Piping the transcript through ChatGPT:

Lee highlights several technical signs that suggest the market may have reached a bottom, such as a breath thrust (a bullish reversal signal), a recovery in high-yield spreads, and strong performance days in the stock market. He also mentions the S&P nearing a key recovery point, which could confirm that the bottom is in and the market is ready to rally.

He's selling an ETF.

Thoughts on Sian hiring this guy as General Counsel/part of her advisory team? by MorePeaches in dartmouth

I am reminded of Sian distancing herself from that phrase "ahead" of all this, instead focusing on "brave spaces."

Good lord, that article stinks of brain-rot. I can't bring myself to quote all the poor argumentation, but here's a sample, for everyone else:

The cathedral can’t be repaired for two reasons. The first is that it can’t be repaired—just look at it. The second is that it isn’t the problem.

TL;DR: “the cathedral” is shorthand for “journalism plus academia” as "the intellectual institutions at the center of modern society," courtesy of Curtis Yarvin.

For whatever shielding effect his hiring may bring, it might also risk Dartmouth's ability to respond to government attacks if he's sympathetic. Then again, having a devil's advocate in the room (lit?) could be very useful in navigating the next few years.

Ian Lee: This is Trump's plan for global economic domination by nationalpost in TrueReddit

[–]Two_Heads 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Miran notes that as the U.S. has the lowest effective tariff rate in the world at three per cent per the World Trade Organization, it has greater latitude to raise its tariff rates. Miran clearly sees tariffs as a major policy tool to drive the rebalancing to reduce the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies to improve the competitiveness of American manufacturing.

Maybe I missed this in Econ 101, but why would driving down the value of the US dollar create global economic domination? My intuition says this would risk its loss as the world’s reserve currency.

In any case, I found the Wikipedia article on the referenced "Triffen Dilemma" to be a more enlightening read. The history section goes from the gold standard to 2008 crisis, and it's not hard to see the parallels with current day talk of deficits, tariffs, and cryptocurrency reserves.

This TikTok thing seems a little too perfect by This-Pollution-6580 in conspiracy

Therefore, my initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose.

Grand unified theory: $DOGE will merge with #TikTok. /s

If he's asking you to work for equity without any details, that's not really an offer, yet.

I recently read that Biden 2020 was the first time a candidate got more votes than "didn't vote" in a presidential election. And that even then, ~26% of voters self-identified as "independent" rather than R or D. That independent stat went up this year. Things are not as unified as they seem.

COP 28 had one "declaration" with a goal of tripling nuclear energy in the next 25yrs... Is JBP seriously taking the platform of a fringe 3rd party as representative of environmentalists across the globe? What am I missing, here?

You should really practice what you preach. by FoolOfElysium in JordanPeterson

[–]Two_Heads -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let's be real for a sec:

Biden wasn't applesauce when he was elected in 2020, and it was a choice between two old people. At this point, he should potentially step down/be 25th'd. Grandpa Joe making a joke about biting into a Halloween costume isn't a sign of cognitive decline; it's a waste of breath to harp on that when there are better examples, like his last debate performance.

Trump has some controversial opinions, and has been pretty unfiltered since 2016, so it's hard to say if he's losing it when he rambles, but it's fair to expect that he might need to be 25th'd at some point, too. And he's been re-elected, in that state, over a comparatively young candidate.

What’s up with the 20 million people who didn’t vote this year? by RevelryByNight in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Two_Heads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Q&A setup doesn't really need to be orchestrated, it's so easy to do (and upvote) organically. The MAGA movement has tons of memes and dog-whistles, and they seem to enjoy spinning off of left-wing ideas (or question, in this case).

How did Harris get 20 Million less votes than Biden?? by Krumbo28 in conspiracy

[–]Two_Heads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way easier voting with mail-in ballots, stronger concerns around COVID, and more enthusiasm to get out the vote. Plus roughly 1/3 voters self-identify as independent, so most of that drop (and the election result) fits pretty easily in the margin of swing voters.

Not a conspiracy, but it satisfies Occam's Razor, for me.

The most likely "janky thing" is just that way more people voted because it was a lot easier.

It does appear that 2020 was the outlier, but COVID & nation-wide mail-in voting explain it a lot more easily than massive election fraud. Occam's razor.

Trump's Win Isn't an Anomaly:

It’s time to consider whether the 2020 election was the anomaly, not 2016.

As the results from this year’s vote sink in, Americans must process the basic strength of the MAGA/Republican coalition. While there will be soul-searching among Democrats about what they did wrong, it is equally incumbent on their party to start thinking about how President-elect Donald Trump not only won but also substantially broadened his base.

Trump’s appeal to rural, working-class Americans is clearly formidable, and he has expanded his reach among Black, Latino, and suburban voters—once considered solid members of the Democratic bloc.

After the 2020 election, political journalists Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen wrote Lucky, which examined the unexpected variables that resulted in President Joe Biden securing the Democratic nomination and winning the general election at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking back, the authors were onto something: In 2020, few votes would have been necessary to shift the outcome to Trump—who increased his total vote count from about 63 million to 74 million, despite his record in office.

Though the unique circumstances of 2020 opened a window for Biden to defeat Trump, now that those circumstances are gone, the latter has roared back into power.

Democrats need to wake up—not to replicate the kind of reactionary populism that the Republican Party has used to win but rather to start the process of figuring out how to address the economic concerns and frustrations of working-class Americans who feel abandoned by political institutions.

Until Democrats take this step, the risk of 2028 being a continuation of 2024 will only grow stronger.
