The capitalist marketplace seems to have always been extremely
gimmicky, but has anyone noticed as of late a massive increase
in how gimmick driven it is becoming? It's just one gimmick
after another, especially when it comes to the internet.
I'll make a prediction here as well, because most techies are
not social people they do not understand socializing, I'm sure
we've all heard the jokes about people in a company having to
deal with the IT Technician? My prediction is that the Metaverse
will go the same exact way as 3D T.V.'s. Just more clown shit
produced by clowns who don't actually understand what real
people want. I mean, people are already sick and tired of social
media, and it's literally making people sick, so what do these
clowns come up with next, social media 2.0 were we must actually
put on a headset to interact with. Are these techies effing
serious, this is all they can come up with, just another
unnecessary gimmick no one really wants or needs? I wish they
would all just fucken die already and save the rest of us some
sanity!

To Stop Trumpism, Biden Must Pass This Test | MSNBC
--- Quote ---
> In 2022, Joe Biden is confronting a challenge that can define
a presidency -- record-breaking inflation. As prices reach their
highest point in 40 years, Biden's agenda must adjust to this
challenge. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on this particular
pandemic price surge, its unequal impact, and some of the deeper
systemic issues in American capitalism and stagnant wages. The
report also features examples from history, the views of current
Americans going through these challenges, and "Fat Joe's Guide
to Inflation."

This is How Easy It Is to Lie With Statistics

description and interpretation—subtle in the sense that even
experienced professionals make such errors, and serious in the

statistics.

statistical skills (and skepticism) that people need to deal
with information in their everyday lives properly is referred to

By the way, could not help but wonder the other night how many
of these CEO's behind some of the biggest data collecting
companies were actually ready to set their data-centers on fire
had the coup attempt on Jan. 6th been successful? Or, were they
just going to hand all of their data over to the
insurrectionists? How many of these CEO's actually think in
advance about topics of this nature? Yet, many Western business
people continue to believe in the false premise that the
business of corporations is the same as the business of a state.
Do they not realize that states have a monopoly on violence
first of all, whereas their corporations do not? What do they
think insurrectionists would have done with all of their data
and their newly founded monopoly on state violence?

I'm getting a slight anti-cryptocurrency vibe just scrolling
briefly through here. That's a complicated subject I am not
fully decided on.
My understanding of cryptocurrencies is that they are supposed
to be un-inflatable as the currencies themselves have a known,
unchangeable rarity*. This makes them analagous to gold. Adding
to this analogy, Bitcoin is expensive and inconvenient to
transfer for small payments (like gold) so there exist "Layer 2"
cryptocurrencies: easier to exchange and representing a value in
larger cryptocurrencies like BTC - analagous to a gold standard
as an alternative to Fiat.
Other cryptocurrencies such as Monero improve upon the
technology that was used to create Bitcoin to eliminate the need
for layer-2s, simplifying business further.
Bitcoin is stupid, unusable and basically just a way to possibly
get rich from other people falling for it. Cryptocurrencies as a
whole probably shouldn't be dismissed outright. They're not
ideal since the work used to generate them is non-productive,
but this is better than the current system, right?
We're all familiar with the environmental damage done by Bitcoin
miners, but some cryptocurrencies such as Chia attempt to work
around this by avoiding using Proof Of (non-productive) Work in
the first place, instead relying on time and dedicated computer
space.
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chia_(cryptocurrency)
Do be aware that Chia was developed by Bram Cohen (need I say
it?).
*: Of course new coins are mined+introduced, but with a set
limit and "difficulty". Or, in the case of some
cryptocurrencies, there is no limit but this is known by
everyone using the currency. More cannot be magicked into
existence when it is convenient.

