Pssh, why build physical things when you can just gamble on things like virtual currency, virtual intellect, or even virtual reality… /s

... But someone will consistently collect money of real value if they have influence on the discourse making people flock the way they want.

Lesser Armenia has really flown off the handle lately. I don’t really know why they have UN membership, Azerbaijan is basically “what if the Saudi tried to build Singapore on the Caspian sea”.

With some KGB flavor, but yes, I was going to argue Saudis are not that bad, then remembered Hashoggi, al-Qaeda, ISIS, Yemen, the whole sharia state thing, and decided that the metaphor is fine.
