Eat Bugs!

The analysis of why the elitescum want everyone else to eat bugs is fair enough and fairly simple.

The solution, that somehow a "free market" Bitcoin would help open distribution pathways seems to miss the point.

All the calculations are making an error in buying into the fundamental philosophical premise that life - all life - is just a selection of different physical machines.

This is the same miscalculation that allows synthetic chemicals to pollute almost all the land. The con is that yields do rise at first, but only temporarily, until the soil's own organic ecosystem has been so destroyed that it needs a few years to become fertile again. This is the trap most farmers find themselves in, and small farmers cannot afford to go back to having land lie fallow and regenerate.

The idea of a "free market" has always struck me as a mirage - not unlike "decentralisation" in crypto. Adding the word "free" to the word "market" can take many forms. Pretending that this comes as a regulation-free market is a misunderstanding of history. We already live in the consequence of a "free market" - it spawns cartels and monopolies and control. That's it. The irony is that a "free market" requires regulators who intervene to attempt to stop monopolies. This too has failed as the power of corporations has led to agency capture of the regulators - in every sphere.

The solution needs to start at the base concepts - a new humanism would be a start. Then "free markets" would be expressions of freedom of choice, and regulations that limit such freedoms should be repealed. But, as above, we've been here before, with such freedoms including the freedom to do harm. We really are a sad fuckin species. Most people seem all too ready to see themselves as machines - depressing and dumb.
