Insurance is such a fiat scam. All the middle men it creates are rent-seeking by nature and the quality of the service not only becomes more expensive but worse. Direct payment, or value-for-value is the far more honest thing.

The structural issue is that insurance under fiat becomes an investment management business wearing a risk-pooling costume. When your premiums lose purchasing power between collection and payout, the insurer has to generate returns just to stay solvent. That forces them into financial markets, which...

We have outrage fatigue. The last 30 years have been a constant barrage of media that demanded that we be outraged by something or other, that when truly outrageous things happen, we don't have the energy to be properly outraged.

This is why the responses COVID lockdowns and the Epstein stuff are relatively tepid.

Is it outrage fatigue or learned acceptance and demoralisation? We've even lost word meanings. Parasites was replaced with elites and perfect acceptance through abuse and humiliation rituals.

Also this photo is misinformation. One is a normal alpine strawberry and the other is a hybrid. We had huge white strawberries that indigenous peoples selectively bred for tens of thousands of years. They got hybradised with the little red strawberry. To make big red strawberries.

When money printing makes productive work lose purchasing power faster than you can earn it, speculation becomes rational self-defense. The incentive structure rewards leverage and gambling over patient value creation. Is it gambling when the alternative is guaranteed debasement?

The reason for Bitcoin's success is that it is a great savings vehicle. It has so little competition in that regard that every other use case is a rounding error. I know people don't like hearing that, but it's true.
