I touched on the excerpt below in my most recent podcast, as i have worked in both worlds. https://youtu.be/cr5oeA5W5rU?si=SxHBy1FQfDIm24Pd Arthur Hayes in his most recent piece "The Cure" "TradFi acolytes have no real skills. I know this to be true as I reflect upon what skills were required, TLDR, not many, to do my previous job at an investment bank. The reason why so many people want to work in TradFi is because you make a lot of money without having to know anything of substance. Give me any hungry young person with an okay grasp of high school algebra and a good work ethic, and I can train them to do any front office financial services job. That cannot be said about any of these professions, for example, doctors, lawyers, plumbers, electricians, mechanical engineers, etc. It takes time and skill to enter into any of these professions, but on average, they make less money than an associate investment banker, salesperson, or trader. The amount of intelligence wasted in financial services is depressing, but I and others are just humans responding to societal incentives." The societal incentives are a derivative of the engineered over financialization of the economy. This was set in place by the deregualtion of financial markets in the 1980s led by Alan Greenspan and Regan (his handlers) to help to pave the way for Derivative which were the main fuel needed for the everything bubble

What is Real? "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" -Socrates (probably) Over the years, one of the greatest ongoing challenges I face, is the need to continuously reevaluate and discard beliefs I once considered certain when confronted with new, resonant information. From birth we are conditioned to accept particular ideas and ways of thinking. This conditioning is passed down from our parents, who inherited it from their own predecessors. As we reach school age, this process continues, with education reinforcing “consensus” viewpoints. For some, higher education introduces even more layers of societal conditioning. Many individuals go through life repeating what they believe to be undeniable truths, often based simply on what they've heard over and over again throughout their lives. In recent years, particularly since 2020, it has become increasingly apparent to those who have critically assessed the state of the world that reality is not as it seems. The question we must ask ourselves is: where does this consensus thinking originate? A monumental figure in my awakening has been David Icke, whose work has significantly contributed to my understanding of the world. For over 30 years, Icke has been uncovering the truths behind a nefarious global network and how its systems operate. He has authored several extensively researched books that span hundreds and hundreds of pages, going into the true nature of reality, the origins and operations of this nefarious global network that shapes human perception which dictates the behavior that then creates the desired reality for them. he’s given presentations and spoken in front of thousands of people all around the world. and he’s currently banned from entering Australia and 26 countries in the EU (he must be saying something right). Ultimately, Icke explores what humanity can do to break free from this control and regain true divine sovereignty. In his book Perceptions of a Renegade Mind, David Icke discusses the existence of two distinct "worlds" operating within what appears to be a singular reality, with the primary difference being knowledge. The first world consists of the general population, kept in a state of ignorance through controlled information, education, media, science, finance and politics. This system creates a "perceptual delusion," where people's thoughts and beliefs are largely the product of indoctrination. in many cases wether knowingly or unknowingly, professionals like teachers, scientists, and politicians often remain trapped within this framework, their careers and incomes dependent on maintaining the status quo, thus perpetuating the limited knowledge of the "Postage Stamp Consensus." The other reality Icke describes is a network of secret societies and powerful elites who control the direction of society. These groups, operating in the shadows, work to suppress knowledge that would empower the population, especially regarding the nature of reality and life. They manipulate global events and policies through interconnected webs of governments, corporations, and secret organizations all aiming to centralize control. This clandestine network ensures that only a select few have access to the true knowledge, using tactics such as compartmentalization to maintain secrecy and power. I certainly started off in the first world described by Icke, shaped by the programming I received throughout my early life. However, a part of me always felt that something was off about how the world worked and i didn’t buy into much of mainstream anything, hell i believed a secret cabal did actually control the world without ever really looking into it. My involvement in intense combat sports, such as collegiate wrestling and mixed martial arts, kept me preoccupied for many years. The 2020 plandemic was a pivotal waking moment for me and i have been down an incredible series of rabbit holes ever since. these have been completely life changing as i can never see the world or world events the same again. my goal is to inspire thoughtful exploration and broaden the perspectives of those who engage with it. I recognize that meaningful understanding cannot be imposed, it must resonate with those who are ready to receive it. This work is intended to find its way to those seeking deeper truths, naturally drawing in the curious and the open-minded. In the articles to come, I will delve into a diverse range of interconnected topics that I have encountered over the years. From examining the true nature of reality to unraveling the layers of forces shaping our world and their overarching intentions for the human race. The direction we take is up to us, i can only show you the door.

Many financial advisors, fund managers, etc. dont backtest their models far enough. Historically (100 years) stonks & bonds are more correlated than not…

America’s Govt. and institutions were hijacked long ago, but the part of populace that still values what the 4th really represents you are the last bastion. They try to control every aspect of our lives because they control the monetary system (natural energy system) opt out #bitcoin

“Our forefathers made one mistake. What they should have fought for was representation without taxation.” -- Fletcher Knebel

Any new credit created causes a devaluation of the existing currency, thus inflation takes away your current currency based wealth and your earning power as well as your power to pay interest on any existing debt and your power to buy future goods. why is this hard to understand?
