|content=I’ve been on your side...w gauge theory...since well before BTC. Early 1990s. The goal is to disintermediate the institutional players to liberate markets to avoid tyranny. So running me down using bullshit to score points is anti-Bitcoin in spirit. Makes us all look weak & dumb.

|content=But telling me that Juan Maldacena is a genius for writing about gauge theory and markets and that I am a mere entertainer who needs to know is place is absurd. Funny actually.
Tell me bitcoiners: where do you think the great Juan Maldacena got this genius idea? Think about it..

|content=Let us imagine that Governments wake up. That they realize that the way to control what that cannot control is violence. In such a situation, I don’t want a record of all transfers. Even an anonymous record. That’s what I am on about.    Perhaps that is misguided. If so: explain.

|content=Markets are the alternative to tyranny and central control. And having a digital gold is essential. I am not trying to save BTC. I am not trying to introduce a new alternative coin. I am worrying about tyranny and the blockchain as ledger. I am worried about what is to come.

So much so that I want to reciprocate: BTC is one of the most important developments of our lives. I read Allen’s piece. I’d like to engage your community as I take you all very seriously. But I don’t think I am who you see me as being.

But a request: let’s cut the bs displays? It’s corroding us all and we now have a common threat in central banking & rigged markets to defeat. 🙏

|content=What was funny about Allen’s medium piece was that he didn’t catch that he the bitcoiner was being the credentialist. Allen was happily quoting our own original ideas back to us..but via Juan Maldacena. A legacy of credentialism and a failure of “Proof of work”. Hilarious really.

|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=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=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=Moral: we should synthesize a new  ruler (numeraire) XXX to measure USD/XXX & BTC/XXX separately as institutions tied most directly to USD may strongly co move in ways that disguise the dangers when a (mis)managed USD ultimately becomes the main story. Don’t let the Dollar hide.

|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.

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

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

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!

I admire courage to try new things: let’s stop being pussies &amp; build again.
More details when it’s finalized…

A) The printing of fiat money by central bankers.
B) The fact that economists are holding back the field.

|content=@macroquantstrat @BLS_gov But BLS measures the effects when it comes to adjusting tax brackets and SS.
Also, the points are general to index number construction. The main activity was in the 1920s. The field never really modernized after that.

|content=@pirate_hodl Sure! And as Samuelson said, it may not even be integrable. And it may be that you are mixing stocks and flows. Etc. But then don’t say you are implementing Konus COLAs while pretending that mumbling “ superlative Index number are exact for flexible functional forms” makes sense.

|content=@pirate_hodl The main issue here is simply super invidious priestly bull shit used to cover the destruction of people’s lives. Thanks!

|content=@pirate_hodl They have two black boxes. One is called CPI construction. One is called the Fed. The theory is a narrative. The narrative doesn’t match the actions.

|content=@invisi_college1 @BLS_gov It’s an important question you asked. Thanks for it. It’s hard to answer of course, but propose doing group study and it gets easier.

|content=@JackSarfatti @planethunter56 @joerogan Sorry. I’m not familiar with what you mean by the S term. A real valued scalar field? A Symmetric 2-Tensor that gets contracted against Stress Energy? By local frame transformations do you mean a Spin(1,3) [[Gauge Theory|gauge transformation]] of the [[Bundles|principal bundle]] of all tangent frames? 🤷‍♀️ 🙏

|content=Q: Do you believe Claudine Gay is a top scholar and the right president needed to lead and advance our leading US university and that those who oppose her are white supremacists?
A: Read her scholarly writings. I guess  my black colleagues who find her beyond embarrassing are all white supremacists.
Q: Do you believe we have a border problem we do not know how to solve?
A: I believe this is absurd.
Q: Do you believe we have a “gang shoplifting in broad daylight” problem that we do not know how to solve?
A: I do not. It could be solved instantly.
Q: Do you believe Kamala Harris Donald Trump, or Joe Biden are fit to be commander in Chief against Putin & Xi?
A: I don’t think anyone smart believes this.
Q: Do you believe we cant get to the bottom of COVID 19 and our involvement with the Wuhan Lab through @EcoHealthNYC?
A: No. And it killed millions.
Q: Do you believe we have a free press asking for hedge fund records or even the most basic hedge fund questions about a dead individual child trafficker who they report as a  “disgraced financier” while no one in New York appears to claim to have regularly traded with him?
A: I have been told that editors claim there is no interest in this story and that “The world has moved on.” Which I can prove are false claims
Q: Do you believe social media companies don’t secretly manipulate truthful communication at the direction of government to preserve official disinformation?
A: No. I think we have the facts on this.
Q: Do you believe there is an insoluble homelessness problem in San Francisco.
A: Xi visited and it got solved instantly. It’s insane.
Q: Do you believe the IC, defense department and US Aerospace companies are under effective federal oversight by Congress with respect to whatever is alleged to be going on with UAP threatening restricted military airspace?
A: Don’t even start. This is nuts.
Q: Do you agree that it is normal for fundamental physics to stall out for 40 YEARS on a dead end and no one can get a government grant to hold a series of conferences:
“Breaking the Log Jam: Alternatives To String Theory”
“Particle  Physics after String Theory: Other Voices, New Approaches?”
“Should we push on the closed door that says ‘Pull’: Gravitizing the Quantum as response to the 70 year failure of Quantum Gravity.”
A: You could save our pre-eminent scientific community from madness in a year by destroying the need to listen to those physicists who have never predicted anything that might work over decades of avoiding the subject of the actual physical world we see in the laboratory. You aren’t a physicist if you aren’t focused on the actual physical world. Much less a leading physicist. It’s that simple. This is a matter of paying theorists to rebel against the failed generations of people pretending to do high energy physics while working in imaginary worlds that do not exist.
Q: Do you believe that drawing any connection between Islam and Terror is Islamophobia?
A: Ask your close Muslim friends. They will tell you all about the problem with Islam and terror if they trust you. They as Muslims would usually be FAR more “Islamopbic” than you are if that were a real thing. Reductio Ad Absurdum.
Q: Do you believe that the [[CPI]] is a state of the art Cost-Of-Living measure as claimed?
A: It is a fake [[Gauge Theory|gauge]] to undercount inflation. Tax brackets & entitlements are indexed so it is a wealth transfer program of a size one cannot easily contemplate pretending to be a measure of the cost of living. COL is a TECHNICAL term for a measure that prices consumer well being not goods. The entire house of cards rests on work on “Superlative Index Numbers”  of a single obscure Canadian economist  who does not fully understand Index Theory. You can prove it is fake by asking the @BLS_gov how it computes COL without taking in PREFERENCE DATA, without which there is no COL possible. It’s a fake measure to undercount inflation.
Etc.
——
I believe this is *ALL* just 100% fake.
