Hey everyone. Welcome back to the What Is Money Show. I am thrilled today to be sitting down again with Mr. Eric Weinstein.

And today I think we're going to dive into a topic that is very pertinent to our modern politicized reality and central banking more generally, which is this concept of K-fabe and k-fabrication.

Is this something that you coined, Eric, or where did this term come from?

Well, K-Fave is actually coming from the wrestling world, the world of professional wrestling.

And K-Fabrication was basically a mash-up of to fabricate and K-Fab.

And the idea that we are going to have institutions,

we're going to have institutions push an imaginary reality

that they've constructed onto us

and force us to live in it is sort of this response that institutions have when the world is

unpredictable and therefore dangerous to slow-moving non-agile structures like a large institution.

But it's also boring.

So they can afford to have really slow-moving programs, if you will, to replace reality with this sort of Erzatz existence.

And that process, I've called K-Fabrication fabrication because I see us increasingly not living authentic lives.

We're leading lives that are denatured so that we don't disturb the institutions and the tiny few who operate and profit from them.

Yes, I think this is a very interesting concept and I could not help but recognize how much it resonates with what I'll generalize as kind of the Bitcoiner worldview.

And so just to throw out some definitions here,

KFave, I believe you've described as the system of stratified lies that undergirds professional wrestling.

Professional wrestling specifically like WWF or WWE.

I'm not even sure what the name of the company is anymore,

but this theater basically,

it's athletic theater in a way where they're putting on a show.

There's characters.
