“At some point in the 20th century we lost our way. The Liberal principles that made us free and prosperous were betrayed. A new political class, driven by collectivist ideologies, took advantage in times of crisis and saw the perfect opportunity to accumulate power. All the wealth created by capitalism, until then and into the future, would be redistributed through schemes of centralized planning, setting in motion a chain reaction with the disastrous consequences we are experiencing today.
By promoting a socialist agenda while insidiously operating within the liberal paradigm, this new political class distorted the values of classic liberalism, replacing freedom with “liberation”, using the coercive power of the state to forcibly redistribute the wealth created entirely by capitalism. Their justification for this was their sinister, unjust, corrupt, and abhorrent idea of “social justice”, complimented by theoretical Marxist frameworks aimed at “liberating” individuals from their needs.
At the core of this “value” system lies the fundamental premise that equality before the law is not enough, as hidden systemic injustices “exist” which must be rectified. This idea is a goldmine for those in the political, institutional, and bureaucratic class who aspire to omnipotence. This along with the total curruption of money, is fundamentally what wokism is about. The goal, and indeed the result, of this malicious agenda has the total reversal of western values. Each of our civilizations pillars have been replaced by distorted versions of themselves while its institutions dismantled into irrevocably corrupted into broken shadows of their former selves. This ideology of monolithic thinking, upheld by these twisted obscenities formed one united purpose; to penalize descent.
“White privilege”, feminism, M.A.I.D, LGBTQ+, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, immigration, abortion, environmentalism, gender ideology, COVID lockdowns..etc, have all become heads of the same demonic beast, aimed a justifying state (govenment) expansion through the appropriation and distortion of these once noble causes”
In the labyrinth of modern discourse, the concept of “fluid truth” has emerged not just as a philosophical idea but as a tool with profound implications for society. Here, we explore why fluid “truth” can often be wielded as an instrument of manipulation, particularly by those with agendas of control and power, and why objective truth remains its most formidable adversary.
A Mechanism of Manipulation
Malleability for Control: Fluid “truth” by its very nature is changeable, making it an ideal vehicle for those who wish to shape public opinion or narrative to their advantage. Globalist elites or any group with sufficient influence can mold this “truth” to fit economic, political, or social agendas, often under the guise of progress or necessity.
Disinformation Campaigns: In the hands of the powerful, fluid “truth” becomes disinformation or propaganda. By altering perceptions of what’s true, they can justify actions, influence elections, or even wage wars, all under the banner of a ‘truth’ that serves their interests.
Erosion of Trust: When “truth” becomes fluid, it breeds skepticism towards all information. This mistrust can be weaponized to undermine institutions, scientific consensus, or any opposition, leaving the populace vulnerable to control through confusion.
The Tyranny of Relativism: If all truths are fluid, then what’s to stop those in power from declaring their narrative as the predominant truth? This relativism can lead to a form of tyranny where might decides right, and dissent is dismissed not with evidence but with the assertion that ‘truth’ is subjective.
The Bulwark Against Tyranny
A Beacon of Clarity: Objective truth stands unyielding, offering a reference point that cannot be manipulated easily. It demands evidence, logic, and consistency, which are anathema to the agendas of those who thrive on ambiguity.
Empowering the Individual: Knowledge of objective truths arms individuals against manipulation. When people understand facts, they can question narratives, demand accountability, and resist undue influence.
Scientific and Moral Foundation: Many advancements in human rights, technology, and medicine are rooted in objective truths. These truths provide a foundation for ethical standards and progress, which fluid “truths” can undermine or delay for vested interests.
The Threat to Power: For those seeking to control, objective truth is dangerous because it can’t be bent to serve a narrative without evident falsification. It’s why totalitarian regimes first target academia, science, and free press — institutions that champion objective truth.
The Dynamics of Conflict
The conflict between these truths isn’t just philosophical; it’s fundamentally about power. Objective truth acts as a check against the abuse of power by providing a common ground for all, regardless of status or wealth.
Globalist Agendas: Often, globalist or elitist agendas rely on a managed consensus, where “truth” is tailored to ensure compliance with or passive acceptance of policies that might otherwise be questioned or opposed. Objective truths challenge these narratives by offering undeniable facts.
