 I’m always slightly blown away by people who build something because they want to explore and “why not”, rather than for any particular utility. This project is no exception!
 
 It’s been a while since I files this link away for future me to read, and I now conveniently have a printer to be able to try it on, so I’ll definitely be reading the follow up post and trying it out if I can!

 I fit the eNxP model by this article's assertions, and it feels representative enough to be useful. I like the idea of these tools to label & understand yourself _particularly_ because you can figure out where you _don't_ fit the model/where the label _isn't_ useful.

 A very interesting read indeed! I’ve not looked into the origins of money before, but Cory’s explanation of the ideas behind _Debt: The First 5,000 Years_ is extremely thought provoking. It certainly explains why money can feel so… oppressive.
