Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. hello
is everything working
yes it is this time
for now
for now
for now
for now
yeah good shit
yeah man
I mean the most relevant
I think the most relevant
thing that happened aside from
the Venezuela situation is what's
happening in Iran right now lots of
interesting stuff that's why I've added that
we can discuss this we can have a little talk about this
historical inaccuracies
you know misinterpretations because there's a lot of people
who don't
understand the nature of the regime and how it came to be, and what actually regime change
implies, and all these kinds of things. There's lots of misinformation out there, and much,
much ill sentiment from uninformed minds. It's quite funny. So yeah, maybe we'll have a bit of a discussion about that today. We'll see what happens.
It's kind of hot over here right now where I'm at because my air conditioning is like, it's malfunctioning. It's a piece of fucking shit.
I hate when technology doesn't do the thing that it's designed to do. And so I'm dealing with a little bit of that at the moment.
So it's like 30 degrees
Celsius inside my room and uh
yeah well we'll see we'll see how that impacts today's today's experience especially later on
when i'm going to do some gaming because there's a high chance of a power outage again and then
the streamless randomly cuts off so that's that's something yeah every time i'm like burdened by this
yeah so what do you make of this situation? What are we thinking?
What are we feeling?
I mean,
they just put out a report
that said a conservative estimate
of the number of people that
have been killed in the last 48 hours
is like 2,000 people.
So maybe we could start with that?
Yeah, let's start with that.
Let's start with that along with the deafening silence from all of these, quote, human rights groups.
You know, like, you'd think that they would talk about this, but really they don't.
And if they do break their silence, the silence has been oh so deafening and oh so persistent.
It is largely due to much public outrage and the ever so present risk of them not receiving any money for the useless activities.
So let's start with that.
Yeah, I think if you remember when this whole Hamas shit started, you saw a bunch of these
retorted people coming up to a bunch of people that didn't want to be involved in the politics.
people. They don't want to be involved
in the politics.
And they would talk endlessly
about
accounts and celebrities
that wouldn't enter into politics
because they were like, oh, your
silence is definite. How dare you
not talk about Palestine?
And now that this shit has happened
in Venezuela, they're coming out
in support of
fucking Maduro
and they're just out in support of fucking Maduro,
and they're just completely silent on Iran.
Quite the hypocrisy, isn't it?
It's like,
hey, all these people have been trying to overthrow this guy for quite some time,
couldn't do it, and then the US goes
and grabs him,
and then they sit down and say oh my god
the poor people I'm like yes the people
are in fact poor and it's due to the guy
that they just took out
it's like the ignorance
you know it's crazy
yeah
there's also all these fucking retorts
all of them live in the west
by the way for some reason right they live in
Australia or the UK or the US.
And then they go in and they're like, yeah, these countries, they formed this axis to get rid of the West and destroy the West.
And I'm like, bro, you live in fucking Germany.
What the fuck are you doing?
Get the fuck out of the West if you hate it so much.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You'll never see them move to any of the countries that they support.
It's like, hey, do you want to live under Maduro?
I mean, sure.
You didn't want to go there during that period of time because it was risky and because it
was a bad idea.
But now it's like, oh, we're going to have so much support.
It's the same thing for people who are like endlessly sh shill for like you know the the regime in Iran and then
they go there and they get maximally oppressed they go oh my god who could
see this coming I don't know like everyone's been warning you of this
thing and you didn't listen because they think you know better and you don't
it's like yeah it's like with the 2017 situation where this dude was like
saying hey man you know there's gonna be lots of terrorism that's going to come out of the West,
out of the UK, out of Germany, out of places like that.
It's ironic.
Yeah, the UAE just stopped its program.
So the UAE has a program where they pay for their citizens to go to other countries
and get education in foreign countries' universities
because they determined that the universities in the West are higher quality.
And they've just stopped that program for the UK because they think that if they go to the UK,
that their citizens are going to be radicalized by Islam.
That their citizens are going to be radicalized.
By Islam.
Islamists.
Islamists.
A Muslim country.
Is worried about its citizens.
Being radicalized by Islamism.
In the UK.
In the fucking UK yeah.
It's kind of funny.
Wow.
Meanwhile in Iran.
You're seeing their fucking burning mosques now
like oh wow are you finally aware that there's a thing called zoroastrians and shit huh
i feel like my people are finally becoming aware of like the the spectrum of people that exists in
iran and how we've like had a very twisted view of that country for many, many years. It's really funny to see the reactions to all this.
