Esoteric Economist: “If the majority of the population buys Bitcoin. You’ll be able to abolish the state”
Esoteric Economist: “The state model is inherently unsustainable and will always collapse”

Get the Esoteric Economist mug.1. An economist or talking head who sings the praises of the wealthy corporations while glossing over the miserable state of the working class.

2. Roughly, anyone who tells you to "whistle while you work".
3. One who plays the skin flute for his corporate daddies in exchange for Ass Tokens.
The word 'highfallutin' is based on a midwestern slang pronunciation of high + fluting or flutin'. The adjective is meant to humorously contrast the fancy and ghey sounds of a flautist (flute player) with the seriousness of everything else in the real world.

That high-fluting economist thinks he's really something special in his fancy suit and gold watch. He's just putting lipstick on a pig.
My boss has been listening to that high-fluting economist on Fox News and now he's got the Ayn Rand Effect so I could get fired just for showing up today.

Get the The economist mug.A club for the world's wealthy elites to jerk each other off and discuss new ways to increase their wealth and control of the masses under the veil of globalism, sustainability, and universal equality.
The World Economic Forum promotes sustainability and equality, yet its sponsors and contributors run the most wasteful and exploitative businesses to have ever existed.

Get the World Economic Forum mug.'economically religious' is a descriptive term which refers to the belief system and mindset of a person (or group of people) who care much more about money, finances and the economy than absolutely anything else (including, but not limited to, their own health, other people's health and their local or global environments)
supporting background:
- people who are 'economically religious' promote their destructive and unfair totalitarian ideology based in authoritarian control and materialism
- sadly, to a moralist, and in truth, there appears to be a much greater percentage of the world's population who are 'economically religious' than those who are not 'economically religious', and, both groups seem incredibly strange to one another
- like many false deities and false doctrines, economies are not real things; they are merely concepts and ideas which are continually morphing and inevitably lead to compliance and control of large groups by authority figures
- financially poor people are not immune from becoming 'economically religious'; very few people on this planet are immune to this 'mind poison'

ex. (1) All bankers and most politicians are 'economically religious'.
ex. (2) The people who truly manipulate and run the economies of the world depend on the masses being 'economically religious'.
ex. (3) When the 'economically religious' movement hits a critical mass level, their hedonism will destroy planet Earth.
ex. (4) Glenn Jessome is one individual, living in the modern world, who is not 'economically religious'. This makes him 'seem' strange.
ex. (5) The elite within the 'economically religious' are behind all major wars and conflicts, hunger and unnecessary spread of preventable diseases.
ex. (6) Neither cave men nor the characters of Star Trek were 'economically religious', so it is possible that humanity can exist without this destructive materialistic totalitarian ideology, although most people are too 'economically indoctrinated' to comprehend this fact.
ex. (7) Since the advent of money as a means to facilitate trade, Diogenes of Sinope was one of the greatest people to push back against initiatives of the 'economically religious'. As the 'story' goes, apparently Jesus pushed back against the money changers in the temple by tipping over their trade tables and even whipped the money changers to get them out of the place of worship. In modern times only Iceland seems to have made some progress against the initiatives of debt-slavery by the elites of the 'economically religious'.
