Remember, as shit hits the fan in from all directions, we arenโ€™t fighting โ€œbad people,โ€ we are fighting bad ideas. You can kill people with guns and knives and bombs, but you can only kill ideas through education, relationship, and empathy.

Change is always bottom up, never top down. Address the roots, and the fruit will follow.

ESSAY: Home of the brave? Really?
restacked

'Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all.'

A spot-on observation by John Maynard Keynes.

โ€œMoney is a social construct. People trust in it today because they know others will trust in it tomorrow. The legal framework is a key underpinning for the legitimacy of money, and the trust that people place in money. Without the law, money cannot function.โ€ ~Agustรญn Carstens, General Manager of the BIS, Basel, Switzerland, 27 September 2023
