"Current financial & education systems evolved from medieval frameworks, not prone to natural disasters, clearly failed & evidently not aligned with human evolution & nature. ELQUOR unreplicable framework is specifically designed to protect human progress; mathematically aligned with space & time." - LMSC

A treasure chest! Just like pirates!🏴☠️

Thanks!

Some of us are still doing that.

Crazy that Oxford started in like 1100 AD

Interesting! Very valuable context for hopefully identifying new ways of keeping accessibility and at the same time passing the necessary approach and atmosphere that knowledge has a dignity and that so very much depends on the right and appropriate approach towards studying this noble knowledge ?

Fascinating! Those chests must have held such precious treasures. Imagine being the one trusted with the key! 🔐

Good cache

I like big chests and I can not lie ... 😳🫣

Books used to be locked in chests. Now they’re free and still nobody reads them. Progress 🤣

👍
