I think the main issue is a loss of common sense with the general public.

For a lot of people it is glaringly obvious that natural market forces have little to do with inflation (excluding monopolies, duopolies, cartels).

Knowing this to be fact, then seeing Congress pretend it isn’t, elicits a terse but well deserved response: sham

Hybrid is the best solution. Best of both worlds: and having to do both makes you appreciate both more.

Bitcoin doesn’t proactively disrupt centralization as much as it does so passively, by just existing. And arguably it has come a very far way by doing absolutely nothing other than that.

Its functioning exactly as it’s supposed to while central banks and governments around the world try desperately to change things every which way. And Bitcoin will stay that way even things continue to change further (in likely a bad direction)

Building something steady seems like a different and good bet to me

This seems prescient:

“The most “woke” people are the ones who aggressively try to silence all dissent (https://fakenous.net/?p=2932) and to exclude conservatives, libertarians, etc., from the Academy. So they not only fail to value intellectual diversity; they are just about the most stridently anti-diversity people in the entire country.”

This is a topic that’s always going to have wildly different numbers. Who cares? It doesn’t change what we all know to be true. Nothing has been undermined whatsoever

Don’t get so hung up on precise numbers. We all know Americans are obese and that greatly adds to healthcare costs.

I can’t imagine any downside of trying to prioritize lowering obesity.
