Re: Tangled Up Hypotheticals
That's pretty common in Club Christian. The CoE is apostolic and catholic yet it would be hard to make a case that Henry VIII was pro-Pope even though the title still used by the British Royal Family of 'Defender of the Faith' actually originated when Henry helped put down some North European Protestant movements. But of course, that was before the conflict of calendars; the problem of the calendar involving political communication and negotiation conflicting with the fixed and unmovable biological calendar.

Re: Tangled Up Hypotheticals
Phat, I've presented what is actually written in the Bible to you over and over and over and over and over again.
You refuse to retain anything anyone has presented to you.
Where is the evidence that you are simply willfully ignorant?
If you were an idiot there might be some excuse.

You often say that "we will get the world that we want" but I highly doubt anybody wants this.
And that is a great summary of the problem.
The fact is that people, particularly the Christian Cult of Willful Ignorance and Deceit want.
You what.
But what is missing is any evidence that the Christian Cult of Willful Ignorance and Deceit want to do the work to get what they want.
The issue is that a very large percentage of our population both in the US and worldwide will not choose to do the work needed.
What the want is "Holy Jeeves".

Re: Steering Back Towaards The Topic
Phat, learn the basics. It's obvious that you still have no idea what 'Fiat Money' is or even what money is.

What the Fed and the world seem to need to learn again is that humans cannot simply will the value of money through common agreement.

In today's world of banking, it is still the gold that directly or indirectly sets the bar for the value of the dollar...not the other way around. You will see this soon enough.
And it's really stupid statements like that that we all hear from you constantly.
There is zero evidence that gold directly or indirectly sets the bar for the value of the dollar any more or less than any other commodity.
And the ONLY thing that determines the value of money is common agreement as you have been shown numerous times.
If you honestly actually could read what you yourself included in your post you would see examples of just that, of human agreement setting the value of money.
But you refuse to learn how to read.

For a long, long time it was not gold but salt.
For a long time it was not salt but incense.
For a long time it was not incense but tobacco.
For a short time it was tulips.

Re: Maybe You Want To Share The Wealth
Phat, once again you are simply showing that you are totally ignorant when it comes to almost every subject including money.
The Quora passage is simply utterly stupid and created to impress those who are unwilling or incapable of thinking.
Step back and explain why the Quora passage is simply utterly stupid and created to impress those who are unwilling or incapable of thinking.
