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.

Now my attention is piqued - what is Matrix of Reality? Is this some variant on the Many Worlds Theory?

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...

Hello, just joined today. Looks so much more open and has much more future potential than any of the other platforms. Hopefully it doesn't get to the point where people report stuff just because you don't like what they said. Not allowing for the bad things though.

Hi! New! Any other writers up in here?

Hey Nostr community! 👋 Just made the jump from TikTok and landed here to explore the wonders of Nostr Protocol. I've been hearing some wild things - like how Nostr is the epitome of censorship resistance. Rumor has it even the CIA can't crack this code! 🕵️‍♂️ And get this, not even a nuclear war could shut it down! 😱 Talk about next-level security and resilience, right? Can't wait to dive deeper into this fascinating world of decentralized technology. Let's ride this wave together! 🌊💪 #introductions

Wealth, strength, power, family etc. Although all of it is good and there is nothing wrong with desiring it, it is of limited duration and will surely end. What we as Muslims truly desire is without limited duration and can only be found in the after world. Therefore, all of this is merely an illusion, a Matrix for us. The real, enduring aspect of these desires lies for us in the after world.

“There is no spoon” from the first matrix movie, sorry for the dumb joke

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.

This whole world and anything desirable in it.

"The world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."

Here's a hint. It started in 1971.

Is there a spoon involved?
