(Boethius' theology was grounded in his tradition. Having been doomscrolling Solomon's fortune cookie file after the privacy thread yesterday, not only did I find the dude was pro-privacy, I also serendipitously ran across his 28:8, echoed later by Kohelet 2:26, an early commentary on sharing bits vs. hoarding atoms?

> "He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor."

> "For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God." )

Da bosmang da bik, demang im du kapawu unte setashang fo inyalowda, im gonya gif imalowda fo demang im xalte ere kori beltalowda! (SIGINT excerpt from a meeting of a skinny so-called Revolutionary Expropriation Committee. One of our analysts says it's likely a paraphrase of Da Showxating Da Mali Solomong 28:8, while HR notes that if they have sufficient free time to view and requote literature then we should be able to increase quota. Voice vote?)

Da got da buk gif we gut unte sasating unte xush fo gutmang, fo papekawala im gif wowk unte peyeting unte sekrip, fo imalowda gif da ting xiya fo gutmang. -- Da Fewawala 2:26

for more recent commentary on these lines, there's the joke which ends: "Mayn ketzele, I like our new son-in-law. We were talking barely 2 minutes and already he thinks I'm G-d!"
