Best post i read for a long time... 😊😊😊😊😊😊😋😋😋😋😉😉😉😉
My deepest respect to you....
Monetary concept is so complex that Joseph Schumpeter says that he had great pain to understand it... Then i dont pretend to understand myself... but if what you just say is right, and it is right, what i spoke about above has nothing to do with it...Inflation is a "normal" process in the past monetary system or in our actual one, which is in his last years, like you rightfully remarked... A world wide change nowadays of the money units and systems and their basis is not caused necessarily nor is not necessarily the cause of an inflation increase... This world wide change are geopolitical in part and technological, also not only intinsically economical ...Even Nature plays a role... The hyperinflation that comes will be caused more by stupidity and greed than by necessary change...But a new monetary world is coming...A new geopolitical map too...A new technological paradise or /and hell also.... Personally i put my trust in spirituality and in nature... There is no doubts in my mind that for those who can afford to buy them there will be great deal with costly piece of gear soon... 😁 We are in the midst of a financial crisis visible for everyone after 2008, a technological digital revolution, a geopolitical earthquake, now a war, and after this pandemy an another one... I cannot imagine that the globalist heaven of an economy which is very dependant on any other part of the world will not be shattered by pandemy, wars, and climate changes...... i hope i am only one of the alleged stupid Cassendra haunting the fringe and waiting for the end of the world... But i dont think so... Then what do we do? I dont give a damn about audio gear bargain deal to come soon for sure...

It was because they were thinking about an inevitable crisis everyone think about but they were predicting the wrong thing: inflation increase... Inflation is linked to the actual monetary system.. it is part of his normal life so to speak... What is coming is not inflation but the end, accelerated by Biden and some other players , of the actual monetary system... i hope i am wrong but who knows what is better or not for humankind ?

i think you are right...

They are not at a disadvantage, in many case, it is worst they are lost... Without spiritual intuition protection, the falseties in society kill the freedom of the mind...Save for some already very strong spiritual person... In the same way before this information age we were most of us lost and more easily prey to all religious and political and economical powers ploys and manipulations ...
First: i know someone of my age that never owned a computer and trust only official TV news... He is so lost about anything that it is impossible to discuss with him about what occur in the world... He cannot BELIEVE anything because the reality is so much incredible, that the sanitized version of event and the superficial one ONLY appear rational and not too frigthening for him... I understand that myself because what i learned is so disturbing even for me... Second point... Even in this forum where most people, if not all, enjoy an internet connection the level of brainwashing expressed through these threads is so great , even among intelligent people furthermore, that i think the access to some truth is not enough... We must search for the truth, in spite and over of our own ready made opinions, to accept it .. And very few people are ready to loose their past politicial, social, psychological, economical philosophical illusions and paid the price to pay to discover and admit the truth... Truth is without mercy and it is not surprizing because truth is already silent justice in the working bench ... If justice seems absent around us, it is an illusion, truth is working already from the beginning and you can turn your back on truth but nobody has ever been able to bury it, truth ressuscitate always... Hindus called it karma...It is for me for "mathematical" reason that i believe in Christ resurrection and in our own resurrection ...The distribution of prime numbers contain all perspectival truths from the beginning to the end... It is the skeletal appearence of a universal "memory" working in and out of time....But this is another matter i will not enter into here .... 😁😊 No justice exist without truth.... And truth is eternal... The ultimate truth is love... And we are ourselves the balance between justice and love...

