    RIP Friedrich von Hayek

    All the money that exists cannot buy Earth, and the evidence is that we destroy our habitat as a result, thinking that we can just seize and pillage as we see fit. If crowds endorse the pursuit of wealth at their own level, they cannot prevent multinationals from doing exactly the same. The “dystopian endless growth paradigm” is going to end with a bang but will open the door to a premise endorsing that Earth is the only wealth we truly have while journeying through life.

    Re: RIP Friedrich von Hayek

    question for capitalism: why do the stocks go up when companies lay off people.... reward cost efficiency

    exactly why capitalism cannot work out, inevitably leads to scarcity

    peter joseph gets it right

    Go back in time to 1840. Communism didn't exist yet. Neither did capitalism. It was impossible to be a communist in 1840. It was impossible to be a capitalist in 1840. Communism was invented by Karl Marx. Capitalism was invented in 1850 to combat the concept of communism.

    Economy was invented by learned people to manage shortages whether real or imagined.

    These concepts are invented. Contrived for the purposes of control.

    Not money. Manipulation. Crafty SOBs who jockey society so that they gain some perceived advantage. Uneducated louts who should be removed to the furthest extremes of the barnyard and assigned the most menial tasks instead of being showered with honors that should be reserved for those who might actually have a message.

    Probably didn't age as well in death either.

    Re: RIP Friedrich von Hayek

    manipulation is embedded in monetarism, profit seeking and embellishing reality are bed fellows. Money has always worked that way, it just became a lot worst with fiat money. the tulip mania comes to mind. It is because people think that value is stretchable that manipulation occurs. Thats the trick the elites pull on us, they rule because they know how to abuse a fallacy.

    Earth has a invariable wealth that cannot be manipulated, and monetarism promotes otherwise. Wealth is an illusion of the mind mainly causes by the fear of death. And that prime fear causes scarcity. von Mises is quote above correct.

    I dont know anymore is it is in this one or a vid with the Young Turks, but joseph calculated that earth can easily feed 34 billion if abandoning profit seeking and the obsolete concept of ownership. One owns yourself only, not one's possessions which one loses when one dies anyway. Identifying oneself with one possessions is another fallacy that profits the elites. The elites rules because they understand the stakes on a metaphysical level. This is a spiritual battle which money prevents from seeing.

    Because Billions of Communists have vested a Licensed Commie Broker to skim and control any immediate commie fiat paper available from the layoff.

    This leads to an abundance of more commie fiat paper and nobody but a commie broker who gains thru scarcely seen communism.
