I got ESPN+ last month and have been watching MMA again. But that’s not the point of the note…

Being captive to ads I noticed that the commercials cover a narrow range: fast food / junk food, pharmaceuticals, cars (debt instruments) and alcohol. That’s it.

I can’t believe how disgusting and dysfunctional the fiat world is.

Fast food and junk food is literally poison. Pharmaceuticals are literally poisons that are unscrupulously “prescribed” to paper over the damage junk food does. Debt is literally a form of slavery. And alcohol is an addictive poison that most people use to escape reality and feel okay for a short time.

Hard to fathom what is “normal” today. I am so thankful to not be part of it. They’ll never take me alive.
