 95% of the Western Economy is based on Irrational Fear

And, you wonder: Why is it so difficult to have a rational interaction and hold a rational conversation with someone 
 And, if you think the #Bitcoin Economy is free from this problem, you're dead wrong

Fear is the biggest selling point

 I wouldn’t blame it solely on the economy, despite it being a significant factor. I would attribute it mainly to the postmodern idealism that has engulfed society. The postmodern narrative is one that rejects narratives; what many fail to realise is that this rejection itself constitutes a metanarrative. You are presented with countless paths and options of choice, yet there is no way to unify them within a hierarchical value structure. The epitome of this can be seen in the questioning of biological truths about what constitutes a woman.
