2022-04-17 at 10:17 PM UTC in Modern Monetary Theory: The New Paradigm?I've read quite a few books and papers on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) recently and found it highly enlightening of how the economy actually works in practice. Curious to see if anyone of the NIS have been following/agree/disagree.
It essentially refutes orthodox economics and the montetarist idea that inflation is always linked to an oversupply of money, which has dominated economics for the last forty odd years since Thatcher claimed governments are no different economically from households and Reagan went fucking ham.
Politically, it can be used either way as it is primarily descriptive, although many MMT people advocate for certain policies to prevent inflation risks/full employment etc. MMT also destroys the the argument around debt for currency-issuing nations and the notion that taxpayers actually pay for anything.
The sheer fact we have an alternative economic theory emerging isn't really surprising considering the vacillation between the expansion of market forces and the subsequent counter-movement (unions etc), which is seemingly becoming faster and faster as globalisation and technology grow (Burawoy, pg. 40 https://rhuthmos.eu/spip.php?article1321)
For those unfamiliar there are three basic tenets set out in "The Deficit Myth" (recent book that really put MMT on display):
1. Currency-issuing nations have no financial constraints.
2. Nations have real constraints on resources and production capacity
3. A public deficit is, in effect. a surplus in the private sector.
Anyone else been following this stuff? What do you think? -
2022-04-14 at 11:28 AM UTC in Poppy Seed TeaIn my experience PST is by FAR the most underrated opiate I've found. As an anecdote, a friend was in rehab and an old junkie was telling him it's impossible to get a high from PST so my friend, on their lunch break where they're allowed to the shop, shook him up a huge batch and he ended up in hospital. Several reports of OD from PST as well as the level of morphine equivalency per kg is roughly 40mg, but can possibly vary up to 2000 times that: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6513924/
"The morphine, codeine, and thebaine content in poppy seed tea was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and found a morphine concentration of < 1–2788 mg/kg, a codeine concentration of < 1–247.6 mg/kg, and a thebaine concentration of < 1–124 mg/kg with alkaloid yields varying depending on extraction method. This suggests that high, potentially lethal doses of morphine can be found in poppy seed tea "
(Original study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28973785/ )
RECIPE:
100 - 250g poppy seeds is a safe start (this is a recipe for seeds not pods. if you're lucky store bought are just fine most of the time but wholefood is usually better)
1L bottle or 600ml will do
Coffee strainer (optional)
PREPARATION
1. Clean bottle. I use a Powerade bottle or anything with a pop out lid you're supposed to drink from for easier enhancementing later.
2. Pour in your seeds. A funnel made out of paper works good.
3. Use lukewarm water and fill the bottle enough so the seeds move easily in the liquid.
4. Shake for approx 2 - 3 minutes.
5. Put the coffee strainer over a cup or another bottle and squeeze out the dirty yellow/brown water into it. If it's milky looking you got a bad batch.
6. Repeat but with just enough water to shake them properly and for only about a minute or two at most.
Enjoy your dirt tasting tea. Best to just drink it all in one and chase with something tasty I find.
And beware...it lasts for a looong time. The withdrawals drag on for weeks/months but aren't as severe as heroin in my experiences. -

First time I did clonazolam I assume average strength and kept knocking myself out. -