Yes they matter indeed... But the conceptual dymanic behind interpretation of numbers matter more... The control imposed on humanity is not well understood by the Piketty numbers only : «The richest 10% of the population now takes 52% of global income and the poorest half just 8%, it said.» It is way clearer if we put all this on a graph trees analysis... Because at the end ONLY three ou 4 nodes at the pyramidal peak control all the rest directly or indirectly...the powerful people DONT NEED TO OWN EVERYTHING nor to be the richest...Only idiots or narcissist superficial personality want to be known all around the world...Powerful man search for power not for celebrity...Their ego dont need to be assured by others at all ... Then it is worst situation than the situation depicted by Picketty in a simple linear way... All humanity is controlled by few people, an oligarchic class that cannot be reduced to wealth at all... One of the most powerful man in the planet is the technocrat director of the B.I.S. for example who is very poor compared to Gates but not less powerful and not known , ask his name even to Biden, he will stay mute...... The Blackrock investment fund financial director Larry Fink has more power than Bill Gates and he is very "poor" compared to him... «The world’s three largest asset managers (BlackRock, Vanguard, and UBS) alone control $21 trillion, roughly equivalent to the entire U.S. economy in 2017 and nearly twice as much as the entire world’s hedge fund, private equity, and venture capital industries combined.» People who think they are free now in Canada or US read comic books...We mimic marxist China social control method now , methods which were invented in the British empire anyway, and the Chinese surpassing us here nowaydays appeared to be our master in the covid crisis social control... We then imitated them or our governments under the heavy fist of the corporate lobbys imitated them and cannot wait to geolocalize our body information... Ask our friend Bill Gates...For our benefit for sure, think the comic book reader of captain America...

I take few minutes to wrote the post... This information is everywhere... And i dont like when another people call someone i know "conspirationist"... I like posting some arguments...If you prefer to call an argumewnt an exercise it is ok... If you dont like "arguments" simple one, in this case simple graphs, and the meaning of their few end nodes i apologize... But for each one his plate...I must answer sometimes to someone insulting me or another one... with no insults and WITH ARGUMENTS... If you have a counter argument in this discussion or "exercise" i will welcome it and answer it...But i answer to insult also in some case....In other case silence is the best politic... By the way i am retired and i had taken my journey in audio with passion, i made many discoveries...Acoustic being the most important one for the last 2 years...With plenty of time i answer to some here...You cannot reproach me that, i try to stay polite with humor but i am a bit heavy in english prose, i never spoke a word of english here , and i never travel a lot . Reading and music keep me glued on my seat...😁😊 My best to you...

i like your answering humor... Thanks... But once this is said it dont takes many second of search around the net to discover a simple truth: the vast majority of all ressources on earth are controlled by few... The exact numbers dont matter... for example and i dont think that drawing graphs maps are being a nut or a Q disciple : now i will help your thinking process to reduce the complexity of this map to three single point... Who do you think control the vast majority of these 10 companies who control almost all food distribution and production on earth? i will help you here.... Three major investment funds: Blackrock, Vanguard and i will let you discover the third... You must work also...And perhaps with this little exercise you will discover that all "conspiration" or all maps dont come from the imagination of Q...other nut people exist like me... 😁😊 Now to finish the demonstration... for example who control the medias in the world or the agro business or big pharmas...Ask for the maps graph on the internet...you know how to search isn't it ? Look for each maps... And at the end ask yourself what are the three big corparate financial investment tcorporations that control all of them... Answer: Blackrock, Vanguard, and i dont remember the third one and it change place each 6 months with the fourth one in controlling power anyway... Now ask yourself who owns the greatest money control part over Blackerock and Vanguard and the few others big mammoths... Very few people, so few, the list will amount to couple of hundred... They all know each other, it is not a conspiration, it is like a very friendly cartel of people, they all go to the same Swiss resort and are all invited in the same lunch after each Davos summit...You know what people organize this Davos "vacation" each year no? A clue: they are not elected people... Is it a conspiration obsession of my part in my head ? No... It is a FACT... If you think they speak about their wife and their hobby and thats all, you can...i think otherwise... I think they take our happiness at heart and dont sleep because we have all of us so big problems they can solve for us...Hyperinflation for example... For exemple a pandemy ... 😁😊 I will stop here because i dont know if you can add 1 and one equal two.... Feel free to call me a nut...I like your humor anyway ...

