I was talking with an Indian colleague today. He asked if the US has an 'official' digital currency. He knows I'm a hardcore maxi. He remarked about the Indian digital ruppee and that time in 2016 when India declared a whole pile of banknotes to be worthless. I said and what do you think they will do when they get everyone locked into that platform and inflation runs hot...? Or when you have expended your carbon consumption allotment? Or when you try to buy some candy and they say no sorry your too fat that purchase isn't authorized. Silence..... Blinks.... "Pandu let us buy some Bitcoin!!!!"

I’ll tell you what I think about the way This city treats her soundest men today: By a coincidence more sad than funny, It’s very like the way we treat our money. The noble silver drachma, which of old We were so proud of, and the one of gold, Coins that rang true (clean-stamped and worth their weight) Throughout the world have ceased to circulate. Instead the purses of Athenian shoppers Are full of phoney silver-plated coppers. Just so, when men are needed by the nation, The best have been withdrawn from circulation.

Fighting other hostile groups is older than homo sapiens. While the idea might not sit well with you, its deeply engrained in our nature and history. Groups that developed techniques which allowed the women to fight alongside the men had a much higher survival rate and dominated those that didn't. You see this with things like the bow and arrow and other ranged weapons. Either women learned how to use them or the neighboring tribe that did overran you. Recognize that for 99% of women today this is irrelevant because they can outsource security through taxes and democracy. Which is fine as long as law and order persists. For me and my tribe, anyone can wash the dishes just like anyone can put rounds on target.

"Thus was the history of France logically developed in obedience to natural laws; such has, to a greater or less degree, always been the result of irredeemable paper, created according to the whim or interest of legislative assemblies rather than based upon standards of value permanent in their nature and agreed upon throughout the entire world. Such, we may fairly expect, will always be the result of them until the fiat of the Almighty shall evolve laws in the universe radically different from those which at present obtain." - Andrew Dickson White Fiat Money Inflation in France.
