in his words.............

"Now, my goals have shifted. I want to use economic theory as a means to abolish the use of coercion and agression amongst mankind. Just as slavery has been abolished most everywhere, I believe violence, coercion and all forms of force by one person over another can come to an end. The most widespread and systemic use of force is amongst institutions and governments, so this is my current point of effort. The best way to change a government is to change the minds of the governed, however. To that end, I am creating an economic simulation to give people a first-hand experience of what it would be like to live in a world without the systemic use of force."

this kids a genius.

He was largely caught through surprisingly low tech means. A handle that he used early on to promote SR was publicly linked to a Gmail account that had his real name in the address

I was pretty shocked to read that he was using gmail especially based on the secure set up he had.
