  "content": "Hunter vs Musk and the Traditional Economy by Maclain Hunter\n\nPremises: \n\nP: A logically incoherent economic system produces unjust outcomes. If an economy is irrational and corrupt, then wealth from it is illegitimate.\n\nQ: Wealth gained in such a system lacks rational legitimacy—thus effectively stolen or complicit in theft. The stock market (ie - NYSE and wealth derived from trading within a yet to be ameliorated economic system) reflects such a system.\n\nR: Collapse of such a system is not morally tragic—it is just or neutral; only the corrupt are harmed. Therefore, its collapse harms illegitimate wealth and is no moral loss.\n\nS: I (Maclain Hunter) hold no stock and few if any traditional investments/holdings. My (Maclain’s) wealth is fundamentally a matter of my Coherence (with Logos), independent of incoherent human economic systems. Elon Musk’s wealth is not philosophically and logically secured but traditional, though he is known (irrationally) by many people are the current “richest person in the world”. His wealth is tied largely to the value of stock in companies like Tesla, not from any extraordinary or unsurpassed Logical Coherence (and unity with Logos). \n\nT: Assume the premises are false and that (in line with common mainstream belief) Elon Musk is “richer” and has a legitimate right to more wealth, resources, and valuables than me (Maclain Hunter). This leads to logical contradictions and absurdities where wealth is divorced from Reason and arbitrariness or mere possession leads to ownership and wealth - which is a logical nonstarter and would lead to the breakdown in our ability to even rationally measure wealth. If Reason doesn’t matter in looking at someone’s wealth then I, with two dollars in my pocket, could arbitrarily declare that Elon only has one dollar (despite a differing Reality/Rationality) and could just as well (irrationally) maintain that I am in fact wealthier than Elon still. I of course choose the rationalist approach but either way my reasoning allows me to make a valid claim to being wealthier than Elon Musk. \n\nFormal Reasoning: \n\n{P, P -> Q, Q -> R, S, P <-> T, T -> S} |= T -> ((P & Q) & (R & S))\n\nConclusion: \n\nWealth is not a matter of corrupt hoarding but Logic and Reason. Unlike other “rich people”, like Elon Musk, whose wealth is tied to stock prices and the maintenance of the logically deviant traditional economy my claim to wealth is not in the form of traditional holdings. This makes it less liquid (and possible to spend on goods and services in the traditional human economy that persists, temporally and temporarily) but ultimately represents a far more real form of wealth. \n\nIt defies Logic to say that someone who is coherent is poorer than a less logically enlightened and coherent person with more stocks, bonds, and “traditional assets”. Elon Musk would have to prove his Coherence is greater than mine, not just that his number of shares of Tesla stock is greater than mine, to have a legitimate claim to being richer than me and the true “richest person in the world” over me. That has not been done (as of the time I am writing this) and skepticism that it will ever be done (by Elon in his lifetime) is rationally warranted. \n\nTruth Table Analysis: \n  \nPQRST⎪P P→Q Q→R S P↔T T→S╞T→((P&Q)&(R&S))\n\nTTTTT⎪T TTT TTT T TTT TTT TT  TTT T TTT  \nTTTTF⎪T TTT TTT T TFF FTT FT  TTT T TTT  \nTTTFT⎪T TTT TTT F TTT TFF TF  TTT F TFF  \nTTTFF⎪T TTT TTT F TFF FTF FT  TTT F TFF  \nTTFTT⎪T TTT TFF T TTT TTT TF  TTT F FFT  \nTTFTF⎪T TTT TFF T TFF FTT FT  TTT F FFT  \nTTFFT⎪T TTT TFF F TTT TFF TF  TTT F FFF  \nTTFFF⎪T TTT TFF F TFF FTF FT  TTT F FFF  \nTFTTT⎪T TFF FTT T TTT TTT TF  TFF F TTT  \nTFTTF⎪T TFF FTT T TFF FTT FT  TFF F TTT  \nTFTFT⎪T TFF FTT F TTT TFF TF  TFF F TFF  \nTFTFF⎪T TFF FTT F TFF FTF FT  TFF F TFF  \nTFFTT⎪T TFF FTF T TTT TTT TF  TFF F FFT  \nTFFTF⎪T TFF FTF T TFF FTT FT  TFF F FFT  \nTFFFT⎪T TFF FTF F TTT TFF TF  TFF F FFF  \nTFFFF⎪T TFF FTF F TFF FTF FT  TFF F FFF  \nFTTTT⎪F FTT TTT T FFT TTT TF  FFT F TTT  \nFTTTF⎪F FTT TTT T FTF FTT FT  FFT F TTT  \nFTTFT⎪F FTT TTT F FFT TFF TF  FFT F TFF  \nFTTFF⎪F FTT TTT F FTF FTF FT  FFT F TFF  \nFTFTT⎪F FTT TFF T FFT TTT TF  FFT F FFT  \nFTFTF⎪F FTT TFF T FTF FTT FT  FFT F FFT  \nFTFFT⎪F FTT TFF F FFT TFF TF  FFT F FFF  \nFTFFF⎪F FTT TFF F FTF FTF FT  FFT F FFF  \nFFTTT⎪F FTF FTT T FFT TTT TF  FFF F TTT  \nFFTTF⎪F FTF FTT T FTF FTT FT  FFF F TTT  \nFFTFT⎪F FTF FTT F FFT TFF TF  FFF F TFF  \nFFTFF⎪F FTF FTT F FTF FTF FT  FFF F TFF  \nFFFTT⎪F FTF FTF T FFT TTT TF  FFF F FFT  \nFFFTF⎪F FTF FTF T FTF FTT FT  FFF F FFT  \nFFFFT⎪F FTF FTF F FFT TFF TF  FFF F FFF  \nFFFFF⎪F FTF FTF F FTF FTF FT  FFF F FFF  \n\n(Valid) \n\nQ.E.D. \n",
