music as cure for purposeless nihilism

I see it as decoupling factfinding with entertaining opinion about those facts. Once a system of shared fact verification based on reputation / trust networks allows us to be on the same page as to what is true, all that remains is to choose what virtual living rooms we sit in to discuss those facts or listen to others discussing them in an entertaining or enlightening way.

That too is corrected by a return to sound money. There will be no need for saying 'please give, it's needed' because giving will be understood by all to be needed. Low willingness is a function of relative poverty / scarcity mindset / zerosum blinders / acclimation to an archaic economic paradigm. Further, new tools will allow for the automatic background microtransfers that make valuable work more directly compensated by all who participate in the system. And, the micropayments being sound, savings of them will not be punished, making work today a more valuable proposition as our perspectives adapt to long-term strategies, rather than short term fears and gratification.

Time + Perspective Over time, the tools that increase our ability to easily and accurately filter information will improve, we'll soon forget what it was like to wade through duplicates and irrelevance. Meanwhile, our perspective toward information and our place in it will change. Micropayment sidegigs for sorting information, summarizing it, rearranging it, will be less about crafting crafty language and more about relevance and logic chains. Meanwhile, such modest revenue streams will be among many that the individual modern 'journalist' is able to secure, in addition to primary - and with a sound money system, it becomes a retirement plan rather than a way to make rent.

Lots of powerful forces at war with each other around the world for many years, varying degrees of infiltration -- what is otherwise unexplainable locally, may be that. Some have a dark sense of humor, it seems, and some driven by revenge.

Centralized monopolies on power / force function as capturable levers, and fiat is one. View quoted note →

View quoted note → Reasonable suggestion if it worked for you. Surprised this opinion was interpreted as an attempt to implement wholesale society wide revolution. Post is unviewable for me on some clients btw.