Cultural and Social Engineering: Through the manipulation of fluid “truth,” cultural shifts can be engineered, often bypassing democratic processes or debate. Here, objective truth serves as a reminder of what is, versus what is being promoted.
The Role of Media and Education: In this battle, media and education become both battlegrounds and weapons. Media can either propagate fluid “truths” or uphold objective reporting. Likewise, education can teach critical thinking to discern between these truths or indoctrinate with fluid narratives.
Let’s face it, folks, history isn’t just a dull subject we snoozed through in school; it’s a crystal ball showing us that a whopping 33% of humans have a bizarre love affair with tyranny. Yes, you heard that right. Here’s the lowdown on why some among us are just thrilled to throw objective truth out the window for a taste of the despot’s pie.
**1. The Comfort of Being Led: There’s something oddly comforting about not having to think for oneself. Why bother with the headache of making decisions when you can have a nice, strong leader tell you what’s what? It’s like choosing a guided tour over backpacking through the wilderness of free thought.
**2. The Illusion of Security: Tyranny often promises safety. “Give me your freedoms, and I’ll give you security,” says every dictator ever. And guess what? A good chunk of the populace nods in agreement, trading in their liberty for the illusion that nothing bad will happen if Big Brother’s watching.
**3. The Bandwagon Effect: If everyone’s jumping off the bridge of democracy into the river of authoritarianism, why not join the splash? There’s a peculiar human tendency to follow the crowd, even if the crowd is marching towards a cliff labeled “Loss of Rights.”
**4. Ignorance is Bliss: Who wants to deal with the complexities of truth when ignorance comes with such a peaceful ignorance? The bliss of not knowing or questioning means you can cheer for policies that harm you, all while smiling because, hey, someone else is handling the “thinking.”
**5. The Scapegoat Game: Tyrants love a good scapegoat, and so do their followers. It’s far easier to blame “them” (whoever they are this time) for all life’s problems than to face the mirror of self-responsibility or, heaven forbid, objective reality.
**6. Cult of Personality: Some people just love a celebrity, even if that celebrity’s main gig is oppression. The charisma of a tyrant can be intoxicating, making followers overlook pesky details like human rights abuses in favor of a leader’s magnetic smile or snappy uniform.
**7. The Thrill of the Forbidden: There’s a certain allure in supporting something that feels a bit naughty, a bit against the grain. Who cares about freedom of speech when you can be part of something edgy, like a regime?
**8. Denial as a Lifestyle: Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt; it’s a lifestyle choice for many. If the truth is too uncomfortable, why not just deny it? Climate change, economic disparity, or basic human rights – just ignore them, and they’ll surely go away.
**9. The Allure of the Strongman: There’s something about a man (or woman, but let’s be real, it’s often a man) in a sharp uniform or a well-tailored suit promising to fix everything. Who needs messy democracy when you’ve got a guy who says he alone can fix it?
**10. The Love for Simplicity: Life’s complicated, isn’t it? Well, not if you’ve got a tyrant. They boil everything down to black and white, us versus them. Who cares about nuance when you can have slogans?
**11. The Denial Den: Ignoring the truth is an art form for this crowd. Economic downturn? Fake news. Human rights abuses? Necessary for security. If it doesn’t fit the narrative, it’s out with the rubbish.
**12. The Echo Chamber Effect: There’s comfort in numbers, even if those numbers are marching towards a cliff. When everyone around you agrees that the dear leader’s new clothes are fabulous (even if he’s naked), why would you say otherwise?
**13. The Thrill of the Forbidden Fruit: There’s a rebellious streak in cheering for the underdog, even when that underdog is actually a top dog chewing on freedoms. It’s like being a fan of the villain in a superhero movie.
**14. Order Over Chaos: Sure, freedom’s great and all, but have you tried authoritarianism? It’s order, it’s structure, it’s telling you what to do, think, and say. For some, that’s a feature, not a bug.
**15. The Pied Piper Phenomenon: Leaders with a knack for storytelling can lead their followers anywhere, even into the jaws of tyranny. If the tale is captivating enough, who cares where the path leads?
