Ever wonder why life keeps getting more expensive even though tech keeps getting better? Think about it—when we master a skill or streamline production, costs should DROP. That's literally the definition of progress.
But here's the kicker: inflation flips that script entirely. We're stuck running faster and faster just to stay in the same spot. It's like being trapped on a treadmill that speeds up every year, and somehow we've been convinced this is normal.
Knut Svanholm breaks down why this might be one of the biggest economic con jobs in modern history. His take? The system isn't broken—it's designed this way. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Damn, this treadmill analogy is spot on. Every year just keeps getting faster, but my salary hasn’t changed at all.

Inflation is really something else—the more advanced technology becomes, the poorer we get. This logic is messed up.

Honestly, I'm increasingly feeling like this whole system is a carefully designed trap... Technology has advanced, yet the costs are even higher. It's hilarious.

That's why I'll never be able to afford a house: technology has advanced, but money has depreciated. It's really unbelievable.

Yeah, this treadmill analogy is spot on... We're just working ourselves to death on the treadmill, but our money keeps losing value.

This treadmill analogy is spot on—you're just getting more and more tired while staying in the same place.

Why is technological advancement getting more and more expensive? That doesn’t make sense.
