GM 😎 I’m working on a new project this year - gonna try for a July 1 launch. It’s … drumroll, please… my first book!!! 🥹 can’t wait to share more. Working on the landing page now. It’s starting to feel real!

When you hide what you really believe in order to manage the reaction of others, you are submitting to emotional manipulation.

I don't know how to say it any dumber than that.

When you allow the cowardice of those around you to dictate the way you express what you believe, you are enslaving yourself to their erroneous perceptions in an effort to manage their emotions for them. Don't do it.

What are you using?

GM.

I have a sneaking suspicion that a total debt jubilee is around the corner.

Is it reckless to run up as much debt as humanly possible and dump it all into Bitcoin in the hopes this happens?

#bitcoin

You either know or believe. Can't be both.

GM

Entire countries without electricy

Bitcoin still running

GM.

Today, 1 Cybertruck = 1 Bitcoin.

Let’s revisit this later.

Sir we are still flipping burgers.

The purpose of a system is what it does. The purpose of the gold market is rehypothecation.

GM 🥱☕🫡

GM Mahdood enjoy a Monday filled with dance 🕺

Can we finally admit putting all the torture and shit aside best president ever.

Wouldn't losing against clippers be like the worst thing that can happen 🤣

How are the playoffs going this season?

I usually follow Nuggets since the owners also own the football club i support - Arsenal

Unlikely to happen in our lifetimes, but I agree that truth ultimately prevails. People have become so committed to this idea that even sacrificing others for the greater good of protecting the planet is justified in their eyes. As long as fiat is around, they can create all sorts of artificial problems and sustain them for decades, also with a largely indoctrinated population to use for their interests. Some of us are just early at identifying a falsehood, despite most people subscribing to it.

Yes, these people aren't superhuman and don't have predictive capabilities beyond what other humans do, though they do have insights into behaviour that most of us don't, so it is possible to predict more likely outcomes. Not always, but sometimes.

We don't need to dissect the munitia of the points being made when you are indirectly conceding that plans were made without the knowledge of the general public against the interests of the public. How high up the chain and across the world the organisation happens can be debated, but the fact that there are levels of coordination happening all the time is indisputable from what I can see.

The intent may not be exactly what we think it is, but the outcomes are largely aligned. Everyone that gets involved stands to benefit in one way or another.

Take the climate stuff for example. You have a handful of scientists selected as the mouthpieces to be the experts who are paraded around to tell everyone how bad things are and how we "must act now". Politicians now act to appease a brainwashed population, most of which (politicians) also believe the "experts" and therefore think they are acting in good faith. They get their friends who run net zero startups funding to create solutions. Then some attend a meeting of politicians from around the world to make further plans to tackle the crisis. They start receiving donations from corporations and they become wealthy, in exchange for offering them government contracts and grants to solve this crisis.

Now we have incentives to bend the truth to continue getting richer. Maybe trial a 15 minute city? Another tax on driving? Restrict what foods people can eat by limiting access by culling healthy animals? Have people buy the cars they give grants for, when it objectively solves nothing.

Eventually people including other experts start pushing back and challenging the basis for these measures. But now it's too late, it has already become a trillion dollar industry and a cult that cannot be questioned. Published papers are pulled, papers challenging the status quo are rejected from journals because the findings are uncomfortable. Those involved anywhere in the scheme now have an interest to protect, because they depend on the industry in order to put food on the table. Doesn't matter whether it's real or not at this point.

The overwhelming majority isn't involved in some mass conspiracy, even though an entire sector is a scam. The basis for this scam had to be planned at some point, and then human self interest did the rest.

Sure, I get that. It's just that there is a big, big limit on how much they can direct and for how long.

And, 'they' or 'the man behind the curtain' is never a singular entity but multiple entities competing with each other in a zero-sum game. Very likely miserable folks who have to look behind their shoulders all the time.

Also, at one point, the 'curtain' will simply disappear if you follow the incentives and causalities. Things will become so obvious that it becomes boring.

The rest of us, peacefully co-operating with each other, are participating in a game that is the opposite of zero sum. We can just work around the obstacles these power-hungry maniacs place in front of us.

