Conventionally Accepted Lies - My Old Drafts

History is a bunch of conventional lies. History of humanity changes more often than the writers and narrators of this "history" change their shirts... The same happens with Bitcoin and cryptoeconomy, its history and its reality in the ever-changing present. The same process of distortion and disguise of facts and reality takes place in every facet of human historical experience. The herd can neither afford nor accept any harsh reality. It is very difficult to govern herds which have full knowledge of their historical reality and a full sense of the consequences that any historical decision of rulers has on everyday life.

The very concept of the traditional economy is based on a self-evident lie. The lie that says that the only and best way to build a society of wealth and abundance is to integrate and obey the centralized and perfectly controlled financial environment in which you were born and trained to serve. The notions of success and financial independence and freedom of thought and action are cooked up by the governors of societies, by the shepherds of the nations to say things in their name. The lie of prosperity and development that comes from one moment to another but unfortunately at the last minute something happens and this prosperity and growth delayed again or postponed due to a crisis is the most common lie of our century. A commonly accepted lie, which is accepted because it gives hope, abates the passions, mitigates the social violence caused by poverty and depression. These commonly accepted lies are a powerful and effective tool of governance. Few societies on Earth have succeeded in harnessing this destructive tendency of their governments. Most societies are easily adapted to a convenient lie that is offered to them, to a lie that any member of the society publicly condemns but collectively accepts. Because this lie suits their thinking, gives a concrete shape to their expectations and lulls the counter-productive stress of daily survival.
