Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

We were in a 30+ day delinquent trend up since 2020 and 90+ day delinquent trend reversal, both being lead by VA. The dodgy cuts could well trigger a 2008 all over again.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Even something as basic as SENTIMENT is impacted by your priors, tribal affiliation, and flawed cognition.
You see what your brain wants/expects you to see, not what is actually there.

The zombie is the archetype of our age: the mindless consumer destroying brains out of a mindless hunger.

I find myself thinking a great deal about Back to the Future Part II lately. Growing up, Parts I and III were the fun ones, but now I think Part II might actually be studied for decades or centuries to come. There is more about the world of 2015 and beyond in its depiction of 1985 than I realized.

The #TikTokBan is a bigger issue than you think. @bsky.app and #RedNote may replace some of it, but something was building there that was unique. Keep your ears open.

We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin.
They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking.
It's game over or time for a reset.