The Great Globalist Heist: Why Decentralism is Humanity’s True North
In a world where globalism has been sold to us like the latest must-have tech gadget, it’s time we hit pause on the playlist of promises and start listening to the track of truth. Here’s why decentralism, with its raw, unfiltered honesty, is not just a trend but a necessity for humanity’s future, wrapped in a fun but intellectually robust package.
The Globalist Illusion
Globalism: Picture this as a giant, corporate-themed amusement park. You enter, enticed by the promise of unity, efficiency, and progress. But soon, you notice:
One-size-fits-all policies: Ever tried buying one-size-fits-all gloves? They fit nobody. Globalist solutions often ignore local cultures, economies, and needs, leading to a misfit that benefits the few at the expense of the many.
The Elite’s Playground: At its core, globalism often means a few CEOs and politicians in back rooms deciding what’s best for everyone. It’s like a game of Monopoly where only a handful play, and the rest are just pieces on the board.
Loss of Identity: Like a smoothie blender, globalism mixes everything until you can’t tell one flavor from another. Cultural uniqueness gets lost in the homogenization process, turning vibrant local traditions into bland corporate spectacles.
Decentralism: The Truth Serum
Decentralism, on the other hand, is like choosing a craft beer over mass-produced lager. It’s about:
Local Empowerment: Imagine if every town could brew its own policies, suited to its unique taste. Local governance means decisions are made by those who actually live with the outcomes, not by distant entities with little to no stake in the game.
Innovation Over Imitation: In a decentralized world, innovation isn’t about following a global template but about crafting solutions that fit the local context. It’s like DIY versus IKEA – one size fits one, perfectly.
Resilience Through Diversity: Ever heard of not putting all your eggs in one basket? Decentralism spreads the risk. If one area faces a crisis, it doesn’t bring down the whole system. It’s like having multiple escape routes planned in a video game.
The Financial Revolution: Bitcoin vs. The Dollar
The Dollar (Globalism): The U.S. dollar, often seen as the face of globalist finance, has been printed like it’s going out of style, leading to inflation and wealth concentration. It’s like a central bank playing God with the economy, where the only rule is “We decide, you comply.”
Bitcoin (Decentralism): Here’s where it gets digitally delicious. Bitcoin represents a shift towards financial decentralism. It’s money that doesn’t ask for your permission to exist. It’s like giving the economy back to the people, where transactions are transparent, and no central authority can manipulate the supply.
The Catastrophic Consequences of Ignoring Truth
If globalism continues to mask its lies with promises of unity and prosperity, we’re looking at economic disparities, cultural erosion and environmental catastrophe:
Centrized planning and its one-size-fits-all policies can lead to significant global missteps while the requirements for a global agenda will never work work everywhere.
Direct control and manipulation of the money supply (M2) by A Central Bank.
Government spending (Theft) and taxation (Extortion).
Simply when they can no longer function together in order to achieve their intended goal. Its like when the break pedal suddenly starts acting like the gas pedal.

Cryptocurrencies and ICOs are all the rage these days, with everyone from celebrities to your next door neighbor looking to get in on the action. However, it’s important to remember that investing in cryptocurrencies and ICOs is highly risky and speculative. The prices of these assets can be incredibly volatile, and there’s no guarantee that you’ll make any money by investing in them. In fact, you could easily lose everything that you put into them. So if you’re thinking about investing in cryptocurrencies or ICOs, make sure that you understand the risks involved and only invest what you can afford to lose.
Javier Milei, Argentina’s new libertarian icon, has taken to governance with the zeal of someone who’s just discovered the ultimate function of a chainsaw isn’t merely for cutting wood but for hacking away at the overgrown bureaucratic jungle of government excess. His approach, which could be described as “economic shock therapy” or “chainsaw diplomacy,” has certainly raised eyebrows worldwide, including in Canada, a country often seen as the polite cousin at the global economic dinner table.
While Javier Milei’s approach in Argentina might provide a dramatic plot twist in the narrative of economic policy, Canada would be wise to adapt these lessons. The idea of slashing government size, fighting inflation, and reigniting economic growth is universally appealing, but the Canadian version will likely involve a lot more consensus-building than chainsaw-wielding.

