“We are easily convinced by data.” Few questions:

- Does it make sense to inflation adjust the rates?

- Bet there are stats going back to Greek and Roman times and perhaps earlier.

- So is it fair to say that as demand for bonds has risen the rates have gone down, i.e., as more funds are opened rates drop? That makes sense since supply is not constrained and the rate needed to attract funds drops with demand.

- So is the hyper-demand really a reaction against perceived uncertainty (not “risk”) in other asset classes?

- Does this suggest zero inflation?

Saw an interesting roller coaster video done by Gary Shilling of historical housing prices and inflation — they seem highly corrleated
