Unidirectional air flow, whats the big d… oh.
Imagine your blood flow was not unidirectional. Not arteries and veins, just… vessels for both directions. You’d like – have to pump blood down into your extremities one heartbeat, and with the next one draw it back towards the heart. With the added malus that you only get partial replacement of blood, because you cant completely constrict your vessels.
You probably couldnt even leave your bed, let alone stand on two legs that way.

Some people with a lot of money who want to change politics in a given country do NOT belong to that country’s elites. To name some of the most prominent examples – think (dis)information campaigns by individuals like Mohammed bin Salman, Vladimir Putin or Rupert Murdoch.
Conversely, member of cultural elites can often be quite poor (journalists, artists).
