In a democracy, power is given not taken. But it is still power. Love, compassion, caring have no use for it. But it is fuel for greed, hostility,  jealousy... All power corrupts. Take care which powers you allow a democracy to wield.

The US believes I have hidden crypto. I wish I did but it has dissolved through the many hands of Team McAfee (your belief is not required), and my remaining assets are all seized. My friends evaporated through fear of association. I have nothing. Yet, I regret nothing.

There is much sorrow in prison, disguised as hostility. The sorrow is plainly visible even in the most angry faces. I'm old and content with food and a bed but for the young prison is a horror - a reflection of the minds of those who conceived them.

I have a million followers but I'd be surprised if even 1% bother to read my tweets. Ramblings of an old man lost in a near infinite Twitter verse - like tears in rain. As you may guess I'm having a down day.

Now its Jeff Bezos. If space travel improves and becomes fashionable perhaps we can abandon the planet we have so thoroughly mangled and seek fresh ones to trash.

The intelligence of our electronic means of communication are evolving millions of times faster than the biological evolution of our brains. Soon our smartphones will have no need of us - mere appendages wasting valuable CPU cycles for utter trivialities.

Our government, in virtual secrecy, decides the course of our lives. We are not consulted. "Protecting national secrets". But there no "secret" national secrets. Hacking now far exceeds the power of data protection. "Secrets" is an obsolete term.

Governments spy on other governments. They spy on their own citizens. The departments within each government spy on the other. We live in an age of suspicion. Its only a matter of time before neighbors spy on neighbors. And children spy on their parents.

Love has no object. It is a state of being.

Today a man facing a difficult situation asked if I knew of painless ways to kill himself. Having little experience in such, I was of not much help. The amazing thing is that the tone of the discussion was like discussing the weather. Prison is a strange environment.

Addendum: The same concept of sequential XOR operations works with four data sets requiring three iterations and five data sets with two iterations. Strangely with six sets, the process unravels and produces chaos no matter how many iterations. Please God, someone explain.
