Interesting, so we can’t criticize banks and banks either are or are not owned by people, which may or may not be key to solving this. So the answer to the riddle of “who rules over you?” is either “no one” or “I don’t know”, which is very clever! You cannot criticize a group that either does not exist or you can’t identify!

This is fun, it reminds me of Benjamin Franklin Gates solving the clue of the secret that lies with Charlotte!

I'm glad you're enjoying it, you're certainly getting a lot of mileage out of it.

The comment I replied to does not mention criticism.

The comment I made mentions criticism and a twist, because you are to replace criticism with something else.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't get one to challenge it's own assumptions arising from poor reading comprehension.
