“You can’t time the market.”
Tell that to all the money I’ve made in the past couple of months. You can’t time the market. I can. I did.

Weird how much of what's taught formally about physical phenomena is reduced purely to the symbolic layer: e.g. memorize the name of the thing x that does y, memorize the name of phenomenon y, label x on the same vastly oversimplified line drawing you saw in the book.

And it doesn’t get any better. There are loads of people who can solve the equations for physical phenomena but have no real understanding of how any of it actually works. A former close friend of mine was this way. He could solve very complex equations about all sorts of things but had no ability at all to reason about any of it outside this framework. He looked like a genius inside this arena, but outside of it he was pretty much a dunce.
This is typical, I’ve found.
Real Resist
We've accelerated towards;
– A cashless society
– More surveillance
– Criminalisation of normal behaviour
– Hegemonic control
– Reporting on your neighbourThis won't be undone after Lockdown. But you'll be able to "work from home" BS.

I think this is, largely, correct. The elites on both sides want this. The progressives desire a future like this because they are moving to ecofascism (live in the pod, eat bugs, don’t travel or go outside). The conservatives desire it as just a natural part of their ideology.
Who and what will resist?

Look at that goofus at the upper left walking around with a fake AT4. I’ve held but never fired a real AT4, more than this dippy cosplayer has ever done. And that’s all this is: cosplay. Else, why lug around a fake AT4?
However, the gun on his right hip is a very real one. It’s a Smith and Wesson Model 29 with an 8¾ inch barrel. Very accurate pistol. I’ve fired one — my dad’s. I could hit a gnat at 50 feet with that puppy.
Ugh. These people blend the worst of insecure, performative masculinity and cosplay. They are such banal evil that you just feel embarrassed for them.
False Di
So many of these discussions have a false binary: It is either Free trade or No Trade! Cold War or Globalism!
Our trade policy is book length negotiated regulations — They can be renegotiated to be less favorable to a few Global corporations, and more favorable to US workers

The false choice, the false dichotomy, is used so often because it really works. I use it all the time to get my way because it’s so very effective.
