Oh and also, My landlady stopped paying her rent and defaulted so the apartment went back to the bank. so technically, not only am I broke, I’m also in a squatting living situation. Oh and I’m on several bad credit lists and will stay there because I refuse to pay a bank who charged me for existing and an ISP who didn’t let me stop their services and will NEVER EVER PAY THEM no matter how many lists they put me in or how much money i have because FUCK EM.

Yes, I am a financial consultant. I do sporadic company valuations for mid sized companies when i like the clients. Sometimes i do financial report automation… I like understanding how money works but have no interest in accumulating the poison myself whatsoever. While i do put efforts into making money, those efforta disappear when i have enough… until i don’t and then the whole cycle repeats.

As long as you don’t sell, you’re not losing anything except perhaps your peace of mind, but that’s up to you.
- Comment on I lost 6 to 10 years of my retirement last week! 1 day ago:
I’m gonna be losing nothing because I own nothing.
Don’t stress too much. If you care about the money you “lost”, this will likely lead to a stronger portfolio on the long run. While it’s a very bad moment to sell, it is a golden moment to switch, depending on what you’d like to bet on. Even if you don’t change and this gets worse, a trade war crash should pay for itself economy-wise within 10 years.
Would you rather have bad crashes for a few years and then a slow economic recovery or a safe and steady pace to the abyss of “oops now we’re not the world’s reserve currency” anymore? Cause with the second one you not stop being able to tax the world with inflation and no one has ever had to deal with that in the US for about 100 years.
- Comment on What is anti-propaganda? 2 days ago:
Just a wild guess here but maybe she meant propaganda that mostly incites people to oppose tendencies or groups rather than to support their own?
Oh and facts can be propaganda too and often are… In a universe with infinite facts, the ones chosen to be presented vs the ones chosen not to, the way the fact is framed in discourse and what is being suggested by presenting it… That’s where propaganda lives.
It’s more comfortable to think propaganda is about lies. There are a lot of lies of course, but most important is what is assumed to be understood as common truth when sharing a message. Subtext is everything.

- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 6 days ago:
better in what regard? Cause what’s improvement? Cause what’s a ‘good’ desire? You see where this is going, I’m sure.

I’m not sure if this is what you’re asking but I met a Chinese tourist about 20 years ago. He was also traveling on his own. He seemed like a relatively nice guy, even when drunk. Not like “wow this guy is such a nice person” bu you know. Someone you could grab a beer with. His table manners were umm… different, but I attribute that to cultural differences. Oh and he liked smashing his fist on the table for emphasis and dramatic effect when talking about something that was important to him. He was obsessed with respect. Who respected him, who didn’t respect him, etc. He also had a deep and great love for his country, something he seemed to derive meaning and sense of purpose from.

It is the norm for companies in most if not all major stock exchanges. They have to report activities and earnings to stockholders.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 6 days ago:
I like your take and couldn’t agree more.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 6 days ago:
It would definitely be meaningful to me, at least for a while, but only because I care about myself.
And maybe I am. That’s actually very likely. My understanding is that meaning is what something refers to or in this context, what value, objective or desire something refers to.
This is why I was asking basically, “sure but what are those purposes for?” or “who cares that it has purpose?”.
Cause a better quality of life would be great for me, but why do I matter to begin with? Who cares if my life is better? Even if everyone else in the world did care, (including yourself) why care about them? Why should people spend half a second thinking about my well being or that of anyone, really?
There is no scientific basis for caring being a good thing or desirable just like there is no scientific basis for any kind of judgement of value. I’m just another equally irrelevant manifestation of the interaction between several forces with smaller things in a sea of infinite configurations of forces and small things just like everything and everyone else.
My entire point through this whole thread has been “you can’t science your way into what finally matters. you just know and no one can take that away from you”. (and if that thing you care about is science and nothing else, good for you and hold it dear, as you should)
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 6 days ago:
So if I’m understanding correctly, since we ourselves care about something, that is what provides it with meaning? Because meaning is entirely subjective? So the fact that we hold something very dear by definition makes it meaningful, regardless if anything or anyone tells us it’s meaningless? And that meaning is what keep ourselves and those who come going cause there’s no universal narrative?
idk it sounds to me that you’re suggesting that people could just find anything meaningful and it would be equally valid. Very unscientific if you ask me… :P
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 6 days ago:
That is exactly my point. Thanks.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 6 days ago:
why are those purposes meaningful?
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 6 days ago:
DPR knows what’s up.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 6 days ago:
I’m just glad we can both agree science has no meaning. thanks.
