Love you guys just after watching your video. The opposite of Human Swarm Intelligence is Mass Formation Psychosis, or something akin to it. I think you are demonstrating that within a properly moral and ethical framework something that can be powerfully destructive can be turned into something powerfully constructive. It is so true, as evil is nothing more than a perversion of the good. It can’t create anything. One more thought about “corruption”. The fuel if not the engine for nearly all of the institutional and global corruption we have seen has been money. Good people have been willing to divert their gaze in the face of evil because of money and its stable mates prestige and power. The corruption of money was a prerequisite to the corruption of the world. It appears that you guys get this. Cryptocurrencies can and do address part of the problem, but not all of it. Money must never be created, it must always be earned. And governments must never, ever be allowed to print money.

I will end this conversation with one last try at my failed attempts to get my point across. It is this: Money has a corrupting influence on human nature. It doesn’t matter whether you are atheist, communist, Christian, Muslim or libertarian. Money can corrupt you if you weren’t corrupt already. It has happened throughout history. Now we have many Trillions of dollars in circulation, much of it originating from corrupt practices and coming from corrupt sources. Many good people have been corrupted by it in ways that would not have otherwise been possible. I used doctors as an example. They caved because of money and prestige. If their money and prestige had not been at stake they most likely would not have caved. They would have stood up for ethical medical practice. But threaten to take away their beautiful home, their children’s private school education, their membership in the yacht club and their country club, and maybe even the gleam in their adoring wife’s eye, and they will look the other way in the face of the greatest medical genocide in history. Money did that. Yes they were human to start with, but the variable we are talking about is money.
I’ll quit on a a couple of verses from the Bible: “The love of money is the root of all evil” (1st Timothy 6:10) and “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”(Matthew 6:13)
Brien, You know that money, of itself is not the problem. The "fuel and the engine" has been the age old human weaknesses. Never just one, the whole gamut to choose from. We are the answer and the problem.
If you’ve ever raised a child you know that the child is the problem. But you raise it up in the way it should go, nevertheless.
I can’t remove the person, or undo the Fall. But I can take the money away, or I can shut down the Central Bank, the money printer(like Milei is doing in Argentina).
It is the love of money that is the root of all evil, is it not. What you are saying is that if I take the money away the “love” remains, that it will go somewhere else. Perhaps so, but that somewhere just might not cause all the mischief that all this money has. That is my bet. Totalitarianism ends up needing a lot of cash.
These billionaire oligarchs, the would be totalitarians, could not have done this without a great deal of money, more of yours and mine than of their own. The money comes first.
The world could not have been corrupted like it has been without the corrupting influence of money. This regardless of ideology or mindset.
If a doctor thinks he’s going to lose his job if he speaks up about medical malpractice, he might just look the other way. 97% of doctors did so in the past 4 years. They looked the other way because they put money and prestige(inseparable bedfellows) before ethics and moral uprightness. It wasn’t about a political mindset. It was about money. That is how money corrupts so many.

Well of course
If you’ve ever raised a child you know that the child is the problem. But you raise it up in the way it should go, nevertheless.
I can’t remove the person, or undo the Fall. But I can take the money away, or I can shut down the Central Bank, the money printer(like Milei is doing in Argentina).

Totalitarianism needs a lot of unconsiousness, and willing subjects to comply, then comes the cash.
Disagree
These billionaire oligarchs, the would be totalitarians, could not have done this without a great deal of money, more of yours and mine than of their own. The money comes first.
We are so close; How did those billionaire oligarchs get their money and why? The mindset came first and then the money.
Not on the same page I’m afraid.

But why did the doctors cave, money or lack of consciousness? Money in some form has always existed, trade etc. Fear is the big boogie man.
