I am working out more of this too. We're all tag-teaming. To 'accursed shareholders' we can maybe add, at least, 'angel investors'. A theatrical term, obviously! There are now thousands of these 'angels' worldwide. Whoever sponsors the 'bad' and takes their unfair share would set up a kind of *duh* ex machina.

Etc etc. This one's on me:

'Confidence, in the end, has no ulterior derivation. It is miraculous. Half a millennium of demystification has led to this, clearing the stage for business-suited new magicians. The performance is underway. A tranquillized collective economic sphere is to be conjured into existence. As it entered its advanced maturity, The Great Moderation named it well. The Great Moderator – Mighty Macro – is a more valuable name still, for the One at the End who Looks Both Ways to Make Peace. That’s the Magician-God in the Bitcoin cross-hairs.'

Going forward, "the question of aura, which has necromancy written all over it and is just too perverted for me to forthrightly reject" got me most interested in what you have to say about this trend. I'm having FOMO induced anxiety attacks... Your analysis is appreciated.
