# The Boomer Mirage - Joshua Stylman
**Source:** https://stylman.substack.com/p/the-boomer-mirage?triedRedirect=true
## Summary
- • The document analyzes a chart depicting the decline in marriage and homeownership rates among 30-year-olds from over 50% in 1950 to an expected 13% by 2025, attributing this trend to systemic economic changes rather than cultural shifts.
- • It argues that the economic foundation for family formation has eroded, leading to the breakdown of the social contract and the transformation of adulthood from a starting point into an ongoing struggle.
- • The post–World War II economic boom was based on unsustainable conditions, including cheap energy and demographic advantages, which have since vanished, leaving subsequent generations facing economic challenges.
- • The housing market reflects this decline, with data indicating more sellers than buyers as younger generations are priced out of homeownership.
- • Institutions once seen as stable have shifted to extraction models, causing foundational aspects of life—like family and ownership—to be commodified and priced out of reach.
- • The document highlights a transition from tangible assets for Boomers to digital assets for younger generations, emphasizing the trade-offs involving surveillance and control in modern financial systems.
- • It critiques the emergence of digital financial systems as a replacement for traditional ownership, warning of the potential for increased economic monitoring.
- • The author suggests that the collapse of the old system presents an opportunity to create a new structure based on truth and agency, rather than nostalgia for a bygone era.
- • The piece concludes with a call to recognize the paradigm shift and to build a new economic and social framework that prioritizes genuine sovereignty over manipulated participation.

# Why must we end the

**You** (18:49):
Why must we end the Fed
**AI Assistant** (18:49):
The case for ending the Federal Reserve (Fed) rests on several criticisms of its fundamental nature and role in the economy. Critics argue that the Fed cannot truly act independently of political influences and has never effectively restrained government spending, contrary to the belief that it can support responsible fiscal policy. Furthermore, the notion that the Fed can effectively plan and stabilize the economy is seen as misguided; its interventions often produce adverse consequences instead of the intended benefits. Ultimately, many believe that the Fed is inherently flawed and that its existence does not contribute positively to economic stability. Sources indicate that common criticisms—like calls for more independence or better management—are often misdirected since the fundamental issues persist. (Mises Institute).
**You** (18:51):
It does not make sense for a small cartel of banking executives to be the ones who set interest rates. Isn’t that a conflict of interest? Couldn’t we figure out some sort of marketplace for setting interest rates wouldn’t that be more fair?
**AI Assistant** (18:51):
The argument for ending the Federal Reserve often hinges on concerns regarding its structure, the perceived conflicts of interest, and the efficacy of its monetary policy mechanisms. Critics assert that allowing a small group of banking executives to set interest rates can lead to significant problems in economic fairness and stability.
### Criticisms of Centralized Interest Rate Setting
1. **Conflict of Interest**: Critics argue that having a centralized authority like the Fed, comprised mainly of banking professionals, creates a conflict of interest. This group may prioritize the interests of the banking sector over the broader economy. The mechanisms by which the Fed sets interest rates—primarily through its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)—can lead to policy decisions that benefit banks rather than the general public, including the potential for asset bubbles and economic imbalances (Mises Institute).
2. **Inefficiency of Central Planning**: There is a prevailing belief that the Fed can effectively manage economic fluctuations and steer the economy towards stability. However, critics maintain that this central planning approach is fundamentally flawed. The idea that the Fed can avoid "policy errors" and correctly time interest rate adjustments ignores the complex and often unpredictable nature of the economy. The argument posits that a market-driven approach to setting interest rates would be more effective, promoting fairness and potentially leading to better resource allocation (Mises Institute).
3. **Historical Record**: Advocates for ending the Fed often point to its historical inability to curb government spending or effectively manage economic crises, despite claims of independence. They argue that the Fed has not served as a check on government fiscal irresponsibility and has exhibited a consistent inability to stabilize the economy, leading to critiques that its interventions often exacerbate economic issues (Mises Institute; ZeroHedge).
4. **Alternative Models**: Proposals for a marketplace system for interest rate determination involve leveraging supply and demand dynamics instead of a centralized authority. A market-based approach might enable more organic adjustments in response to economic changes, reducing the risk of distortions caused by central bank intervention. Critics suggest that inviting market forces to set rates could lead to a more equitable system, aligned with individual economic behavior rather than the arbitrary decisions of a small group of policymakers (Mises Institute).
### Conclusion
The call to end the Federal Reserve stems from concerns about conflicts of interest associated with centralized interest rate setting, the inefficacy of its monetary policies, and a lack of accountability. Critics argue for a more decentralized approach that allows market mechanisms to dictate interest rates, potentially leading to a fairer and more resilient economic framework. As the debate continues, the central question remains whether such systemic changes could genuinely yield a more stable economic environment or whether they risk further complications without the oversight of a centralized authority.

# Doug Casey on the China Hysteria: Manufactured Threat or Inevitable Rival?
## Summary
- • Doug Casey discusses the historical context of fear toward China, tracing it back to the 1860s and exacerbated by events like the Korean War and Mao's ideology.
- • The perception of China's prosperity as a threat is misguided; the real issue lies in the U.S. government's approach to China amidst its own decline.
- • Current U.S. policies, including sanctions and military provocations, are counterproductive and may lead to conflict.
- • China has transformed from a poverty-stricken nation to a global power due to the shift from communism to a form of state capitalism initiated by Deng Xiaoping.
- • Despite China's advancements, its future growth is uncertain due to shifts in government policy and cultural changes.
- • China is not an existential threat; its military developments do not imply intentions of aggression against the U.S. or nuclear conflict.
- • The U.S. government is increasingly bankrupt, relying on military spending while falling behind in science and technology.
- • Both major political parties in the U.S. utilize external threats like China as distractions from internal issues, demonstrating a lack of moral core.
- • The narrative around China parallels past fears of Japan, highlighting a tendency to scapegoat other nations instead of addressing domestic economic issues.
- • The U.S. has become a multicultural empire with military bases worldwide, leading to a loss of respect from other nations, despite ongoing fear of American power.
- • The impending decline of the U.S. dollar and economic instability is more critical than the perceived threat from China.
