So there's a saying that the value of real estate will never go down, because population is increasing and there will never be more land.
That statement has a few caveats that are never mentioned.
One: Population may not always increase. Has anyone done a study on housing prices after the 1918 Spanish flu?
Two: Valuations are not the same as true value. There are many illusory things floating around this world.
Three: Never trust a corporate banker.
Yeah, everyone wants their piece of the American dream and thinks it's going to happen because of a great job they got or a new person they met or their beautiful new baby.
The American "dream" requires community, sacrifice, incessant effort.
A dream where some privileged people keep the spoils is no community in any legitimate sense.
There are few vectors towards unhinging this shingle. It will take a deep analysis to bridge.
Intelligence must become self-conscious, realise its own power, and, on a global scale, transcending functions that are no longer appropriate, dare to exercise it. History will not overthrow national governments; it will outflank them. The cultural revolt is the necessary underpinning, the passionate substructure of a new order of things. — Alexander Trocchi
