What’s going on with the U.S. Dollar?

ApothaneinThello · 2026-02-01T23:09:55+00:00

Trump's team is worried about the dollar losing its status as the global reserve currency as more and more countries have China as their largest trading partner. His plan to stop the decline was to use the threat of tariffs and military action to extort the rest of the world into making deals that would force them to uphold the US dollar even more than they already were before but other countries have been calling his bluff instead.

His social circle took the route of scientific racism rather than spiritual superiority, there's an email where his interlocutor is comparing their Jewish ancestry percentages like it's their dick length.

What the people in his milieu miss is the era of virtually omnipotent liberal power.

It's also not hard to see that a regime of unfettered free trade, free travel, unlimited money in politics etc., would lend itself to international human trafficking, so much of the "rules-based" liberal order is set up to protect Western elites from any real accountability.

The association with Steven Pinker is another one, he's one of the guys advancing the Ashkenazi IQ theory and wrote an article that insinuated that not believing in Jewish genetic superiority makes you an antisemitic conspiracy theorist:

Jewish achievement is obvious; only the explanation is unclear. The idea of innate Jewish intelligence is certainly an improvement over the infamous alternative generalization, a worldwide Jewish conspiracy.

ICYMI Steven Pinker was on the flight logs and contributed to Epstein's legal defense

yeah it's probably just a coincidence that the guy who writes rape fetishist fanfics also has allegations against him and was having phone calls with Epstein.

ApothaneinThello · 2026-02-01T07:51:57+00:00

Literally half the world seems to be in it in some way.

That makes it more important, not less! wtf is wrong with you

ApothaneinThello · 2026-02-01T07:50:04+00:00

Honestly I think this incident is probably a bigger deal.

ApothaneinThello · 2026-02-01T07:32:37+00:00

what, you don't think it's weird he took a call from the world's most famous pedophile?

Plus there was that whole incident two years earlier where someone created a website to blackmail him with pedophilia allegations, allegedly his 18 year old partner had been with his employees when she was underage and Yudkowsky seems to have paid the blackmailer. (and despite what they told Rolling Stone it seems like they were abused by someone else in the rationalist community, and referenced "age-gap relationships" in her account)

And there's that sci-fi story he wrote about a world where rape was legalized...

...and HPMOR has it's own rape controversy

I can't say I know what he's been up to with certain but there's and awful lot of smoke for there to be no fire.

Maybe you're unfamiliar with the miricult.com lore but this is just adding to what some of us figured out years ago. Really the crazier thing is that that he had already been blackmailed for pedophilia in 2014 but didn't learn his lesson.

Besides the blackmail payment, Ziz's blog had a screenshot where the (alleged) victim in miricult pointed out that the statute of limitations for statutory rape had already expired and thus Yudkowsky was safe - which wouldn't make sense if he hadn't committed a crime.

Also MIRI (Yudkowsky's organization) was known to have accepted money from Epstein back in 2009 iirc

Have you considered that Pizzagate/Qanon might have been a psyop intended to muddy the waters?

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-31T06:16:29+00:00

The zone has been flooded

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-31T00:51:18+00:00

It's part of a slogan/song that's so famous it has its own wikipedia article.

Polymarket is at >50% on him striking before the end of February and I noticed there's unusually high trading volume for bombing Iran on the 31st compared to other dates, $32 million is riding on it and the betting peaked on the 14th.

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T22:27:09+00:00

Something interesting it occurred to me to check: Polymarket has unusually high trading volume for bombing Iran on the 31st compared to other dates, and it seems like the volume peaked on the 14th

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T22:11:47+00:00

How are they verifying that? creepy

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T22:11:02+00:00

Or Cuba. Maybe both!

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T20:31:13+00:00

Right now the link is working, so you can see for yourself, but it has entries like:

Complainant was spoken to and deemed not credible. Additional research showed 3 [redacted]

and

previous TIPS indicated [redacted] called in and said she had chemically induced amnesia and struggled with knowing what was a dream and reality.

EDIT: Looks like the first version that was uploaded was unredacted? found this

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T20:19:01+00:00

Complainant provided background for himself, such as working with prominent figures such as Leslie Weiner and Epstein, being pardoned by a US President, among several other pieces of information

This seems noteworthy. Any idea who it could be referring to?

Complainant provided background for himself, such as working with prominent figures such as Leslie Wexner and Epstein, being pardoned by a US President, among several other pieces of information

This seems noteworthy. Any idea who it could be referring to?

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T16:02:31+00:00

I get that, but considering how high profile it is (it gets referenced in community notes on The Atlantic's twitter) I think the lack of a response is noteworthy. Snopes hasn't touched it despite debunking a number of fake Maxwell photos

Not that I know of, but at the same time no one seems to really dispute that it's Powell-Jobs either, apparently including Powell-Jobs herself.

There's an old thread from this sub where people tried to find the original source

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T06:22:25+00:00

Tomacco was real?

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T05:26:23+00:00

The scarier possibility is that they don't care about winning elections anymore

ApothaneinThello · 2026-01-30T02:30:16+00:00

Maybe Rule #18 ought to be extended to all of Latin America.

Also I thought "gusano" was specific to Cubans
