Stephen, for sure Medium has some issues.
Hopefully they’ll notice when folk try to provide user experience feedback.
No worries on the bot wordplay, I enjoy playing with it too :)
On public awareness and feedback;
The collective awareness as far as I can tell, is loss of trust.
We realise that every agreement we ever saw between humans is at best tenuous, and at worst, cynical.
We should probably credit the most blatant criminals in power for revealing this to us.
Where you and I might agree, is we see the reason for this failure to be able to trust any agreement, as being due to the warp presence of profit/slavery.
If we could remove the latter, perhaps trust could be regained, including that needed to implement and maintain your 1.25% rule.
But before that, we have to arrive at a scenario of things actually working without trust.
We need to remove all requirements for agreements of any kind.
What is needed instead, is an understanding of all people of what value actually means, affecting the things that should be done to add value to the world we share, and an equal ability of all people to reward one another for outstanding contributions towards that end.
I think this understanding is the thing in progress.
After that is achieved, we will see that it is not required that all exchanges must be two way.
Money really can become something that flows, continuously generated, from source to all consumers.
I have explored and shown how that can work, as surely as the flow of anything physical works. It is exactly like energy, and is even directly replaceable, by energy, which at some point it will logically, literally become, for the benefit of all.
In that analysis, we see that amassed capital becomes an accumulation of energy, which is unnatural, serving no purpose in our perception of value.
Therefore, large stores of gold, bitcoin etc. become valueless, except where the those act as balasts, in the supply of energy / money, to large projects.
We see this reflected in the values of gold vs money in the markets, which is where people show what they see has value.
The price of gold is not accumulating, per the predictions of the hoarders, much as they would like it to, because in reality, it is not as useful as cash.
Nor is the price of cash dropping, as they would like it to, because it is useful, people will continue to value it highly in markets.
So, the ideas of money, and the markets, are changing, to become something very different in the future, something much more useful, and far more valuable.
That is why we should believe in free money.
Besides, now they have no choice but to keep issuing it, to avoid folk becoming homeless and starving in the streets of the countries they are supposed to manage.
