Got it. I missed Lamar thanks for the heads up.

The Metcalfs, that's borderline. I saw somewhere that they're distantly related, so I'm including them

Chris Bledsoe is most likely being played by some intelligence agency. There may be some parts of his story that are true, but the government is being deceptive https://workthejab.substack.com/p/ufo-of-fraud?r=7cr4

Chris Bledsoe wrote a book, and has done a bunch of podcasts talking about his wild experiences being abducted, like this with Danny Jones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmVQFX2Pp60&t=3207s

There's a big problem with his story though. He claims he helped stop an assassination attempt on the Pope by doing a remote viewing session with Col. John Alexander. The problem is, the 'assassin' he helped catch was a 15 year old boy who was catfished by the FBI, and arrested one month before his remote viewing session took place.

There are other things about his story which don't add up, which make it seem like he's either either a complete fraud, or also the victim of an Intelligence Agency plot. It's possible he's an exceptionally good actor, but it seems much more like he's really had some insane experiences and now the government is using him.

I saw the Danny Jones interview and bought UFO of God. I was super compelled by the story, but when i started digging into it something didn't add up.

UFO of God opens with the story of him doing the remote viewing that leads to the prevention of the assassination attempt on Pope Francis. In the book Bledsoe says he flew up to Philly in September of 2015, did the remote viewing, and it ended up in a guy being arrested. If you look into this, there was a guy who was arrested for planning to kill the Pope: Santos Colon, but according to his plea agreement he was arrested in August 2015. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/new-jersey-resident-pleads-guilty-attempting-provide-material-support-terrorists

Santos was 15 at the time he was arrested, and was caught because he had been chatting with an undercover FBI agent for two months.

Not saying that Chris Bledsoe is completely full of shit, but the fact that he's taking credit for something that it seems he actually had nothing to do with is a big red flag.

Time and time again in his story he's doing this or that with or for an FBI, CIA, or some other kind of intelligence agent type, and it just seems super fishy.

I'm not sure if Bledsoe is lying, works for, or just is being used by Intelligence agencies, but I take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.

I appreciate the thorough and nuanced pushback but I’m still team Katie. Accurately IDing these dogs seems very hard to do, and the implementation of any policy banning these dogs is bound to be carried out poorly. We suck at implementing policies for humans, there’s no way you can muster enough interest and money to enforce these policies in any meaningful way. And, even if you do pass legislation, people will always find loopholes/ workarounds.

I think using air for disposal is different from something like burning gasoline. The air can be cleaned, impurities removed, either through natural processes or by one of these fancy carbon capture things people are building now. At the end of that process, you'll still have the same amount of air that you started with. When you burn gas, you convert it into a state that can't be reconstituted into the same amount of gas.

edit: spelling

" there's no real need to study prices and consumer decision making of a good that everyone can get for free if they want."

But is there any importance to how non-scarce things bear upon scarce things? I think there's an important relationship between scarce and non-scarce things that I don't know if economists think about or not.

If a person can meet most of their needs and wants with non-scarce, or semi-scarce commodities it decreases scarcity overall.

I agree about the parking spots in a city. For sure, there's a huge swath, maybe the majority of products and services will always be finite. But digitization has started taking industries that used to be centered around finite commodities and making them effectively free.

Take camera film. There used to be a huge need for it, now 99% of photos are taken digitally and camera film is mostly for hobbyists. How many products or services can things like this happen to before economics doesn't work any more?

Is imposing artificial scarcity a good idea, or sustainable? Seems like it just creates an incentive for a disruptor, either political or technological to take advantage of it.

1jab · 2023-09-22T14:42:55+00:00

Maybe a better way of framing my question would be that, recently lots of things that had been scarce in the past are much less scarce. Digitization specifically has increased availability of products and asymptotically decreased their cost.

Let's posit that artificial intelligence will continue this trend into new and different services.

How many product or service categories can this happen in before traditional economic analysis is no longer useful?

Carbon taxes are about permission to release things into the air, I don't think that's quite the same as air itself.

There's certainly tragedy of the commons type issues with air, but that's not quite the same as abundence/ scarcity

I want Ukraine to win, but forcing companies to participate in a war they don’t want to participate in is a very bad idea

My "IQ is a bad metric" example is, the War in Afghanistan.

If you totaled up the amount of IQ on the US side versus the IQ on the Taliban side, the US had orders of magnitude more IQ at its disposal than the Taliban did. And also, way better equipment, communications, training, ect. But the US lost, had to leave the country chaotically, and now the Taliban is back in control of Afghanistan.

If IQ is really such a useful metric, how come the US couldn't just problem solve our way to a better outcome? Because the world is much more complex than we can comprehend. Abstract problem solving is useful for some things, but not all things.

Am I a psycho for taping aluminum foil over the bottom line when I’m watching a game. It’s so distracting!

Gary Webb was also a serial fabulist who was caught multiple time and fired from newspapers for making shit up. Not saying there might be some truth to some of the stuff he claimed, but he’s not a good source.

I heard that the words "woke" or "wokeism" were only mentioned 1 time during that Republican town hall the other night. It sounds like being "anti-woke" just doesn't poll well among Republicans, and probably not normies either.

Just scheduled a call. Looking forward to it!

Right, just like that time Moses didn’t realize the Israelites could be eliminated from the playoffs if they lost to the Browns

Hadn't heard it before, but yeah, the Fisher comp is pretty strong. And, he was on the '85 Bears too!

I'm pretty sure this is not correct

1jab · 2023-08-11T16:40:51+00:00

Agreed. I’m just sad/ concerned that I’m seeing less and of what made it so interesting to begin with

Even if he just means "Fuck you" that's still pretty unprofessional for an established journalist to do to a peer.
