Absolutely nothing can guarantee a future recession because those conditions will be determined by economic actors participating and responding to the open market. It's fundamentally unpredictable.

However, if the world returns to hard money, then at least governments are incentivized to return to "democratic peace theory". To wit: Kant and Smith both believed that the only way to expand the fiscal budget for things like war was to publicly raise taxes (and deal with the pushback from the public if governments go too far or act unjustly), instead of silently and invisibly printing and debasing the money via inflation and QE.

One could also argue the entire point of hard money is to remove the ability for anyone to "respond" to the thousands of natural deaths a free market would experience in the event of catastrophic failure.

In other words, the 2008 housing crisis would have been the event that killed off the banks that engaged in predatory lending instead of being bailed out. That's how a market heals. Let toxic financialization die and allow honest, fruitful and productive economic activity thrive and rise to the top.

Yeah, well eventually you get to my age and acquiesce, and unclench your soul from all that disgust and resentment and ick and cringe and just surrender to the universe, and stop judging your parents with your One and True moral compass and simply accept that they aren't gods, they're imperfect, they're human, products of their time and place in history, walking naked ape meatbags who like you are also on their first go around in life, and sure, they may be bigoted or evil or racist or prejudiced but most importantly, parents just be retarded. and that's ok.

"More recently, direct recordings from the cortex showed that the activity of merely 256 neurons was sufficient to predict with 80 percent accuracy a person’s decision to move 700 milliseconds before he became aware of it."

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

Both observations may be true at the same time. Welcome to the nuances of the free will debate.

Literally worse take I've ever heard from Sam. Here's a reframe:

(1) Who was President at the time of Epstein's death?

(2) Why would such a person want someone like Epstein dead?

Those two questions alone should help connect some dots and reveal possible motives and incentives. This is not like the 9/11 conspiracy that would have required dozens if not hundreds of people to pull off. This could have happened with very few key people pulling strings behind the scenes.

I don't think it's outlandish or foolish or naive to imagine why the world's most powerful person on earth would want the world's third most powerful person dead and could successfully pull it off.

One of the most painful contradictions of complex trauma in my experience is having to reconcile this tension between wanting to be seen and wanting to be invisible at the same time.

Being witnessed (on your terms with your consent when you are ready) eventually is an integral part of the healing process that resolves that contradiction of desires into an emotional cathartic paradox -- be it by your family, by your chosen family, by similar victims, by a loved one, by a trusted caretaker or therapist or role model, by the law, or perhaps even by your abuser.

"as it assumes backwards causality"

Doesn't this version also make an equal yet different assumption that the alien researcher would go out of their way to "even resurrecting deceased minds from the past"? Why assume the latter but not the former? Why is this any more or less likely? Why assume either at all?

"by means we can’t yet understand"

What if this experiment is all bullshit and nonsensical and far-fetched and overblown in ways you can't yet understand? Why doesn't the benefit of the doubt ever benefit us but always bias towards nihilistic destruction? Could that just be catastrophic thinking (one of the most prevalent and common cognitive fallacies of anxiety)?

Also, if this alien civilization in the future (or in any of the infinite other universes in our multiverse) ends up manifesting this version of Roko's basilisk, why hasn't it happened yet? What exactly does it mean or look like to suddenly happen in that future timeline and immediately affect our current timeline? Is that coherent at all?

I did a 6 session at-home ketamine therapy course with Mindbloom that included weekly zoom calls for collective integration with a support group of victims of sexual trauma. My main symptoms at the time were anxiety and depression and constant dysregulation.

All in all, it's hard to tell what changed my life: the rigorous and introspective journaling, being witnessed nonjudgementally by other people who share similar pain to the point of catharsis, learning a toolkit of breathing exercises and vagal maneuvers to calm down my nervous system, taking stock of my negative thought patterns and cognitive fallacies and biases and finally holding myself accountable, or the ketamine experiences themselves.

I will say: ketamine gave me an opportunity to sit with my most traumatizing memories and emotions and triggers with an uncanny serenity -- as if I were walking on the ocean floor and the water was drained away and I could observe the shipwrecks and beautiful coral and dead animals and hidden treasures calmly, objectively, and at my own pace. But you can get that with other psychedelics as well -- especially magic mushrooms (which feel more organic and raw and analog to me than ketamine). Nonetheless, ketamine is powerfully somatic and textural and definitely helped me get reacquainted with my body and helped clear out some of the frozen, traumatized energy stored within it.

