5 Tips For Eating Healthy On A Budget

“True farmer’s markets often have very competitively-priced produce. The fruits and vegetables you find at these markets will be in-season and local as well, which means they’ll taste better and likely be better for you.” E Renter

FarmersMarketLosAngelesWhen it comes to eating healthy on a regular basis, you may think it’s impossible without breaking the bank.

How Subjectivity Prevents Us From Being Open-Minded Individuals

 “If everyone prefaced their religious beliefs with, “in my opinion,” perhaps it would be less of an argument point. “In my opinion, there is no one God.””  T Schomburg

TheTruthIsI have come to realize that Truth is a subjective term. I think that my Truth is different from your Truth. And no one Truth is right, because all of our beliefs are right in a way that makes sense to us.

Fiat Money: ‘A Large-Scale Fraud System’

The Center for Financial Studies in Frankfurt reports on a recent talk given by Thorsten Polleit:

On 2 April, Thorsten Polleit addressed these questions in his lecture “Boom & Bust, or: Planned Chaos” referring to the Austrian school of economics. Polleit is Chief Economist of Degussa Goldhandel, President of the Ludwig von Mises Institut Deutschland and Honorary Professor at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.

Polleit identified the state-controlled fiat money system as a main cause of the international financial and economic crisis. This system, he said, is based on the ability of banks to create money literally out of nothing. It is, in principle, a “large-scale fraud system” because today’s money is “intrinsically worthless and not redeemable”. This has damaging consequences for the overall economic development.
