  1. Jesse, you should possibly change the "Capital- normal/physical" to "human/physical" as it refers to people instead of just normal which is just a broad term.

  2. Jesse, I suggest that you should change the word "Security" to "Scarcity" because you the have the wrong word mixed with the wrong definition
