>Our system is 100% entirely dependent upon ARTIFICIALLY low interest rates

There is no such thing as "artificial" or "natural" rates of interest.

>Central banks are doing everything in their power to keep interest rates low because if they were to tick up even a little bit, the whole house of cards will come toppling down.

Why would, or should, they "tick up"? Capital is abundant. If rates were higher, things would be different, yes. But that is not the world we live in.

>It's the only still keeping this zombie of an economy moving, and it's the entire world

I love the idea that the entire global economy is fake, artificial and zombie-like, because it doesn't operate the way you think it should. A reasonable person would take a step back and question their premises and understanding.
