Yesterday I explained #bitcoin to my friend's sister without using the word bitcoin. She led the occasion on by stating that inequality is a burden in this world too long. I ended by saying: "The exact monetary properties I just described to you already exist." It connected hard.

Crime percentages are a direct cause of interest rates and inflation. Negative real rates are driving people to criminal behavior just in order to survive.

I'll see if I can find proof for this. But in the meantime stop and think about the plausibility behind this relation between negative real rates and crime.

Thank you for not compromising your principle values and for being vocal about it.

Saul D. Alinsky's rules for radicals:

1 "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."

2 "Never go outside the expertise of your people."

3 "Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."

4 "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

5 "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

6 "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."

7 "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."

8 "Keep the pressure on."

9 "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."

10 "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."

11 "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."

12 "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."

13 "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

Good point. Halfway through I diverted from human action to other books on Austrian school of economics. I was not ready to dive in Mises' crown piece without any knowledge about praxeology. I'll come back to human action after I finish a few more other titles.

I thought the fourth turning was a collection of badly put together anecdotes. No evidence based train of thought. I will not read anything by Howe again. I can recommend 20 other books
