  • Gold Is No Longer Money Because It Can’t Be

    May 2, 2020, 10:43 AM

    —“I want to stress the importance of understanding gold is money, not an investment. With banks on Comex getting into greater difficulty it is increasingly likely the US Treasury and Exchange Stabilisation Fund will attack the gold price in an attempt to save Comex and the banks.”—Alasdair Macleod @MacleodFinance

    That’s false. Gold is a durable commodity. The transaction cost is too high to function as money. The fraud rate is too high to function as money. The scarcity is too high to function as money (there isn’t enough of it). It’s too open to manipulation to function as money. Edit

    I”m not against anyone. But you’re either integrating into the militia, the natural law, duty reciprocity and truth, markets in everything, trifunctionalism, optimum government, and evolutionary necessity or you’re not only undermining western civlization, but mankind, and you’re not only depriving those of us who inherited all those institutions from self determination but leaving us no choice but war.

  • The Dollar Is the New Form of Money.

    —“The dollar is the new form of money. There is relentless demand for dollars. Relentless! As populations age the time value of money declines. The preference for money LATER comes to exceed preference for money NOW (because older people need savings). That’s why you have 0% interest rates across the developed world.”—Michael Churchill

  • The Social Utility of Sh-t Talking and Sh-T Testing

    May 3, 2020, 9:18 AM TRUTH: Sh-t talking provides mindfulness. It provides safe competitive dominance play while showing respect at the same time. It requires self regulation. It requires cunning. It allows public accusation and admission of truths. It is desensitizing. It builds trust. I can’t say enough good about it. Whereas GSRRM does the opposite. The techniques of GSRRM and Sh-t_Testing as the via-negativa undermining vs Sh-t Talking and Bragging as the via-positiva advocating explain the social utility of each.
