Jesus said freely you have received freely give.

I like those 4 points of your economic system, thank you for that.
