Imagine being a carnivore in the most food-woke country in the world. That’s me 😂 It sure feels like I’m going against the stream!

Dave, the information you provide isn't even tradable! You've been talking for years about Bond rally, independent mortgage brokers going to the moon, BTC losing a decimal, SPY visiting 2022 lows. Before you blame "policy interference", there has always been policy interference, always will be. Any good quant system will include all catalyst because the institutions that cause them also move markets. That is quantifiable data if you know how capture it. I recommend @daggercapital

The incredible lack of context makes anyone who listens to you all the more vulnerable to bad quality information Discuss the market in terms of its share of US GDP In the highlight that you don’t have to talk about 1995 to 2000 that’s a pathetic misleading of someone who’s gotten an agenda. Why don’t you talk about the October 8, 1998 low which then Rose 4 1/2 times in the NASDAQ while the Fed was still cutting in the wake of long-term Capital management you are so decontextualized it’s scary

During the dot com melt-up of 1995-2000, Nasdaq put up gains of 572%. To date, from the 10/13/22 bear market lows, Nasdaq is up just 147%. Listening to bears calling this a market top could cost you a lot of money.

@maximumpain333 12-step groups are filled with this kind.

The path forward is not to shrink, it is to find the environments and people who can actually hold you. Your tribe exists. And your authenticity is the only thing that will ever find them.

Carl Jung wrote: "The more intelligent and self-aware a person is, the more they suffer from the general unconsciousness of society." This is not a badge of honor. It is a recognition of the weight carried by those who cannot unsee what they have already seen. This is the psychology of the deep thinker and if you recognize yourself here, this one is for you: The architecture of alienation. It starts early. The child who asks why adults say one thing and do another. The one whose questions are always labeled as "overthinking." Nietzsche described these people as "free spirits" — essential for progress, but wandering in a wilderness everyone else refuses to enter. Research by Dr. Elaine Aron suggests approximately 20% of the population processes information more deeply and notices subtleties others completely miss. In a world that rewards speed, this depth can feel like a disability. The frequency of truth. Deep thinkers operate on a different wavelength, the frequency of truth rather than the frequency of comfort. Most people live without ever questioning the fundamental assumptions of their own existence. But the deep thinker has glimpsed behind the veil. Like Plato's prisoner who escapes the cave and returns to share what he saw only to be rejected and called a troublemaker—the deep thinker carries the burden of the witness. They see the masks, the exploitation, and the pain that everyone else has agreed to ignore. The emotional sponge. Deep thinkers do not just observe emotions, they absorb them. They feel the anxiety of a stranger as if it were their own. They perform enormous amounts of invisible emotional labor — checking in on people, listening, supporting, acting as the unofficial therapist of every room they enter. And yet the relationship is almost always asymmetric. They give at a depth most people cannot match. They live with the quiet loneliness of being the strong one, the one everyone leans on, but no one thinks to ask: "Are you okay?" The mask of normalcy. To survive, many deep thinkers learn to wear a mask, laughing at jokes they do not find funny, feigning interest in conversations that feel hollow, modulating their intensity to avoid being too much. This is not deception. It is survival. But the cost is enormous. Maintaining the split between the complex private self and the simple public self is exhausting. And the mask, while protective, makes true connection nearly impossible. You cannot be fully known while hiding. The wounded healer. Jung wrote about this archetype; the person who transforms their own brokenness into a source of healing for others. The wounds of rejection and misunderstanding become sources of deep compassion. The person who has felt most unseen becomes the most gifted at seeing others. But the challenge is learning to give without emptying yourself completely, to love others without losing yourself in the process. The alchemy of solitude. For deep thinkers, there is a crucial distinction between loneliness and solitude. Loneliness is the pain of disconnection from others. Solitude is the joy of connection with yourself. In solitude, the deep thinker finally breathes. The noise of the world falls away. The internal landscape becomes clear. Isolation transforms into introspection and that is where the real work happens. The revolutionary act of authenticity. In a world that profits from insecurity, choosing to be genuinely yourself is a radical act. When a deep thinker chooses authenticity over performance, it creates space for others to do the same. It gives people permission to be real in a culture that rewards shallow. If you recognize yourself in any of this, stop apologizing for your depth. You are not broken. You are not too much. You are not too sensitive. You are awake in a world that prefers to stay asleep. Your sensitivity is a superpower. Your intensity is a strength. ✨🙌🏾💫

@jayroo69 She's out of breath from talking, TALKING! $hit so much, she grew asses on each leg!

Peep out Shinfat Shakur over here. BTW, you have to be tremendously unhealthy to be able to get the fat rolls on your shins. Insane.

Is this the guy from Coldplay? A brave new sound.

@benwehrman OMG stop!

This would not be possible on a 3,959-mile radius sphere.

@JoshuaArieh @WSOP Doyle Brunson said to play tight in the beginning and loosen up later. I found this works best with your larger events with long blind levels. I've also found that when I play tight in the early stages opponents have tendencies bluff off their stacks. Be patient.

Your friend is playing @WSOP for the first time. He asks you for your best tip to succeed. ONE TIP! What would you tell him? Keep the dumb jokes aside, I’m hoping to give him some good shit, I wanna see him do good.

@PolarityRadio Is anyone making any money other than Dave?

@PolarityRadio I guess wanting to give information away to help people help others cost how much a month?

Bitcoin Vega below its lowest monthly close ever. 4.05 to a historic low of only 1.64% expected daily move. It’s getting more and more boring now

Florida Man vs Haulover Inlet — zero brakes, brain cells at 5% ABV ⚓💀 Normal people see that boiling chaos and back the hell off. 🛑 Not this homegrown legend. Case of Landshark in the cooler, lime wedges on deck, $100k center console pointed straight into the meat grinder like it’s a weekend cruise. 🍺 One second he’s flying, next second the Atlantic is power-washing the whole crew while the boat tries to earn its submarine wings. Waves hammering the roof, dudes white-knuckling for dear life — turning a nice day into a floating car wash meets rollercoaster.🎢 Only in Florida do we treat Haulover like it needs humbling and charge it full throttle with beer on ice. Never change! 🐊🌊🍺

@AllenKessler @CaesarsPokerLV

I did it! After two second places this series @CaesarsPokerLV, I finally closed the deal and won one of my own trophies!

@norriegche07 Check your DMs dude. I sent you a message.
