Speculation: Social Wound. How to treat?

Imagine that every camera in the world is pointed at you from the moment you’re born. Such constant scrutiny might tempt most people into conformity and complacency, but not everyone thinks that way. Phoebe Gates is one of many who live under that glare and still choose to raise their voices against situations that are utterly absurd and unjust.

Recent events prove that Phoebe refused to settle and instead carved out her own space to help create a fairer world for everyone. Fiercely opposed to speculation, she developed tools that deliver real product prices to people in the market who refuse to be misled. The app built by PHIACO — a brand she launched with Sophia Kianni — clearly demonstrates how market solutions can be designed to improve life on Earth for the general population.

This app acts like a true market “superfood.” While countless consumers were misled by inflated prices, this technology works relentlessly to control costs, making the marketplace simply more just, equitable, and balanced — values we’ve championed on this blog as the hallmark of genuine trading.

Phoebe and Sophia are held up here as models for anyone outraged by today’s realities. PHIA is a powerful catalyst that transforms discontent into genuine peace and confidence, igniting energy in people’s lives.

But we need many more individuals to join this movement: a movement to pay the right price — respecting merchants’ profit margins — without robbing people of their fundamental right to pursue their dreams and enjoy a dignified, fulfilling life.

The example set by Phoebe and Sophia is one we should all follow, offering real-world market solutions. Their triumph over obstacles makes society fairer and boosts transparency in business — and it’s within everyone’s grasp, including yours, dear reader.

Data show that the more people embrace transparent transactions, the more balanced society becomes, helping prevent economic crises, wars, famine — and, ultimately, countless deaths.

When the global population wakes up to the fact that transparent business is dignified business, we will achieve an unprecedented balance — a balance that is our right and that will vanquish social ills like poverty, injustice, and crime. In the next post, I’ll explore the logic of consumption, always focusing on ways to eliminate speculation — a scourge we must eradicate or, at the very least, reduce to its lowest possible levels. Otherwise, we remain trapped in a system that crushes the vulnerable and dispirits the privileged. Speculation benefits no one. It is society’s wound — and like any wound, it must be healed.
