Last time we had a serious deflationary run we ended up with a handful of obscenely wealthy robber barons and a world war.

Should we at least, differentiate deflation due to technologies, deflation due to stagnant economy and “price slashing” and those desperation crimes?

We should acknowledge deflation due to technology, right?

Couple it with no “passive income” pumping money for the “rich reservoirs”, overall prices gets cheaper in line with everyone’s active earning? (All it takes is remove the “passive income economy” that generates nothing but “financing”. Tax/donations does the same, without interest being created?

If you borrow a million dollars from the bank to build a house and then in five years that house is worth half a million…

I don’t understand much. What so bad about house losing value, if we never intended it as capitalistic investment?

Everything suppose to be “utilitarian” basis instead of ever-inflating “profit” basis that hurt majority, no?

Just my curiosity why deflation is a bad thing, other than monetary incentive system broke down and no one working (right now, monetary system still broke down on opposite spectrum due to purchasing power collapse, I assume?)

Edit: clarification

Profitable or not, a house is a shelter, not renting or trading item? (This is what I meant by capitalistic mindset, not about corporation, but the very profit mindset of human.)

Edit2: clarification2

Yes, same opinion on investment and passive income. All capitalistic nature. Impossible to earn passively unless someone or some machine enslaved, right? Yet everyone love passive income idea so much, pumping profit everywhere, more money more inflation, no? In the past, people might save years to a house, now, people earn endless passive income to no house, I think that’s the very reason to it. Passive income is somehow bad. (Not to be mixed with voluntary welfare system, passive income is auto sucking involuntarily, iinm)

Edit3: clarification3

So about the house worth dropping. In bookkeeping, historical cost don’t drop. However, future value inflation exist thanks to “profit future inflation”. So, we still have to settle book value of loan, I don’t get it how the value dropped though? A liability is a liability, not to be messed with “inflating fluctuating market value”, no?

Labour-less advancement. Human pass down centuries of advancement in languages.

• Version 1: Rough input labour steps automation, in restrictive detail.
• Version 2: Multiple labour steps input compiled, in restrictive choice. (Less supervise command)
• Version 3: Task automation. (Communicate wish, whole labour compilations taken care; no production supervise input, only output demands)

The automation gone from “multiple coffee gadgets” to “1 standard coffee button” to “a warm coffee of less sugar request”. (Now, where are human’s place in this picture? A balloon human such in Wall-E movie?)

I started wondering if I missed out a world where stuff comes free. (Although this doesn’t stop me from hating irrelevant “sales pushing” efforts. I think most people just hate the irrelevant part, hopefully)
