Wonderful, Calle and Danny! And, privacy is crucial not just to avoid knots in your gut, but also for our prosperity, thriving-- & even possibly the very SURVIVAL of our species (not to mention all the otherspecies we share this marvellous planet with!) Asteroids and supernovae abound all around this small blue dot. We need to VASTLY advance our technological prowess, so we hopefully can detect them, b4 they- or their radiation- finds us!

When my bank froze my account and required me to provide all my personal information to a random person working from home with babies and dogs in the background, all in the name of "protecting" me, I knew I was f'd.

FASCINATING interview, Vlad! Particularly interesting that Dr Werner seems to be fine with the Austrian Rx of sound money 4 the BASE Layer, & that doesn't preclude a more 'elastic' money on a layer above. But as he says, the 'elastic one must only be for 'productive' purposes.

    FANTASTIC rip!!! Wisdom beyond compare! Mel & Marty should be Senior White House Advisors, continuing the multi-Pres tradition of the late, highly-respected Harald Malmgren. And while we're at it, let's add Harald's daughter Dr Pippa Malmgren, and 1 more stellar public affairs person to this dream team: Doomberg! As just 'advisors', they won't have to ruin their private lives wallowing in the pigpen of political office-seeking
