Heroin addiction, The Money Supply (Currency Creation), & Interest rates – section (a)

To start off, I must acknowledge Rafi Farber of “the End Game Investor”, because much of what I’m going to say here is based on two videos that he has produced and released on YouTube.

The titles of the videos are “Silver in backwardation for the 3rd straight week” and “The fuse to the end game is 50 basis points long”.

The first video is part of his weekly presentations for the Arcadia Economics channel.

I would highly recommend you watching these videos and any others that he produces.

So, this is a retelling of these particular videos. I thought that this was important information that needed to be shared. I have added to them where I saw fit.

And obviously, I make no claim as regards the originality of the material. It’s plagiarised.

Heroin addiction
That said, let’s get into it and have a look at Heroin addiction.

A Heroin addict gets his “fix” by injecting heroin. The effects of Heroin are primarily physiological.
The Heroin he uses has a stimulating effect on his system.

How does that actually happen?

Let’s look at this in more detail

Hijacking the body’s Reward system
Heroin hijacks the body’s Reward system.

The body’s Reward system conditions behaviour, behaviour which is crucial to an individual’s continued existence. Certain behaviours favourable to prolonging life are rewarded.

This is best described by way of example, so let’s consider the consumption of food. We need food to live. We obviously can not live without it Food can be thought of as fuel. But Mother Nature has designed it so that the act of eating food is actually experienced as a pleasurable activity. Some people are real foodies – they love food. For these people, the pleasurable aspect is very much emphasised. For some though, food is little more than fuel and find little pleasure in it. I dare say that most people exist somewhere in between these extremes. We are all different and we all are situated somewhere on the spectrum.