Yeah, a lot of people will look at the statistics and they'll be like, oh, Iran's like 99% Muslim.
I'm like, oh, I wonder why the statistics say that shit.
Because, you know, you're living in a country where if you're not Muslim, you get killed.
Yeah.
Yeah, so wink, wink muslim on paper is the same when somebody gets like 99 of a vote in an election you go hmm
yeah totally that happened you know you give a lot of you people give uh kim jong-un a lot of uh a lot
of lip for the fact that he has like 99 of all the votes right uh but then when they see it
elsewhere especially when it the agenda agrees with them they go oh no that's totally normal
yeah you'll hear it all the time from these retards that will claim that uh
mosfadah was a democratically elected prime minister of iran that was overthrown by cia coop
Elected Prime Minister of Iran
That was overthrown by CIA
Coop
It's kind of funny because like the
That was the second time around by the way
The first time around
How he actually came to power was via
Constitutional and parliamentary
Action
The first time around he wasn't even democratically
Elector
He was appointed by the Shah
Exactly he was appointed by the Shah through force by the way The Shah didn't even want to do around, he wasn't even democratically elected. He was appointed by the Shah.
Exactly. He was appointed by the Shah, through force, by the way.
The Shah didn't even want to do it. He did it so reluctantly.
And this was only possible because the UK and the Soviet Union invaded Iran at the time and ended effectively,
well, laid down the foundation for what would eventually become the end
of the 2,500-year-old monarchy that had been in charge of that country
prior to that time. So there's nothing natural, there's nothing democratic about any of this.
Yes. The thing with Westerners is they seem to forget that the entire foundation of their
existence is built upon empires, and they have this democracy-prioritizing brain rot,
where they believe that everything that has democracy attached to it is good even if it is fake and i'm like i don't think you understand how the world works and it doesn't
work that way all of the most successful countries in the world are not democracies by the way that
you believe a democracy to function but rather some twist on whatever an empire is or some sort of authoritarian status in a sense.
Like it's ridiculous to me that people don't understand that.
I was looking at it like I was looking at it before and I've mentioned this before,
but I read an article that was going over how there's not a single country in human
history that has become wealthy through democracy.
They always started off as something else, and then they transitioned into a democracy.
But they never got wealthy while they were a democracy.
Yeah, exactly.
Also, it's kind of funny.
Like, I had never truly cared as much about this specific type of history in the Middle East, because all I was doing is just following the money as to what was happening with Hamas, all this kind of shit, and why Iran was important for them, and how that was all laid out.
So I didn't really initially care, until I saw all of these dipshits, and I always knew that these people were dipshits, starting to shill for this obviously illegal regime.
And I'm like, huh, that's a little weird.
I guess we're going to start doing some research now.
And oh boy, this is really interesting.
Lots of fucking, lots of really messed up stuff.
Oh, and then they go like, hey, what about these,
what about these organizations for like women's empowerment
that supposedly are to help the Iranian people?
Yeah, no, that didn't do shit.
As a matter of fact, they did a study on this and actually figured out that these specific organizations
discouraged these protests as a matter of fact made them unpopular as a matter of fact right
they made them ridiculous this is a fewer people wanted to attend and partake in protests because
of these organizations that supposedly would fight
for the people in Iran. It's complete bullshit after all. And what do these people do exactly?
They go, like the stealthy freedom movement, whatever those nonsense is, they go on to BBC
TV and rant about some bullshit that nobody cares about. And then when this stuff breaks out,
you go look at the website, not a single mention of what's happening in Iran right now.
Not a single mention.
Nothing has been updated since 2025.
By the way, what the fuck is this?
If you look at it, the BBC was instrumental for installing Khomeini in Iran as well.
They tricked millions of Iranians into believing that this guy was really a Gandhi-like fucking figure, like Carter was pushing.
So it was Carter, it was the UK, ironic because the UK fucked up Iran in the first place as well, along with the Soviets.
And then, of course, France for facilitating and platforming this fucking guy.
Yeah, but my point is the BBC got Khomeini in power,
and now they're completely silent.
For all the talk about how brutal the Shah was,
and none of it right now.
I would say it's hilarious,
but honestly, it's just wildly disappointing and annoying.
Rather, I would say it's exceedingly annoying is what it is.
And the thing is, when I talk to people in real life, they have no idea this is going on.
Damn.
They're not on X.
They're not on social media.
They don't know anything is going on.
