"The world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."
Here's a hint. It started in 1971.

What are the top 2 things that happened in 1971 that caused Matrix?
1) US debt default
2) Fiat, a socialist currency, replaced gold, the money with that Invisible hand Adam Smith talked about.
We are tricked into believing we still live in a capatalist society. That's "The Matrix," in a nutshell.
Do the people of the USA understand what happened to them in 1971?
How the one country trapped whole world in their issues and debt defaults?
Most prople I talk to still think the dollar is backed by gold.
Ignorance about money is so pervasive, while money is such a foundational technology, that it seems almost impossible to attribute it to mere happenstance...
This is deep thought.
Only 2-3% of the crowd understands the money and its foundation.
What do you what should we do to raise the IQ of our people regarding money and politics?
IMO 2% is very optimistic, maybe 1 person in 10,000 really understands deeply?
I think it's good to try to educate as many people as we can, but honestly I'm not optimistic about making fundamental changes that way. Most people don't use reason to support their beliefs, they just adopt an ideological package of beliefs based on emotions.
Instead I think the most optimistic path is simply to adopt and support better solutions ourselves as people who understand. Then when people see us thriving, they will emotionally adopt the ideology we package for them.
99% of people won't adopt a sound money concept because we explain economics to them, but if they see Bitcoin go to $100,000 or $1,000,000 while their fiat money buys less every day and all their government provided welfare programs fail and public infrastructure collapses, they'll be open to a "sound money is better" ideology.
As far as politics, I don't put any confidence in it whatsoever. Until the money is fixed, there are no political solutions, only political problems.
