@PeterMcCormack@AnthropicAI Oh shit, this will allow them to make ever more and more regulations and restrictions and rules and complexity and then just say “AI will explain it to you”.
@gladstein@stephanlivera Pretty sure tokenised gold is equally invisible (p.s. neither is Bitcoin really invisible btw), weightless, trades 24/7, global, easily verified and teleports. Plus you can also swap to quantum-proof real gold any time.
Unfortunately it’s more fundamental than that.
Almost all the stuff on the bottom went down in cost due to increased automation and offshoring.
Meanwhile, the stuff on top is domestic labor intensive.
@PeterMcCormack@darrengrimes They aren’t labour though and they aren’t conservatives so they’ll probably get elected. Despite being an absolute catastrophe.
@PeterMcCormack It doesn’t stop. It continues. The reckoning never comes. Certainly not a cliff edge. The people pay collectively via inflation. Slowly. And then faster and faster. The process can take a very long time and the worse it gets the more the socialism until eventually even worse.
@PeterMcCormack@ZackPolanski He doesn’t need to answer any questions on economics to get elected. He doesn’t need to have any idea about economics at all. Barely any recent political leaders have or do. This is really not how getting elected works. It’s irrelevant to being elected.
@PeterMcCormack You can’t stop that kind of system. It’s self-accelerating, self-reinforcing. It got here by forces that have not and are not diminishing, they are strengthening still. It doesn’t care if you vote or not. It matters not. Every party is the same party with the same contraints.
