š¦¾ Stocks, Inflation, & 100-acres
Melius Humano,
Inflation has been around 7% historically (which is manipulated, so itās possible itās even higher). It's also increasing as the debt and house of cards in the global financial market, with trillions in derivatives and other paper assets," get more expensive to prop up.
As Americans, we donāt feel it as much in America because we export our inflation to the rest of the world. (Though the lower economic classes def feel it.)
The poor farmer in Africa gets his hands on American dollars. Then, each time the FED prints money, his dollars are worth less. And we get to benefit from some of that theft while the richest benefit the most. Think of it as inflation insulation.
Those at the top that own mostly assets benefit while while the lower and middle-class non-asset owners are hurt the most, which includes Americans and the rest of humanity since the dollar is the world reserve currency.
Itās trickle down inflation. See also The Cantillon Effect.
Now consider the stock market has historically returned about 7% as an average.
This means if you were to buy the S&P index, you broke-even, lost a little, or made a little. Then thereās management fees, corporate taxes, cap gains taxes on your earnings, and other Wall Street shenanigans that further makes owning stocks a likely losing scenario for the average person that doensāt have some insider edge.
Thatās not to say you canāt make money with stocks. It just might not be as simple as buying the index and forgetting it, the way so many financial gurus today tell you to do.
You might be better off buying a few of the tech monopolies for as long as they have their advantage. Then watch closely. Or maybe you should just invest in yourself, a small business, or some other asset you can control? Or maybe just buy Bitcoin? Or maybe do a bit of each of these, including stocks? Thatās for you to figure out. (Not financial advice)
The point is that you canāt rely on Wall Street propaganda about the historical results of the US stock market as if thatās going to remain the same in the future. Especially in the digital age and now that itās normalized for United States government to print 7 trillion dollars overnight in response to a āglobal pandemic.ā
Who knows what the next global ācrisisā is going to be that will give the state an excuse to print trillions. š¤·š»āāļø
Weāre going to have one, we know that, and when we do, the state will take actions to intervene, because thatās it always does. The top will benefit and everyone else will pick up the tab, figuratively and literally.

Humans are mismatched
This is the greatest issue for our species.
Our ancestors spent 100% of their lives outside.
Modern humans spend 90%+ of their lives inside.
This is jus one of many ways we are "mismatched" to the modern environment.
Our biology is designed for the wild, yet we live in manufactured environments.
How else are we mismatched?
"The meaning of life is to give life meaning."
I think our greatest challenge as modern humans is meaning.
Automation gives us so much of our time back.
That extra time manifests as an actualization problem.
So we jump from dopamine high to high. But over time it wears off.
Iām 38.
Lately, joy and excitement are hard to come by.
I donāt know the answer other than to keep going.
To not force.
To accept.
This is still the goal ā 100+ acres of like-minded humans living together intentionally

What if life is now
What if your life is this moment.
What if the moment is all you ever get.
Will you keep spending it day dreaming about the future and living in the past?