Well, for what it's worth I know Callum himself, the narrator to
one of the videos in regards to Cryptoland in the previous
posts, is invested in cryptocurrencies himself, which he states
in one of the videos where he bashes Cryptoland....
As for myself, this just all seems like a waste of time and
effort considering cryptocurrencies, if used as a guard against
inflation as you stated, wouldn't even be necessary in a
National Socialist state that was using labor-backed currency in
the first place. You cannot inflate labor-backed currency
either.
Through my eyes people like cryptocurrencies simply because they
do not have an accurate reading of history, atleast those who
are using crypto as a hedge against inflation. And lastly, as
far as I can tell, NO crypto currency is speculation proof!?
Infact, could it not be argued that all cryptocurrencies are
purely based off of speculation?
--- Quote ---
> What should be made clear is that under a labour-backed
currency production model all banking – in both central and
commercial capacities – is managed wholly by the state as a
non-profit organisation for the safeguarding of the individual
citizen’s monetary reserves, the provision of interest-free
loans and the regulation of the national money supply. All costs
regarding a given government-funded project are calculated –
namely essential building materials and required human labour –
and prices for the purchasing of needed materials and workers
are rationalised by the government (i.e. the state dictates the
value of certain materials, goods and labour). The entire focus
of the labour-backed fiscal model is to base a given currency,
unique to a single nation, on the ability of the central
government of that one nation to mobilise its manpower and
material resources for the production and maintenance of
essential infrastructures and services.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> What should be remembered from all this is that the money
supply can only be expanded at the behest of the government’s
ability to provide jobs to those who do not own a business or
work within the private sector. The private sector will only
ever be able to utilise money that the public sector produced.
Where private enterprise fails to generate jobs, the government
takes over. This guarantees that a significant degree of a
nation’s labour pool remains in government hands for the
maintenance of public welfare and not for achieving the private
interests of a wealth-laden elite. A currency bound to this
system also becomes inflation-proof.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Because money creation is relevant to government efficiency in
hiring the citizens of a nation to play a pivotal role in
maintaining and building-up the existence of their state, a
given currency based on this model is freed from the hostile
control of international finance which insists that the currency
of one (x) nation is inferior to currency of another (y) nation
– either because X has less gold reserves (as if people can eat
or build houses out of gold) or simply because an established
power group simply says that X’s money is of less value (this
representing the so-called ‘modern’ system of ‘floating’
currencies) – and that the former is destined to be economically
exploited by the latter. It should be noted that the existence
of metal-based (historical) and debt-based (current) currencies
in the Western civilisational tradition have only served to
demonstrate how selfishly-orientated international banking
interests (and the multi-national, multi-faceted corporations
that collude with these interests) can hold entire populations
hostage in what has become an inherently rigged, global
resource-grabbing game.

How 'Gamification' of Everything Is Manipulating You (and How to
Recognize It)
--- Quote ---
> Companies are using gamification to manipulate you. Here's how
to see it and fight against it.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> “Gamification” is the practice of adding game-like elements to
non-game contexts. It isn’t new, nor it is always a negative,
but it is being aimed at consumers and employees more and more
frequently, whether to keep you addicted to an app, motivated at
work, or inclined to spend your money on something.
>
> If you’re going to be forced to play different games (even
when they don’t look like games)—and you are, right now—you
should at least recognize how you’re being played, and try to
learn the rules. Because knowing the rules is the first step to
bending them to your advantage.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> When does gamification become manipulation?
>
> There’s nothing wrong with gamifying our lives. We do it all
the time, like when we promise ourselves a reward for cleaning
the garage, or work out extra hard to get a little higher on
Strava’s leaderboards. But marketers, salespeople, and employers
can involve us in games we don’t even know we’re playing: games
where the rules aren’t clear, the playing field isn’t level, and
there’s often no way we can quit.

Why would you ever believe putting students into debt is a good
idea in the first place unless you're an absolute fool who
doesn't really care much about anything important at all? (Oh
wait, we're surrounded by these types of fools, especially in
the West, never-mind!).
Why Student Debt Is So Hard to Forgive
--- Quote ---
> Americans are currently burdened with about 1.57 trillion
dollars of student debt, and that number is climbing rapidly.
For many, a lifetime of debt has become the painful reality of
life in the United States. Why? What happened to make this
country, and this economic system, so addicted to debt?
