TJ, true, it would be normal for an absurd process. Heck, look at the crazy things of the 20th century, culminating in the irrational exuberance of Y2K's biotelecosmictechdot.com boom.
<<There needs to be something like $20,000 per person, which could be achieved by gold going up in value to that price, but that would set off an absurd gold-finding economy ...>>
<yes, and what would be so abnormal about the process?>
But betting on absurd processes is not always a good idea. Sometimes people do sensible things. Unfortunately, often after they've tried everything else, and failed.
A 21st century gold rush would be confirmation to me that I really am stuck in a cage with a swarm of monkeys, with no bars between me and them. When I look at my furry arms and prehensile paws, I have more than a passing suspicion that I am, unfortunately, one of them.
