People that say ‘ope, sorry!’ when someone else bumps into you




In his student years, Göttingen was under the rule of Napoleon's brother, King Jerome, and there was much unrest among the students. Familiar with the use of firearms from early youth, Schopenhauer always kept his weapon close at night, a habit he would never give up.

It’s crazy how much the U.S. economy has been able to hold up even with all the self-imposed stupidity and external shocks - off the top of my head, covid, covidflation, tariffs, rate hikes, bank runs, doge, torching of fed R&D, torching of central bank Indy, and the Iran war







Wealth inequality in the US has never been wider: The real wealth of the top 0.001% of US households has grown +3,500% since 1976. At the same time, inflation-adjusted wealth of the top 0.01% and 0.1% has surged +2,200% and +1,200%, respectively. By comparison, the average household has seen just a +200% increase. As a result, there are now ~430,000 households worth $30 million or more, with ~74,000 worth over $100 million. Meanwhile, ~72% of wealth for the top 0.1% is concentrated in corporate equities, mutual funds, and private businesses. To put this into perspective, the bottom 50% of US households had more debt than assets for nearly 2 decades, with their average wealth turning positive after the 2020 pandemic, following stimulus checks and growing home values. Asset owners are the only winners.







No matter 130 IQ or 160 IQ: When people are triggered and emotional, the limbic system takes over and overrides logic. That's how you get scenes like Jordan Peterson crying for no reason. Elon faking his video game achievements live and getting caught. Yann LeCun announcing quitting Twitter and then coming back and replying to my ragebait Marc Andreessen crashing out on Twitter for three days straight.. All these people are actually very smart. They're just also insecure and very easy to be *jedi-mind-tricked* You just get under their skin, and they get nerfed to midwit levels of intelligence in a confrontation. That's how Destiny has won lots of debates btw- by being so annoying that it throws off his opponents and nerf their thinking ability.