It's crazy man
good thing i have a news list although i kind of you know what's funny is uh because of the venezuela thing the uh iranians were able to kind of like find common ground with the venezuelans
and i do like this like integrated feature which auto-translates
all of the posts
with Grok where you just like look at a post
and you don't even notice it. It's really nice.
I've seen so
many bangers because of that.
Exactly. Because of that
feature.
The fucking like, the South
Americans are so funny.
Yeah.
That's not fucking good.
I saw a right-wing account be like, open the borders now.
Obviously, he's joking, but...
Yeah.
Like, yeah.
I did not think the South americans were like that you know
well i kind of knew i played with a lot of mexicans and things like that they're like
it's very similar to australians they have a different kind of humor but
they're funny nonetheless and spaniards all the same as well you know it depends on the region
depends on the region right that they have problems too. But yeah, they're largely very fun people.
I've had good relations with them, I must say.
So it didn't surprise me.
Not one bit.
Locally, we have a euphemism.
I don't know what the right word is, not a euphemism.
But when you make a joke that's like, I guess, deadpan.
When the joke is just so blatantly hidden,
they do this thing where they stick their tongue out and go, ah.
And I thought it was like a Mexican thing.
And I've done it in other Hispanic areas
And it turns out that it isn't
But uh
Yeah
It's a great culture
And Dan
Unfortunately we don't really understand what's going on
Like there's a big barrier
Like some of the memes sometimes don't make sense,
especially if the language is very distant.
Like with Spanish, it's much closer.
The cultures are very close.
Like Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries are right next to the U.S.
So they tend to have like somewhat similar cultures.
But if you're like this,
the translate feature doesn't seem to be as effective as getting you across they tend to have like somewhat similar cultures. But if you're like this,
the translate feature doesn't seem to be as effective as getting you across to like Japanese X, you know, because there's different jokes.
There's different things that don't really translate well.
So there's so many different dialects of Spanish throughout Latin America.
So like the border patrol.
I know the South Americans will kill you if you ever use Vosotros instead of like some other thing.
I forgot.
But like the CBP, like the Customs and Border Protection, when people get caught coming across illegally,
a lot of the times they'll try to say they're just from the other side so that they can get sent back just a few miles and make another attempt.
So the Border Patrol officers are trained to ask them specific questions in Spanish to see which words they use in response so that they know if the person actually is from the region
or if they're from a specific region so they actually know where to send them.
Like a big one is water.
There's a whole bunch of different words for water in Spanish and all throughout Mexico
or pants.
Some cultures don't use the word Pantalonians to describe genes
And some do
But it's such a
Diverse language that's so
Region locked that
So it's kind of like Arabic
Yeah you'll never be able to properly
Translate it until you
Develop an
Intermittent language
So you would need to translate into
Ones and zeros
And then translate out of that
To properly do that
And from my knowledge
No one's been able to successfully do that
Right
So it's kind of like Arabic where all of these
Different dialects are completely different
Yeah
And they don't
Some of them even don't understand each other
And then you go modern standard Arabic
It's not even like small differences
They're like very very different
But they can all understand each other no?
Basically like
You know
It's the equivalency of
Two people who speak different language Different to communicate in, like, English.
Like, if you have someone who barely speaks English trying to talk to you, they're not going to be able to communicate super well, but they'll be able to do basic communication.
Isn't there, like like I don't know
Spain Spanish that they can use or something
Yeah but
A lot of the people in Latin America
Are not educated that well
When you're speaking to
A wealthy person in Spanish they speak
Like uh
Their uh
Verbiage and it's much more
I don't know what the right word is, but it's much more
direct. They use very, very specific
words for things that you could use a
general word. They avoid very general terms. Instead of talking about
cold water, they'll use like a specific word for
it. I'm trying to think of an example. Nothing's coming to the top of my head. But like it's the
difference between like calling a shirt a shirt and calling a shirt a Henley. Most people in
America won't know what a Henley is unless like they have some you know stupid reason
to know but uh um once you get into the lower classes like a shirt is a shirt um yeah
you uh there's a very large wealthy population in in latin america and it's so so far away from
the lower class like there's basically no middle class in latin america there's a little but it's
it's very very small and uh so like that they almost have their own languages
right they almost have their own languages.
Right.
Oh yeah, by the way, last night in the Advance Members VC
there was a discussion about
how to
deal with the problem
of what is
the undressing of people
via Grok.