I want to tell you all a story about the 1 million dollar (US) Moped…..
A lot of people have heard this moped story, but here’s the math on it.
In 2016 a man needed $5,000 to pay his wife’s master’s degree school tuition. He didn’t have the $5,000 in cash at the time, but he did have bitcoin.
Bitcoin was trading at roughly $500, so he would have had to sell 10 bitcoin in order to pay his wife’s tuition. He didn’t want to do that so he sold his car instead for $5,500.
He took $500 of that, bought a shitty moped, and used the rest to pay his wife’s tuition. So he rode the moped around the rest of that year and everyone around him made fun of him. Usually he’d play this part of the story up, but to be honest, the reality is that it didn’t bother him.
Most of the people making fun of him were poorer than he was, they didn’t understand bitcoin, the market, how money works, or even basic budgeting.
When people would made fun of him, he would tell them why he was doing what he was doing. Next, he would start prepping them with questions about their financial life.
“Oh so you financed your refrigerator? You’re still paying that off huh?”
“You’re financing your car, the 5th one in 10 years? How much money does that come to again?”
“You have a timeshare you’ve never been to? How’d you get talked into that?”
People would generally ingnor or dismiss him. Those who didn’t would often go from laughing at him riding that ridiculous moped, to feeling shell shocked after he popped their bubble of comfortable delusion.
Still he drove the moped and everyone thought he was being weird, ridiculous,, daft ,and silly
Fast forward to 2024. At 100k, his decision is now worth 1 million dollars, well, 1 million 50 thousand to be exact.
In time, it will then be worth 10 million.
And at 10 million, in time, it will then be a nine figure decision.
…….100 million dollars…….
You see, He only rode that stupid moped for 8 months total.
So ask yourself? Would you face 8 months of sacrifice and ridicule for a potential 100 million dollar (US) future?
After all, there are things you could be doing today that would generate that for future you.
The moral of the story advice is for you to have your own moped moment.
Do something a little weird/cringe/out there in order to stack more sats and then check in on the sats in 10-15 years.
I think you’re going to be happy with the results.

Welcome, renegades and degen. economic enthusiasts, to a journey through the cosmos of economics, where the dense tome of Ludwig von Mises meets the futuristic gamble of Michael Saylor on Bitcoin. Strap in your economic seatbelts because we’re about to dive into a narrative that’s part “Human Action,” part “Space Odyssey.”
First, let’s set the scene with a bit of backstory. Ludwig von Mises, a man whose name sounds like it could be an alien currency, wrote “Human Action: A Treatise on Economics” in 1949. This book isn’t just any old economic text; it’s the economic equivalent of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – vast, insightful, and occasionally baffling. Mises argued that economic phenomena are the result of individual human actions, driven by subjective value judgments. He’s essentially saying that economics isn’t about numbers or graphs (though those are fun, too) but about the choices people make.
Now, let’s fast forward to the 21st century, where Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy, decides to take a page out of Mises’ playbook. In a move that was either brilliant or bonkers (only time, the ultimate economist, will tell), Saylor announced that MicroStrategy would start buying Bitcoin in droves. By 2025, they’ve amassed over 200,000 Bitcoins, which, if you’re counting, is a lot of digital coins for one company to hold.

This article is Inspired by @JustinTrudeau, @cafreeland , @theJagmeetSingh @BlocQuebecois , @CanRevAgency , @bankofcanada and yes, and even the great messiah and bringer of rain, @PierrePoilievre
“It’s Grade 11 Math” @FossGregfoss , and there’s no stopping this train. 
Although they may not personally be aware, Trudeau, Freeland, and even Singh’s egos can’t recreate the laws of mathematics, physics, and thermodynamics. Every Fiat currency in history has failed and you all need a reality check.
**SPOILER ALERT** ; We may not be rich, but are not stupid.
The Global monetary system is already insolvent, fiscal and monetary policy have diverged, and the Canadian fiat dollar is goin to zero. It’s a slow motion rug pull on the tax-payer and that’s the plan.
It’s mathematically impossible to pay off the deficit in Canada, let alone the debt, without inflating our money on purpose and lying about it. THEREFORE, it’s a mathematical certainty that the government will debase our dollar to $0.00 in order to accomplish this.