Philanthropy is not a solution ...Half the time philantropy is not giving but another way to takes control... Guillotine solve nothing... This is not a justice question so much ( Gates is not a monster but an intelligent egotistical idiot sorry ) than a question about education and FREEDOM of speech and PRESS and freedom of the medias from corporate censorship first ... There exist only 2 problems on earth... No it is not demography and climate change first ...For sure these 2 problems are BIG real problems.. But they could be solved "easily" by EDUCATION and FREEDOM of information if people on earth can drink clean water and eat bread and after that THINK freely ... Then the body being healthy, the mind free by education, the human consciousness can work freely to solve the problems together...
Simple to understand , hard to implement now... Why? Because 90% of the ressources are in the hand of a few people yes... But it is not the worst... The worst is these few control ALL education, all news, all medecine and agricultural method, and many people are so ignorant they negate this simple facts and call that conspirationism...And after that goes on sleeping and repeating the propaganda in their dreams.... This is the problem...Spiritual awakening and study and meditation are the ONLY solutions.. For sure If we can drink water and eat bread without a programmed world war above our head like some want to have one right now... The biggest problem at the end is that we lack the TIME to do this .... Climate changes and wars will took us away from the necessary freedom to think about solutions... My optimism then is for the very long term .... 😞
But we must stay optimist, soon people will sell their gear for peanuts to eat... 😁😊 Hyperinflation is at the corner...

I think the general offer of new tech or different designs increase with an increase in price at new pricier level never seen before for sure , but the possibility of buying a very good system with a better S.Q./price ratio is better than it ever was in the past... With each passing decades more new products are becoming more than ever a new vintage purchase possibilities for example, then even if the higher high-end products increase in price we are luckier than ever for possible buying choices of great sound at low cost... I paid 50 dollars my used Mission Cyrus box speakers...They had insanely good potential for their original mid-fi level....It is not a Fritz speakers for sure but not so far behind i am sure... I dream to buy Fritz speakers but i will live with my 50 bucks used marvel with clear bass i can feel all over the room...I cannot fault them even if better speakers exist like my past Tannoy dual gold concentric... My 400 bucks Tannoy of 1976 will be priced how much today with inflation? 2,000 bucks... It is the price of the Fritz speakers or near it... But there exist nowadays over 100,000 bucks priced models with way less equivalent products offered at a comparable stratospheric price level in the past , the audiophiles basin was not the same anyway in numbers across the world nor the audiophiles were the same species either...It is a darwinian evolution of the customers basin with time and the environmental technology pressure on him...

With Trudeau insane laws about speech and terrorist laws we canadians are more brainwashed than ever with no more freedom...A canadian free press did not exist...And medecine is decided NOT by the patient and a free doctor but by unelected international institution or worst imitating US corporate powers dictum and the like of Fauci... Are we myopic like Americans ? alas! i think so, because we elected him...It was not so mucj like this decades ago... It is so true that a conservative ex prime minister like Brian Peckford, who is the last surviving minister who signed the new constitution of the country appear NOW with his "common sense" like a REBEL banned of all official medias and organize a just lawsuit against the stupid actual government...He is my new hero... A vestigial remain of a time who even politicians with whom we could disagree were anyway the FREE owner of a working brain... I am nostalgic of Kennedy, Einsewnhower, De Gaulle, and of the half good part of Churchill... 😁😊

I dont understand your post answer....Your claim is so general it means nothing...You live with the "myth" of central banking idea, i speak about the reality of central banking now...
This article is interesting: The Death of the Central Bank MythFor decades, monetary policy has been treated as technical, not political. The pandemic has ended that illusion forever.

You are right ...BUT....
When fractional reserve banking was rational and not influenced by financial powers behind banking activity ...And there is many type of fractional banking of money, for example one backed by gold, one backed by energy, one backed by nothing .... And something could be motivated by greed and power WITHOUT being criminal but being irrational or being an illegitame attempt to comply with greed demand in financial circle... like in the case of the repeal of the Glass-Steagal act by Clinton policy... For exemple the abolition of the separation between investment bank and commercial bank and his link to the financial crisis of 2008... I cite wikipedia here : «Weissman agrees with Stiglitz that the "most important effect" of Glass–Steagall "repeal" was to "change the culture of commercial banking to emulate Wall Street’s high-risk speculative betting approach. »
And Goethe in his analysis of John Law concept of money in the Second Faust, was not an accusation about "criminality" but about blind irrationality of a fractional money concept back by the wind... And it is impossible to understand central bank complex system without reading about their history...

