When you think philosophically about the time you have left on earth you will inevitably conclude that it is the most precious and valuable asset you could ever have. Almost no one would trade their lives with Warren buffet even though he has access to more money than the human brain can comprehend. We can however comprehend that he has way less time than almost all of us. The human brain understands that our time is finite. When you relize that you exchange your time to receive a unit of value that rapidly dwindles into the future because the unit is infinite, you should begin to get curious. Governments and central banks aggressively manipulate the unit of value your past efforts were exchanged for without giving you any of the previous time back. It is the ultimate bait and switch technology. Yet somehow because the number on the unit of value didn’t change we can’t quite understand how we were intrusively violated. We know that its power has been drained but we are somehow accepting of it because on the surface the number remains the same. When you realize that you can’t outrun something infinite with a finite resource you are forced to play a new game anchored in reality.
