It's clown world, everything is upside down, it's the lost episode of the twilight zone

And, something tells me it has everything to do with what is done with the world's currency/currencies/"money"

Essentially it boils down to the fact that bad behaviors are rewarded, what should have died doesn't, what should have prevailed, doesn't. Wrong incentives are sent from the top of the system, from central banks, and from the central bank of the central banks in a nutshell.

Too big to fail, and bail outs at the expense of tax payers are an example of that, socialization of losses privatization of profits typically, QE (printing press) to infinity... That's examples of immorality/bad behaviors unpunished/encouraged/rewarded. And it ultimately leads to NIRP, negative interest rate policy, which is fancy words for savers being punished for saving essentially

And it gets reflected at every fucking level IRL. As a result, immorality/immoral behaviors, get rewarded. And virtue, punished. The power tends to end up more often in the wrong hands on a day to day basis, that's the end result.

As if, currency debasement, because that's what it boils down to ultimately, debased everything else including morality ultimately

Or maybe it's just the other way around idk

It's hard to describe

>In this article Mises is critical of two government interventions, price fixing in grain and currency debasement which according to him killed the incentive for farmers to grow grain for sale on the market. This led to the disintegration of cities and reduced the scope of specialization in the Roman economy.

Sort of that

Oh I fully agree. In humanities attempt to "grow" and "learn", we've failed to realize that our advancements are encouraging the very behavior which is destroying us. Sadly, in the face of stunning technological advancements, especially those which "make our lives easier/more comfortable", no one bothers to look to the long-term impact of such advancements.

A simple example is the advent of prescription lenses. Without them, those with vision issues die off, as they cannot compete against those with perfect vision. Instead, we have a society of increasinly visually impaired individuals, because they are able to live on and promulgate their poor genes.

The above example is a microcosm of the larger issue, much of which you previously stated. Often what humanity deems as "good" is not actually condusive to a long, healthy, and fufilling lifestyle. More often, what we deem as "good" is what makes us feel good in the moment, and nothing more. T.S. Eliot depicts the end result of this trajectory quite well in The Hollow Men...

Not with a bang but a whimper.
