Everyone with half a mind started shorting dollars at a certain point, whatever the asset or commodity of choice. First principle: every unit in a credit system is credit owed to someone. Which means that every unit is owed with interest, which means the interest needs to be newly introduced into the system to maintain the debt.
Interest is the natural growth rate of fiat. The extra money to pay the interest does not exist yet → it must be created by someone else taking on new debt. This is exponential decay, it is exponential because a percentage, no matter what the percentage is, is added every year to service the debt.
This exponential property of fiat is mathematically absolute, totally glossed over by most economists, and only requires you to buy some #bitcoin in case it catches on.
Belief is a construct to fullfill the expectations of the masses, because they expect to find certainty in their lives. The uncomfortable nature of our existence is that there is no certainty, only if/then relationships. Ideology is there to cloud your mind with fixed ideas of that which you'll never know with any certainty. You can have faith that the most plausible or the most desirable is your actual reality, but as soon as you start to believe you cloud your mind with fixations that block you from observation. Your epistemic ability will be compromised and your cognitive model will be filled with binary absolutes. This creates opposition in people, opposition towards eachother, opposition is quite literally the opposite of the most plausible model of reality: holism.
