If money is information and it is manipulated, then “misinformation” is whatever those most empowered by the manipulation of money determine it is.

So dystopian how this word is used by the politicos 😮💨
Insane.
Everything is skewed at best, and heavily corrupted at worst. 😵💫
And so many people have no idea. They're just so trapped and beaten down by the "distortion" effects. Struggling to survive.
Bitcoin is a liferaft that can lead to healing humanity. The idea of a healthy "oneness" is real!
The fall in trust of institutions has been the result of activists and manipulated twisting of consensus understandings. In just the past decade we have risen (or fallen?) to asking "what is money?", "what is a woman?", and now "what is government?". Each of those nouns have been perverted beyond what Miriam-webster had then defined them respectively as via consensus of the population by those who wield financial, social, and organizational power for their own gains.

Nicely put. Love how you give such clarity to how things are 👍
Based.
Well said. 🙂
If information is manipulated, it's propaganda, not information.
The real tragedy is that the manipulation is in plain sight, and people are conditioned to believe it is normal, it is needed, and it helps them.

Agreed I wrote this about it.
That’s an interesting take! It highlights how control over money—and information—can shape narratives. The power to manipulate either can influence perceptions of truth. It raises a deeper question about transparency and who gets to define "misinformation" in a system where power dynamics control key resources like currency and information.

Jeff, I feel so stupid for not knowing how to include you as someone I'd like to see my posts. (very new to Nostr)
I recently watched a YouTube video with a woman and you (half of her head was shaved, for reference), and I wanted you to see my posts related to meditation after watching that.
