The fundamental reason I got into crypto is because I’ve long been convinced that the combination of: - Unsustainable debt - Aging population - Higher energy prices - Vast low skilled migration 5-10 years before widespread automation - Ineffectual and short term oriented political structures Would end up with the collapse of the middle class and the complete diminishment of much of the West (ex the US). It’s now clear that the transition to chaos and third world living standards is happening across much of Western Europe. Crypto as an asset class has always been the primary escape valve and is woefully undervalued.

The latest viral campus rape story is actually quite bad, but is very different from how it will be used by feminists: two girl students at fashion college invited over a non-student named Freire, from the Bronx, to deal “cocaine” to them; he knew it was fentanyl (bought from Peralta Cabrera—who wasn’t present, but was aware of the intended use), insisted they snort it in front of him, then raped one of them after both were rendered unconscious, then took pictures of her & sent messages about all of this to his friends, then waited for 45 minutes as they both overdosed before falsely alerting campus security that they had just had too much to drink; one of them was revived with narcan, while the other died. Somehow this will only result in more opprobrium against white college boys. Our system is willing to sacrifice countless women in the name of its obsessive blood libels against the demographic responsible for creating every single positive aspect of our system.

My boss was talking about how once someone broke into her car and stole everything but the $300 bottle of wine and the French intern goes “ah it was a Muslim that did it!”

En France, on a inventé le Concorde. En 1969, il décollait et atteignait Mach 2 symbole de la grandeur gaullienne, conçu pour défier les Américains. En 1972, le TGV 001 battait le record mondial à turbine (318 km/h). En 1981, le TGV électrique reliait Paris à Lyon à 260 km/h. En 2007, il pulvérisait encore le record mondial sur rail : 574,8 km/h. Dans les années 70, le plan Messmer lançait le plus grand programme nucléaire civil de l’Histoire : 58 réacteurs, jusqu’à 70-80 % de notre électricité, une indépendance énergétique que le monde entier nous enviait. Dassault, Sud-Aviation, EDF, Framatome, la SNCF : nos ingénieurs étaient les meilleurs. On avait dix à vingt ans d’avance sur presque tout le monde. Puis 1981, Mitterrand. Nationalisations massives (banques, acier, chimie, électronique, aéronautique). Semaine de 39 heures. Lois Auroux. Charges sociales qui explosent. Syndicats tout-puissants. Fiscalité punitive. Droit du travail rigidifié. En moins de cinquante ans, le socialisme a transformé un pays d’ingénieurs conquérants en un pays de grèves, de délocalisations et de stagnation relative. L’industrie est passée d’environ 28 % du PIB à 11 %. Le Concorde a été abandonné. Notre nucléaire a été presque démantelé pendant des décennies faute de choix politique mortifère. Ce n’est pas le destin, c’est le prix d’une idéologie qui a préféré redistribuer et réglementer plutôt que construire et innover. A bon entendeur.

The most beautiful thing about Quebec's French language laws is that it repels Pakistanis from moving here

