Om du ifrågasätter digitala pengar som kan ha utgångsdatum, kan devalveras på sekunder, begränsas till godkända varor och stängas av med ett knapptryck: då står du på Putins och Xi Jinpings sida! Eller kanske inte? Idag skriver jag om falska dikotomier i Epoch Times.

Whenever economists, politicians, or bureaucrats claim market dynamics are causing the declining use of cash, remind them that what's happening is in accordance with a plan outlined by an IMF economist back in 2017 (see The Boiling Frog for this plan). View article → Economists have actually posited that a design criteria for a well-designed Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is to facilitate the phasing out of cash: They say "the digital euro will complement cash", but have designed it to make abolishing cash easier. Funny that!

Do you remember the Easter parade in New York City in 1929? Cigarettes were presented as symbols of liberation and equality. Women were paid to march in the parade while smoking "torches of freedom". Cigarette sales soared soon after. More info here ->

"Let's be clear: anyone who opposes the digital euro is opposing the euro and the European Union." Yes, the Chair of the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs just said this falsehood. This move was predicted almost four years ago:, by Adam Townsend: "You're against Americans having to use only digital money with an expiration date, that can be deflated instantaneously by central banks, can be restricted to buying only approved items and can be revoked with the press of a button? You must be pro Putin" #cbdc #eu #digitaleuro

New short piece out - about the risks of miscategorizing the brain. Ilya Sutskever, co-founder and former chief scientist at OpenAI, said recently that the human brain is nothing but a biological computer. He was completely certain of this. But is that really the case?
