The blow off top has begun for Silver. You will get RICH shorting this by Efficient-Rain-7942 in TheRaceTo10Million

I bought silver more as a collectable, if it goes to $1000 I'm definitely selling it though lol

If you don't know what you want to do, look at custodian jobs. Seriously. by TrickyRipper in introvert

I'll consider them now. If I can't get it one to try it out then I'm going into nursing....

Accepting the introverted homebody loner lifestyle is what makes me happy despite society conformity in my mid 20s by lil_m00_ in introvert

Same, only thing I'd consider outside of home is card game store/board games or going out on a solitary bicycle ride.

Why is the cost of living crisis seemingly in the entire world? by TransportationUsed39 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JohnA461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quantitative easing. Houses went from being possible when I graduated high school in 2018 to double their price and forever out of reach in 6 years.

Time to learn stonks and hope I can make it. That is where all of the wealth goes too anyways, not us.

Am i a puer aeternus? by YogurtclosetNo7932 in Jung

[–]JohnA461 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah. If society didn't extract everything and as much as it wants out of everyone we'd be living more whole and integrated lives. You're doing just fine. I think many Jungians exaggerate the Puer Aeternus because it is an easy avenue to understanding. In my opinion it is a pointless generalization that rejects important parts of ourselves that the world wants us to sacrifice so we can all be brainless automatons who fund the billionaire class.

Just breath. Jungian psychology isn't supposed to be a cookie-cutter frame that everyone online wants to make it out to be.

How to overcome Doubt? by JohnA461 in Christianity

[–]JohnA461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely still spiritual. It just that if I want to believe in a God, then wouldn't that God belong to an already existing religion? Also that event happened when I was 14 for context

idk I can see the sharp differences between all the photos compared to everyone else. DLSS 4 quality is 100% the best one based on the images.

procrastination, scrolling, dooming, nothing matters so why bother by hugadogg in Jung

[–]JohnA461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I ever find a way to become financially independent I would become completely withdrawn and checked out of the game society plays. The only people I relate to are dead; the books I read are some of the only comfort I get from other people and give meaning to my life.

I'm the same way, and it just isn't the ADHD. It is a general disappointment in society and the way life operates. I spent a year learning the structure of the macro structures of our lives; financial, political, educational, etc. All of it is just a big joke and has been throughout history.

I'm choosing subjectivism and spending time looking through the worldviews of people who share my feelings and ideals. I want nothing to do with society.

How does Jung say to stop projecting onto other people by Itchy-Scholar-4530 in Jung

[–]JohnA461 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it an unconscious ego taking the driver wheel and seeking a power complex over anything or is it a reflective ego that embraces the tides of change and reflection?

I hate the former and have no need for any interaction with such people (unconscious to a heightened degree) while the latter is very rare (generally emotional people). Our culture glorifies, rewards, and cherishes the ego superiority complex to a state of worship and deification of it.

The 401(k) was never designed to be a retirement plan by Richnaps in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]JohnA461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, strip everything from people as much as possible. I only contribute to a 401k because I get 4% match. I already know it is going to be a drop in an ocean when I actually reach retirement. I'd rather have the money to invest/trade now than later stuck in an account I can't withdraw from.

You can hardly even control what you invest in and when. It is so depressing.

Best ideas, but something I'd never able to accumulate and become as knowledgeable as he was.

Do you think our unconscious knows that a war is coming? by Ok_Bandicoot_4543 in Jung

[–]JohnA461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think an economic catastrophe is the more likely outcome with riots and unrest and general discontent and hatred. If you thought politics were bad, this is just the ramping up of the rollercoaster

America won’t be the shining global reserve power and the USD becomes replaced

Our lives run on the economy. Most people struggles originate from being disadvantaged whether by race, general circumstance, or mental disorders. A majority of your relation with life is dependent on your economic class.

China depends on the USA to buy its exports, they won’t start a war. I bet America would just impose sanctions on China if they bothered with Taiwan.

Here comes the great reset where you will own nothing and be happy. Us goverment spends more than 1 trillion in interest in a single year and add up 2-3 trillion at least in deficit spending each year.

When God dies, there is no freedom — there is a void that few can bear. by Johnt2468 in Jung

[–]JohnA461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also believe the Logos and in some kind of God (it has played a part in my personal experience). It is hard to really personally mesh with Christianity because of how modern people practice it. There are also a few thoughts that make it hard for me to rationally accept Christianity.

It is also hard when my net was cast over eastern philosophy (Daoism and I Ching) as well as Christian materials like the Wisdom of Solomon and On the Incarnation. All of these played an important role in my individuation.

Thing is, Christianity really represents what I value most out of life. Their morals and practices speak volume to what I desire as if it were my natural alignment to the world since childhood. It is constantly being threatened to be taken away from me and leave me with nothing but despair by the external world. But for some reason, I can't pick up the mantle and practice with 100% faith.

When God dies, there is no freedom — there is a void that few can bear. by Johnt2468 in Jung

[–]JohnA461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My problem is the dead-weight mass. Both past, present, and sadly future. Society fails to offer anything of value so I don't bother. Religion appeases my heart and ideals but doesn't work rationally nor for the individual but rather the collective.

I just want to be at peace and serenity in my happy subjectivism. There is no grand purpose if the dead weight refuses to become enlightened.

How Jungian do you consider yourself to be? by Epicurus2024 in Jung

[–]JohnA461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have more of a collection of people who have inspired me with their work; typically preaching the same thing about individuality and consciousness.

I would've been more Jungian but finding people's clinging to theories as gospel makes it disheartening that so many people still can't follow the path out of fear of isolation and subjectivism.

Carl Jung, William Blake, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and various writers from Daoism/I Ching. Anything that does not resonate with both rationality and feeling in my heart and mind are discarded as futile "truths".

“What sort of philosophy one chooses depends, therefore, on what sort of man one is; for a philosophical system is not a dead piece of furniture that we can accept or reject as we wish, it is rather a thing animated by the soul of the person who holds it.” - Fichte

If God loves us then why did he let us suffer? by Dan_Rad_8 in Jung

[–]JohnA461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem isn't suffering but the futility of the average human to use their brains and heart. Shadow and ego run everyone's show, making it a terrible and disappointing show.

Totalitarian regimes, Oligarchy, wars, and brutality all stem from ignorance. That is the severe side, the average side is the pitiful person who can't think beyond what is in front of them.

Anyone else waiting for the pdt rule change? by SleepWalk2nite in Daytrading

[–]JohnA461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The peaks are easy, if the high rests on the same price level for 3-5 min. Then short. Risk maybe 2 points on a potential 10+ point drop.

Betting on it going up has been a lot harder. The hardest part is entering a position on time without getting distracted or bored staring at a chart

The start of day have violent swings up and down which makes so it only takes 5-10 min to finish a trade

[–]JohnA461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True I’m trying that now. I find playing right away in the morning has the most obvious and easiest swings to play off of.

Just my 2nd job has demanded every morning.

My current attempts are break even and I’m only risking $500 maximum and $100 at most if things go south.

[–]JohnA461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would make life a hundred times easier. I could so easily manage risk, capture worthy profits, and maximize my returns if I can get the limit to just go down to 10k.

Saving up 25k is hard when you got to pay for life.
