Well, you say this is not a topic for this site, but HN is explicitly about intellectual curiosity and as long as you present your case with enough complexity and new information, any topic should go. It's not the topic, it's the way you go about it.

You raise an economic, political and maybe societal, ehr, question? It is not entirely clear to me what your inquiry or proposal is. You can help the community accepting your topic by being more clear and information rich.

The crisis in the Middle East is a terrible thing, but I don't think it will lead to a majority of people being "screwed".

The money printing is not really a danger in that sense. Yes, I also do think we should manage to have a better banking and currency system, FIAT is less than optimal, but it's not the case that it doesn't work at all either.

I don't know who you are referring to with "normal people", but I am inclined to not see the HN crowd as normal people. Depends on your parameters of course.

I really like your answer in soo many ways because i can see that it made you think in really possitive way. For something like this i really can not say i can be more information rich as this is soo deeper than informations we have, unfortunately... Its much easier to talk about some science or tehnology where we can read documentation and really understand it . Just to answer this moment "screwed". Its not about money i lived through hard times like most of us lived and we will keep living but i think making world thinking this is normal will put us in really bad moral. World is going in direction that everything is okay if you are making money out of it, and thats completly wrong. On your statment about FIAT , i agree. Its not that bad thats truee but somehow same opportunity should be given to everyone. Not in termes of luxury but in terms of basic rights its completly wrong if people are doing same but one is living normal and other is struggling to survive. In my opinion every country is rich as rich as its poorest inhabitant... I dont know man this is such a hard topic to talk about and we could talk all day...
