I notice a giant trend of new, throwaway, accounts quipping on here and on reddit about inflation. First order botting/targeting, or second order side-effects of shills hit by first order on another site?
We have fostered a culture where it's not safe to hold controversial opinions under your own name. I don't think the inflation issue is sensitive enough where I am so I can come out and say that current US inflation policy is dreadful and will come to roost, but I would never give an opinion that I think could be used against me on my main account anywhere anymore.

I don’t bother with Bitcoin; you think I have any faith in cellar dwelling computer nerds? I gots a masters, I know elastic structures. What do I need other math nerds for?
In the end they’d turn to the same old nation state for a bailout.
Y’all want to work on your art projects, fine. I see no reason to industrialize confirming mathematics operators still work.
Because you think you noticed a trend it means the first abstraction that pops into your head.
Sure, that’s how it works.
I’ve noticed a trend of people good at abstraction believing they know the state of all particles that ever were and ever will be, use emotional language to make routine cognitive moments giant feeling.
