|content=Kayfabrication of the US Senate & economics.
Fiat money, String Thy, “labor shortages”, COVID origin, CRT, 2wks to ‘Flatten the Curve’, etc. I don’t think people take me seriously that it’s now everywhere.
But that is the [[Claims|claim]]: Lack of growth led to Kayfabe becoming universal.

|content=[[Morals|Moral]]: whoever constructs [[CPI]] and GDP numbers in a dynamic economy is in a position to fake higher growth and lower inflation if they are also in a position to stop the field from debating methodological advances that would restrict the freedom to make up index number recipes. 🙏

|content=[[Claims|Claim]]: when it comes to inflation and growth, Economists don’t even understand the theory of their *own* price and quantity indices mathematically:

|content=The problem of inflation index calculation has not been adequately updated since Ragnar Frisch destroyed Irving Fisher’s attempt to axiomatize economic indices following the last great advances of F. Divisia and A. KonĂŒs on continuous and welfare indices respectively.

|content=Economists are holding their own field back by retaining their freedom to just cook up any revised index they want.
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=If you’re going to push us all to move to “true” “economic” indices & chain them to reflect dynamic actors (or to disguise true inflation!), you would end up chaining ordinal preferences. And you can’t do that without gauge theory because it is a problem in parallel transport.

|content=Watch the US [[CPI]] revisions and methodology going forward. People who like to print money tend to want to change their definition of inflation and therefore don’t like anyone taking away freedom to make up methodologies to suit their political objectives involving wealth transfer.

|content=Most of us flawed humans aren’t so bold as to say we are the bastions of truth. We get things wrong. We struggle. We lie at times. We appeal to experts. We throw up our hands. We remain silent.
Saying you are a fact checker is a BOLD claim. Hence, the need for a total rethink.

|content=Our fact checkers have one job. Only one reason for being. They are supposed to focus on facts only & check them.
This is not fact checking @PolitiFact. This is consensus checking. That has nothing to do with facts.
You aren’t a fact checker. You opened us all to groupthink. https://t.co/wY4NgkWXML

|content=Increasingly I see a story about some factual thing w quotes, dates, or numbers & data. It is in @nypost or @FoxNews. And I think “Wow. That would be insane. Better see how the @washingtonpost or @npr is covering the same story so I don’t get spun.”
And I find *zero* coverage.

|content=That is new. In the old days everyone would cover the same stories from different perspectives.
But now what I regularly see in place of that is a spun version of a real story on one side of the aisle and NO STORY reported by the other.
Is anyone else noticing such a shift?

|content=To sum up the [[Claims|claim]]: We are no longer separately spinning a common reported reality which we are all forced to acknowledge. It’s now just two different notions of what can be ignored and what must be spun. If that is true, it’s a big shift towards ungovernability.
