How can society incentivize good behavior? β Every statement I make is a vote in the country called "me." β Am I rewarding bad behavior in my life? β Where is the line between inside and outside, between me and the truth? Does such a line exist? β A healthy society (or person) does not reward bad behavior. β The easiest way to lose power is to let someone convince you that you don't have any. β Be the avatar in your own game: define what the game is and what winning means. β Could it be that we all know what we're called to do and are just pretending to be ignorant? β Dr. Phil wants to "own the debate lane," the forum in which debate takes place; what about owning the debate lane that is my own life? β Everyone does their part, for better or worse. β Outliers are very important to move the narrative forward. β What am I trying to accomplish with my talk? β If I want to change people, accusing them is not going to help. β Look closely at the picture you have painted of yourself. β Give every citizen 10 points a day; each one gives a plus point for other's good behavior, a minus point for bad behavior.

Money is a description of value. What determines the real value of anything? β What do I assign value to? β How do I assign value? β Why do I assign value? β How actual ownership leads to taking responsibility β Brief explanation of bitcoin: A digital asset that cannot be inflated and is very hard to steal or seize. β Fiat currency is currency backed by government credit and police force only. It makes inflation possible; inflation moves the wealth of society from the working classes to the asset-owning classes (the rich). β How fiat currency is increasing prices when they should be declining as we get more and more productive (through factories, mechanized agriculture, internet) β How perception of scarcity increases social divisiveness β What will money look like in the future? β How until bitcoin no one ever really owned anything (gold, real estate) without the protection of others (the law) β How actual ownership leads to taking responsibility β No fiat currency ever started out as the currency; it was always a bait and switch game. β What would be a more reliable indicator of value: the collective consciousness of millions of people (the open market) or a few politicians and bureaucrats? β because the free market is a true democracy in which people vote by buying and selling, fiat currency must be imposed by violence; it is also violation of free speech β fiat currency is a pyramid scheme in which those in higher tiers are constantly enriching themselves at the expense of those in lower tiers β fiat money is said to be good to prevent people from hoarding. Is hoarding a bad thing? β Hoarding versus investing. β How a fundamental principle applies from the micro to the macro. (Example: private debt and government debt.)
