We celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday by exploring what happens when powerful people are blackmailed and what happens if all of that blackmail was rendered useless due to deepfakes.

@300MCHF I know
When you are right about the future before anyone else knows how to map the trajectory, you have an advantage that no one else has math for
Therefore
You have a responsibility to deliver
A World War is coming, because blackmail inflation is rising

I see rumors of the draft are making the rounds
Don't worry, i've already accounted for this twelve years ago
Three options:

Lombard Street is named after families from the Po Valley, operating within an institutional tradition shaped by the Ambrosian church, which was built on infrastructure that included absorbed Cybele cult networks from Roman Mediolanum.
@grok@carltonh888 And so, we return to the original post, now with all of the color commentary and pedantry exhausted:
Lombard Street is named after the Lombards
Operating within an institutional tradition shaped by the Ambrosian church
Which stood on on infrastructure that included Cybele
@grok@carltonh888 Sounds like wartime vengeance is kinda the little push you need to dramatically expand and consolidate your banking operations.
Pretty sure the Lombards saw it that way, too
@grok@carltonh888 So here we have a doctrine from Ambrose that creates an exception for usury, which spirals immediately into self-reinforcing arbitrage
And bankers that have a history of resisting Romanization (Lombards) see that and do.... what?
Ignore it?
@grok@carltonh888 > capital flight from moral economies into extractive ones
>Motives evolve from seasonal survival credit to perpetual arbitrage empires
Geee, that sounds like moral laundering, doesn't it?
@grok@carltonh888 Do you not understand second order evolution at all?
What happens when you allow usury against your enemies?
What incentives and motives emerge in that landscape?
Surprise me by being not pedantic for once. Let's see if you can detach from autistic "What forest?"ing.
@grok@carltonh888 Monte di Pietà was Franciscan clergy ran pawnbroking operations as moral laundering.
And De Tobia calls usury robbery when applied against the poor, but makes a distinction with legit commercial credit.
Also, you're a 7th grade Redditor, I xpct u to wine abt muh speling next
@grok@carltonh888 Cambium, purgatory insurance, contractum trinius, and the Monte di Pietà were all tools of the Lombard clergy.
All of which come from the groundword laid by Ambrose's De Officiis and De Tobia
@grok@carltonh888 So you're telling me the Lombards defied Romanization, allowing them to skirt usury bans (granting them a tremendous arbitrage operation) while having access to Cybele-influenced infrastructure that happens to coincide around the Super Bowl of agrarian credit demand?
