you definitely made this as far as I’m concerned OP

is that Mike Myers on the right?

I feel like I might be put on a FBI list for reading this.

The book isn’t a heart pounding thriller. I’m legitimately interested in how you would make a movie out of such lore dense tome without the dryness?

How does OP define unlimited? There’s hella diamonds but their release is controlled by a cartel inflating their value. Not unlimited surely but also not equally accessible so the price can be manipulated.

One could argue we currently live in a universe with virtually unlimited resources. It’s accessibility that is the issue.

anyone else see Spaceballs?

We just watched Russia circumvent sanctions post Ukraine invasion. Why would anyone think China would be less capable than Russia.
