Saif uses lots anecdotes to exemplify the failures of fiat. I agree, Saif is writing from an extremely biased perspective. It is bullshit. However, your passion about the subject inspired me to offer my thoughts.

In the past many poor people were farmers. I think this was due to the fact that one could build living capital while they worked to feed themselves. I'm willing to bet that more often than not this food was high quality. Fiat incentives and subsidies have eroded the value of living capital, removing the ability for poor people to live subsistence lifestyles by farming.

I think that by using permaculture more high quality calories can be grown per acre than are currently being produced. Look to the work of Mark Shepard and Peter Allen for more thorough information on how this is possible.

As fiat crumbles and bitcoin rises, subsistence lifestyles of farming producing more calories per acre than ever before will become much more prevalent than is the case today in my opinion. High quality food will be available locally, more people will be growing their own food again too.

My food forest plus rabbit colony cannabis garden uses about 1/10 acre. This system is still establishing and is far from peak production, but it still produces hundreds of pounds of food per year, about 150lbs of it is rabbit meat. Anyone with some sort of lawn can produce a significant supplement to their diet, I am confident in that.

One more thing about the past.

This is world population in billions.

I agree with the past but now it's a different world, we are 8 billion, same land. The difference is astonishing.

I always enjoy your notes.

Sounds a bit bad, but we have to add, that in the past, not everyone's life could be saved. So only those who were capable, could survive. So more of the population could work, and self-sustain. Now that we save many more people, we don't have that many more people to work, but we have many more people to take care.

Thanks for pointing out the population problem. This consideration leads to more interning thoughts.

If we can feed the world today with less people farming than before. We can grow more food per acre (which will be higher quality) with permaculture, and not to mention that more land will be utilized for food production. There should be no problem feeding the world.

It's not a problem of food production in my opinion but more a problem of population density or population distribution. While the industrial revolution might be the start of these population densities, fiat has subsidized thier continuity long after their sustainable growth limits. Permaculture, and Bitcoin will make a decentralized world (again? More than ever before?).
