Deep dives
The Distortions of the Fiat Standard
Dr. Safadine Amus explains how the transition from a hard money standard to the current fiat standard has caused distortions in various sectors like education, nutrition, energy, science, and medicine. Fiat money severs the connection between work and reward, making monetary success dependent on political obedience rather than productivity. This system teaches people to play politics instead of being productive and rewards artificial status games over actual productivity.
The Impact of Anti-Rational Memes
The spread of anti-rational memes, such as DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) mandates, is facilitated by the fiat standard. These ideas inhibit criticism and hinder wealth creation by suppressing the emergence and propagation of novel ideas. Under a hard money standard like Bitcoin, anti-rational memes would face greater scrutiny and market competition, allowing rational memes and the best ideas to thrive. The transition to a hard money world would align ideas with profit opportunities and create a more open society.
