I wouldn't put it that way. I think women were created to be nurturing, to err on the side of compassion (where men can err on the side of Justice/retribution). I believe this is a good quality, but that the devil used it against her. It is a good quality that, when abused, makes her somewhat more susceptible to deception and manipulation. Any current or former womanizer would probably confirm this. (A young woman with 'Daddy issues' can be spotted a mile away.)
It's also why Adam is all the more at fault: he stood by and let his wife be manipulated, saying nothing. He should have crushed the serpent under his foot, or at least driven it out of the garden. Buck stops with "him," almost always. In his defense (and somewhat jokingly), she was the first naked woman he ever saw so I doubt he was thinking clearly...
We've been blaming other people for our sins since the very beginning:
Adam: "It wasn't my fault, it was the woman--that YOU gave me!"
Woman: "It wasn't my fault, it was the Serpent's!"

I have grown very accustomed to swipe-to-type... anything like that available for grapheneOS?
This is true and it sudo made me laugh. Thanks 😄
I will say again, if you read Rothbard (which is FREE ONLINE), you'll be more knowledgeable than 97% of PhD level "economists" in the West today. This goes for not only economics proper but also for economic history.
And he's FUN.
READ. ROTHBARD.

To tag on just a bit, both socialists and ancap libertarians see the same problem of State-Corporate collusion. The former seek to solve it by eliminating corporations (private property) and the latter seek to solve it by eliminating the State. The difference is that the ancaps have an economic philosophy that is actually workable, and the socialists do not.
See especially the last chapter on how fiat not only enables war also but aids the overall process of de-civilization...so good.
Have you read Denson, The Cost of War? Fantastic, and free online at Mises.
'twas always thus. Monetary debasement.
You went full fiat?
Everyone knows you NEVER go full fiat.
Whether they did or didn't, the main reason they do it whenever they do is to fund war. The timing of the 1913 Federal Reserve Act is, therefore, incredibly suspicious.
No, before the USD became the world reserve currency at Bretton Woods, England was already running a pound sterling exchange system. In fact, it was because our central banks colluded to restore the pound to its pre war parity that the U.S. suffered the roaring twenties followed by the Great Depression. Blame Norman Montagu and Benjamin Strong for that.
Check out Rothbard's America's Great Depression, and his History of Money and Banking for all the juicy details. Also helpful are his The Mystery of Banking, and his The Progressive Era.

That said - there were periods of inflationary credit expansion before 1913, e.g., in the War Between the States (a.k.a. "Civil War"). And I'm pretty sure the Southern Conferdates currency was fiat but not certain on that.
Not quite. 1913 was when the banks were cartelized under the federal reserve. They slowly began to centralize a major aspect id the free market system with its.price discovery miracle--that is, interest rates. And the money supply. Holding gold privately was outlawed some 20 years later under FDR, but the "federal reserve notes" were still backed by gold to some degree. Then came Bretton Woods after WWII, when we went to the gold-exchange system. Fast forward to 15 Aug 1971 when the U.S.A. went bankrupt under Nixon and weve been full fiat ever since. And, as everyone knows, "you never go full [fiat]."
Well, OK, but there is a clear intellectual ancestry from "wokism" back to Marx, and to Hegel before him, and especially to the gnosticism that drove them both. Check out Voegelin, del Noce, Lindsay.
100% agree. We have not had free-market capitalism for a very long time--1913 at the latest. What we have is Corporatism (or that annoying term 'crony capitalism'), perhaps even a form of Neo-Feudalism perpetuated by the Int'l banks and their slave fiat system.
I didn't get anything of the above from Peterson, for whatever that's worth, but from study of primary sources and derivative materials. Perhaps you would prefer the term Neo-Marxism?
