I'm not a mathematician at all but does anyone know if this may have implications in the field of cryptography, because it involves prime numbers? Also, the word "cryptic" in the title. ;)

Didn't Jobs quit college because it was too expensive?

Either one. The money still gets into the economy.

Isn't investing in bonds putting money to work in the economy? And how does the government really stimulate demand? Nobody demanded an IPhone before it existed. Good products stimulate demand.

Western workers are very productive per hour work but we still have to work some hours.

I agree it will eventually happen, but of course it will happen faster if we're less productive.

The pastors I'm familiar with all work a typical work week - 40 hours or more. Plus visiting the hospital, counseling, weddings, funerals etc.

Yes, let's work 3 days a week in the West. China will continue to work 6 or 7 days. Fast forward 10 years and the reserve currency will be the yuan.
