About three months ago, after about a fifteen-year intentional separation, i got back into touch with the person who i considered my "early teacher" on the Road to Enlightenment. I had made the separation because i really wasn't getting to where i wanted to be with R and i felt i had to get out and do things on my own.
Wise decision, btw.
------
Just the same, i have always, always held R up with the highest esteem. Personally, i think he is one of the best "artists" (i.e., Picasso, Manet, like) in the last half century or more. I own several of his paintings. Some, he painted for me. In fact, i have the painting for the cover R made for my first novel, The Sower's Seeds.
My point?
The thing is R "is not" someone that knows much about the world of finance and economics. He knows what he hears, but he has no way to decipher that information. When you think of R in your mind, think more of someone like a gentle indian guru, or Obi Wan, not a Jamie Diamond, if you know what i mean).
So, lately R has been asking me questions about various things he has been hearing from different news outlets, which i am sure includes the Fox Propaganda News network.
Anyway, to try to make this longer story shorter, as i stretch this sentence out to as long i can make it before getting to the point that i first wanted to make when i started this sentence, R has been asking all the questions that have led to all the articles that i wrote last week.
If it wasn't for R, i wouldn't have written that material down. All that material came from email responses back to R as i tried to respond to his questions (questions that weren't coming from any of my other cohorts, which is about 30, if you count both Talkmarkets and non-Talkmarkets cohorts).
I have been thinking about that for a while now, so i would like then now to share my latest response to R's question about crypto currency and globanomics.
------
There will be room for crypto currency in globanomics, but it won't be a big deal.
I have made only "one change" in globanomics since first presenting it in 2010 and that had to do with currency. I said back in 2010 that we needed a single currency in globanomics.
A pretty wise person said, he could buy into everything globanomics was offering except for that. He said currencies reflect a nation's history and culture and he didn't think we should ever lose that. And i agreed. That thinking made a lot of sense to me, and besides what i really meant is that we could convert monies to a single standard for "analytical purposes" (e.g., monies for health care, food, etc. etc. etc.), and we can do that with "current exchange rates". Voila.
Really, the only major change that globanomics made relating to currencies was to introduce the Fondue (and i am still waiting around to see whether than one will stick or not). I personally thought it might actually come to serve a purpose, but i will say that i was making a little fun with it at the same time. The Fondue is the currency used within the domain of the World Federation, which will be on a plot of land whose borders reflect land not owned by any nation (kind of like the District of Columbia, but in this case the WF won't be attached legally to any nation like DC is currently in the US).
El trumpo waves the crypto thing out there like he knows something that no one else knows. Well, most people would say it is the other way around. Most people know what el trumpo doesn't know.
I hope that answers the gist of your question. And yeah, i know about the "hard Evangelical right" (the End of Times guys), they are even stupider than the "mild Evangelical right".
