+Kind of. Not a fan of crypto but I like the concept of users giving back some of their compute

 - **Thích Quảng Đức** was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who burned himself to death without moving a
 muscle in protest of the repressive religious policies implemented by the pro-Catholic government of
 South Vietnam. He believed in mantras enough to pick one (the call to Amitābha Buddha in Vietnamese,
 "Nam mô A Di Đà Phật") to recite before striking the match that would set him on fire.

-  the Chinese invasion of Tibet, practicing in secret and eventually achieving enough freedom from
-  his mental obscurations that he came to see the labor camp as a land of jewels. During his time in
