  • I had a friend who believed in that. She tried to explain to my then GF how her having a symmetrical face means she's definitely a Libra.

    Now, I loved her to bits but my ex-partner did not have a symmetrical face. Few people have. But apparently the way stars aligned on her birthday meant she must have one, so that friend insisted on it.

    This isn't reason or just a different jargon. This is woo-woo. Sitting down everyday, trying to manifest a leading role in a famous TV show but doing nothing else to get this because "manifestation will do its thing" isn't jargon.

    That friend was someone I got along with. Because she did not try to convince me that vaccines are evil and instead I should just do a spirit cleanse. Like others tried to. This "jargon" is accompanied by fundamentally different ideas about how and why things happen and can lead to anti-scientism.

    Lastly, yes, I consider sound healing bogus. The idea that frequencies alone can heal serious injuries is dumb. The difference between acknowledging that vibrations picked up by the brain can assist in a healing process and the idea that this can somehow replace any other treatment is fundamentally unreasonable.

  • Inflation and Unemployment usually hold themselves in a balance. As long as the economy isn't actively tanking, lower unemployment means higher inflation. More people have the capacity to buy something, there is more demand in the market, so prices increase slightly.

    Additionally, a slight inflation rate of 2-2,5% encourages spending. Any given day is on average the cheapest day to get a good, waiting longer might mean increased prices because of inflation.

    A deflationary currency would lead to hoarding: why would you make a larger purchase now, if you know that deflation will drive down the price. Deflation turns money from a currency into a security. This is one of the main reasons for Bitcoin's lack of adoption as a currency, since paying any amount of Bitcoin now for a good seems like madness given how much the value of your Bitcoin might go up.

    Last but not least: Every major economy is built on debt taken on by the state. Inflation reduces the cost to borrow for the state. Sure, a fixed interest rate of 10 million per year sounds bad, but next year, the state will have more money overall, so a repayment costs less.

    That's btw one reason why the claim of "the gubernmint alredy has sooo much monies, ebry year they has recoord incoome, they has speending prublem" is so God damn idiotic. The government will have a record income by design. There is more money to be taxed every year, because of inflation.

    This cutie sat on the counter, trying to ward off sleep as if she'd be court martialed if we caught her napping on duty.
