 I’m not aware of these statistics, but I maintain that giving people tools to help them find what they want is not the problem. What they want is probably the problem.  

Just like becoming wealthy doesn’t make you into a bad or high time preference person, but if you are this kind of person and become wealthy, “there will be signs” and you screw up extravagantly. 

Cultures can only be saved by encouraging the people in them to be wise and make good decisions. When prevailing trends point them the opposite way, I blame that, not tools that simply make reaching their goals more efficient. 

Jesus fixes this. Bitcoin can help a little.
