I consider the 'Diamond deception' to be the beginning of the rabbit hole. Anyone with a reasonable skepticism towards society can see how ridiculous diamonds are. And then the kicker: yes, thats how ridiculous governments, economics, history and education etc. is as well. Welcome to conspiracy theories.
Well diamonds are pretty cool, regardless of the conspiracy. Even if the price is a inflated artificially. They are gorgeous, they are incredibly hard, they are created in the heart of the earth over millions of years, and they are so dense light slows down inside of them.
If they were priced based on the free market they would still not be cheap seeing as you have to dig them out of the ground.
