Bitcoin and gypsies and Schiff
I've been noticing a pattern lately. People who work with INTANGIBLES like stocks and shares and other frauds ALWAYS believe in Gaia, and ALWAYS go along with EPA nonsense about toxins. They also go along with obvious nonsense like Bitcoin and MMT.
Even the alleged "skeptics" and "leftists" who OUGHT to see the connections between Gaia and Goldman are still Gaians. They are properly suspicious of everything the banks do, EXCEPT for Gaia.
People who work with TANGIBLES, people who make or repair or sell THINGS, are much less likely to go along with these particular frauds.
An illuminating remark from Peter Schiff in the latest QTR podcast:
CNBC invites people who are involved in selling Bitcoin and treats them as 'crypto experts'.
The real crypto experts are the people who chose NOT to invest in Bitcoin. Those are the people who understand how crypto works.
Simple point, but never stated before. Conventional and unexamined wisdom, constantly pushed by the tech monsters, says that understanding how a thing works makes you more likely to use it.
Schiff's point is one step back from conventional. He says that understanding a thing makes you more likely to KNOW WHETHER TO USE IT.
Applied to Gaia: Conventional wisdom tells us that scientific literacy makes you more likely to believe in Gaia. Not true. In fact a solid understanding of science gives you a basis to DECIDE WHETHER A THEORY IS TRUE. The CO2 theory is demonstrably false by all the rules of real science.
Applied to Die-Versity: Die-Versitarians tell us that familiarity with The Other makes you more friendly toward The Other. Not true. In fact familiarity with one specific group gives you a basis to DECIDE WHETHER TO ASSOCIATE with that group.