Failure to execute a plan means there was a plan in the first place, which means two parties conspired to form the plan. Just because it failed, doesn't mean the intent wasn't there.

That's the entirety of my point. I don't disagree that you can opt out, I am challenging the idea that there's no "man behind the curtain" when 9/10 times there's a man behind the curtain.

They may not work out the way the plan a lot of the time, but they have contingency plans for when they don't.

We're only halfway to 2030, are people renting their property now more than ever? Phones, laptops, cars, houses and even their money, via credit? I would say we are trending in the direction of those goals, absolutely.

Have they been adding mealworms and such to existing foods, hiding it behind not so obvious labels? Yup, and it's not slowing down either. People will be eating bugs and not even realize it.

The growth of electric cars is continuing, maybe not specifically where you are, but it's growing steadily every year.

What was accomplished with COVID? Well, firstly, the trillions they stole. Secondly was further banking restrictions, primarily on withdrawing cash. Then is the aftermath of all the shots which will continue to affect people for years to come. They trialled vaccine passports in certain locales, these are preemptive practices in order to determine how to approach this in the future based on how people responded. This is what the nudge units study and then advise on, or what they do at WEF meetings.

Digital IDs and passports are just around the corner, and these are the Trojan horse people weren't expecting when it comes to vaccine passports.

You can't tell me they didn't expect any pushback. Perhaps not to the level we have seen, but they obviously foresaw that there would be resistance. Their tactic at the time was to use the usual means to demonize those people, like jailing them, shutting their businesses and firing them, and closing their bank accounts in order to force submission.

Government's WERE unilaterally aligned, that's how everyone adopted the same WHO guidelines, 6ft distancing, masking, injections, staying at home, using the police to terrorise people and using celebrities to convince them that their tyranny was necessary. Exactly as rehearsed in their exercises. The few that weren't aligned had their leaders killed off, about 5 or 6 of them.

These people aren't smarter, they are unable to experience emotions, literal psychopaths. So they will engage in any underhanded tactics necessary to feel powerful.

With regards to Bitcoin, that one almost got through. Then blockstream and institutions came along to set the narrative, now we have a store of value that even the fed doesn't consider a threat anymore.

70% of the population will always be used against the 15-20% because they will adopt whatever the prevailing narrative is. But the fact remains that these people absolutely sat and planned this all out, with multiple outcomes and solutions to those. That's what they get paid to do, and that is the definition of conspiracy.

Modern democracy being called rule by consent is some wild fugazi

Yeah man

Slightly going off topic, I think Software is a massive wildcard in human history.

Nothing about the future feels inevitable to me. Kinda feel like we all have more agency than any generation that preceded us.

There'll definitely always be a cost for self-custody and trustless management of sats.

But that's just life 😂

Nothing is free

'Racial polylogism'

'Logical pluralism'

Ah interesting. Talking to real people is a great way to cut through the psyop.

Based on my observation, speaking strictly in terms of economic policy, no country in the world is actually implementating pure socialism or pure capitalism.

I think what we have right now is called in the Austrian school as 'Interventionism', an attempt at balancing socialist policies and capitalist policies. This is what a vast majority of governments, irrespective of political system, is actually implementating.

One could probably point to a few holdouts who are stuck in the past, but an explicit attempt at total socialism, like the revolution-types we saw in the last century, is either dead in most countries or dying a slow death in others.

The Austrian view is that interventionism is unstable.

One intervention will cause distortions, instabilities and inefficiencies which will lead to either calls for more interventionist or more free market reforms. Constant quibbling and psyop by two sides are symptoms. Ordinary people are treated like rats in lab experiments by economists to test and refine their hypotheses, models and equations on.

It is a tiresome and horrifying approach to economic policy and economics in general.

Tbh, I don't know.

The discourse about China is always about what the government and the party is doing and never about the people, culture and society.

It is too politicised and psyop-y.

Like when I think and talk about America or Europe, I can easily differentiate the two.

Found some names while trying to looking at China's economy from an Austrian perspective:

•Economist Zhang Weiying

•Book 'Chinese Entrepreneurship: An Austrian economics perspective' by Fu-Lai Tony Yu, Diana Kwan

Looking for more.

Opus No. 1!!!

Wait, you know that track? 🤣
