Neither visionary nor a founder.

There's kind of a difference between "whoever happens to be wealthiest at the moment" and "The 0.001% of the population that is three times wealthier than the bottom 50% of humanity combined."

I have absolutly seen people who are unskilled at picking up and moving boxes. It's not a task with a high skill floor, or a particularily high skill ceiling, but it exists.

And somehow my company has been uniformly capable of identifying and hiring these people.

I really liked Adrian Tchaikovsky's stuff. Particularily "Children of Time" and a lot of his standalone novels like "Alien Clay", "Shroud", and "Service Model".

Another good book that explores truly alien aliens is "A Fire Upon the Deep" by Vernor Vinge. I really like how a lot of concepts are presented in a way that initially lets you sort of figure out whats going on before too much exposition is used to clarify alien ideas.

Finally, I need to recommend David Brin's books, like the uplift trilogies or oven his weirder stuff like Kiln People. He does a good job of establishing a technology or social convention and building a world around it.

Seems like a lot of math they could argue.

Fine them daily gross income for each identified product for each day since the last inspection with no findings.

Make them beg for more frequent inspections.

Does it seem to 'descend' counterclockwise for everyone? Or do you see it as clockwise?

I choose to believe that that is not a list of three similar things, but a list of different ways to be remembered.

Do you want to be remembered as dilettante competing in a crowded field who managed to have the right combination of skill and luck?

Do you want to be remembered as the one collosal idiot with a cult of personality, who claimed to work for humanity but only ever dipped us into a kessler syndrome and helped set the conditions for the Bell Riots?

Do you want to be remwmbered as the inventor of a revolutionary technology in desperate times that single-handedly averted the doomed fate of humanity?

Given the existance of The Big Mac Index, which seeks to compare global currencies and their respective buying power, this is actually fascinating.

Airbending allows the owner to "cast" from exile, so any effects that would happen upon casting will still happen.

Some effects specify "when cast from hand" or similar, and those won't work, but the Emrakul in question should work as advertised.

He's over in French Guiana.
