I've been reflecting on practical steps we can take, as much of the discussion seems surreal, with likely more details that couldn't be fully covered.
During the board meeting, Courtney advised avoiding unnecessary spending for the next 3-4 months, which is sound advice. However, one area that FS may not be able to address is whether we should consider moving some funds into BTC (cryptocurrency) as a precautionary measure.
There are growing reports of the US Dollar's decline, especially with countries like China using the US Dollar less for settling debts; we have the formation of BRICS. Any significant political collapse here could have profound implications, including disruptions to the monetary system and the devaluation of the US Dollar—and potentially other currencies globally.
The last Harvey meeting and this board meeting emphasized the need for "chaos" to enable Catastrophic Disclosure. However, I don't fully grasp the underlying reasons—why and how, for instance, would public knowledge of events like JFK’s assassination or 9/11 drive this disclosure forward? What details have we not yet heard?
If Farsight's library of projects is crucial for public reference during such a pivotal time, wouldn’t it make sense to offer that material for free, even temporarily? Would the shorter clips on platforms like YouTube or Rumble really suffice? We all want to support Farsight’s financial needs, as it’s essential for their continued operation. But what risks would making the full material publicly accessible pose, and what further steps can we, as Farsight members, take to contribute?
I don't feel that Catastrophic Disclosure would cause the total breakdown of society; we'll have issues, but the business of day-to-day operations will continue, albeit some changes will need to be made. But that's another discussion for another time.
