Some of the best ideas are old ones reimagined for today and tomorrow.

What would it take for this annotation to be reversed?

Not much.

1. Michael Lewis’s The Real Price of everything. (Rediscovering the six classics of economics)

2. The Ascent of Money by Niall Fergusen

3. Quinn and Turner’s Boom and Bust a Global History of Financial Bubbles.

4. Michael Lewis’s the Big Short. Entertaining sure, but a key element here is understanding synthetics. Think about classical supply and demand in an era of “synthetics” and failures of modern markets leading to the 2008 great financial crisis. Bond raters, lol.

Then wikipedia the greater fool theory, regulatory capture.

5. Stockholm Resilience Centre Planetary Boundaries to question the myths of perpetual growth.

6. David Foot - Boom, Bust and Echo to help with cohort analysis.

The most important thing is that when it comes to money and finance, most of the easily accessible material will tell you an idealized version of how things are supposed to work, not how they really work. See regulatory capture again.

Also, note that the people who are most knowledgable about the global financial system, banks and Investment Houses don’t make money on the “assets” they create. They make money selling it to rubes like you. That tells you what you need to know.

Lol!

Bath salts in the coffee cup?

As I sit on the toilet as I write this, I feel personally called out.

Depends on the conversation. If I find I’m speaking with a disingenuous bigot who is speaking in bad faith or being hipocritical, then 0. If it’s an honest disagreement with well reasoned arguments made in good faith, then a 8ish plus or minus how polite they are.

There is a name I have not heard in a long long time.

Look at hot peppers. Task failed successfully.

So does wikipedia, that doesn’t mean it not an increadibly valuable public resource.

How can you tell?

The guardian is a trust fund baby. The least billionaire of them.

I too love drugs.

I like drugs too. Good times man. Good times.

Cold Turkey. One day I just quit. It was hard for weeks, then every few weeks would get a little easier. A few relapses over the first 6 months and the key part here was to accept it and not give up. One smoke doesn’t mean failure. You get right back on. By 6 mos it was bearable and by 2 years it was like I never smoked. Quit 20 years ago.

Where is this “Black Market”? I tried to sell my dad, whole or in parts, on E-Bay a long time ago and my page got taken down before I got any offers.

Where’s the f-ing money?!?

Same with sext, poison it so it’s less valuable without a lot of extra sex work?

I don’t wish you this power, but I wish you peace, contentment and sufficiency with a modicum of joy. Best of luck to you.

[Chorus: Sia] Hey, I heard you were a wild one Ooh, ooh, ooh If I took you home, it’d be a home run Show me how you do I wanna shut down the club with you Hey, I heard you like the wild ones, wild ones, wild ones Ooh, ooh
