|content=This is the problem with valuations universally using USD or other managed fiat currencies as Numeraire.
Put simply, you have 2 effects. One is the measurement of a rigid ruler (BTC) by a rubber ruler (USD), the second is the fear of rubber rulers leading to demand for rigid one.

|content=If the USD went hyperinflationary this would clearer: we shouldn’t be using a fiat currency as our ruler because it is subject to mismanagement by central banking. Visa and MasterCard are tied to a manipulated ruler doing two things: measuring things and driving BTC demand.

|content=The question about Gold is a good one. But, more broadly, should we be synthesizing a numeraire from a basket of fairly Rigid rulers that doesn’t include USD? We say “stocks surged across the board today” when we really mean “Our centrally managed USD ruler plummeted today.”

|content=To sum up: the big story is that USD/USD is the problem. We put the dollar in our blind spot. It is moving around violently, but it makes everything else that doesn’t co-move with it look violent. The fact that so much co-moves w our crazy rubber ruler drives demand for XAU,BTC.

|content=The [[Morals|moral]] of the story to me is this:

We can’t have outside folks calculating and theorizing while the inside economists are fudging and cooking the books.

And calling me crazy won’t change a thing when this is finally understood. It’s simply institutional academic malpractice.

One of my most *outrageous* is that my joint work on a 2nd Marginal Revolution for economics was scuttled by the Harvard Department of Economics [[Boskin Commission|Boskin Commissioners]].

Yet it’s admitted:

|content=In any event, I stand by my claim. The [[Boskin Commission]] was organized by Moynihan and Packwood to deliberately break the [[CPI]] in a precise amount to avoid the US paying 1 trillion dollars over 10 years.

And I promise you no leading economist will call bullshit to debate this.

Okay. So why can’t we have gauge theoretic economics reevaluated? Everyone admits this is what happened. Why continue to bury the advance?

I dunno. But it’s amazing!

Also, the story about “Technology never before seen.” Would make more sense with “Technology” replaced by “Physics”.

|content=High level government officials have given [[UAP|UAPs]] credibility, but it's still pretty hard for an outsider to analyze the evidence objectively. It's all video footage and testimony. We need much stronger evidence to form any real opinion on UFOs being extraterrestrial or not.

|content=The US/Europe seriously diverted attention from doing real theoretical physics almost 40 years ago in 1984 to explore physics inspired mathematics. Did China/Iran/Russia/Israel? I don’t know.

But I can tell you this: no one in government is appropriately focused on new physics.

The handful of PhD level claims are of negligible cost to investigate &amp; dismiss compared to a single fighter jet.

It’s as if physicists retained the right to define temperature differently every year based on a closed door meeting and manufactured new thermometers thereafter.

|content=Well, it *has* come to this. My big disagreement w @BretWeinstein is how he has structured his point. Trying to sort this out, I saw a much less clear picture. I don’t want to say he’s wrong on substance b/c I don’t know. But the clarity he sees isn’t clear to me as a non expert.

I view Sam not wanting to talk to Bret as less significant than many of you, including @joerogan. I think Sam is confused by Bret (which is normal) but worries that working out the issues in public/private could end up in public as a health threat.

|content=Tastes change. Cost-Of-Living inflation is about tastes. If tastes evolve in time, the economists’ COL framework disintegrates. That is: there is NO theory. #EconTwitter can tell you I don’t get it.

It is THEY who don’t get it. They can’t escape it. It’s in their own literature.

|content=What you are seeing reported as Inflation is not coming from a well grounded theory. It is coming from human beings making policy level judgements as if they were merely making technical adjustments to a technical time series devoid of values about who should benefit or suffer.

|content=So this just appears now!?! And what do we learn? That if "Sources and Methods" of the Intelligence Community might be compromised, prosecutors regularly decline to push for full prosecution EVEN IN THE CASE OF SEXUAL ABUSE of minors and INFANTS.

Bingo: [[Follow the Silence]].

|content=We have an undisclosed program; there's some kind of 'understanding' that we don't understand. I very well understand why we don't casually compromise "Sources &amp; Methods". But trafficking kids is NOT casual business. Nor is USING them as part of 'Sources &amp; Methods' for kompromat.

|content=One question now creates 2 teams:

Team A) 'Sources &amp; Methods' are above child trafficking in importance.

Team B) Child Trafficking is above any exemption for our 'Sources &amp; Methods'.

I believe that if [[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein]] needed to use kids for S&amp;M as Kompromat, we lost our plot entirely.

|content=But most *simple* humility in science is false humility. That said, we are all humbled by nature, and sometimes by our peers. But most have to be at least a bit arrogant to survive abusive colleagues. So it is uncommon to find someone who is always humble. And yet, they do exist.

|content=A different wrong idea the Internet loves: “True scientists are humble”. 

Typically Newton’s quote to Hooke is invoked “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.”

Ahem. Great scientists are all over the map on this. Nowhere close to always humble.

There is an old story that the great Sidney Coleman once walked into the Harvard Physics department office and said “If I have seen farther than other men, it is because I am surrounded by midgets.”

|content=Most successful scientists are combinations of arrogant ambitious people, together with humble self-critical people.

But the Internet can’t be bothered with that complexity. So it traffics in a crazy idea: if you aren’t always humble you aren’t a scientist.

Which is bananas…

|content=Feynman wasn’t simply an arrogant prick. He was “Schodinger’s Prick” if you will. Sometimes an insufferable bully. Sometimes a humble teacher. Generally a show-off. Sometimes a supporter of others. At times a saboteur.
