US debt as a fraction of GDP is also at 122%.

So this is like a guy who makes $100k a year owing $122k in debt, and increasing that debt by $8k per year.

Fun times ahead.

it seems so unreasonable that people would have faith in a system that is heading in this direction, and yet they do.

Kyrios or kurios (κύριος) is a Greek word that is usually translated as "lord" or "master." It appears roughly 7,000 times in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.

However, the English word curious is not derived from the Greek word Kurios. The similarity between "curious" and "kurios" is phonetic only - a coincidental resemblance in sound, without any shared linguistic ancestry.

Nevertheless, I find this to be a very curious coincidence (pun intended). For it is through curiosity first and foremost that we can find our calling and align with our soul purpose. Kurios is what calls; curiosity is what orients. The direction of our attention often governs our destiny.

To adjust half-life I think I have to replay all old zaps. Hmmm perhaps I can come up with some clever approximation.

cartel (n.)

1550s, "a written challenge, letter of defiance," from French cartel (16c.), from Italian cartello "placard," diminutive of carta "card" (see card (n.1)).

It came to mean "written agreement between states at war" (1690s), for the exchange of prisoners or some other mutual advantage, then "a written agreement between challengers" of any sort (1889). The sense of "a commercial trust, an association of industrialists" is from 1900, via German Kartell, which is from French. The older U.S. term for that is trust (n.). The usual German name for them was Interessengemeinschaft, abbreviated IG.

I can see why the German term didn’t catch on.
