if there are loops and there are spirals, what has to happen to split the loop and spiral it? What breaks the pattern? Something that was suggested to me was to shift from a vicious cycle to a virtuous cycle. Then the question, how to make virtues attractive enough for people to want to play that game?

I'm also wondering, how many characters do I have in each post?
