Determining whether something is or is not a scam is a technique that nearly everyone needs. Some are merely better at doing just that than others.

Yes, but the conditions Nomads have to deal virtually guarantee that anyone with in IQ above room temperature is going to get good at it. If an Xer didn't then very bad things tended to happen and would continue until they learned or ended up dead or worse.
I never really did believe in the labor theory of value because the conclusions it implies tend to lead to paradox which is a sure sign that a theory is almost certainly wrong. AGW predictions never seem to come true and the powers that be were trying to panic everyone into their already prepared solutions which is about as clear of a sign you can get that a scam is in the works.
