Have you read "The Storm Before The Calm" by George Friedman? He makes a lot of very similar predictions to you. Highly recommend reading this book. I generally agree with these predictions. My sense is that our society has SERIOU

Admittedly, I know very little about the economy, let alone the intricacies of the Chinese real estate market. But it seems that this whole situation is just a typical sky is falling media frenzy. I have seen so many stories over my life sa

- COVID will continue to be a thing. Some new variant will come along and force everyone to lock down again. - The fed will have no choice but to keep interest rates low. This means we will have another year of rapidly rising asset prices.

If you want a REAL look at how Tesla FSD operates, go on Youtube and look at some videos, or read consumer reports. Don't waste your time with this clickbaity, sensationalist nonsense. Rule of thumb: if the URL is CNN or FOX, then the

I personally am always skeptical whenever I see a "cancelled" program like this. It is a near certainty that some officially cancelled programs continued development in the classified world, such as the SR-72 or the UCAV. Admitted

The NRO is very spooky. Word on the street is that their tech is decades ahead of what is publicly available. I personally wonder what kind of crazy capabilities they have all the time. This is going to sound stupid, but I think the NRO may

Anyone who says something like "fuck the billionaires because they spend money on space instead of fixing our problems on earth" has instantly lost their respect in my eyes. It's an opinion that betrays laziness, jealousy, an

Yeah, I think this past decade people really conflated the deep learning breakthroughs with imminent actual AI. In reality what was invented here was advanced pattern recognition, not anything close to actual reasoning. I don't predict

How exactly does this work? I thought that the fed controlled interest rates. Under what circumstances could the interest rate rise independently of the fed?

People have been talking about this for years and it has always scared me away from crypto. Which is obviously something I regret now. The truth is that this person doesn't offer a shred of evidence as to why this crash will occur in 2

I wonder about this kind of thing. What is he trying to do here? Scare people? Get them excited about some new tech revolution? Blue Origin hasn't even launched people to the ISS. We can't even replicate an achievement from 1969 w

The Fed at this point controls the whole economy and they have two options: 1. Raise interest rates and stop printing. Crazy inflation stops, but asset prices crash and we enter a major recession or depression. The end result will likely be

Let's say you work for one of these companies - how do you tell whether you are one of the good ones or one of the "bland, boring, competent but mediocre" ones? And are there any companies out there right now that are still c

Honestly, nobody cares about the Facebook whistleblower. Nobody is talking about this except the media. It's just common knowledge at this point that facebook stirs up flame wars, and myself + most people I know just avoid it at this p

I don't often agree with articles from The Guardian, but this take is spot on, and it's rare that you see this opinion since 99% of news is literally owned by megacorps. Having these massive corporations control entire sectors of

Ding ding ding! This is right on the money. The next time that some admin hack comes out talking about "transitory inflation", there will be no high dislike count to undermine the message. It's all about keeping us unquestion

I agree that the youtube like/dislike ratio is obviously not the best metric to gauge sentiment towards the government. I think it's better to look at opinion polls, which DO back up my point - for instance see https://

I love these ideas and I agree with them for the most part. But I am pessimistic about US society's capacity to make such far reaching changes to a system that has largely stayed the same for almost 100 years. There are just too many f

I am not an anti vaxxer or anything, I am just stating what I have seen on youtube on these videos. For example this was after 10 sec of searching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0z3sLYvxX4 Thanks for the insult, though.

Yeah, this is pretty obvious. The government is getting very unpopular right now, just take a look at the like/dislike ratios for any vaccine related announcements or inflation related announcements. They are just gonna shut the whole

How on earth do we de-escalate from here? I feel that in the US it is impossible to summon the political willpower to make it HARDER to graduate HS or go to college, even if these things would make society better off. My personal opinion is

I'm talking specifically for my own experience, with people I know. If reading economic theory is really the thing that persuaded you to buy crypto, then all the power to you, I am just unaware of a single real-life example of anyone I

I hate Vox articles. These people spend the entire article railing against "meritocracy" because it leads to a hypercompetitive society which some people have trouble keeping up with. But as usual, it offers no solutions. Not the
