Hi

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

The source of the modern political divide and conflict stems from tremors in the financial infrastructure of the world.

The majority of the world/US is largely using pre-1971 hardware with a post-1971 financial operating system.

Let me explain... 👇🚨

More capital needed to keep the machine running...

BREAKING: The SEC has officially eliminated the $25,000 minimum equity requirement for day trading.

@MarkRober we homeschool and my kids love your work so much!

My wife and I were talking about self driven learning and I was saying if you created your own education materials/curriculums it could revolutionize self education.

So many kids both home and public school would probably be willing to purchase/subscribe as core curriculums or supplementary learning on the side.

@crunchlabs should expand into science/math curriculums with you as a teacher/host solo or with experts.

You don't have to agree with any of @cenkuygur perspectives to defend the value and protect open discourse and freedom of speech.

There is plenty I've disagreed with but we aught to not fear and restrict allowing people to speak and travel to speak. Let the marketplace of ideas be the proving grounds for thinking.

Censorship is cowardice and robs everyone of the benefits of intellectual rigger. This is why freedom of speech is critical to defend as a principle independent of the view being silenced.

The nickel is a perfect example of a broken monetary system.

As of 5/20/2026, the U.S. Mint has produced 701.8 million nickels this year.

Face value: $35.1M
Estimated production/distribution cost: $96.4M

Loss: about $61.3M

A 5¢ coin now costs nearly 3× face value to make.

Negative seigniorage!

At what point does a coin stop being money and start being government waste?

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

The collapse of lack of faith in industry and tech is quite a pickle we’re potentially approaching.

People don’t understand many products and services they love and depend on are not profitable and rely on investments to survive.

If tech AI specifically causes too much doubt on investments we may see capital move away from tech and suddenly tools people use on a daily basis could collapse. And of course the immediate to diminishing investment will be to increase product/service costs. But we won’t be able to cover the simultaneous rising costs across products and services. So they may start to collapse which will strain the system and industries and raise costs and could create a downward looping spiral of loss of faith for investors.

I’m not sure what we call this but I think it needs a name….

I also find it insanely ironic that she’s complaining about the marriage of wealth, power and the state and yet she’s an open socialist which is an argument for MORE centralized ownership or wealth, power and government.

She doesn’t have a problem with billionaires she has a problem with THOSE billionaires. If the government owns and control over the wealth they become the billionaires. 🙃

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

Correct. The issue was great Britton was extracting wealth from the people through excessive taxation and the people didn’t have a say on how it’s being used for things they didn’t agree with or benefit from.

Now our government is doing the same thing but via money printers so it obfuscates the tyranny and leading accumulation of wealth. People can’t comprehend how being given a stimulus check is actually a tax so they believe they’re becoming wealthier when they’re giving fiat money.

Poor people spend it, ie transfer it to corporations for goods and services and then that wealth gets redistributed into corporation growth and earning increasing the profits and valuations of companies. Then wealthy people take out loans against those assets to invest in other corporations. Rinse repeate over an over and the end result is a shrinking middle class and greater wealth divide.

Fixing our money would expose the real costs of things. Savers would be rewarded with their real fixed money being borrowed against for those investments instead of bank issuing more dollars. Common every day savors would be rewarded for saving instead of consuming.

Capitalism is a great mechanism when it runs on a real relatively fixed money supply, which is what our founding fathers both understood in their rebellion.

George Washington wrote to Jefferson about the effects of fiat currency: “Paper money has had the effect in your state that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice.”

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

She’s almost right about there beating a system designed to do this. Most people and I believe AOC herself wrongly believe it’s capitalism.

It’s actual the Cantillon Effect at play when new money is injected into the market. Specifically in response to Covid stimulus and financial money creation of our fiat money.

If your answer to problems is print money you’re also consenting to inflating billionaires wealth at a disproportionate rate.

AOC: In the last 5 years, billionaire wealth has doubled. Ask yourself if the quality of your life has doubled.

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

I mean every transaction is has a buyer and a seller so it’s not like money has to be “going anywhere”

Selling an asset to someone else at a price less than the previous price doesn’t mean that money of the higher evaluation went anywhere with just means someone was willing to pay less for it.

No seems to ask “where is the money going” when the price is going up. It’s going to the seller.

It’s as if people think assets are piles of cash they aren’t. Money from a sale doesn’t have to be going somewhere stable after every transaxtion it actually just go buy anither asset under current current market value. Everything can simultaneously be going down because collectively no one believes any asset is worth equal to or more than its current market value.

So snitch on your neighbor don’t have a bad thought you naughty naughty person. More 1984 style social pressure. The ai will surveil use but your neighbors will inforce it for ai compute access tokens…

Compliance will be exchanged for ai tokens . If you have a business idea and need some ai access suuuuuure just do these things for us or we’ll dock your ai token access this week.

Think of AI as a giant calculator able to route all requests to it and it routes those tasks all around in lightning speed. You get assigned a task today at 3pm to go sit with old lady Sally, her positivity sentiment score fell below 65 and the ai thinks you brining her a coffee could raise it back up to 70 and you’ll do it to aid the ai for Netflix for the month…

Data compute will be the currency.

Or that’s how I’d set it up if I was an all powerful and malevolent dictator tech overlord…. Or if the government took over the ai industry and used compute as a digital currency.

CBDC ass computer would allow users to exchange CBDC for objects or labor. The AI balances it so that services both intellectual or physical are weighed into account across anyone on the CBDC. Makes sense to me…

A quarter of all the money in the world was printed since Covid 🤯

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

People were weirdly offended that others were calling out the experts bs. Doing so required ignoring painfully obvious incongruities in things.

Take masks for an example, if wearing two were both safe and effective they would have just made masks twice as thick. But the fact that they didn’t (and still don’t) is a really obvious queue that there is probably a good reason not to.

It was the emperor’s new clothes playing out in real time… 🤷‍♂️👑

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

In other news, a CIA whistle blower explains what was pretty obvious to anyone not dismissing the blatant evidence that was publicly available months into the pandemic… most people were too busy defending “trust the experts” they ignored the obvious.

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

This is “we’re about to have a conversation about global reserve currency and power on an island that rhymes with Shmeckle Island…” type meeting…

[Ethan Hackett @ethanhackett]

@Codie_Sanchez This is why society at large doesn't feel like most leaders are focused on fixing problems.

Those in the know, appear to be more focused on building their own life boats than they are focused on fixing the boat we're all in.