And there's a person there,
and it probably got through because of that.
I always said that they should limit
the people's ability to use Grok to verified in some ways.
And so now, at least,
you could go off of, like, one of the instances.
The unverified accounts can no longer use the image editing stuff,
which is really good, by the way,
because if you want to look at what causes the most amount of problems,
it is always the unverified throwaway accounts
that cause the majority of all the issues.
People may be, like, there may be exceptions within this rule,
but there are very, very few exceptions to this rule. there are very very few exceptions
to this rule and I mean
just look at it for yourself look at all of these posts
I'm pretty sure a few people have seen them every now and then
go there look at
who's replying look at who's doing all of this dumb shit
and you'll see it's always these unverified
throwaway accounts you know
it's crazy so
they're limiting the ability to do that now
which is great it It's honestly great.
No idea why they didn't do it earlier.
I mean, it was kind of obvious.
I mean, if you're going to spam with something,
you use a throwaway account, right?
And there are lots and lots of throwaway accounts.
It's crazy.
I have a couple throwaway accounts.
I have a couple throwaway accounts.
Hey, fuck you, okay?
Hey, fuck you, okay?
There are still a few things that you can't say without getting banned.
So you just say them and you don't get banned because nobody sees it?
Or the people who you want to see it, see it?
No, no.
Like, if you're arguing with someone and you want to say something a little bit off-cuff, you know?
You just switch accounts yeah fair enough or just tell them tell them that stuff with a voice call you know works
too there's also a funny thing uh there's also a funny thing that i've noticed with nikita
um there's this post that he made about how it's a bad idea to like you know post hundreds of uh There's also a funny thing that I've noticed with Nikita.
There was this post that he made about how it's a bad idea
to make hundreds of replies
a day.
Yeah, I've been saying that same shit for years.
The funny bit about this, however,
is that because it's in the context of
what is CT, Crypto Twitter,
he has decided to delete that
reply to that one account.
I don't know why he did that.
That's fucking funny.
So I don't know what's going on here, but
something's going on.
It's true, what he said is absolutely true.
But I think that in him saying what he said,
there comes an issue where you need to address the...
How do I explain this?
You need to address that certain things will be weighted higher than others,
others, and that perhaps at the moment this waiting isn't done properly.
and that perhaps at the moment this weighting isn't done properly.
What that I mean is you need to bring back the autism maximizing algorithm.
One of the things that I've seen is that a platform is worth its carriers, and so the
people who post things about tech and whatever and whatnot actually make a lot of sense when
they make their posts, not just necessarily slop.
This will give the platform great value because
otherwise there's no
market for contributors. There's only market
for consumers. And if you have only a few
slop accounts here and there that make
stuff for consumers, you will not have any true content
off the platform. And if
you do, try to add any type of content
to the platform. Because there's so much
overweighted slop,
what ends up happening is that that content never sees the light of day.
And at the moment, that's kind of how it is.
I mean, you must imagine that it's kind of weird
that a person like myself, who has almost 300,000 followers,
hardly gets impressions on his own posts.
And it wasn't always like this, by the way. It wasn't always like this, by the way.
It wasn't always like this, by the way.
I have changed very little about how I post.
I've changed very little about how I post.
And I remember that during the period of,
like you've seen,
where the algorithm was a little different,
you'd see the impressions on that make a lot of sense.
Though they are still quite small
in terms of what, you know,
by following you should have,
which I would say was also an issue in the algorithm.
It was still acceptable.
I think it was still in the realm of acceptability.
Today, it's far outside of that.
I mean, just go look at...
I mean, one of the things that I see as well
is sometimes I get people messaging me saying,
hey, where are your posts?
They don't even see the posts sometimes.
It's fucking crazy, right?
So if I get messaged
on, like,
where my
posts are at because they can't see
them because they're somehow buried beneath
all this mountain of garbage, then
clearly there's something wrong, right? There's
something wrong because you follow an account for
reason, not just to monitor it,
but because you want to see more of that account's content.
But at the moment, there seems to be some sort of misalignment.
And the misalignment is obvious in that if you say, for instance,
let's take two accounts, right?
Let's take one account that is verified
and one account that is unverified.
Both of those accounts follow approximately 20 people
and have 2,000 followers each, right? So 20 people following, you know, they have 2,000 followers each.
So 20 people following, they have 2,000 followers.
One is verified, one is unverified.
If I had to post some sort of out-of-pocket dumb shit on the unverified account,
I will get 8 million impressions and about 100,000, maybe half that in likes.
