FOREX-3D: Culmination of monetary absurdities
13 Sept 14:48Key points summarised by AI
The FOREX-3D scheme is presented as a consequence of society normalizing speculative financial 'betting,' which the author equates to gambling and views as an absurd, unfair method of wealth generation.
It critiques how modern capitalism, by embracing opportunism and complex instruments like Credit Default Swaps, fosters an economic system where speculators often prosper more than those engaged in tangible production.
The scandal is highlighted as evidence of systemic flaws, not an anomaly, drawing parallels with past financial crises and the rise of cryptocurrency, all contributing to an unstable global economic order.
The involvement of celebrities in FOREX-3D amplified its reach and exposed how public credibility can be leveraged in fraudulent schemes, reflecting themes often explored in films about financial greed.

Today 15:02Key points summarised by AI
Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
