Hi Neal.

Sorry for the late reply.

It's not obtuse, clumsy language.

The money is broken.

Throughout history the money kept improving (getting harder)

After breaking our trust and "momentarily" going off the gold standard, they "broke" the cycle of the evolution of money. Which in turn also "broke" the incentives to do good and to provide value and replaced it with fiat incentives.

Every money Throughout history has been "broken" because it never functioned how money should function.

I could see your point in how fiat isn't "broken" because it perfectly works for controlling the masses, but that kind of money is only not "broken" for those close to the money printer. For more than 90% of the population the money is "broken"

And if you really think using more sophisticated language and using complex words will help cutting through to the normal people, I think you will surely be negatively surprised..

we are just thinking about money at different levels

i do not want more complicated words.

maybe clumsy was the wrong choice of words.

economics is a rake

philosophy is a shovel

when we orange pill, we are asking people to dig.

I’m writing my book to give a back-hoe to the masses.

I love Lyn’s book, im not taking anything away from her work, she does a great job raking leafs, but she is not a philosopher, and it pains my heart seeing people work really hard with the wrong tool for the job.

i appreciate the conversation.

i actually went back to acouple parts of my book to over emphasize these points because they are so important.

🫡 thx again for pushing on our ideas with me. it’s great exercise

Yes, that's true. We all think on different levels about money.

We're all different people with different paths in life, wearing different glasses in how we view the world.

(Which is something that makes humans beautiful)

Maybe we both are using the wrong choices of words, because language is an incomplete form of communication.

(English is also not my first language 😅)

We indeed do ask people to dig when we try to orange pill them, but I feel we really need to dumb it down for the masses, because most things economics, philosophy and money is just too foreign or just too alien for them to understand..

I'm glad you had some value from our conversation and I wanted to ask if you're familiar with philosophy in anime?

And I'm also curious about your book now 😁
