The real action in the realm of money is changing the very nature of money itself. Once a store of value and an exchange medium replacing inconvenient gold, money is fast becoming a tool for population surveillance and control. Money will be available as permission given for allowed activities, and as a guide for approved behavior including thoughts. This can’t be good, or can it?
Rapidly engulfing us globally is a world like we have never seen or dealt with before. Digitally-based, centrally-controlled, totally-surveilled, and virtually inescapable. Much of this new world is in place today. It’s here. How can we possibly survive as human beings in such a world? Is there any way that us normal folk can change what is happening to us?
Will AI rule the world? Yes and no – depends on how you define “rule”. Defined as “control, direct, influence”, the answer seems clearly “yes”, but the reason why turns out to be far from clear or generally understood. We can be, and in fact are, ruled in some very unsuspected and invisible ways. Welcome to the future – it’s here.
Chaos – disorder, confusion, things out of control. Kind of like much of our world today. When will our chaos go away? But what if chaos is an essential precursor to great change. Change rarely flows from stability and order. Disruption is what creates an environment favoring change. Chaos is often its marker. Chaos allows big changes to happen.
Cryptocurrencies are not money but just a transaction mechanism. They have no proven safe store of value. They are collapsing, for reasons. Luckily, central banks just so happen to be ready to rollout out their CBDCs, which are not money either. CBDCs are only a payment mechanism linked to wonderful fiat currencies, like the US dollar, but they will save the monetary system. Or maybe not.
