RE: Where Did All the FUD Go?

in Finance and Economy • yesterday

I didn't even know what FUD means before I read this post... 😅 If I feel FUD towards assets you own, I probably didn't research them well before buying, or did take more risk than I should've. FUD is basically lack of knowledge.

I like that theory of population turning against what is not working for them by turning towards something different. I haven't seen it that way. There were many rebellions throughout the centuries, civil wars and such, and for some reason I thought that most changes came through those. But especially in our times, it's not that necessary anymore to rebel - one can just switch on who to give the power. Theoretically. I'll think about that.

See! The conversation has changed! Lack of knowledge and a fear of the unknown. Not everything can be known, so we have to get comfortable in not knowing too.

I think that as far as pain and suffering goes, it is better to make shifts in our behaviour to demand differently, than rebel against a system that will ultimately be rebuilt back the same.

It does make sense, and it's an interesting topic historically. I'll ask a friend if mine what he things of it. He's way deeper into history than I am, and has far more context available.

And from what I see, yes, the systems are always rebuild in some way. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Just like Foucault explained it. From being official slaves, we turned to controlling ourselves, punishing ourselves if not productive enough. We still act as slaves, but under a different name.