As such, its on you, Pierre. You need to do one of five things. Continue the scam and re-value commodities, create a new monetary system, join BRICS, adopt the US dollar, or peg our trash currency to #Bitcoin
Good luck!
In any case, on to the article.
Ah, the government – that glorious entity that it claim’s fuels our economic engine. Let’s be real here: if the economy were a car, government would be the oil leak you just can’t fix, constantly draining resources and leaving a mess for others to clean up. Here’s why the government isn’t the engine; it’s the economic parasite:
Businesses and individuals are the true creators and innovators. From the Wright Brothers to Silicon Valley, innovation thrives outside government control. Meanwhile, what does government contribute? Regulations that might as well be innovation kryptonite. While regulation is necessary for consumer protection, environmental safety, and fair competition, an excess can be stifling.
Over-regulation has created epic barriers to entry for new businesses, increased costs for existing ones, and chased out innovation. The compliance costs associated with navigating complex regulatory environments has been a particularly burdensome disaster for small businesses, which are the engines of job creation and innovation, thus hampering economic agility and growth.
Example: Soviet Union, where innovation was as dead as disco, with the state controlling every aspect of economic life, resulting in bread lines instead of bread lines at tech expos. The Canadian version of this may be sold as a woke utopia, but its no different.
The Government might allocate resources based on political considerations rather than economic efficiency. This can lead to investments in projects or industries that are not necessarily economically viable or beneficial in the long term. For instance, subsidies to inefficient industries, or projects chosen for their political appeal rather than economic return, can drain resources that could have been better used elsewhere. This misallocation can stifle more dynamic sectors of the economy that would naturally flourish with less intervention.
Example: Compare the economic stagnation under Mao’s Great Leap Forward with the economic miracles in post-WWII Japan, where government intervention was minimal compared to private sector growth.
Why do private sector services generally outperform public ones? Because competition. Ever tried getting a passport renewed in a hurry? You’d have better luck asking a sloth for a sprint. Healthcare in countries with heavy government intervention often results in long waits and rationed care.
Governments are often criticized for their inefficiency due to bureaucratic overhead. The process of implementing policies or projects can involve numerous layers of approval, which slows down decision-making and action. In contrast, private sector entities are driven by profit motives, which push for efficiency, quick decision-making, and innovation. This bureaucratic inertia can lead to delayed economic growth, as initiatives might take years to come to fruition, by which time market conditions might have changed.
Example: Look at Cuba, where healthcare is government-controlled, versus Singapore, where the private sector plays a significant role, leading to better service quality, even with government oversight.
Government-run healthcare and education systems often suffer from one-size-fits-all approaches, leading to inefficiency, lack of choice, and in Canada’s case, become government indoctrination agency’s. Think of education for example, where innovation is stifled by bureaucracy and ideological possession. And the result? The production of angry and dumb globalists, waiting for instructions from the government, ready to inform on their neighbors.
When governments monopolize services like healthcare, education, or utilities, there’s often a lack of competition which can lead to inefficiencies, lack of innovation, and poor service quality. Without the pressure to compete, there’s less incentive to improve or innovate. While some argue for the necessity of government-provided services for equity, the outcomes in terms of efficiency, innovation, and sometimes even quality, can lag behind what competitive markets might offer. Examples include long wait times for medical procedures in some countries with fully public health systems or the stagnation in public education systems where choice is limited.
Example: The U.S. has a mix, but look at areas with high government control in education; they often lag behind states where private schools and charter schools thrive.
Governments are notorious for creating policies that inadvertently kill innovation or make it too cumbersome for startups to thrive. The red tape can strangle even the most resilient entrepreneur.
Government borrowing, especially when it leads to high deficits, can increase interest rates. This phenomenon, known as the crowding out effect, occurs when government borrowing drives up the cost of borrowing for private entities. Higher interest rates can discourage private investment in business expansion, new ventures, and infrastructure, which are crucial for economic growth. Essentially, government borrowing can starve the private sector of capital it needs to grow.
Example: North Korea vs. South Korea. The former, with 100% government control, remains a technological backwater. South Korea, with its vibrant private sector, is a global tech leader.
