I've been asking ChatGPT to summarize Mark Carney's book Values: Building a Better World for All.

First, I wanted a broad summary of each of the book's chapters. Then, narrowed it down chapter by chapter, trying to understand the current Prime Minister's philosophy.

It's honestly quite a mind blowing experience, reading Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, then transitioning to Carney's vision.

I shouldn't be shocked that a central banker wants to excerpt so much control over markets and people's lives. But it is quite scary to think about all the people who welcome it.

Peterson in his article asks us to contemplate the statement in his book: a business that doesn’t adapt to the green economy will not be allowed to exist and to juxtapose that to the individual. The individual that doesn’t adapt to the green economy will…..

He’s a Malthusian. He wants a static fixed order, zero growth and zero upward mobility.

The eco aspect is just a way of morally justifying it.

Even during the COVID bullshit, I didn't let my business get political. I didn't want to alienate our clientele.

However, I've been thinking about the potential need of taking a political stand. Some may believe it to the far fetched but I don't think so.

I fear that people like Carney may destroy my living. Hockey requires a lot of energy to power the arenas. There were already Canadian politicians pushing for alternatives to ice rinks, due to climate change, through legislation.

I don't want to sound the alarm too early, because that could be just as destructive to my business as being too late.

I started my business precisely because it was somewhat ideal for the Covid situation. I’m pretty open about my position politically, but I stick to the economics. Focus on cost of living and it’s hard to upset anyone, sometimes you have to explain the ins and outs of inflationary spending and how it’s bad for us all.

imo, carney is a man of evil.

The deeper I'm getting into the LLM discussion, the heavier I lean in that direction.

The problem is, for the normies, saying it plainly will shut them down. They'll see it as complete bias.

atyh 9mo ago

oh yeah.

you cant lead with that.

you have to connect.

im just voicing that to you because youll get it.

the first time i saw him, i felt immediately that he was a forerunner of what they want to come. and it is deeply bloody and evil. it actually motivated me as to taking undermining them seriously

Nic 9mo ago

Yeah, I definitely agree with you. Although true, leading with that would not go well haha.

I might actually read his book now. I told myself I'd stop reading things I hate, but I feel like I should with this one.

atyh 9mo ago

not to be presumptuous, or talk like i know you, but it seems like you actually have a gift for that.

lol. maybe it’s your goalie brain… all that time watching and anticipating blocking the moves of the adversary.

we need more goalies

Honestly, I just like exploring ideas. I realised a while back that it is my best attribute, but also my biggest weakness.

It's how I discovered Bitcoin, but how I also fell into the shitcoin hole for a bit.

I do the same for work. I truly believe that what my partner and I do is lightyears ahead of everyone else, but I still read other goalie coaches' material to see how they're thinking, even if I think lots of it is kinda stupid.

I think reading their material gives a bit more credibility when disagreeing or disliking and idea or individual. But sometimes I wonder if it's even worth the hassle.

It could see how it helps solidify your own thoughts.

Nic 9mo ago

It definitely does.

When working with pros who worked with other coaches, I can argue the other coaches' viewpoints better than they themselves can. So when I explain them the alternate logical route, they get a better picture as to why my pefered system is more effective and efficient.

I think it helps build trust with the athlete too, when instead of shitting on the alternative, you show them you really understand it deeply, but just see to many flaws in it.

Exactly, this is approach no matter the area you are working in.

how many of the people welcoming it understand it though? almost none.

Nic 9mo ago

Almost none. Most will only know as much as what the media narrative is.

Sacred Peak 9mo ago

following you 🤙

the difficulty is that so many people will not listen and don't want to understand.

i hear a ton of CBC rhetoric these days in cafés. it's not like the CBC bias is new but people don't want to see what it is.

Wyatt Claypool seems to have a good idea of what is going on. i'm expecting election interference, sadly.

Nic 9mo ago

I'm quite pessimistic on Canada as a whole. I don't see a path off the road we're heading towards.

Maybe if Poilievre wins, we can at least slow down the car to take a better look around for exits.

I'm just not seeing it right now. I don't think Canadians are radical enough to push for real change.

Sacred Peak 9mo ago

I want to either leave Canada or for Alberta to join the US. BC is past the tipping point, probably Ontario as well. Quebec can fsck themselves.

We aren't in a position with my husband's work to move though.

I'm worried. Especially about narrative, freedom. and censorship. Those 3 things reinforce the ugly direction we are moving in.

Nic 9mo ago

Even being in Alberta, I worry about the future of the province. Lots of my friends and family are leaning towards the provincial NDP & federal Liberals parties.

Too many espouse this sentiment:

ugh

the NDP will ruin Alberta

people do not get that while in the mid late 20th century up to maybe the 80s yes the money was in the right wing. now with Globalism and green energy the money in on the left.

the corruption comes from the money