We think the same... In a time crisis, there is no more a natural reequilibration of forces, this is why it is called a crisis...... For a rare moment in time history we live through multiple crisis at the same time on different level... For example in the last two world wars there was no global climate change problems at the same time, or an acute global economical crisis world wide at the same time and a sudden INCREASING of a global scale of the wide disparities of income between people, and no gobal water crisis at the same time, no global energy crisis at the same time , and no global agricultural landmasses lost by destruction of the soil at the same time etc ....No decreasing conservation of the natural untouched part of the earth like antartica, the tropical forests, etc And the irrationality of our banking system and money conception was NOT SO MUCH EVIDENT at this time either ...Now it is evident for all people not only for a few economists and is a part of the global crisis...There is also a global lost of confidence and trust crisis...Religions did not play anymore the same role and cannot by itself alone maintain the "sanity " of the mass or keep them in some controlled state... For example between 1900 and 1960 there was a decreasing in poverty world wide... This trend was maintained stable after that for some deecades... Now it is the reverse there is an increasing poverty...And the reason are multiple... This is the occurrence of this many problems at all levels that constituted the crisis... Man is deracinated from the tree of life, it is now only a machine whose parts we can recreate or sell....It is also a part of the global crisis...Transhumanism is a symptom of the excessive pride of some part of the " elite" of humanity, the rich one for sure, a new specialized cult for the lucky few... There was a general improvement on many count in the last century, yes, in spite of all obstacles, but it is on a halt now, it is why it is called a global crisis.... Gates think we are too much people, i think that the disparity between poor and rich is the world problem, not demography itself... With education demography is no more a problem....Then instead of global vaccination it is perhaps better to pay for bread and water and education...But it does not give any return profit for sure to the "benefactor"... I am optimist for AFTER this passing testing crisis for humanity....I am not optimist for now.... 😁😊

Very great observations and particularly these:
But now we lived through the passage to a single power and a single monetary and financial systems to many powers geopolitically and to some UNKNOWN money and financial revolutions to come... Incertain time indeed... This is why it is a time where we look for a new balance between what is normal and consistent and what appears to be abnormal to some "conspirationists nuts" or to some "enligtened thinkers " also, like a cancer, an abnormal growth which some others "sane" but sometimes superficial observers want to continue to call perfectly "normal" state .... In a crisis there is no more fluent consistency between states of the system ...The crisis is the gradual lost of the habitual equilibrium norm and consistency... At the end of Rome, the romans lost their consistency and equilibrium of power between the senate way and the emperor way before barbarian incursions...This apply today...In banking and finance also and geopolitically alike... A world famine now lurk at the horizon, a famine which is an artificial creation by the immaturity of humankind... What is a poor? Someone who cannot eat or drink or work ... For some years now the poors whom habit the world benefit less and less in this crisis time... An articicial inducely created crisis not by a global conspiration, but by the stupidity of a multiple numbers of egoistic conspirations like a serpent raise his head ... Between chaos and a global totalitarian control, i wanted true democracy free from corporate lobbying of all kind... We dont have it in Canada at all, now less than ever... And i dont see it anywhere now....Even the appearence of democracy are losing more and more ...Only subsist some degree of totalitarian fascism around the world...Fascism being a collusion between the corporations and state...

My bad! i apologize to the readers...But how do you do that? I have not realized this inconvenience.... Thanks....

For the higher price of gear i dont give a damn...Speakers may cost less than a tuna can soon....This global crisis is not ended... 😁 A war or hyperinflation is our choice now , what else? Is this not the evident proposed PROGRAMMED alternatives in the news? I myself will not upgrade and dont need to.... Acoustic COST peanuts... Only much fun time to tune a room... Then dont look at inflated price of gear buy an acoustic book and begin experiments... No cost... I used junk material myself...And my low cost system is not so far way behind ANYTHING at ANY price i ever listened to, thanks to acoustic science...The greatest HUGE upgrade come from learning acoustic method not from a new speakers or dac or anything else in most case.... And dont vote for left or right corrupted politicians....Dont listen TV and dont read official news...Buy books.... 😁😊 «House without books is a cavern with no windows»-Anonymus Smith «I never buy books i borrow them from my friend»-Groucho Marx 🤓

