Ron, to me here is what you are doing.

you say 1 + 1 = 2
which we all accept (and no games like asking which base used)
ok, so we both can put down stuff to agree upon
but you then say I am wrong and you are right
but here is where you leave the discussion and go into Ron Land
why ?
because there you have created as correct your stuff
there, not here

(example, and on topic)

<<"harsh discipline" of gold prevents ... as we have the potential to do>>

yes yes yes
but no I did not do a 2 step
once again,
to prevent dumb and misguided and bad people from screwing up
as it pertains to people living and working together so all have it better
needed is a way to prevent screw-ups
and until you tell of a better way than the gold standard
its all we got
and in todays world with high technology its needed most
that old rusty corroded gold standard has outlived it life
and especially now that man knows better who to put money wrench in it
that its replacement is needed
but the very reason why its needed is the force to kill gold
and replace it with something that does not control
.
<<Everything about money is psychological>>

Is a very dangerous thought.

imagine earth has only about 25 people
those of us on this thread
no money or precious metals
just raw materials and our abilities for fodd and shelter
and so we stabilize to exist ok
and now we want to increase what we have
as in transportation, etc
so we product products and services
ok
no money yet
barter has to happen
but money needed
none exist yet
how to do it
a bank = ?
start from the beginning
and then add in down the line
one of us is a criminal and lier and bad person
ok, law and court made
but what about dishonest and misguided actions for money system
need a way to disclose it
or prevent it = ? = for money = ?
