We need low interest rates and skyrocketing asset prices so that people pay 2% more to buy this next year. Consumption must go up so that people have worthless jobs producing trash that our politicians call economic growth, as people applaud their stocks rising.

It is mental junk food, its addictive, which is why I think it will be so effective. If you can make learning addictive then its bound to raise the average global IQ.

Mistakes will be less in the future, and its already pretty good now for subjects with a lot of textbooks and research. I dont think this is that big of an impediment, it will still create geniuses all over the globe.

If a house is 4 million dollars and you work as an uber driver or cashier you may have a different opinion that everything is good. All this current world order has done is monetize everything with debt, a big wall of debt that bids up the price of inelastic goods, as the rich borrow as much as possible to write off their cheap debt using their inflated collateral while never liquidating a penny of their assets.

Then when their mansion burns down due to building in a risky area or the bank that lends all this debt overextends then the government bails them out, as peoples paychecks are inflated away and they are denied pay raises due to the bad economy.

But I'm one of these smooth brains.

You should try this thing, its pretty neat, just press maya or miles. Though it requires a microphone so you may have to open it on your phone.

You're very cool too. I too wish I lived in a black and white world of heroes versus villains with no nuance or deeper thought.

Calls to violence you mean?

You want a circlejerk with no barriers, whereas I wish we could discuss the reasons why hes putting in tariffs and cutting spending. Project 2025 versus ETS2 for instance, or the fact China is buying fewer and fewer treasuries every year; leading to higher borrowing costs on leveraged economies globally as money is sucked into the US, to fund the spending they also cant afford.

Even the global demographics look bleak given the amount of debt we've taken on, and people are still living in an MMT fantasyland as they roll over their mortgages from 2% to 6%.

I'm happy with doing so just so I can see comments without signing in again. I do believe social media was geting too highly censored, and I dont trust the government to decide what to censor.

But you cant call yourself the "town square of the internet" while hiding things from people you cant monetize.
