I'm just gonna post some of my musings, mainly because, as somebody mentioned in the previous thread, these topics are making me feel like a Lovecraftian character on the brink of a realization, like the descent into madness is right in front of me, while I simultaneously can't escape from seeking further.

I had a thought a few months ago about using something like bitcoin/blockchain (buzzwords) to bypass the current banking system. I ultimately became disillusioned with it because one of my professors said it didn't make any sense and I realized that I was way in over my head, but I'll post it here and maybe someone else will take it and run with it.

Who should have the ability to create currency? Banks? Governments? I say people. Take two people who don't have any money. How will they trade amongst themselves? They can barter, that's a possibility. Also, one of them can go to the bank, take out a loan, and then pay the other in a currency which they both accept. I was positing a third possibility - that those two people could create their own currency similar to bitcoin or something else, a sort of IOU record, and then that would allow them to trade amongst themselves - perhaps they could tie its value to something physical, perhaps it would float against other currencies, I don't know, I'm an idiot when it comes to that part. A currency which is tied to two people is pretty weak, but it could be expanded to communities of any size, perhaps there could be concentric circles of currencies, or various venn diagram-esque overlappings between groups ranging from the political, community, religious, etc. I wasn't really thinking about how it would be used, just that I thought people should have these sort of tools to use as they see fit, and maybe it would lead to provide a sort of competition to the current banking model.
Anyway it was a stupid idea but one that I thought might actually help people.

Are you an Aryanist/related to them/ know of them (aryanism.net / mundusmillennialis.com) perchance? That was one of the slogans they were using when I was with them. I mentioned them in the previous thread, briefly, here was an excerpt of REI's take on it, somewhere around 2014 maybe.

>"NEOREACTION", AND "ARYANISM", ARE TWO MUTUALLY OPPOSITE ASPECTS OF THE SAME SOCIOPOLITICAL FUNCTION WHICH REJECTS THE CURRENT STATUS QUO THAT IS PREVALENT IN THE "WESTERN WORLD".

>"NEOREACTION", AND "ARYANISM", ARE MUTUALLY DICHOTOMOUS AND COMPLEMENTARY; I EXPECT THAT AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE - WITHIN SIX TO EIGHT YEARS - THE MOVEMENTS BEHIND EACH IDEOLOGY WILL MUTUALLY SUBLATE AND SYNTHESIZE INTO A PERFECT SELFCONSCIOUSLY ACTIVE SOCIOPOLITICAL FORCE AGAINST WORLD ZIONISM.