非洲真的很缺水吗？其实“懒”才是他们穷的根本原因。有数据显示，非洲地下水储量是地表的100倍，为何他们不挖井，而是到处找水？ 我之前跟着一支海外工程队在那边待了快八个月，亲眼见过太多让人匪夷所思的事，说出来真的好多人都不敢信。我们当时的营地建在一片开阔的草地上，刚过去的时候要解决用水问题，队里找了个测水的师傅随便找了个地方打井，打到不到十二米就出了清水，水质甜得很，除了供我们队四十多个人吃喝洗澡，还能引出一垄水浇我们开出来的小菜园，天天浇水都用不完。 而离我们营地不到两公里的地方，就有一个百十来口人的部落村子，我第一次跟着采购去村里的时候，就看见全村人都围着一个半米深的泥坑接水，那水浑得放半小时都澄清不了，水面上还飘着虫子和牲畜的粪便，小孩渴了蹲下来直接舀了就喝，大人也不管，不少小孩隔三差五就拉肚子，缺药耽误着能拖出大病，看着真的让人心疼。我当时就问翻译，咱们这边打井出了这么多水，他们咋不来打一口？翻译笑笑说，你往后看就知道了，不是水的事。 没过多久工程闲下来，队长说反正咱们设备人都有，不如免费帮他们打一口井，也算做件好事，结果第一步就卡壳了。村长带着一群人堵在我们选好的井址，说这块地是他们部落的公用土地，要打井就得给他们十袋面粉五桶食用油外加两箱汽水，不然别想动土。我们队里想着反正也不多，给就给了，就当换一口井给村里人用，这点东西对我们来说不算什么。 接下来要找几个当地人帮忙打下手搬东西，我们说好一天给一斤玉米面两瓶汽水，这个待遇在当地已经够一个三口之家吃饱喝足了，比他们自己瞎晃赚得多太多，结果来了五个人，干了不到四十分钟，全都撂挑子坐到树底下乘凉去了，说太阳太晒，会晒伤皮肤，祖宗规矩就是正午不能干活，要等太阳落山再干活。我们想着入乡随俗那就等，结果太阳落山之后，连个人影都没见着，第二天上午好不容易来了三个，还要求必须先给汽水玉米面，不给就不动手，我们给了之后，三个人晃悠着挖了不到半米，又坐下来歇着聊天了，一聊就是一上午，第三天干脆全都不来了，托人带话来说拿到的吃的够喝够吃好几天，先回家休息，吃完了再来。 最后没办法，我们工程队自己上手，不到十天就打出了一口出水稳定的井，还给他们在井口安了简易的提水架，放了两个大木桶，跟村长说以后大家随便来打水，只要别往井里扔垃圾就行。一开始村里人可开心了，天天排着队来打水，结果半个月不到，井口就堵了，我们过去一看，大大小小的树枝石头烂叶子堵了小半井，原来大家打完水垃圾随手就扔在井口边上，下雨一冲全进去了。我们免费帮他们清干净，反复跟村长和村民说不要扔垃圾，要保持井口干净，结果不到两个月，又堵了，之后村长干脆来找我们，说井坏了，你们再帮我们打一口新的吧，那语气说得理所当然，好像我们就该天天给他们收拾烂摊子。 我之前还碰到过一次，营地的围墙坏了一段，找了四个当地工人来修，说好一天干完给对应的工钱，结果四个工人八点开工，九点就歇着喝茶，十点吃早饭，十二点要睡午觉，睡到下午三点才起来，干了不到一小时又说要回家喂孩子，一天下来只码了不到五块砖，第二天还过来要全额工钱，说我们没给他们提供茶和饼，所以干得慢，钱不能少给，当时给我们队长气得直接把他们赶走了。 待得久了我才发现，这种事真的不是个例。有个二十多岁的小伙子天天来我们营地卖野果，我们看他挺活络，就说你干脆天天给我们营地送菜，我们一个月给你固定的工钱，比你卖野果稳定多了，结果他干了三天，第四天就不见了，过了一周晃悠过来，问他为啥不来，他说前三天赚的钱够花了，在家歇着花完了再来。还有国际援助组织免费给他们发蔬菜种子，教他们开荒种地，说种好了够全村吃大半年，结果一半种子被他们煮着吃了，剩下的随便往地里一撒，既不浇水也不除草，长不出来就接着等着发援助。 真的，很多人说非洲穷是因为气候不好历史遗留问题，可我们明明看到脚底下十几米就是清水，储量够整个村子用几十年，有人免费帮你打出来，就只要随手维护一下都做不到。他们不是没有力气，跑出去找野果跳篝火舞能折腾一整天，一说到干活赚饭吃，半小时就喊累；也不是没有资源，地下水摆在那，援助摆在那，就是不肯伸手去动。 我待了八个月见过好多口废弃的援助井，全都是打完没两年没人维护废了，当地人宁愿背着水桶走三四公里去接脏雨水，也不肯花半天时间清一清堵了的井口。你说这到底是延续了几千年的靠天吃饭的生活方式已经刻进骨子里改不了，还是真的就是“懒”才导致一直摆脱不了穷呢？你怎么看这件事？

The level of retardation happening in Canada rn almost surpasses belief. Let me try and explain: Canada has race-based sentencing guidelines. Native criminals are supposed to get shorter sentences than white criminals because the courts are required to consider racism, colonialism, etc. But at the same time, people who kill or assault native women are supposed to get longer sentences than people who kill or assault white women. Because, again, racism, colonialism, etc, The problem? It’s mostly native men killing and assaulting native women. And liberal judges have been caught in the legislative middle, wobbling stupidly on this comically high tightrope from which a fall to either side is a snake-filled pit of inevitable racism accusations. If they start cracking down on the killers and abusers of native women, the native male prison population will explode (racist). If they don’t, they are making it effectively legal for native women to be killed and abused (also racist). It’s like shitlib zugzwang. And no one in this entire country seems to have an IQ high enough to figure out how to deal with this.

Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent, My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov. The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison. I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return. I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something. Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act. Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged. Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working. A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats. This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried. There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go. Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him. I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them. This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one. Three things would change the math overnight. Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined. End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them. Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine. I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it. Respectfully, Everett A. Stern HSBC Whistleblower Founder and Intelligence Director, Tactical Rabbit

Jerry Seinfeld learned the hard way that nobody under 30 believes that sarcasm is real, they think it’s just an annoying affect that lets you say stuff you don’t want to be quoted saying

Equalization started in 1957. Quebec City was founded in 1608, and Montreal in 1642. When the British conquered Canada in 1763, it had 70,000 people and two major cities. John Molson would start the Industrial Revolution in Montreal, launching the first steam ship in Canada. The Lachine Canal was built, and Montreal became the economic, cultural, and political backbone of Canada for centuries. Its enormous wealth bankrolled the settlement of the prairies through the Canadian Pacific railroad, and allowed for its settlers to eventually strike black gold. Alberta was founded in 1905. Alberta exists because of Ontario and Quebec.

Zoos are crazy. You bring in violent creatures from other continents and then people get killed when they enter their areas. Imagine if there was a human equivalent to this

If I were to wake up tomorrow as hypothyroid as I was 10 years ago, here's what I'd do to fix it: • Eat a warm, satiating breakfast within 40 minutes of waking (daily, no exceptions). E.g., chicken soup + orange juice. • Eat at least 300 grams of net carbs/day, and make sure that carbohydrates are the key macro at every meal. The release of the active thyroid hormone (T3) directly corresponds to dietary carbohydrate intake. I'd focus on nutrient-dense carbs like ripe fruit (e.g., oranges, papayas, grapes, mangoes, cantaloupes), freshly-pressed orange & pomegranate juice, potatoes, squashes, and yams. • Ditch the plant milks and switch to warm goat milk, while also becoming diligent about getting at least 1 gram of calcium/day. • Ditch all polyunsaturated oils (e.g., canola, sunflower, soybean, rice, sesame oil), avoid fatty chicken & pork, and avoid all products that use these oils (Read labels. Most conventional pantry items, spreads, and dressings contain them). • Ditch all raw vegetables (temporarily) and ditch all raw, cruciferous vegetables permanently (always cooking them thoroughly before eating). Goitrogens in raw crucifers mess with iodine handling. • Stop over-training, reduce training intensity and/or frequency, and NEVER train fasted or hungry. • NO fasting. A minimum of 3 meals per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) + a potential bedtime snack. • Cut out all nuts and seeds (at least temporarily). • Eat at least 2,000 kcal/day. • No coffee on an empty stomach. • Warm ginger tea before every meal and in between meals for hydration. • Cook only with coconut oil (at least temporarily) • Get vitamin D levels up by taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day. • Selenomethionine or SelenoExcell taken 3-4 times a week + a pinch of wakame seaweed added to broths and soups. • Chicken liver, eaten 1-2 times per week, beef liver 1-2 times a month, and oysters 3-4 times a month for vitamins and minerals (can't make thyroid hormones without retinol, selenium, and iron). • Cut out grains (at least temporarily), especially wheat/gluten. • Check ferritin levels & full iron panel (to rule out an iron deficiency). • Get as much sun as possible during the day & use red light therapy in winter. • Warm meals (soups, stews) > salads or smoothies. • Don't neglect sleep by staying up too late. • Take rest seriously, don't push yourself to exhaustion. • Get magnesium levels up with magnesium chloride spray, Epsom salt baths, & magnesium taurate or mag glycinate supplements. • Consider taking a natural desiccated thyroid supplement for some time (to counter epigenetic memory + provide thyroid specific peptides). • Prioritize gelatinous meats (e.g., beef cheeks, oxtail, tripe) and shellfish over chicken breast. • Consider using small amounts of progesterone in the luteal phase.

