Yeah, he is definatly dead. But I think there is a switch in every man's head where he says "Fuck it, I'm building a canon and going down with the ship", you can kind of only lose/ take so much.

How the heck does that thing work? I can’t make sense of it.

The Regression theorem is a memetic equivalent of the Theory of Evolution. To say that the former precludes the free emergence of fiat currencies makes no more sense that to hold that the latter precludes the natural emergence of multicellular organisms.
