From Peasant Consumers To Pleb Producers
The choice is yours. Will your descendants pass through the great orange filter?
CONTEXT
To better makes sense of this short but far reaching article, you may want to take a moment to first watch the brief discussion that Ricardo Salinas recently had with Natalie Brunell and then listen to “the money speech” reading by Robert Breedlove from Ayn Rand’s classic Atlas Shrugged. They inspired this article and will help you understand the context. Enjoy!
BROAD BRUSH STROKES
Before money — we were slaves of our environments and mother nature our master.
With imperfect money, an ever increasing supply of third party controlled gold and fiat — we unshackled ourselves from the chains of our perceived master. We rose to lofty new heights, believing ourselves the new master of our environment, usurping mother natures control over us with our superior intellect. Through our hubris and fatal conceit, we believed ourselves to be more powerful than the moon, the sun, and the stars. We came untethered from the mother that raised us, from the gravitational reality that built our backbones.
With perfected money, a permanently fixed supply of user controlled and operated bitcoin — we are taking back ownership and control of our soles and finding ourselves firmly planted on mother terra. With clear eyes, open hearts, and sharp minds, we are discovering we were never slaves to a master in the first place, but instead a small collaborative piece of a brilliant mosaic of life, where we now become the masters of ourselves. Where we know thyself, aiming not to deathly compete with the environment around us but instead to ingeniously collaborate with it, lifting all human consciousness to new sustainable long lasting heights to serve as the new baseline for an unfathomable distant future of wonder and prosperity.
GREED IS GOOD
There is nothing wrong with competition.
In fact, going further, deadly competition is always on the table as a final resort to settle disagreement and push quality and robustness to new levels.
Deadly competition is an essential pillar to ensure the enduring vibrancy of life. Sometimes our convictions must be tested in the fullest means possible beyond the bounds of words. For if there is nothing worth fighting to the death for, what is there to live for.
That said, so long as trade is not restricted, such deadly competition need not be unsheathed. It is only in the failure of maintaining free trade and in the conceit to forget of the necessity of a possibility of the final deadly resort, that we spontaneously find ourselves beyond the bounds of words, fighting for our lives.
With that in mind, it is obvious, a thriving society can be defined by the degree to which people are free to trade with one another, coupled with the degree to which every member in the society is trained in and prepared for a final resort measure. As the saying goes, it is far more useful to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.
And from that framing, we can look to the appropriate application of ones passion and desire for a better life for himself, his family, the community he lives within, and the world at large. By funneling deadly greed into action we can harness and wield the deep life spark, innate within all of us, to mold the world around us into the paradise we justly strive for and therefore deserve.
The want of money is a good and useful desire. It can fuel your greed to strive forth through all obstacles and build the cathedrals of your wildest dreams able to withstand attacks of all the nations armies for all the ages, inspiring still further creative beauty beyond our own existence.
In these end times of imperfect money, it is easy to confuse greed with malice. Our weak and broken minds are filled with statist propaganda, the same statists that live off of property stolen from us peasant consumers.
Accept that you’ve been programmed, and reason out of it. You can do it. Apply your intellect and critically think your way out of the mental slavery the statists have built within your mind.
Riches can be earned! They need not be taken.
Attention here — It is only possible to fully shift into the “greed is good” camp, if one understands that the world of imperfect money will never allow for riches to be earned.
With a money printer, riches are always taken, they are never earned, because they flow from the spigot of counterfeit. The greed for this type of wealth is a false wealth, it is out of alignment with nature, with the reality of the universe we reside within.
Greed becomes good only when the foundation of life — when the money that one measures the world around him in — is grounded in the reality that it resides within, where the forces of the universe limit it’s size through self-interested, warrior like, deadly competitive ownership.
With our feet planted firmly in a monetary network that we each individually control — that we have accepted fully no matter the consequence that may arise, be it life or death — then and only then does the environment around us become a collaborative partner which we may greedily plot and plan with, for a long term sustainable abundant and righteous future.
PRAY FOR THE CONCEITFUL
In the beginning we slaved through our existence, before we had access to money, as serf-slaves.
Some, but not all of us, have managed to claw our way up and out of the caves of darkness, from the depths of slavery, from the “developing world” and gain access to money.
For most of us in the “developed world” we have reached the land of imperfect money where we’ve evolved into peasant-consumers. We spend our time earning a broken money that we exchange for monopolized products and services in a vain attempt to improve our forsaken lives.
We are told incessantly that money is evil, that we should not be greedy and want too much, and that we should always remain agreeable to our masters, to never consider deadly competitiveness to solve what we inherently know in our hearts to be necessary. For the land of imperfect money is not aligned with reality. It is a land where we’ve lost our soles, our footing with the ground.
But then a miracle.
In a far off corner of the world, on October 31, 2008, an idea reached the minds of men and spread like wildfire.
At long last, a doorway to a sovereign world opened, and everyday more of us pour through it. A land of perfect money was founded where people shape themselves and their spirits into productive plebs. In this “developer world” although we may still spend our time earning a broken money with one foot in the “developed world” we now exchange most of that worlds imperfect money for a perfected money, for a sovereign money.
What we now understand — with this most powerful money we now control in our possession — is that a perfect money, one that is user controlled and fixed in supply, is the necessity and basis of a productive life.
Armed with perfected money we can become greedy for a good life, seeking out partners to collaborate with and coordinate long term trade strategies.
In the developed world, where imperfect money is seen, and rightfully so, by its peasant consumers as the root of all that is evil, the producer plebs of the developer world correctly understand Bitcoin to be the root of all that is good.
And while we work to become the prosperous producers of a bright orange future, let us take the time to reflect on the conceited peasant consumers, to learn from their missteps, so that we never suffer the same cannibalistic fate, so that we may pity them for they know not what they do — lost in Plato’s cave they have become.
Take some time to pray for the wayward serfs of slavery and the peasant consumers, to all the lost soles, that they may eventually find a foothold in the developer world of reality, as we strive forward passing through that great orange Bitcoin filter, from peasant consumers to pleb producers.
