 I'm becoming more and more convinced that the number of people who fundamentally understand the root problem is basically a rounding error. Even those who understand that the money is broken, rarely understand the nature of money well enough to explain exactly how it's broken and why it matters. Which leads to them proposing "solutions" with the same embedded problems. 

 
 It’s very, very tiny. I’ve never met a person IRL that knows. Some can feel it, but absolutely scant know the solution - none that I’ve met are even proposing gold 
 Well said.
