“We can stop bemoaning the degeneracy of the youth and accept that they are simply a reflection of our elders’ prevailing moral character.” 👀
Too blunt?
It’s kind of the entire purpose of civilization, passing on values.

We are trying to alert people to the fact that we are going to run off the edge of a cliff, by saying we aren’t running.
That’s the confusing thing about using “broken,” a morally neutral term, morally.
Yes, we won’t be running when we splat at the bottom, but we wont be a “we” then either.
Pulling on that thread a bit, we ask what property does money fail to satisfy?
I see fulfillment of all formal properties.
It’s more like “working” means righteous or just and “broken” means wrong or unjust.
Does a tool possess the power to be the means to its end?
working and broken point at the relation between a means and an end. (amoral)
good and evil point at the relation between ends. (moral)
Relationality disambiguates the overlapping meanings.
Funny, the relation, the ration, the / , draws the line. the line between two things
I think “broken” is an attempt to point out that our monetary system is not right, it’s wrong, it’s contrary to natural law, it’s evil, without saying so.
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
If money is broken, then it’s not moral.
Money is moral.
Therefore, money is not broken.
Veterans day hits harder knowing what I know now about our monetary system.
Debasement doesn’t just hurt you today.
Nor your children’s future.
Nor spit on the graves of those who spilled their blood for our country.
We continually ask young men and women to stand up and answer the bell, to fight for freedom and ensure justice for all.
I answered. I stood. I fought.
for what?
As long as we print money, I have a really hard time justifying the nation asking that of anyone.
If you care about those who serve, start talking about debasement. Start asking how in the hell we just nodded along as those in power decided they couldn’t print money, debasing our very humanity.
If we don’t talk, our representatives have no opportunity to listen.
Given them the chance, and take note of their actions.
Enough.
The buck stops here.
Your taxes do not fund the government.
Taxes are like a prop steering wheel in a fully automated, self-driving car.
Makes the experience feel familiar.
wack your head on the ice.
that makes u pay attention
wow
As crazy as it sounds, hip mobility is probably the craziest rabbit hole I’ve ever jumped down.
The most alice in wonderland experience I could have ever imagined.
When it comes to 🔥, no one knows it better than @HODL
So I must ask, how much 🔥 is my speech?
If you are waiting for other people’s approval to build, you don’t want to build, just an excuse to sit on your hands.
Fiat incentivizes our nation’s people to stop acting like “ancestors” and live only as “consumers”
That’s why our culture is dead.