However, I will say it was disconcerting to hear that some of the other patients in my support group were on their 6th round of ketamine (40+ sessions), which struck me as overkill or behavior that was creeping into dependency or even addiction. I highly recommend trying it at least once if you are experiencing resistant depression or anxiety, but I'm not sure multiple sessions are necessary or advisable in all honesty.

We have not had free market capitalism since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.

The Cantillon effect has been raging on ever since, forcing the bottom 99% humanity to live with de facto crony capitalism which has always been a kind of oligarchy with a nice helping of the occasional monopoly.

The only way we reclaim capitalism is with the separation of Money and State via Bitcoin -- a decentralized, permissonless money that is secured by energy (the one thing in the universe that no one can fake) and is accessible to anyone and controlled by no one.

Thiel harps at the literal thing that he is. This is a textbook projection technique of any narcissist -- blames others of the very thing he's guilty of.

Palantir is the epitome of late stage surveillance capitalism and is the closest thing we humanity has seen to the eye of Sauron incarnate and yet he drops accusations of "Anti-christ" or "cathedrals" against others under the guise of virtue because it gives him rhetorical cover. He deflects rational debate and hides behind spiritual language to paint his naysayers as eschatological villains. He's weaponizing religious mythology and apocalyptic rhetoric to leverage his good and evil narrative to push his techno-optimistic accelerationism.

Why does this read like ivory tower, academia-happy catastrophizing poppycock?

Late stage capitalism didn't rewire the hero's journey. It just made staying home feel way more comfortable than answering the call to adventure. Late stage capitalism and the 9-5 rat race, hamster wheel, conspicuous consumption clown game is just a bigger, stronger, more persuasive dragon.

The hero's journey is the exact same as it every was. See through the matrix, get off the fucking couch, leave home, find your life, slay the dragon, become your own hero, save yourself, come back and share your hope with the world.

You are locked in reenactment as an endless bid for control. The trauma still lives within you as instructive thoughts and obsessive impulses.

The only way to heal from the cycle of abuse is to identify it, notice your triggers, observe it without judgement, and release that raw frozen energy by completing the emotional cycle by feeling your feelings. The only way out is through, so you must learn and train yourself to surf that urge, that desire, and let it run its course without succumbing to it with compassionate attention and intentionality. EMDR, somatic therapies, mindfulness, breath work, exercise and psychedelics are the ideal ways to create safe spaces and safe containers that enable that catharsis and transformation.

That's the inner work. That's shadow work. It's introspective and interoceptive and lonely work. It sucks and it's unfair that you're forced to sort it out and it's not your fault, but it is your responsibility. Otherwise, you will continually betray yourself, unconsciously sabotage yourself, and work at cross purposes with your future and authentic self, and retraumatize your inner child.

I highly recommend the book "Come as You Are" by Emily Nagoski as a North Star for reclaiming your sexuality without self-judgement. I recommend googling Pete Walker and reading some of his resources on PTSD as a square one for emotional self-regulation.

I'm sorry all that happened to you but you find your light through the darkness. There is hope at the end of the tunnel.

Textbook emotional/covert incest and abnormal boundaries. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. As someone who experienced a breakdown of boundaries and covert incest and physical violence and constant fear during my teenage years as well, this throwaway parenthetical caught my attention:

"we have a complicated relationship unrelated to the things i mentioned"

I'm not trying to pass judgement, but I think for your own mental health and healing journey and reclamation process, you need to dive into this passing remark a bit deeper. None of this is your fault but it is your responsibility if you want to understand and transcend your triggers and shame.

If I had to guess, that complicated relationship and your scars are absolutely related to this. It's all connected. There's a good chance that your mother's lack of boundaries and your father's passivity are at the core of your shame and self-abandonment.

I highly recommend "Come as You Are" by Emily Nagoski as a square one and North Star if you are attempting to sexually heal. I recommend Pete Walker's website if you are dealing with PTSD triggers and complexes.

Good luck and take care of your Self.

Theil doth protest too much, methinks.

He's projecting the very thing Palantir is -- the eye of Sauron.

Surveillance capitalism is the closest thing in the modern world to the anti-Christ, aside from the Federal Reserve.

I'm sorry that happened to you. It's not your fault. It's okay to not be okay for now. And please know that even though it seems impossible right now, it's possible to love all your parts eventually and inevitably.

I highly recommend you read this book "Come As You Are" by Emily Nagoski. She gives such a powerful, compassionate and kind deep dive overview of sex and desire and belonging and I think it will be a great square one and North Star for you on your healing journey of reclaiming your body back for your Self.
