What if we don't want to be told by you where we can and can't have a discussion?

Anti-vaxxer is a pejorative word, it lumps people together in ways that aren't fair. Many were just skeptical and wanted to discuss and debate the evidence, and that was ridiculed,…

I think you're kicking the can of personal responsibility down, or in this case up, the road. There are groupmind tendencies and competing groupthinks, as well as industrial corrup…

Using the most extreme possible examples to justify a policy.

Yeah, 30-40% of the population needs psychologists and propagandists to evaluate or re-educate them. I think this viewpoint you're espousing might be part of the problem.

This is retold in musical form in quite a lovely way by Hedwig and the Angry Inch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJUNH-Fs4EA

>The fundamental failure of this logic of trying to go somewhere and built a new city to escape the policy failures of the old city, is that those conflicts are intrinsic problems …

Governments are not households. Using this metaphor only causes more misunderstandings.

There are better and deeper ways of understanding money. You think fiscally sovereign nations need to borrow their own currency, and that isn't correct. You think government spendi…

This is beautifully put and very true!

A lot of this boils down to emotions, which are not being fully processed in your system. When you recognize a strong feeling within yourself, you can work with it to find a balanc…

>If $20k was just given to everyone, it’d have a massive inflationary effect. Forgive me if I ask - on what basis do you know this? The quantity theory of money and the theory of R…

This may be true, but I'd take a slap in the face if it meant another person had a place to sleep at night. I can deal with slaps in the face. It's mostly an emotional feeling of b…

Money doesn't come from taxes and debt. It is created de novo within a computer system. It is conceptualized, according to intellectual paradigms, as originating as a 'debt' and be…

Publicly created money does not come from taxes. It's generated de novo within a computer system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AyT9zftNrE

They're not being 'rewarded'. They're being saved.

In this case we're pitting this theoretical family's feeling of being wronged, against the actual needs for shelter and economic solvency of another block of the population.

This is one of the reasons why the brilliant and unconventional economics professor Steve Keen recommends a debt jubilee for all citizens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBbXwQTvl…

You make a really beautiful point here, thanks for that.

>The real loser here is the future of the US dollar. This presumes that the quantity theory of money (and/or the theory of Ricardian equivalence) is correct, which it most likely i…

How are the most responsible people being hurt by this though? They continue to live in the same world they did prior to the rent being paid for the others. It's simply, in my view…

The liminal nature of the phenomenon is the calling card of a higher intelligence, seeking to fulfill/manifest it's understanding of metaphysical principles. The primary metaphysic…

People who want to tell the old Austrian story about money will always find supporting evidence to do this. If you are seeking to view everything as a nascent currency crisis, beca…
