Reeee-taaar-deeeed. Imagine being an _economist_ (i.e., someone who studies markets) and thinking there should be LESS MARKET and MORE STATE around. Christ, our civilization went to hell in a handbasket.

Ein Berufsstand mit Linksdrall: In der Ökonomie wächst die Staatsgläubigkeit

Knapp 400 Ökonomen fordern ein neues Paradigma für ihre Disziplin. Sie setzen auf mehr Staat und weniger Markt. Woher das Geld für die grosse ...

My fellow AIER contributor Michael Peterson wrote a thoughtful piece about youngsters (Gen Z) taking financial responsibility and tighten their belt.

Gen Z's Financial Nihilism | The Daily Economy

While that's usually decent advice for anyone, at any time, it's particularly unsuited for young people today. Your generation didn't create this mess and has a total of zero reasons to fix it. You, from your pittance of incomes, eking out a microscopic surplus after servicing your student debts and outrages taxes will contribute a sum total of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to the fiscal and monetary mess that is America -- and by extension the Western world. Your countries' Ponzi schemes will break _long_ before you'll see a cent of the many dollars you'll have contributed over your time. Your countries' corrupt and dysfunctional health care systems will be abandoned _long_ before you'll start to receive any meaningful care in old age. Your countries' Treasuries will bankrupt themselves before you see much of that "welfare" money or rent-seeking pork inherent in the classic old Bastiat quote ("The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else"). Why contribute? Just stop. Yes, I'm calling for you to exit. There's no stopping this train -- why cling on for dear life and and at great effort to yourself pull the emergency breaks? Nah, screw it. Fuck what the fiat world did, fuck what #Clownworld ruined. Live free OUTSIDE their world. Do absolutely everything in your power to withdraw resources from the legacy, broken system (attention, medicare, pension plans, income taxes) & leverage everything you can into the future. Learn a trade you can sell for freedom money or to neighbors and friends for cash; grow crops. Get private/community off-the-books solutions, minimize your income, work for #bitcoin and don't tell anyone about it. Just leave, in every which way you can, and watch Clown World implode upon itself. Nihilism, financial or otherwise, it's all you've reasonably got left. Embrace it. #econstr #plebchain #freedommoney #economics #optout #decentralizeeverything #generations #fiscal #America

"A more appropriate title for Jack Turban’s book would be _Free to Believe_ because gender identity only exists for those who believe in it, and claiming that scientific studies support its existence is gender pseudoscience."

Free to Be(lieve) in Gender Pseudoscience

Yup, that's what we had to do. First ocean swim of the year, in a secluded fjord with nobody around. Did I sun my balls? Yes, yessss I did. #nature #iceland #villagelife #remote #sky #ocean #green #deepnorth #onestep

Pretty decent explanation of what happens when an old money loses ground to another. When the writing is on the wall, people trip over themselves to exit the depreciating currency (silver, fiat) in order to get their hands on the appreciating one (gold, #bitcoin). The fight in the 1870s was over veeeery fast. Worth thinking about. #econstr #reading #money #goldstandard #monetaryecon #transitions #gold
