I was red pill in 2008 timeframe. Took until about 2012 till I went purple. Too many friends are squarely in the red pill camp and I never see them exiting.

Well hello my fellow traveler. You know, the tough thing about life is that a mix of your consciousness and maturity probably find a nice balance not long before either your mental capacity starts to fade or you croak.

Enjoying your work, but please…I already have to deal with the dumbing-down of society everywhere else, I don’t want to have to deal with it here. I need this blog to be a respite from the idiocracy. If “boys and girls” spelled normally is too…mundane, just go with “ladies and gentlemen” and keep it simple. TIA.

I sometimes make my points with humor, or my version of humor. Or at least with oddities here and there. If I’d not taken silly liberties in writing every step of the way (aside from the premium service, which I keep mostly businesslike) I’d have quit blogging years ago.
I realize you are a subscriber and therefore, my customer Eric. I respect that. But I also respect myself and my mode of operation.
The above is not analysis. It’s an article about market psychology. It was fun to write, but it is not and was not meant to be a buttoned down analytical piece. So, forward I go, alienating some and pleasing others I guess.

Another thought that came to me. Maybe you are not aware of the market term known as ‘da boyz’. That is where ‘boyz and girlz’ came from. I added the female version and it is a ref. to financial market professionals and insiders in general.

And a certain percentage of them I collectively call BSDs. Some don’t know that acronym, but I’ll leave it to them to figure it out. It suits the Suits & Skirts who have ice in their veins and piles of munny in da Hamptons.

Do tell, Michael!

The older I get the more I find even if it all is some grand Rothschild conspiracy (gold, government, politics, new world order, etc), what the heck am I going to do about it? I might as well play the game with the least amount of risk and stress that I can.
Friends who let it eat at them and can’t move past things, I don’t know. Just not worth it.
Now Gary, all I’m looking for is a perfectly timed back up the truck signal from you. (Just kidding).
Gary September 16, 2022
Sure, no problem Mike! :-)

Hi Gary, no I wasn’t aware of that industry insider reference. But also, don’t think that I don’t know that I’m the guy yelling at the moon at this point. I know the Djinni isn’t going back into the bottle. I should prolly just get with the program before everyone thinks I’m just a looser.
Carry on fella, Eric

I am resigned about the Genie, aware how eff’d up everything is and don’t hold a positive view of the ability population at large to think at all critically or in depth. That’s part of why I say fuck it, and enjoy myself while trudging through this sometimes thankless work.

I don’t know, I think you might be making Clark, in satin ascot sipping his brandy, a tad uncomfortable with this post.. But truly, if you were Thing 1 (red pill) or Thing 2 (blue pill) I would have a big problem being here. Glad to have found balance in my own life and glad you found it in yours as well. Cheers old chap!

Clark’s ascot is made of satin?? Now that is distinguished!
