Bitcoin is a "shadow" monetary tool. Right now, it helps [the government] by serving as a [volatility] buffer for the middle class so money devaluation flows into a purely speculative asset and less into home prices or other goods. Explains lack of regulation, which will come concurrently w/inflation.

build something that benefits society as a whole.

the government needs to nudge the private sector to invest in the country's future.

people are stealing pie from one another using debt instead of concentrating on growing the pie and investing in new technologies.

Restructuring the labor pool’s debts doesn’t generally break the system. It just causes minor recessions.

As long as food prices are low, that means capital will lend money to labor until they can’t pay the interest.

The labor pool will barely question housing inflation if food prices remain low.

As long as food prices remain low, that means that the labor pool will not ask questions about how the system works.

As long as food prices remain low, financial assets will likely rise.

The real players know that they have an advantage if they can survive forever.

Free markets and competition lead to innovation. Innovation leads to progress. Progress leads to returns. Returns lead to more investment. The circle of life for financial markets. This is the way. But the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Civilizations advance through the accumulation of highly configured capital, which does not thrive amid extreme volatility and destruction; on the contrary, capitalism wants stability — but also the free competitive transferral of resources

The whole of economics can be reduced to a single lesson, and that lesson can be reduced to a single sentence: The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy.

No one should expect that any logical argument or any experience could shake the almost religious fervor of those who believe in salvation through spending and credit expansion.

Corrupt

wolf in sheep's clothing in wolf's clothing

There is a potential within you (some of that magic so evident in childhood) that will emerge when circumstances demand and transform you—God willing—into someone who can prevail.

China, India, and the European Union are corrupt.

Even if you are called by God Himself to venture out into the world, as Abraham was, life is going to be exceptionally difficult.

You must sacrifice something of your manifold potential in exchange for something real in life.

Why Retirement for Millennials Will be Problematic

Pan’s hypothetical lack of fear of death is not courage, but the manifestation of his basically suicidal nature, the sickness of life (which he is constantly manifesting by his very refusal to mature).

Hamartia was originally an archery term, and it meant to miss the mark or target

By taking responsibility, we can find a meaningful path, improve our personal lot psychologically, and make what is intolerably wrong genuinely better. Thus, we can have our cake and eat it, too.

People need meaning, but problems also need solving.

I think that is the secret to the reason for Being itself: difficult is necessary.

It is a strange and paradoxical fact that there is a reciprocal relationship between the worth of something and the difficulty of accomplishing it

You could start by confronting a dragon of just the size that you are likely to defeat.

You could start by trying to solve a small problem—something that is bothering you, that you think you could fix

learn more about the business—or your competitors—than you already know.

Work, when you are working, instead of looking like you are working.

Organize what you can see is dangerously disorganized.

“The self that goes on changing is the self that goes on living.” – Virginia Woolf

if you want to become invaluable in a workplace--in any community--just do the useful things no one else is doing

notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated

we want to know what happened but, more importantly, we want to know why. why is wisdom. why enables us to avoid making the same mistake again and again, and if we are fortunate helps us repeat our successes

best to find out what is true--best to disperse the fog--and find out if the sharp objects you feared were lurking there are real or fantastical

you cannot hit a target that you refuse to see

events in general and interpersonal events specifically do not exist as simple, objective facts, independent of one another

failing to look under the bed when you strongly suspect a monster is lurking there is not an advisable strategy

to claim one belief and then to act (or speak) in a different or even opposite manner constitutes a performative contradiction, according to certain modern philosophers: an implicit lie

bloody right the world is dangerous

everyone requires a story to structure their perceptions and actions in what would otherwise be the overwhelming chaos of being

you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free

It is easier and more direct to represent a behavioral pattern with behavior than with words.

she can act out more than she can say--just as we all can

the greatest predator, the greatest snake, is the evil that lurks within

the danger must be hunted down and destroyed

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

"COMMIT YOURSELF TO THE HIGHEST GOOD POSSIBLE" - Jordan Peterson Motivation

Who dares wins—if he does not perish.

rescuing what is most valuable from the clutches of a great dragon

That which you most need to find will be found where you least wish to look.

the fragility of our homes and our institutions, which can collapse and leave us stripped of their protective walls in a single terrible moment

to have no more courage than a rabbit is definitely not to be everything you could be.

Until the entire world is redeemed, we all fall short.

pay attention, above all, even to what is monstrous and malevolent, and speak wisely and truthfully

hmmm

If and when the gods come to an agreement about their relative positions--more particularly, if they arrange themselves into a hierarchy--it means that peace has genuinely been established, because peace is the establishment of a shared hierarchy of divinity, of value.

the careless demolition of tradition is the invitation to the (re)emergence of chaos. When ignorance destroys culture, monsters will emerge.

Apsu, her husband, is the eternal father. He is the order that we depend upon for security, and by which we are simultaneously tyrannized.

Tiamat, the primordial goddess, is chaos, a female monster, a dragon. She is the terror of nature, creative and destructive, mother and slayer of us all.

We understand reality, therefore, as if it is constructed of personalities.

You do not choose what interests you. It chooses you.
