Syllogisms: 1) If something is broken, then it has stopped. 2) Nothing stops this train. 3) Therefore, Modus Tollens, the train is not broken. 1) The train is the monetary system. 2) The train is not broken. 3) Therefore, Modus Ponus, the monetary system is not broken.

The accumulation of value divorced from its creation is unnatural and contrary to natural law. 👀Traders, gamblers, money changers, but I repeat myself.👀

“Nothing stops this train.” P “The train is broken.” ~P I know logic is a bitch, but we can’t have P and ~P. Let’s keep P because it’s true. Throw away ~P cause it’s false. And replace it with Q: The train is headed in the wrong direction. ie. the train is morally evil. What do you think @Lyn Alden ? Can we sacrifice the macro for the moral?

If we apply the same logic to gun violence that we use with debasement, then guns are simply broken. It’s absurd in both cases because it completely ignores the moral agents. Rhetoric is only as effective as it is true. We need to retire “broken money”

Broken? Hit your uncle in the head with a drumstick at Thanksgiving, then say “sorry the turkey is broken, we will get it fixed.” We have to sharpen our rhetoric with the truth. These abuses are effects of the systems function, not disfunction. Broken abandons the moral domain and plays into our enemy’s hand.

If someone starts talking about how the money is broken at Thanksgiving, hit them with the turkey leg and shout, “will someone please fix the turkey, it’s in need of repair!”

When people print money, they agress upon others, debasing their very lives. The ethical approach reveals the truth of these transgressions in the most direct and clear way possible. Let’s leverage that. Sacrafice the macro for the moral. #bitcoin #nostr #philosophy
