You're straight up backtracking. You said it was a bad idea. That's advice, stop mincing words.

I don't get triggered by everything I see, only foolish things. Claiming that investing is a bad idea because money will soon be obsolete is advice, and it's foolish advice.

I was referring to the comfort they seem to get by just investing.
It is objectively true that money will lose value in a system where labour is irrelevant. It is also objectively true that transition will impact the monetary system. Everything else is you projecting.
I never said don't invest. Nor do I say anything about living within means. I'm pointing out how flawed it is as an idea to think something that works now will work later.

You said it's not a good idea. There's no projection going on here. When people say that's not a good idea, they're advising against it. Just have the intellectual integrity to own what you said. 🙄
