Once upon a time I trusted the "news", and to be fair, it seemed more balanced than it is now. Maybe that was just naivete. Today? Hard to find any "news" that isn't slanted. The weather perhaps? "News" ha

Another reason for a stock to rise these days is stock buybacks. Great work if you're in upper management and can compensate yourself via corporate buybacks using "free money".(with interest rates being near zero and artifici

An amazingly deep book. Which I've been rereading every since it came out. Much food for thought as Pirsig furiously "statically latches" his Metaphysics of Quality. Edit: and yes, can confirm world my view has changed signif

Jimmy has his priorities straight. A humble man who tells the truth. And knows what is most important in this life. Hint: it's neither wealth nor power.

Agree pretty much apart from the bitcoin failure part. In nine years, bitcoin keeps on ticking and evolving. Segwit was/is a big deal, as lack of segwit held up further development. Lightning, x-chain atomic swaps, Schnorr signatures,

Yes. Couldn't agree more. Politics in so called democracies is nothing more than legal organized crime syndication. In other words, politicians run legal protection rackets. Mafias.

Amazing talent. Unfortunate that many only know of the Zen book. His second book, Lila, which expands on the "Metaphysics of Quality" has much to offer.

I would not romanticize your friend's pain and suffering. My take on the article is that hearing voices does not equate to suffering in all cases. There may be cultural or other influences involved.

This. A result of the proverbial revolving door between regulators and the banks. You can have regulations up the wazoo and it won't make a spec of difference if they are not properly enforced. Even with the odd criminal conviction ban
