There are mostly two types of people in chess- those who don't know what to do with the queen and just exchange it given the first chance and those who don't know what to do without it and resign once they lose it.

So, these are your heroes? "In 2011, a twenty-six-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine Web site hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything—drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons—free of the government’s watchful eye. It wasn’t long before the media got wind of the new Web site where anyone—not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers—could buy and sell contraband detection-free. Spurred by a public outcry, the federal government launched an epic two-year manhunt for the site’s elusive proprietor, with no leads, no witnesses, and no clear jurisdiction. All the investigators knew was that whoever was running the site called himself the Dread Pirate Roberts. The Silk Road quickly ballooned into $1.2 billion enterprise, and Ross embraced his new role as kingpin. He enlisted a loyal crew of allies in high and low places, all as addicted to the danger and thrill of running an illegal marketplace as their customers were to the heroin they sold. Through his network he got wind of the target on his back and took drastic steps to protect himself—including ordering a hit on a former employee. As Ross made plans to disappear forever, the Feds raced against the clock to catch a man they weren’t sure even existed, searching for a needle in the haystack of the global Internet."

"During times of stress, your body can release cortisol after releasing its “fight or flight” hormones, like adrenaline. This happens so you continue to stay on high alert. Cortisol also triggers the release of glucose (sugar) from your liver. This provides fast energy during times of stress. Sleep deprivation also causes your body to secrete more cortisol during the day, perhaps in an effort to stay alert." #energyharvesting

Indeed I remember being haunted by this movie for most of my childhood. <Later critics praise the film's ability to transgress "the boundaries between the imaginary and real", toying with audience perceptions.>

I find it interesting how people confuse the images that drive the psyche with the reflection in their mirror. Everyone uses the term ego but nobody actually understands what it means. Without an ego your immune system will just stop doing it's work and the information in your genes will not be passed forward. And that's not a conversation, that's just an answer to a very dangerous idea rapidly perpetuating in "spiritual circles"
