You can't even kill yourself if it isn't your time to go. People have no control whatsoever over what happens to them, and they are beginning to realize this. The future lies in the time of living.

We spent most of the night trying to control the water from damaging our room,

Why should you. I mean, you know? I didn't take it seriously last year. No, it is just that I didn't want to pressure myself because I'm defending. To me, it's just another tournament.

With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.