Argentina and Argentine women are the single biggest drivers of the broken male/female dynamic across Latin America. Argentina was the epicenter of the "Marea Verde" (Green Wave) and the Ni Una Menos movement starting around 2015. They have a long history of intense psychoanalytic culture combined with hyper-politicized university movements, especially around UBA in Buenos Aires. They formalised the specific vocabulary, social media templates, and talking points of Spanish language radical feminism before any other Latin l nation. Because Argentina has the highest number of psychologists per capita in the world, they took clinical language, blended it with political grievance, and weaponized it into digestible social media content. Nearly every time I see Latinas bring up post feminist rhetoric, man-hating memes, or toxic "boss girl" ideology online, it’s some Argentine chick behind it.

“creampie” is the “demisexual” of sex. a say-nothing word that tries to kink-ify normalcy. I didn’t learn until my mid 20s it’s just a safe-horny way to slut up the radical act of having normal sex through completion. like you’re supposed to. wow Stacy so you’re a “demisexual” (wants emotional bond before intimacy = normal) who enjoys “creampies” (he orgasms during the act, as God inteded). that’s so quirky and neurodivergent of you. are you also an “empath” (I have feelings), an “ambivert” (I like people, sometimes), who’s “sapiosexual” (prefer he’s not an idiot) with a “breeding kink” (most profoundly normal thing a woman can have)? the redditor class is so painfully unerotic they hide behind pseudo-kink to mask their horrifyingly unsexy ways.

Jung dreamed of murdering Siegfried with the help of a swarthy brown, right before WW1. He dreamed of killing the heroic archetype right before the artillery shell, mustard gas, and machine gun killed a whole heroic generation. The death of the heroic coincided with the death of magic. The essentialist character of nationalism vanished with the great wreck of the nations of Europe. What came out of it has been a long search for the return of the heroic and the magical and finding only pale substitutes for the genuine article. The Chymical Marriage of Christian Rosencreutz describes how the three pairs of kings and queens were killed, and then their executioner was killed, and the royal bodies and blood were rendered down. From the offal, came a pheonix, a beautiful and perfect being, that likewise was killed. From its death came the new king and queen. Different, iterated, transformed. This is the process that Europe followed. The kings and queens died, as monarchy itself was killed. What followed was beautiful if incomplete, and likewise died. From that emerged the new synthesis, a new crowned pair of monarchs of a new form. Alchemy is geopolitics is the meditation on the heroic character of man in a world of magical realism.

Don’t try this at home.

Boomer Hippies spent their youth drinking and getting high and having promiscuous sex and aborting their kids and protesting war. Then they grew up as adults and sent all the factory jobs overseas and loaded up $40 trillion in debt. Then they became grandparents and DEI racially discriminated against the younger versions of themselves for women and foreigners, while voting for endless overseas war they would've draft-dodged. Now they spend their retirement lecturing kids about hard work, sacrifice, and moral character. They are soft, decadent flower children who see themselves as disciplined, grim, stoic, battle-hardened aristocratic patrician heroic statesmen. And they never grew up. They are prodigal children who sold off the family farm inherited over 300 years and 12 generations. Then they relocated to a mansion and maxxed out the credit cards of their children and sold their children into debt slavery serfdom. They deindustrialized the American military and turned the Army into a welfare jobs program for black lesbians, sold off the shipyards, and sent the semiconductor factories to Taiwan... a small vulnerable island off the coast of China. They set their children and grandchildren up to fight and die in WW3 with old, rusting ships and low stockpiles of missiles and ammunition. At home, they imported Mexican drug cartel sicarios and MS-13 Satanic dismemembement to rape and murder their children and grandchildren, as long as the cartel sicarios were willing to mow their lawns as cheap foreign labor global arbitrage. That's their legacy. And they're proud of it.

So it turns out it's better for weed to be illegal, but the state mostly doesn't care if you get high, unless there's a problem It's better for monogamy to be socially normed and couples to allow small, short affairs if they don't tear families apart What else is like this
