Скачать или смотреть Aliens discussing debt

Sometimes it takes the perspective shift of two aliens discussing Earth, to realize how bananas the systems we take for granted have become.

Like the fact that most money today is created as debt. Meaning, when a bank gives a loan, it doesn’t lend existing money — it creates new money out of thin air.

But here’s the catch: you have to pay back more than was created (because of interest).

So where does that extra money come from?

From even more debt.

Example:

• You borrow $100 at 5% interest
• You owe $105
• But only $100 exists
• The extra $5 must come from new loans

This means the system needs endless new debt just to function — or it risks collapse.