And this very serious article will give to you the REASON why inflation tool are the main tool of central bank and their way to make the poor paying for the debt accumulated by the financial ponzi scheme of the rich people and the catastrophic politic of most politician corrupted by lobbies of big corporations ..... It is not Bill Gates who will pay for the hyperinflation crisis it is you and me...Thanks to the global Ponzi and fiscal evasion... By the way this author is not neo nazi... Anti semitic? i dont know ... 😁😊 I will cite the conclusion : «. It also makes clear that, once the mystique of the balance sheet is taken away, the choice facing a central bank during a crisis is a familiar one: to inflate or not.»
| |
This one article about the PONZI financial global scheme did not come from the neo nazi either.. Educate yourself... The writer teach economy in London... Then some MUST refrain themselves by ignorance to insult others members of this thread with neo-nazi or anti semitic scapegoating or strawman accusation here...

No, and Pierpont -Morgan was a very kind uncontrolling man.... 😁😊 All other opinions are neo nazi one for sure.... And there is NO RELATION between the actual world health crisis and money and no relation at all with the three biggest financials corporations in the world... Saying that is being a neo nazi.... I will not say it at all .....

Mixing irrationally antisemitic stance even with Hitler "extract" against jews with world economy and Central Banks will not change a reality that has nothing to do with the Jewish people...There is no infiltration of skinheads here save for comic book reader... By the way the first Central Bankers meeting were created to force and planned for Germany payments for the first world war immediately after it...This has nothing to do with the Jews... Are you one comic book reader?
Goethe was one of the first to analyse the Ponzi scheme and the hyperinflation crisis behind fiat money in the "second Faust".... He criticize John Law the English man behind fiat money not the Jews....It is not Mein Kempf here but the second Faust and the I.Q. of some neo nazi and Goethe are not the same...
By the way are these authors in this article i proposed as an example of serious people equating Bank politic with Ponzi , picked on the internet, are they also neo-nazi? For some superman or marvel comic book fans here perhaps... But for intelligent men they are not... The Guggenheim group cited in this article here control 340 billions in asset are they neo-nazi? it is ONLY an example...Of serious people criticizing some hyper inflative stupid politic behind central banks at particular moment in times like nowadays.... Go out of marvel comic book .... Start to read...Not the New-york times or any other Us newspapers... Guess why? No not because they are owned by the jews but because they are own by three multinational corporate investing groups...Like big pharma...

The banking system is by definition a conspiracy against the very notion of what money could be : a concrete map of the cycle of goods creation, from their creation to their recycling destruction... The trick was to make a map with an apparent value higher than reality itself....Simple mathematics help much here.... Money is about to be nowadays more than ever a universal anonymus enslavement instead of a personal liberation... And zombies think that no conspirations exist for sure because they sleep on their own for sure ...
Similarly people are brainswashed about new products publicity and forget about mighty low cost acoustic knowledge and devices... Is it a conspiracy? 😁😊 Yes AND no.....

Has the cost of Hi-Fi gotten a bit too much ? Yes less than butter and less than the stupidity of politicians around Occidental world in general... How is it? When someone paint himself in a corner you have it.... ----By the way there is NO universal conspiracy... One of the law of stupidity is that «Stupid people are those
----But there exist many colliding conspiracacies... because there is another law of stupidity that define «Bandits being those who http://www.cantrip.org/stupidity.html
----- the two other categories of people are for Carlo Cipola: «Helpless people or well intentioned one, who And: «Intelligent people The book of Cipolla is the best about stupidity....50 pages...Free to read.... 😁😊
I will add some intelligent " bandits" become stupid by themselves with time because their goal makes them blinds to others goal, and at the end make them "stupid" in spite of their apparently working brain... This is the case of political leaders in declining civilization and political empires... They paint themselves in a corner BECAUSE of the way their intelligence focus ONLY on their short term interest...

Great post! i concur....

