The 'Psychedelic Renaissance' Continues | The Libertarian Institute
https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/the-psychedelic-renaissance-continues/

> In early 2024, Rick Doblin—the man whose work launched one of the biggest social and cultural movements of our time, “the Psychedelic Renaissance”—was expecting to see the crowning achievement of his life’s mission. The non-profit he led and founded, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), had recently published the second of its Phase 3 clinical trials of the psychedelic drug MDMA, investigating its efficacy in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The results seemed incontestable.

> The MDMA-assisted therapy developed by Doblin and his team was shown to produce drastic improvement in 72% of patients with PTSD, so that two months after treatment, they no longer met the criteria for the disorder. This made it far and away the most effective treatment available for what is an otherwise largely intractable, debilitating, and potentially fatal mental illness, which afflicts over thirteen million Americans. And this second trial was the last hurdle to be cleared before the drug could receive FDA-approval and become a legal, prescription medication. The FDA-approval of MDMA was the main target Doblin set out to achieve when he founded MAPS four decades earlier.

The Fed, Gold, and Crypto: Freedom and Competing Currencies
https://mises.org/misesian/fed-gold-and-crypto-freedom-and-competing-currencies

By Alex J. Pollock
> To stay in power, governments have to keep spending money. They need to give money to their friends, to give money to their supporters, to carry out their various projects, and—most expensive of all—to have wars.

Try to ignore the very stupid sideswipe at bitcoin. It's entirely beside the point.

That’s so exciting! I ordered some stuff as a gift for my dad and then you shut down before I ordered anything for myself.

My thoughts aren’t fully formed yet but the institutions are there to protect the innocent from unjust state actions.

Due process isn’t for the criminal. It’s for us, to keep us from being treated like criminals.

So, my current feelings are that you’d better be right if you’re going to intentionally ignore those institutional protections and be willing to be held personally responsible if you’re wrong.

No doubt some of that lack of development, and more importantly lack of economically profitable development, is from typical central planning ineptitude.

However, my understanding is that Venezuela has particularly low quality oil and much of it is too expensive to refine at current prices.

[MONEY CLASS OF THE DAY: Money Illusion and Unit Bias, Bitcoiner style](https://stacker.news/items/1264166/r/Undisciplined) by @denlillaapan

Den's stated mission is to make us all less stupid when it comes to understanding money. Here he explains that fiat sucking as a store of value doesn't imply that it is failing as a medium of exchange.
