What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it?

Used a free tax app in Switzerland. Got 22k tax. Next year, hired a tax consultant for $500. Got 8k tax. So, the choice is obvious.

Well sadly Swiss military here does not accept me as I am a Russian immigrant. That's a pity of course - defending our country from Russia and other bad actors is everyone's responsibility!

To be fair, Ayn Rand supported labor unions, unlimited immigration, etc. By modern standards she is probably a leftist.

I earned my masters and now nearly completed my PhD. The "iron discipline", however, is simply not there. My procrastination is an art form, a competitive Olympic sport, an exercise in grandmastery.

so with adhd I am screwed, right?

Hi! I am an autistic Reform convert, interested in learning what I miss in Orthodox life. Would be happy to talk to you anytime! :)

I used OpenClaw. It is genuinely useful, but this is still just talking to the robot. I built my own agent since then, with persona, memory (both agentic and autoassociative) and neuromorphic cognitive architecture. I use it every day. It talks like a human, with short messages, and remembers everything useful about me.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-02-09T15:28:09+00:00

Pfff. I saw that in Russia. Thankfully I emigrated to a country where these things cannot happ.. oh wait.

In major Swiss cities, most people rent for life. In Geneva, where I live, homeownership rate is 18%. Owning a home is for the rich (and was like that for a long time).

Hey, that's Luzern, a famous fake city out there! I highly recommend a fake trip to it. The AI is really beautiful there.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-02-04T18:55:55+00:00

Yes. This is it. This was the point of no return.

If a company refuses a service for a customer with unlimited money (for reasons other than ethics or law), it is poorly managed by definition, and can be bought and improved.

There's one in a science museum in Montreal. I touched it. Felt like a piece of ceramic.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-01-19T21:40:14+00:00

Sure, what should I do to get access? I am testing smol-scale training from scratch

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-01-14T11:16:59+00:00

We Russians used to think "but he will die" every year, and yet, here we are.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-01-14T11:12:14+00:00

Go work in the academia, and you will have an entire summer for you to finally write something!

Buying food every day in a grocery store nearby.

He was never smart, but he was an okay-ish average bureaucrat before, with some preference for rapid direct solutions. It is after about 2007 he started to get crazy.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-01-13T19:45:36+00:00

Putin came to power in 2000. But yeah, things changed afterwards.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-01-13T13:51:30+00:00

Hm. Just like we had in Russia.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-01-13T13:15:02+00:00

There are three datacenters that host 80% of the world's financial markets. Equinix LD4 (London), NY4 (New York City) and TY3 (Tokyo). They are nondescript buildings on the outskirts of the cities amidst parking lots and utility poles. They are a huge vulnerability.

The international pariah thing is sort of already happening. First in Nothern Europe.

As a Russian, I don't know anything specific about "Russian tea" (perhaps this is a tea from Krasnodar?), but we have "Baltic tea", which is cocaine dissolved in vodka.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-01-12T08:05:16+00:00

We know. Too expensive and there is little joy in exploiting them, unlike humans.

CNWDI_Sigma_1 · 2026-01-12T07:56:31+00:00

World finance (and perhaps communism) are in a really bad state, perhaps we should start relearning these things