In an era with less government interference, like the roaring 20s in the U.S. or the economic miracles in Asia post-war, we see economic dynamism. Conversely, in times or places where government control was absolute, like in Maoist China or the Soviet Union, economic vitality was about as lively as a graveyard.
While government does play essential roles in economic stability, infrastructure, and addressing market failures, these points illustrate how, in some contexts, its actions can inadvertently hinder rather than help economic vitality. It’s crucial to strike a balance where government intervention supports rather than supplants the dynamism inherent in free markets and individual enterprise.
So, next time someone tells you government is the engine of the economy, just remember: the real drivers are the entrepreneurs, the workers, and yes, even the consumers. The government? It’s just there for the ride, often making it less smooth.

In the vast, often bewildering tapestry of human history, where events seem as unpredictable as the weather on a planet where the sun refuses to set, a few thinkers have dared to predict the storms before they brew. Four books, each penned by a modern-day soothsayer, have laid out frameworks that eerily mirror the current global scenario, offering not just a narrative of our times but a roadmap for what lies ahead. Let’s embark on a journey through the visionary predictions of William Strauss and Neil Howe’s “The Fourth Turning,” Lyn Alden’s “Broken Money,” Jeff Booth’s “The Price of Tomorrow,” and Ray Dalio’s “The Changing World Order.
Strauss and Howe’s “The Fourth Turning” introduces the theory of generational cycles, where history unfolds in predictable, repeating patterns. Their work, published in the late ’90s, posited that America (and indeed much of the Western world) was entering what they termed the “Fourth Turning” – a period of crisis.
Predictions for Today: The books foresaw a time of upheaval where society would face a significant challenge, possibly a war, an economic collapse, or a profound cultural shift. Here we are, amidst a global health crisis, economic instability, and a rising sense of political and social fragmentation. The generational conflict, with Millennials and Gen Z pushing back against the established norms, aligns with their prediction of an Awakening phase escalating into a Crisis.
Future Forecast: According to this cycle, we are in the throes of this crisis, which will culminate in a new order. Post-crisis, there would be a “High” – a period of rebuilding and unity. However, the specifics of what this new order might look like are left tantalizingly vague, much like predicting the flavor of the soup humanity will cook up with the ingredients left after the storm.
Predictions for Today: Alden warned of the consequences of unsustainable debt levels and the artificial inflation of asset prices, predicting a potential reckoning for economies reliant on ever-increasing debt. Today, we see this in the global debt crisis, the volatility in stock markets, and the general unease about the sustainability of our economic systems.
Future Forecast: The future, as per Alden, involves a re-evaluation of what money is, potentially leading to a new monetary standard, whether that be cryptocurrency, a return to commodity-based systems like gold, or something entirely unforeseen. Her vision includes a world where economic policies must adapt to technological deflation, suggesting a future where efficiency gains from technology could lead to deflationary pressures, challenging central banks’ traditional roles.
Jeff Booth, in “The Price of Tomorrow,” argues that technology inherently drives prices towards zero, advocating for an embrace of deflation as a path to abundance.
Predictions for Today: Booth’s book predicted the rise of automation and AI, leading to widespread job displacement due to technological advances. We’re witnessing this with automation in industries and the gig economy’s expansion, where traditional jobs are being replaced by more efficient, often digital, alternatives.
Future Forecast: Booth sees a future where, if we can manage the transition, we could live in an era of abundance with lower costs due to technology. However, this requires a seismic shift in how we view work, wealth, and economic policy. The challenge lies in navigating this transition without exacerbating inequality, which could lead to social unrest if not managed with foresight and equity.
In this grand economic narrative, the US and NATO’s failures aren’t just plot points; they’re pivotal moments pushing the world towards a more multipolar currency system. This shift isn’t just about currency; it’s about the redefinition of economic power and influence on the world stage. As we watch this unfold, one thing is clear: the financial world is embracing change, seeking stability, and perhaps, a more equitable distribution of economic power. While the US dollar has been the cornerstone of global trade for decades, the combination of decades of terrible geopolitical decisions, economic policies, and strategic failures have opened the door for the emergence of a new system. Maneuvers by BRICS, for better or worse, could herald the rise of a new era in global finance. While the dollar might still have its day in the sun, BRICS is rising fast. Backed by gold, bitcoin, and commodities, BRICS is offers promising a new dawn in global finance backed by tangible assets. It’s like promising a new dawn where the economic sky isn’t monopolized by a single star. Only time time will tell how this new economic constellation forms.
