Your writing really feels like you’re pulling back the curtain on how things actually work. I see myself in your “Forgotten Man”, shadow banned, unable to participate meaningfully and left watching a system that still talks about freedom and choice while quietly narrowing both. This substack makes sense of things that often feel impossible to explain, but also pretty bleak. Is there a silver lining here? What, if anything, can the Forgotten Man still do?
I am a big fan of this substack and have followed you guys for a year, I have read all your post since 2023 though. This one kind of let me down. I would like to have more proof regarding Jacob Marschak being the "Mastermind" or his intention of building our modern "The Market". Will you provide proof for your theory later on?
Thank you. Your writings are insightful and sobering. In particular, control of the price setting mechanism is subtle, invisible and destructive to individual choice, freedom and liberty. I assume that is objective. The more I observe the more I begin to think all I've been taught and told over the years is a ruse. Perhaps it follows when the current approach's efficacy wanes a more overt form of control will be employed.

Social media are personalized Truman Shows - that is a powerful thought!

Keep up the good work :)

Of course, otherwise we wouldn't have written it...
Thanks! Sorry for doubting :)... Looking forward to read the rest of the series.

I agree with a lot of this, and I think it's mostly good that it's happening.
Would be ok, maybe, if it wasn't economically blind!
