Wow. There are some really beautiful words here. Thank you to everyone included in that chain which brings such touching words for our collective and individual healing.
According to Barack Obama, economic inequality is "the challenge that defines our time." Computer hacking is a powerful tool to combat economic inequality. The former director of the NSA, Keith Alexander, agrees and says that hacking is responsible for "the greatest transfer of wealth in history."
I have to take a little exception to this above assertion by Keith Alexander. I understand the intention of including this quote is very good - to help inspire future (and present) hackers to manifest love into this world. However (i.), the "hacker" responsible for the greatest transfer of wealth in history is actually Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothschild_family The "hack" of creation of a billion dollar bond, duly filed and backed up by slutty statute law to fortify "full faith and credit", set off and established the (literal) greatest wealth transfer in history - i.e., from the Kings and Queens, and from the people, to the Rothschild's banks and those in bed with them. However (ii.), a little digital hack o' the day can indeed cause astonishing transfers of fiats in alternative and interesting directions.
