my final point.

the definitively provable reality of our systems corruption is abundant and might just be enough to precipitate some change. the hype of the imaginary just serves to dilute the influence of provable reality and dilute the credibility of the agents of change.

If there's any collusion going on between Goldman Sachs and the NY
Stock Exchange to manipulate the market, then I don't care how many
people know about it (or, more likely, only have some suspicion).
These Gen-Xers and Boomers will have convinced themselves that by

So now we have allegations that Goldman Sachs is colluding with the
NYSE to make money by illegally "manipulating markets in unfair

high ...

If this is true, and I believe that the probability is high, then
it's a further demonstration of how overwhelmingly distorted the
market is today, and how far it is from any semblance of reality.


it seems to me that your using a contradiction as support.

I really don't believe that this is a Luddite-type argument. What's