I post that exact same shit on the verified account,
even if I had the same followers, by the way.
What will happen is zero reach.
Why? I don't know. I can't tell you.
I don't know the answer to this.
But this is a common thing, and many people are seeing this,
and they're wondering, why is this post on my timeline?
You follow a very specific set of accounts
in order to get a special type of timeline for yourself.
And you look at it, and you look at this account, and you go,
why the fuck is this on my timeline? This is unexplainable.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
Well, the reason is, well, it's malfunctioning, and it's quite clear, because if you
have this realization, if you look at it
and you say, this is not right, then
yes, it's not working.
Clearly, it is not working.
I don't know.
I don't fucking know.
It's like, it's...
And also, it's getting worse, right?
This is why I usually do a lot of stuff on Discord
is because at this point it's like,
if there is so much chaos and misunderstanding
as to what the product that X is
is and how to sort for what is actually good content,
not NPC dumb slop that causes brain cancer, right?
Figuratively, of course.
Then why the fuck should I post it to the void is a really good question right because this is insane this is actually
insane like go look at my profile right now post from two hours ago has like 7k impressions on this
last year that would be 20 easy go down even further from that. David Bowie
passed away 10 years ago today, right?
Should be quite relevant. People are thinking about
this a little bit.
5k impressions.
Our creators post.
A lot of people are talking about our creators
by the way.
8k impressions after
almost 20 hours.
Right?
Space is link.
Posted, just as it is.
5k impressions.
Iran flag post, 99k.
That's wild.
One day ago, post about stupid chickens, 12k.
Post about the cosmic horizon, 7k. Saying that my mind is accelerated, 12k. Post about the cosmic horizon, 7k.
Saying that my mind is accelerated, 13k.
Post with a stream link in it, 5k!
By the way, look at what I've pinned up on the...
This is fucking bullshit.
Did you see what Elon said about the algorithm, though?
He said that they're going to make the new X algorithm open source in seven days, and this will be repeated every four
weeks with the new changes, developer notes, to understand what was changed.
So that's all.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm going to do something. I'm willing to bet that this is just going to be the tooling
and it's not going to be the weights, because to release the weights would be foolish.
I don't see a possibility in which we're going to see the weights.
If we do see the weights, that would be kind of baller,
but I think it'd be perhaps a little too ballsy.
But it's whatever.
Back to the topic at hand.
Look at what I've pinned up on the...
Look at what I've pinned up on there.
up there.
Omine's close associated with
Montezeri admitted that the Islamic
revolution succeeded
only because of US support under
Jimmy Carter. Damn, that's
crazy.
That's wicked shit.
Jimmy Carter was a shitty president.
Indeed he was. Indeed he was.
Indeed he was.
Hey, this shit should have a few more impressions, shouldn't it?
Look at that.
7.8k.
How many followers does this account have?
24k.
Doesn't exactly follow too many people either.
Only follows 387.
That's pretty good.
That's a good ratio.
That shit should receive 10k easy.
When was this posted?
Fucking eight hours
ago.
Guys, there's a huge incentive
to have boobs these days, because what you can
do is post a clothed picture of yourself,
put it out there, and then say
at Grok, please undress me.
And then thousands of retards and gooners and incels are
going to be under,
underneath that person's replies just to get a glimpse of some artificially
generated tits.
Incredible tech.
The wildest thing about that is,
is to me is that they're doing it in public when they could have just gone to
like the grok thing where you like put the questions in and done
it and not let the whole world know you're a pervert i mean a lot of those accounts are also
unverified and so what do you expect yeah but there's a lot of people who are doing it under
their real name too which is i mean a lot of these people are kind of retarded i mean you know this
meme where like the the boomer parent of like six children on
their family account goes and like comments under some thirst trap with all the family pictures and
shit on that account you know it's like what what else do you expect man like legitimately what else
do you expect one one of the ted cruz's interns um who was was managing his Twitter liked a porno back when you could still see what people liked.
It was so funny.
Everyone just like...
It was an incest one.
Doggone so hard.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
It was.
It was.
That's funny.
How is that even a preference?
