\u201cThe whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

–Bertrand Russel<\/em><\/p>\n

It really seems like reality is not nearly as objective as it should be. My pointing at empirical evidence regarding global warming, for example, does no good. \u201cYou are blind to it!\u201d say my friends, even as I encourage them to look with their own eyes. \u201cYou\u2019re not a climate scientist!\u201d they say, even as they swear by the \u201cteachings\u201d of Bill Nye and Al Gore, although neither are climate scientists (not that you really need a slip of paper to understand science, truth be told\u2026).<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cTrump is unelectable!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

–pretty much every major news site, pre-election day in 2016 presented this as fact, time and again. How\u2019d that fact work out?<\/em><\/p>\n

People hear stuff on the news, and they are so confident that they\u2019re hearing facts. It didn\u2019t matter when I tried to explain the polls in the last election were obviously biased. \u201cYou\u2019re a racist\u201d cried one friend, \u201cYou hate women!\u201d cried another\u2026their claims were taken as facts, while my pointing out Trump rallies, Twitter feeds, and Youtube videos all were dwarfing Hillary\u2019s by magnitudes of 3:1 or greater (heck, the \u201cHillary for Prison\u201d twitter followers vastly outnumbered the \u201cHillary for President\u201d twitter followers, and both put together didn\u2019t match Trump\u2019s followers).<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just don\u2019t believe in facts, do you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

–a Leftist friend\u2019s response when I tried to convince him that Lincoln was a Republican, that the Democrats were pro-slavery and continued advocating racist policies well into the 60s (and arguably today). No citation of evidence on my part was relevant, every source I cited was attacked.<\/em><\/p>\n

But my \u201cfacts\u201d were treated as conspiracy theories, and more than once I was told that I was delusional. After all, every major news site was not merely predicting Hillary would win, and was more focused on how great the historic \u201cHillary landslide\u201d would be.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re being illogical!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

–a recent reader told me this. I tried to get him to explain his definitive statement, to demonstrate my improper use of logic\u2026but no deal, simply saying my argument was illogical made it a fact, somehow.<\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s this weird way of arguing nowadays. You don\u2019t have to be right, you have to be extremely smug and overconfident. I\u2019ve literally seen people say, with a straight face and no awareness of their idiocy, that other people are \u201cobjectively\u201d wrong in their opinion over their personal preferences.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cYou keep using that word. I don\u2019t think it means what you think it means.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Inigo Montoya, Princess Bride.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the media, but lots of people keeping shouting \u201cfacts\u201d at me\u2026but the blustering confidence of such people just drives me nuts. The worst of it is when a politician quotes \u201cfacts,\u201d and then those facts are now taken to be, well actual facts.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are wrong. \u2018Consensus\u2019 and \u2018average\u2019 mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably. They are the same thing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

–Some 9 different Ph.D. administrators told me as much, and there was no dictionary I could cite that would convince them that the consensus of a data set {1,1,1,1,0} was \u201c1,\u201d while its average was 0.8. I\u2019m so pleased to no longer be working at a fake state community college. Even though I knew the definitions of the word \u201cconsensus,\u201d I checked it time and again to make sure I was correct. While admin always has perfect confidence in their rightness, I have doubts, you see\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>Ok, my anecdote above about Educrats is just one of many, but even when I try to tell people about the difference between gold currency and fiat money\u2026I run into brick walls by people super-confident about their facts. \u201cYou\u2019re a gold bug!\u201d gets shouted at me, among worse epithets. I\u2019m a fan of precious metals, I admit, but in today\u2019s \u201cO% interest rate\u201d world, it just makes far more sense to buy pretty rocks than have slips of paper with arbitrary numbers on them or digits in a bank\u2019s computer file\u2026the empirical evidence regarding fiat currency is unarguable<\/a>, but for some reason empirical evidence means nothing next to \u201cfacts.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

While governments are generally incompetent, some of our state governments are dimly starting to protect themselves from the inevitable death of the US dollar (note: it might be next month, next year, or in 20 years or more, but my admittedly cloudy crystal ball predicts \u201csooner rather than later\u201d). So, some states have been passing bills regarding the use of gold as money. Recently a politician stated some \u201cfacts\u201d about gold:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1868 Gold Was $27 An Ounce\u2026 Today It Is $1,218\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m\u2026.puzzled at his confusion here. Anybody can go to E-bay can see US $20 gold coins made in 1868<\/a>. You can find similar coins from 1869 or 1867, so it\u2019s pretty clear gold was around $20 an ounce at that time. There certainly could be fluctuations, mind you, but gold was basically $20 an ounce for a very long time. As long as the government kept making (nearly) 1 ounce gold coins with a face value of $20, that\u2019s pretty much the \u201cvalue\u201d (whatever that word means) of gold.<\/p>\n

The Democrat Idaho House Minority Leader continues:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u201c\u2026<\/em>you can\u2019t say gold is going to protect us from inflation when you have that type of a price range over the last hundred years\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, he said this on March 14th<\/sup> of this year\u2026I dare say that 2017 is noticeably more than 100 years past 1868. More importantly, he has absolutely no clue that what he just said demonstrates how gold protects from inflation. You spend 20 fiat dollars on gold, and many years later you can trade that gold in for more than 1200 fiat dollars (currently; this could change dramatically in the coming months). Now, this is not a money-making proposition. The things you could buy with $20 in the 18th<\/sup> century\u2014a few month\u2019s rent or food–are roughly what you can buy with $1200 today.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value\u2014zero.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

—Voltaire. Voltaire died in 1778, but the rules for paper money are the same now as then.<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the point: fiat currencies inevitably become more and more worthless. You buy gold, and well, gee, it preserves value. That\u2019s exactly what is meant by protection from inflation.<\/p>\n

Then the government official does what is so common today: pound on the table and acts like he\u2019s made a valid argument:<\/p>\n

\u201ci just want to point out that facts are important\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can see the video with your own eyes<\/a>, it\u2019s a wonderful demonstration of how brilliant our \u201cprofessional\u201d politicians are today (and completely destroying any criticism of Trump for his \u201camateur\u201d status as a politician\u2014our professional politicians by and large are morons). I know many people that would use this video, the politician\u2019s words, as \u201cproof\u201d my opinions on gold are \u201cobjectively wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

We live in a world where \u201cfacts\u201d every bit as valid as the ones I\u2019ve quoted above from the politician really are the complete opposite of the facts I believe to be true. The mainstream media has been using \u201calternative facts\u201d in much the same way as \u201cfake news,\u201d but I\u2019m tired of having lies shouted at me, and offended by such rubbish being referred to in any way as \u201cfact.\u201d<\/p>\n

We really are at the stage where we need to start accepting alternative facts at face value, particularly when those alternative facts are the exact opposite of the \u201cfacts\u201d being presented to us by our government officials and mainstream media\u2014not that there\u2019s much difference between the two.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a matter of empirical evidence, and self-defense.<\/p>\n
