It's about money. Everything is about money. We behave like pigeons following a trail of breadcrumbs. There's no truth; there are narratives and there are counter-narratives; it all comes down to one big pile of money pushing against another big pile of money. Without money, truth doesn't even get a seat at the table.
Given enough money and time, you could make people do anything and believe anything. Anyone who doesn't bend to the will of big capital will be made irrelevant.
That's why it's absolutely critical that we have a sound monetary system.

Bitcoin pls? >Given enough money and time, you could make people do anything and believe anything. Anyone who doesn't bend to the will of big capital will be made irrelevant. I think this is a lot less human than you make it out to be. I looked up BP largest shareholder. Some conglomerate owned 0.6% of the company. So... its more like economics rather than different people with bags of money.
