Okay, but, so? Are there any alternative proposals? I've only ever heard criticism, and the few proposals had glaring holes, making it not worth the immense risk of "change." << A system where those who sell earn 400 times what they spent to produce >> Come on, everything sounds great, but where does this abominable nonsense come from? 400 times? And what about something that costs 50 cents, how much did it cost to produce, below zero? Maybe the artists only make 400 times because you pay for the idea, which has no costs. But, stop.

<<< Biodiversity! That's the key point. >>> I will inform myself, thank you.

<< Puntinicaz. This crisis is different from the others >> Ok. So…? << Oil will run out around 2020 (see Hubbert's Peak), other basic resources for development (Germanium, Zinc, URANIUM!, PLUTONIUM! (forget nuclear power plants)) will run out even sooner. >> The entities that spread the data and own the deposits are the same ones. I don’t know how reliable they are; for all we know, they could run out tomorrow or in two hundred years. Besides, there are still many small deposits that are not being exploited now because they are too small to be worth it. But when there is a real need, then it will be worth it. Beyond that, when there is a need, the major economic powers will shift from oil to hydrogen and other sources, changing only the commodity but not the seller. Anyway, the real reasons for this crisis change depending on who is writing. Some say it was a move to get the UK into the euro, some say it was a move to get the UK into the euro while simultaneously lowering the dollar to facilitate exchanges with euro regions still being developed, and others say it was a move to reduce excessive inflation of the euro, or then there are all the theories about Asia. And they all seem plausible to me, except for some that I cannot reason about due to my lack of knowledge on the subject. But certainly, the "resources" are not an immediate problem; perhaps in 50 years we will start to see some changes in the sources of energy used on a massive scale.

"Do you think it's obvious to say that the world monetary system implies crises?" Yes. For now, it's the best system we've adopted. Throwing it away is unthinkable; we can think of making small adjustments (as we're already doing) that won't cause too much immediate damage. You can't just stop the whole world at once; it's unthinkable and would lead to insane chaos. Just look at the switch from the lira to the euro in Italy; within a year, everything cost double for no apparent reason, just a mass hysteria. And we're talking about a minor issue compared to changing the world monetary system. Small, slightly painless adjustments like currency changes or similar are already heavy. Realize that you're talking about something mind-boggling where the most powerful, cunning, and fast would seize power in a split second. Think of Abramovich; he was just a fool like many others, high enough in the party for his position but in a lousy area. Once communism fell, he was just clever and fast, and within two weeks, he found himself a billionaire. And he's a piece of shit who didn't even struggle; a complete lowlife. Making changes to such massive things is easy to say, but the chaos it creates cannot even be calculated because human greed can't be quantified. And then, above all, what would you change it with?

It's not about being great or not; it's simply about analyzing the facts: he is the most powerful (and richest) man in Italy and, consequently, one of the most powerful in the world. And it’s evident that he can say whatever nonsense he wants while remaining in his position because he is now so powerful that he is untouchable. You can be an asshole, good, a creep, a big shot. But all these things can easily coincide with being powerful. And it's the power that matters in this world, unfortunately or fortunately, that's how it is. Talking about the fact that he said Obama is "abbronzato" or other bullshit that he collects because he doesn’t have to care about what he says is pointless. Bar chatter. Other politicians who thrive on words have to watch what they say; he doesn’t give a damn; it’s neither a virtue nor a flaw, it’s just a fact.

Let's take Berlusconi. Okay, he started off with a pretty significant monetary base and was born amid banking intrigues, but he's someone who never sleeps and spends his life working. He has become the most powerful man in Italy, and does whatever the hell he wants. He may not have a minute of free time and has two million commitments, but he is in command. And everyone blah blah blah blah, but he has become too powerful to be even slightly affected by the mass of couch potatoes who alternate watching Ballarò with Ballando sotto le stelle. It's possible to create new parties in Italy; it's not difficult at all. Instead of shooting crap on the internet with two thousand anti-Silvio blogs (not saying you), why don't they just start a party? They don't want to, it's too much effort.

The right thing doesn't become bullshit; the documentary becomes bullshit. The right thing is so evident that there was no need to make a documentary. The powerful command and the small fry don’t count for shit. Wow, a groundbreaking discovery. Let’s make a third part of Zeitgeist repeating this brand new concept again. The saddest point is that it has opened the eyes of many (reading scattered praises around), because it’s nice and comfortable to watch, while thinking for oneself or reading around is more tiring. Another confirmation that man's worst evil is laziness, and those who are willing to act eventually get where they want and overshadow others. Commanding has its positives, but it also brings a stress that the average lazy person will never handle. So much blah blah blah blah, then when someone has the chance to do something serious, in 99% of cases they chicken out. Do you think it’s easy to govern Italy? Most of the poor fools who only know how to criticize would shit themselves just being transport assessors of Grottaferrata's milk.

No no, minor. Minor.

It's really in the economy that the most ridiculous things were found. Utopias galore, based on the reasoning that all men are good. Sure, everyone's just so good and there's no opportunism at all. No. Regarding seigniorage, however, there are many half-truths. Everything they say is true, but if you know the context, you realize it couldn't be otherwise, on a planet populated by beings who are infamous by nature. It's like making a documentary about shit, pointing out all the negative aspects of it, and throwing out utopias like "how wonderful it would be not to poop," but you know very well that you'll keep pooping, and you're just wasting time dreaming. Instead, you could just have a laugh about your nice steaming pile of daily diarrhea because, after all, you're just passing through.

The last ones are a bit less serious, but the first ones are really serious. Ever since Karen Cuda joined, they don't seem like such a big deal to me (not that it's her fault). But the time with Corey Parks, yes, great bassist. Too bad I can't stand the Hunns; I would have gladly bought the record with her in the sink. I haven't seen this one, I wouldn't know.