First: i believe in Helmholtz acoustic method , even if i myself created my own tweaks also at NO COST...But my main acoustic grid devices are Helmholtz devices, PURE SCIENTIFIC DEVICE IN ACOUSTIC.... And like i already said all "tweaks" dont make a method even if they work and some work because i experiment them , BUT tweaks dont replace and will never replace proper acoustic/psycho-acoustic science and acoustic devices control ... This is what i said if you read my posts... Second: If you dont see many corporates worldwide conspiracies now behind "politics" you need help... Ask help from your children years school teacher it will be enough ... 😁😊Or buy books... Third : putting people who advocate any "tweak" in the same bag with some alleged deluded conspirationist, this category exist for sure, is borderline trolling INSTEAD of thinking.... Is it clear?

Anyone making this sophistic assimilation resemble more to a troll than to a benevolent poster.... Raising cables from the floor, which i dont do anyway , has nothing to do with the B.I.S history for example .... But i am sure that at your level of thinking you dont have a clue about B.I.S. history for example...Bank of international settlements...Or Blackrock...
Who confuse the corner where he painted himself into with truth? A clue: it is not your neighbour sometimes no..... Think by yourself and dont put all people you dont like in the same bag for the sake of labelling them and insulting them ... Sarcasm is not always an intelligence sign... Benevolence is a better sign on the long run ....Try it....
| |
By the way i try to not classify all people in a thread in the same bag...It is better to let bags empty and try to understand each other on INDIVIDUAL terms.... There is not ONLY " drivel in this thread", sorry....The only reason why someone can say this is because he does not know what a mirror was created for...Not to admire our own face but to look in our eyes what we cannot see in the eyes of others...The beam and the straw... i have never see or read an entire thread constituted by dodderers or drools only.. there is different people NEVER only dodderers ...I prefer to speak to ONE individual and not declared all people in a thread only dodderers .... The only dodderers are those who confuse their map with reality... Listening to others perspective and discussing sincerely is important, discussing with pugnacious quality is OK if we treat each other well... ... I apologize but i feel that i had to say that... | |
I was alluding to an EVIDENT trend in inflation not to a specific date....
By the way thanks for your more than generous appreciation of me....

Finance is like Audio very complex to understand at FIRST sight ! A field of science or an aspect of life are always difficult to understand but way less if we replace MANY complementary perspectival views on reality by a singular inforced MAP ... This is what is the central banking system... His modern incarnation after the foundation of the B.I. S. is understandable easily if we know that...
In audio the many necessary perspectical views on audiophile experience was focused and conditioned by technology progress for good reasons yes, but way more importantly by gear marketing INSTEAD of acoustic/psycho-acoustic (A./P.A.)science investigation in most audio threads... Here also the electronical design map fetichism was hiding sound reality A./P.A. experience in the consumers mind ... | |
Spot on post ! Thanks very much.... Free speech is dying not by being erased so much or directly forbidden every where like in Soviet or China more like being cornered in a box and counter attack by Strategically systematic encompassing controls in all publishing spaces......And sometimes by irrational and self destructive laws like in Canada where even speech is constrained... Even in audiogon forums, members are erased from existence WITHOUT explanation like my friend oldhvymec was.... No traces.... No recourse it seems....No explanations... And perhaps i could understand in some way why M.C. was erased but why this humorous poster like the old mechanic could have been banned and for what undisclosed motives ? No answers... Perhaps i will be banned too? 😁
No respect for human being everywhere in North -America despite the pretense to BE the free world...It is tragically untrue now ar at least way less true then it was in 1945.....I will not argue with mature adults acting like "children" who will contradict this visible evidence... The king has no clothes anyway... What we see is an increasing way toward a more controlling society with a conditioning of individuals meeting and classified in crowds with many conflicting flags... Power divide to reign indeed...Simple Macchiavellian rule... The best trick is to make a slave who want and dream to be one at all cost, like in Orwell and in Mandeville books...

To answer this thread the cost of hi-fi has never increased like the prize of butter in Canada.... From 3 dollars few years ago to 9 canadian dollars at regular price.... Then..... Hifi is cheap compared to butter.... For most of us.... Some here dont even know the cost of butter....Anyway wait a few months and you will discover deals in hi-fi used section....Guess why? 😁 |
