It used to be a pet peeve of mine that linguistic drift has led people to use the word “conspiracies” when they mean “conspiracy theories”. But really, it’s very helpful - the sloppy terminology betrays sloppy thinking, so these people disqualify themselves right off the bat. If someone can’t keep these terms separate, they aren’t prepared to think clearly about the topic at all.

I actually buy the idea that $80k was the bottom. The normies who got in in the past 18 months are all anchored to $100k in their minds. At $126k they were profit-takers, and $80k they are buyers. In the past, there were many, many people whose only anchor value was $0. I don’t think very many of them still exist, if any. $80k is still above the previous cycle’s ATH… perhaps we just chopped off the blow off top and the soul-searching crash when we went Wall Street with this thing.

The normies I know were just talking about buying the dip. This might be max pain for us plebs only, because we worship the cycle. We are the ones who religiously believe now is the time to sell.

Max pain is down until February when my next project finally starts and I have dry powder again, then rapid bear trap as those cuckbucks come in, and then down only all year

I’m reading Human Smoke and it’s not making me feel bullish on the next decade of human history

There’s so much to knock Americans for, but the amount of smiling we do is a feature, not a bug. Reserved, aloof Europeans are missing out on the free oxytocin.

I owe my sanity to Saif for the “just the patties” McDonald’s quarter pounder trick. Works like a charm for the whole family, including the pregnant wife and 4-year-old girl. Layover before international flight = success 💪

If threats, verbal abuse, and physical violence are so common in the workplace you administer that you need a sign like this, it might be time to look within

There are four Outback Steakhouses exactly 25 minutes from my house. I don’t know what that means but it seems wild to me.

To quickly gauge whether you’re talking to a critically thinking person, there are a few questions I like to ask: History is full of pseudosolutions that seemed like progress to everyone at the time but were eventually completely abandoned, like Prohibition, Eugenics, and the lobotomy (which won the Nobel prize). What are some possible pseudosolutions in society today? History is full of governments and the media lying, and false flag events and hoaxes, like the Zimmerman Telegram, the Gulf of Tonkin, the Reichstag Fire. What do you think are some recent media lies that are false flags or hoaxes? History is full of secret societies and intelligence agencies planning and doing shady stuff to manipulate world events, like Operation Northwoods, MK-Ultra, Cointelpro, Operation Gladio, The Bavarian Illuminati, the P2 lodge in Italy, etc. What are some operations you think might be going on now?
