What keeps me going is feedback like this:

Do you think you would be better or worse off right now if Kamala Harris had won the election? This is not a loaded question; I'm genuinely interested in your answer and what the arguments are. I want to understand how people think about this.

Spend less time chasing what you want and more time enjoying what you have.

If the U.S. were to strike power plants in Iran, what do you think is more likely? a.) The population overthrows the government b.) The population rallies "behind the flag" and unites against those who took out the infrastructure It's probably smart to answer this beforehand.

We live in an era where posts which are just minutes old have already "aged badly".

@Osinttechnical Puh, Glück gehabt!

Bigger story here: implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran, with a range of ~4500 km (distance to Diego Garcia). Theoretically could also target sites into Central Europe.

Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean. One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.

Lowering the price of fuel by subsidizing it is the best example of "symbol politics" in recent memory.

It no longer feels like I am consuming content from people I know, and have chosen to follow on Twitter. This app now has the same feeling as the YouTube default algorithm or a generic fast food menu.

@C3_Nik Read the blog! He does fantastic research and offers great perspectives.

@mister_go_green Thanks, I appreciate the feedback

If you believed that they were about to de-escalate… well, maybe you should read my blog.

From: "It is very easy to reopen the Strait" and "We don't even need the Strait!" To: "OPEN THE STRAIT WITHIN 48 HOURS OR WE OBLITERATE YOUR POWER PLANTS" Remarkable, to say the least.

Some Poker wisdom: Strong means weak.

Iran does not need power to launch drones. Just FYI

It is exceptionally hard for people to cut through all the noise and the misinformation, which ALL sides spread. If you are an investor, it's your job to get closer to the truth; you can't just lean back and watch your favorite news channel and take things at face value.

I have updated my Important Market Update with comments on recent rumors about 'peace talks' while looking at some game theoretical considerations: patreon.com/posts/153348951

Not all crude oil is the same. Once you understand this, you are ahead of 90% of people on this platform.

@Dominos_UK PizzaHut?

starts with P and we all love it

Don’t listen to what they say. Look at what they do.

By lifting the sanctions on oil from Iran, we are effectively funding the enemy… same holds true for Russia. Remarkable.

@PoppyPancho Exactly. And now they can turn around and say: "Given the new asymmetric warfare, we need an ENORMOUS new effort to develop new technologies. We can solve this problem in many years and 100s of billions of dollars." They will turn it into a sales pitch.
