There is one historically provable truth, which even though it may be anathema to the scientific and objective minded individual, and that is that once a new paradigm enters the consciousness of the individual, especially if it is in an area of human endeavor that is pervasive and always in effect like the economic and money systems….that everything and everyone adapts to the paradigm change…and NOT the other way around. The paradigm changes the pattern because that is what a new paradigm is….a pattern change.

It also reminds me of a quote attributed to Gautama Buddha: “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”
