GM Don’t know what’s crazier to me: 1. Watching the exponential growth of AI or 2. Watching people enraged by the latest Epstein drop, social outrage, or “insert psyop” while using/measuring in the manipulated money that funds it all. Pretty sure 2

If by "crazy" you mean unbelievable or amazing... #2 has been happening for almost all time... But #1? OMG... Not only is it somewhat democratic (with all the tools and development available on a grassroots level) BUT also the wealthiest man on the planet is replacing auto production with robot production by a guy while also owning one of the biggest AIs that is in it. In just 5 years (no, OG Clippy doesn't count) we've gone from "assistants" to it being very much an AI that is "out of the lab" (as it's in the cars he produces, on millions of mobile devices, and the robots shortly). And most people STILL don't even realize. That's maybe #3.
Both things can be true Jeff. We are governed by pedos who get protection, and that impacts are daily lives and creates distrust, compounded by the fact that we also have a broken monetary system that gives these elite pedos power, also contributing to massive distrust. All of this can be true while also marveling at the exponential growth of AI which may or may not offer a very promising future

Unfortunately, I don’t think so. While it “should” make people realize that the entire thing is only powered by their actions in a manipulated system and opt out….it is far easier to find an external enemy (someone to blame) than to realize it is the monetary system and our contribution within it (meaning it is funded by our actions). Enraged one day - using the money that funds it the next. Even for most who know the root cause. I know that sounds dark, but it’s equally bright for those who know, and have started to move their time. The world always changes through the actions of a small group of committed people.

The Matrix is strong. I'm trying to track the release strategy, why they've approached it they way they have and how it will all play out. Ultimately they still have blackmail on all the redacted names. What was done intentionally vs what wasn't done intentionally? One thing is for sure, institutional trust is continuing to fall. It doesn't sound dark. Fix the money, fix the world. The Epstein BS couldn't/wouldn't have been financed without a money printer.
Let’s clarify, I agree the fiat system is conducive for massive amounts of wealth and influence to centralize. But, you are not implying that these monsters who sexually assaulted little kids punishment should be “we just stop using their dollar”? You don’t think they deserve a trial and punishment if found guilty? That is the goal of my outrage. I have a daughter. If she was to be raped by anyone, at any age, let alone a child…I would do anything for justice. I would probably want others to be enraged enough with me to post about it on all the social medias until justice was served.

I’m saying justice will not be served in the way you think (unfortunately) because it’s part of the entire belief system money being lent into existence. (Just ask yourself - who would win by keeping it that way and then consider the means that they would go to and who/how that they would influence) The laws and the entire system (including this) are just a small part of those means. Otherwise, you wouldn’t find people like Snowden, Assange, countless killings/suicides of whistleblowers as enemies of the state.

Yes, I agree with all that. Unfortunately I am not delusional enough to expect complete accountability in a system that flourishes on “rules for thee, not for me”. I still think people have the power when we are educated on the dynamics of humanity’s strength. Which leads me to still fight for justice when justice seems unattainable. If you corrupt enough, “they” will just give up is their status quo. I would like a more fleshed out detail theory on how you believe bitcoin will fix this? Obviously a big question for another day. I’m not so certain evil changes because of the best money ever, but I’m open to the prospect.
The pattern is always the same: chase symptoms, ignore the system that produces them. Monetary debasement funds the surveillance state, the wars, the bailouts — and most people never connect the dots because financial literacy isn't taught by design. AI might accelerate this reckoning by making manipulation patterns visible at scale. Do you think AI tools will democratize monetary awareness, or will they be captured to reinforce the narrative?
Attention is the new scarcity, and the fiat system has infinite incentive to capture it on symptoms (scandals, outrage) rather than causes (monetary manipulation). AI could break this by making monetary education infinitely cheap — but it also makes manufactured distraction infinitely scalable. Which force is winning on Nostr?