When we weave these predictions together, a complex but coherent picture emerges:
Immediate Future: We are likely in a phase where economic, technological, and generational forces are colliding, creating both crises and opportunities. This convergence could lead to a period of significant global restructuring, where old systems are challenged, and new ones are born amidst chaos.
Long-term Vision: The long-term future might see a decentralization of power, not just in governance but in how we think about wealth and work. The embrace of technology could lead to a society where the scarcity mindset gives way to abundance, provided we manage the transition ethically and equitably.
Adaptation and Resilience: The key theme from all these works is adaptation. Societies that can adapt to technological deflation, generational shifts, and changing global dynamics will thrive. Those that cling to outdated models might find themselves at a disadvantage.
In conclusion, these authors have not just predicted the current world events but have provided a lens through which we can view the future. Their works remind us that while history might not repeat, it often rhymes. Humanity, with its penchant for drama and unpredictability, continues to follow these rhythms, sometimes dancing gracefully, other times stumbling. But as any good guide would say, “Don’t Panic.” The future, while uncertain, offers a chance for renewal and innovation, provided we’re willing to read the signs and adjust our sails accordingly.

In the intricate dance of economic policies, harmony between monetary and fiscal strategies is pivotal for stability. However, when these policies diverge, the economic landscape can become fraught with unpredictability’s, leading potentially to what economists might term as an “economic crack-up boom,” and in extreme cases, to paradoxical effects of government debt management.
In this grand economic narrative, the US and NATO’s failures aren’t just plot points; they’re pivotal moments pushing the world towards a more multipolar currency system. This shift isn’t just about currency; it’s about the redefinition of economic power and influence on the world stage. As we watch this unfold, one thing is clear: the financial world is embracing change, seeking stability, and perhaps, a more equitable distribution of economic power. While the US dollar has been the cornerstone of global trade for decades, the combination of decades of terrible geopolitical decisions, economic policies, and strategic failures have opened the door for the emergence of a new system. Maneuvers by BRICS, for better or worse, could herald the rise of a new era in global finance. While the dollar might still have its day in the sun, BRICS is rising fast. Backed by gold, bitcoin, and commodities, BRICS is offers promising a new dawn in global finance backed by tangible assets. It’s like promising a new dawn where the economic sky isn’t monopolized by a single star. Only time time will tell how this new economic constellation forms.
Sadly, what we are experiencing today may not have happened to you, but have happened hundreds of times over thousands of years. Manipulation in money leads to the interplay between monetary and fiscal policy which ALWAYS end up diverging. When divergent, this leads to complex economic phenomena like crack-up booms and the counterintuitive stimulatory effects of high interest rates. These scenarios underscore the need for transparent and coordinated policy measures that consider both immediate economic impacts and long-term stability. Managing extreme government debt within this context requires not just economic ingenuity but also political will to undertake potentially unpopular, unconventional, and in most cases, “extreme” reforms. The lessons from such economic scenarios are clear: Abandoning sound money in exchange for fiat manipulation eventually leads to currency collapse. Policy coherence, vigilance on debt, and a forward-looking disciplined approach to economic management are essential to avoid these inevitable pitfalls of economic instability.

Cryptocurrencies and ICOs are all the rage these days, with everyone from celebrities to your next door neighbor looking to get in on the action. However, it’s important to remember that investing in cryptocurrencies and ICOs is highly risky and speculative. The prices of these assets can be incredibly volatile, and there’s no guarantee that you’ll make any money by investing in them. In fact, you could easily lose everything that you put into them. So if you’re thinking about investing in cryptocurrencies or ICOs, make sure that you understand the risks involved and only invest what you can afford to lose.
Government Debt: Governments often borrow money to fund various projects, wars, or just to keep the lights on when tax revenues fall short. This borrowing increases the national debt.
