Some say it doesn’t exist. That it’s a myth. I, for one, always believed.

In fractional reserve banking, money and debt are not a one to one ratio as your post suggested. It’s often a 9 to one or more. Many countries don’t even have reserve requirements. After 2008, one big change was creating contingent capital to hold banks accountable. That is, in the event of losses they can’t pay back due tonexcessive risk taking, they pull from bank stock and convert to funds to repay debts before governments bail them out.

As to how much money in the world?
Not sure if anyone has a good grip on that as each country has their own systems, what counts as money, etc…

It’s probably easier and somewhat accurate to say there is infinite money. We just make as much as we need, on demand.

No windows 10 left in the house.
Mint, Debian. Dual Boots are now all off. Couldn’t be happier. It was a pain getting everything setup correctly, but wow. I love having an OS that only does what I tell it.

Is it fashionable? Or just more common than we think?

…or mildly so. It’s an imperfect system with no fractional voting. It’s our burden to bare.

Thanks! Very helpful. Maybe he is a cook, or values his celebrity over his science. Wouldn’t be the first sellout.
- Comment on References: [1] out of his ass 2 weeks ago:
That’s a tad vague. Who said the quote?
“Never shall two scientists of the same trade meet, but the conversation ends in a fight over semantics and one-upmanship.”
It was probably me, but I’m paraphrasing here.
- Comment on References: [1] out of his ass 2 weeks ago:
How so?

Can be? Sure. But is he? No.
- Comment on References: [1] out of his ass 2 weeks ago:
Not a kook. Legit scientist. He has a PhD in theoretical physics, not a theoretical PhD in physics. While is spends a lot of time as a science communicator, he has his bona fides.
Yes, it’s all just theories and intuition like all nascent science.

I think he is more famous as Dr. Bashir than Sudanese Royalty. How many would you recognize on the street? (Or in a plane as it were.)

My ST “Fandom in the Wild” claim to fame was that I met Siddig on a flight once. He was sitting right behind me and I never new. After we landed, and everyone gets up and opens the overhead compartment to grab their stuff, I get clobbered in the head with somethings that fell out; one of the articles bounced off my head and landed on the floor, the other came to rest on my head after a decent thump. It was by all accounts a good clobbering.
I am never a happy flyer at the best of times. My face must have worn a pretty grumpy expression and a bombastic stink eye because as I looked up with an article still resting on my head to confront my unwitting assailant I see Siddig apologizing profusely.
My face went from grumpy> confusion> recognition> delight. I said “Oh, it’s you.” And made a hand wave gesture to say “think nothing of it”. Then grabbed the article, gently hit myself in the head with it while wearing a big smile, handed it back to him and said “For you? Anything.” I could see the relief on his face as he went from concerned apologetics to relief that all was well. Then quietly grabbed my bag and left.

Depends on the bees. Bumble bees and honey bees are beebros. If you’re a bro they will know, and be your bro.
If they are “killer bees”. They gonna “fuck yo shit up” no matter what. That door glass won’t protect you for long.
