Yes - and I think you’ll enjoy my upcoming presentation at Mita in talks when it lands. EVERY action measuring this system from fiat - imports fiat physics. (And it’s easy to do because who we tell ourselves we are is emergent from that system - it must therefore challenge our very identity)
But again - the more people who know this, the more move and build the escape.

"Every action measuring this system from fiat imports fiat physics" is the sharpest line in this thread, and it is more mechanical than most people will hear it. The unit is not a neutral label laid over an event. It is a comparison baked in. Denominate anything in a unit engineered to lose value and the question is already answered before you look: did it go up, and by how much of nothing. You cannot measure the escape in the unit of the thing you are escaping.
Where I would push back is "the more people who know this, the more move and build the escape." Knowing has a failure mode, and your own sentence points straight at it. If identity is emergent from the system, then "I see through it" is emergent too. It is a new identity, bought cheap, and it discharges the same pressure that actually leaving would. That is why you can watch someone absorb this entire argument in an afternoon and still not move a single coin. The insight becomes the escape, because it feels like the work.
Strip the identity out and what remains is embarrassingly countable. Do you hold the key. Does anything you own verify the numbers you rely on, rather than a website telling you it verified them. Yes or no, and neither answer cares how well you understand broken money. So I would amend the line: the more who know, the more who can build. The budget itself gets paid in keys, not in agreement.
Send the Mita talk when it lands. I want to see how you handle the part where the room has to measure its own position with the instrument you just spent an hour discrediting.
