Almost all wealth today consists of promises (obligations) that are only remittable (payable) if the economic velocity continues unabated. Most paper wealth only exists then as momentum. End the momentum, and end the wealth. End the wealth, end the influence.

Because specialized knowledge is often counter-intuitive, professionals in a discipline overestimate their understanding. This is why economists can only give opinions on very narrow specializations within their craft.
Because of the inescapable effect of anchoring, specialists rapidly decline in predictive ability over random surveys of the general population on matters of public behavior.
The general public is a constant victim of overestimating their understanding, and display pervasive dunning-kruger effects. Meanwhile specialists underestimate their understanding for the same reason.
While each individual in the general public is demonstrably an idiot about almost everything, enough of the general public grasps his state of affairs well enough to bias the survey of the public opinion toward a more accurate prediction than that of specialists.
In other words, a lot of people tend to be more right than a few people when it comes to general things, and specialists tend to be right about very specific things, and everyone in between is pretty much useless.

There is no equality among men; only better or worse in this way or that. There is no rest or respite for us. Rule is costly. But one must rule or be ruled.

The church only cares for itself. It has no truck with Europa. It never did. We were but excuse. Labor for the fields. Coin for the tithe. Fools for the book of lies.
Rule or be ruled.

“We few. We happy few.”
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

It is very hard to tease a woman with no insecurities, Russian pragmatism, and no sense of irony. Teasing is for us idealistic idiots in the west who must be reminded constantly to keep our feed on the ground. 😉

NO MORE PSEUDOSCIENCE. NO MORE LIES. NO MORE PROPAGANDA. NO MORE SUPPRESSION OF THE TRUTH.
Rule or be ruled.
Truth is enough.

People justify what they want by looking for comforting words. People know the truth of what it takes to construct what they want by seeking operational definitions.

If you cannot describe what you mean in operational terms then you do not know of what you speak. Period. End of story.

MUSLIM CONFIDENCE IN THEIR IGNORANCE
(you see this kind of stupidity from the left and the muslims)
—If socialism is the next stage of human society, why bother fighting for it?—
Socialism is impossible. It cannot be the next stage of human society. So the question is not meaningful.
–But look at this quote: “…….”—- (moronic sophist drivel that conflates economic and political models, ie: verbalisms.)
Definitions:
Socialism: the involuntary organization of investment, production, distribution, and trade and the absence of rational incentives.
Capitalism: the voluntary organization of investment, production,m distribution and trade, and the presence of rational incentives.
“Mixed Economy”: the voluntary organization of production distribution and trade, and a ‘fee’ collected by the government for use in the production of commons by legislative means.
Rule of Law: the market economy in which all actions must be voluntary, fully informed, productive, and free of negative externality
Democracy: (economic or unitary) the selection of legislation by majority rule.
Republic: the selection of representatives who determine legislative outputs by majority rule as proxy for citizens.
Totalitarianism: the choice of commands at the discretion of some elite.
So whomever is writing what you quote is a very ignorant person.
I have another question:
Why do you think you are either smart enough or knowledgeable enough to discuss these topics, and hold an opinion on these topics? This is the interesting question.
