Wanting to burn down the system, is, in fact, high-time-preference fiat behavior.

I just want to exit the system before the inevitable collapse.

Come out from among her My people…

I think that sentiment is popular among libertarians because they often lack the temperament and mentality to build and exercise power. Having the patience to long-march the bureaucracies is what marxists have which is why they run things. Better goal: run the system and reform (even by controlled demo) the system.

It’s human. It’s a healthy reaction to feeling prolonged disgust.

Luckily, the antidote to disgust is trust. Indeed, a slow-time endeavor. Tic toc

Our only focus should be to build alternative solutions and just get through it. https://www.epsilontheory.com/this-is-the-great-ravine/

Or play the debt game to acquire sats comrade

Which system? The fiat system, aka the debt slavery alternative to civilization?

A comment truly from a toxic bitcoiner….

agree

Analysis too simplistic. Time preference is a gradiant and no ends can be "high time preference," only means. If the goal is to not have current systems the means could be several actions falling on the time preference spectrum. They also have various levels of efficacy. literally "burning down the system" is not only ineffective but also high timeprefence to the ends of emotional satisfaction, assuming success. Reducing the system to irrelevance by creating and using a superior system "burns the system down" metaphorically but is vastly more efficacious and directly accomplishes the ends.

This one cuts deep. 😅

Why do you think that?

Correct, it’s pointless unless you have billions and even then they punish you.
