(LEARN8) Truth or (d)ie
When a myth dies, a condor is born.
Living knowledge -- its strength and vulnerability share the same beauty: it is not set in stone. Traditionally, this is not a favorable trait--ages of wisdom can be wiped away in the matter of a generation. At times, though, this vulnerability…

(IMAGINE8) Hey everybody, an old man is talking!
It's 2084. I am 100, and the Simpsons are in their 94th season (would be 95th if it wasn't for the animated character strike of 2063...how they held out on being drawn, I will never know).

(LEARN3) SimPower not so SimPle
SimCity 2000. It was the wave of the future. Microwave future, that is. Though I wouldn't understand how the word "microwave" applied till years later, the incorporation of a satellite microwave power plant in the 1990's computer game changed my life growing up.
Too strong of words for a utility essentially the equivalent of a 4x4 piece of virtual terrain? Perhaps. But the…

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