Printing More Money: One way to manage this debt is by printing more money (or in modern terms, digitally creating more currency). This isn’t as simple as running the printing press; it involves complex financial operations like quantitative easing, where central banks buy government securities to inject money into the economy.
Inflation Alert
Govt: whispers “Psst, we borrowed a bunch. Now, we’ll just make your dollars less valuable so we can pay it back with monopoly money. Shh, don’t tell the peasants!”
Here’s how they do it:

Imagine if five economic misfits teamed up, started recruiting the Emo economies, the Loner markets, the Nerd countries, and the Floating currencies. Together, they form a gang with one mission: to dethrone the Jocks (US), Queen bees (EU), Mean girls (G7), and Hipsters (NATO) of the global playground. That, my friends, is BRICS in a nutshell.

In the intricate dance of economic policies, harmony between monetary and fiscal strategies is pivotal for stability. However, when these policies diverge, the economic landscape can become fraught with unpredictability’s, leading potentially to what economists might term as an “economic crack-up boom,” and in extreme cases, to paradoxical effects of government debt management.
Monetary policy, managed by central banks, involves controlling the money supply and interest rates to influence economic growth and inflation. Fiscal policy, on the other hand, pertains to government spending and taxation. Ideally, these policies work in tandem; for instance, during a recession, a central bank might lower interest rates (monetary easing) while the government increases spending or cuts taxes (fiscal stimulus).
A divergence occurs when these policies produce the opposite effect. For example, a central bank might raise interest rates to combat inflation in response the government’s fiscal policy intent to stifle growth. But instead of creating a “cooling” effect, it produces a stimulatory mess.
The reason for this in a word; Debt.
In the US for example, with 135% debt to GDP, the government owes so much money (now greater than its entire military budget) that its interest payments to its lenders (government bond holders) end up adding M2 (cash) supply to the economy.
Hyperinflation or Rapid Price Increases: When fiscal policy is too expansionary, and monetary policy fails to counteract it effectively, too much money chases too few goods, leading to significant inflation or even hyperinflation.
Asset Bubbles: Excess liquidity, which can result from loose fiscal policy not aligned with tight monetary policy, often finds its way into asset markets, inflating prices of real estate, stocks, and other assets to unsustainable levels.
Currency Devaluation: If investors lose faith in a country’s economic policies, the result can be a rapid devaluation of the currency, further exacerbating inflation as imports become more expensive.
Public and Private Debt Accumulation: With policies encouraging spending over saving, both government and private debt might skyrocket, creating a precarious debt bubble.
Erratic Consumer Behavior: The uncertainty might lead to hoarding of goods or speculative buying, expecting future price increases, which in turn fuels the boom.
Traditionally, high interest rates are used to cool down an overheating economy by making borrowing more expensive, thus reducing spending and investment. However, in a scenario where government debt has reached extreme levels, high interest rates can have an unconventional stimulatory effect:
Confidence in Debt Repayment: If high interest rates are seen as a strong commitment to control inflation, it might restore investor confidence in the currency and government bonds. This confidence can lead to increased foreign investment, paradoxically stimulating economic activity.
Interest Payments as Income: For economies where a significant portion of the population holds government bonds, higher interest rates mean more income from these bonds, potentially increasing consumer spending.
Currency Appreciation: High interest rates can attract foreign capital looking for better returns, leading to an appreciation of the currency. While this might hurt exports, it can reduce the cost of imports, potentially stimulating domestic consumption.
Fiscal Discipline: The burden of high interest on government debt might force a government into more disciplined fiscal policies, reducing wasteful spending and focusing on efficiency, which might, in the long run, stimulate productive economic activity.
When government debt reaches extreme levels, the traditional tools of economic management start to behave unpredictably:
Debt Monetization: Central banks might be compelled to buy government bonds (effectively printing money) to keep interest rates manageable, leading to inflationary pressures.
Sovereign Debt Crisis: High debt levels might lead investors to demand even higher interest rates to compensate for perceived risk, creating a feedback loop that could culminate in default or drastic economic measures.
Policy Paralysis: The government might find itself unable to implement necessary but painful reforms due to the immediate adverse effects on the economy, further deepening the crisis.
