Anyway, many thanks to all here who have opened my eyes. I'm going to start taking MA/Socrates with a tablespoon of salt from now on. Will keep my $15 subscription but no more conferences for me.

Good approach. I would recommend to search the original material that he is copying from / aggregating on his blog. He publishes 3rd party but original material that is not necessarily easy to find. One has to give him credit for that. As far as economics is concerned and the theme of western civilization declining, nothing new. Much more to learn from Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Julian Assange. The themes are loss of accountability, the fundamental problem of delegation and the need to regulate the capitalist system which is exploitative by nature. The interesting thing to me is that Assange actually has a solution: Transparency. Well, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts recommends to go to Russia. Not too bad a call when I look at their stock market. But is this an option we are looking for?

I would take anything and everything with bags of salt. The problem with paid stuff in my mind is that they want to feed you crap even though there's nothing to feed. You know I actually preferred back in the day when you paid for things and they actually told you there's nothing to deliver sometimes, because there's nothing to deliver.

They feel the pressure because they promised.

But forget the promises and there's a lot to learn from the materials. Or, if you don't believe them, a lot to be entertained about.
