Are subversion and illiteracy separate cryptocurrencies?

[Z-axis Factors @MasMedia2048]

Language is technology.
We act like operationally-defining things is easier than it really is.
We don’t act like there are as many definitions as there are.
We also act like there are less languages than there are.
Culture is more complicated than we give it credit for.

Why do you idolize people that paint you as caricatures?

[Thinking Aloud @EntertainThat]

@et_Times Maybe we have to be Democrats or Republicans on Mars, but on Earth…
No need.

When we find the debates have become cold stalemates, should we make a documentary together (that goes after the truth) or separately (where groups are before truth)?

Thinking out loud, there's just something about the former that sounds appealing for some reason...

Presumably, these are less prone to sentimental pump-and-dump schemes, but what else might we need to consider?
With gold being valued at an all-time high (at least in nominally), is it irrational to be weary?
If they’re not adequately regulated, could gold become more difficult to distinguish from criminal money?
Does gold lose any of its value if owned by dictators, cartels, gangs, etc.?

Post-script: if all of these cryptocurrencies are available, what justification is there to deny access to foreign exchange?
Is #forex a right associated with freedom of movement?
Wouldn’t that help civilians hold their politicians/representatives accountable?
Opinion: citizens shouldn’t have to go kill or be killed because their government is incapable of (or unwilling to) foster an economy that solves its fiscal/monetary problems without resorting to human sacrifice.

@etDotStore What is a social-homeostatic mechanism which can be learned &amp; practiced (… although, cultural homeostasis is probably about as advantageous/beneficial as staying cozy &amp; nourished in the basket/womb ad infinitum)?

[Tumnus Steyewalker @et_LWO]

Part of the problem in the U.S. is that we take cues for our attitudes.

How It Fits the Cribsheet

This table slots into the Cryptocurrency Decoder section added last time:

Layout: Fits the mini-table format—’Currency | PLCMEGS Scores | Triad Clues | M-C-F | Action.’

Use: Users (e.g., lawmakers) spot a state (e.g., FOMO in policy debates), score it, decode via triad, assess M-C-F, and act.

Gestalt: Shows systemic intent—e.g., Consumerism isn’t just ads but an economic trap, countered holistically.”

Does all this end In discomprehensibility?

[Common Ground Times @et_Times]

Culture is technology-generating technology.
Language is one of those technologies (which has helped generate answers, concepts, definitions, ideas, questions, etc.). Complicated language, terminology, &amp; vocabulary can help compress and decompress complex codes.