How do you have a preference for pornography that's incest porn? It doesn't make any sense how do you have a fetish for that like
what's wrong with your brain bro it's crazy this is why i'm saying we need a little bit
more violence in like society because when you see some shit like that you just need to beat
the butt and beat the motherfucker up like seriously it's crazy that this kind of shit
is normalized like oh hey guys i have a sexual preference incest the fuck's wrong with you that's some that's some bullshit man
it's disgusting what is this
that's also funny yeah nice house just like put a put a funny thing underneath my uh
underneath my uh underneath the space here let me pin this up to the top as well yeah pv nikita making reply guy a thing back in 2022 zero to five exactly yeah the
fucking reply guy shit it was this was always and i've been telling everybody was complete
bullshit because you put yourself in like an artificial silo and you just completely destroy
your destroyer account and the reason why i know this is because i actually know
how these algorithms work i know how the sorting system functions i know when something is wrong
with it because of the way that something is illogically placed you know and the reply guy
stuff was always stupid i never did the reply guy stuff and i've grown so if look at the people who
have been shilling you the reply guy stuff there'd've grown so if look at the people who've been shilling you the reply guy stuff
There'd be people here that have been been on this platform since
2016 or some shit, you know, they sit there and they talk about how you can grow with the reply guy. They can't even crack past say
like
50,000 followers and
most of those are bots that they put on there themselves most of the time and half of them are
inactive crypto uh shillers that just post gm under every single fucking picture like as if it
was some sort of like encouraged disease which it is so it's like what is the point of that you know
i even tried to do the reply guy strap myself just to test it i knew it was garbage i knew it was
dumb i knew it was stupid i knew it wouldn't work but just just just to just to test it. I knew it was garbage. I knew it was dumb. I knew it was stupid. I knew it wouldn't work. But just to really, really be certain, what I did is I did this myself. And
guess what, guys? Just as I thought, my reach went to shit. Because the thing is, every single reply
is counted as a post. The way you can see this is by going to your profile or going to go to my profile right now. So you look at my
profile, you scroll down a little bit until, uh, until my, uh, my, uh, picture and name vanishes.
And then you see above it, Adrian Dittman, and then like 19.5 K posts. I haven't made 19.5 K posts,
but I have made a lot of replies. You know, I have made a lot of posts myself and I've like,
you know, more, there's like thousands and thousands of posts now these days, but, like, still,
not all of those are actual posts. Many of those are replies. You see? I can do the same with
everybody else's account. Let me go on, like, JP's account right now. I go over there, I scroll down,
he has 19.7. Uh, let me go check out his account. Let me go him.
I scroll down.
He has 1k posts.
Fucking inactive ass motherfucker.
Just kidding.
I go to Bly's.
Scroll down.
12.9.
I go to Alternates.
He's been around since, what, 2014?
Scroll down.
6.7k.
Damn, that's impressive.
That's fucking wild.
Why do you have so little replies?
What is wrong with you? Did you keep this thing in your back pocket or some shit?
What is going on here?
Let's look at Chad's account.
Let's look at Chad's account. Scroll down.
Scroll down. What is this?
This 8.2k.
8.2k. Damn, bro.
Damn, bro.
Maybe I am the degenerate after all.
Maybe I am the degenerate after all.
There's been a lot of time.
I mean, like I said, I spent a lot of time on this app.
My peak time was like 52 hours every single week.
Let's look at Alex Utopia.
29.8.
Oh, no.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
Oh, he's been here since 2008, so that makes sense.
Let's see who else I can pick here out of the crowd.
Let's look at Stacy's posts.
6.5 damn
Okay, okay, damn these are really interesting numbers. I hardly look at these this is this is fucking funny
Just look at that this is when
2020 is one year on you're older than me
Let's take a say crypto g let's take you and look at that 16.7
that makes sense uh who else do we take let's take amber here let's go up the fuck what the
fuck 153 000 jesus christ what the fuck? Hang on, when did you make your account?
January
2009. Okay, that makes sense.
But also not a little bit. I see some people here
2008 have less than this. Let's go check it
Cindy's shit. Let's have a look at this.
Go up 7.1k
Postmate. Let's have a look at
everybody else's.
Let's look at Natalia.
5.9k.
Interesting, interesting, interesting.
Alright, what about Tabitha?
Let's have a look at her.
61.2.
Created in 2023.
What the fuck?
How?
That's crazy.
What the fuck
what the hell is going on here man
let's look at the other Natalia
oh yo that's
crazy bro that's insane
that's actually insane that's a lot
that's a lot
let's look at Chris
17.6
2017 not bad not bad but yeah lots of these are comments not all of those are posts and by the way Let's look at Chris. 17.6. 2017. Not bad.
Not bad. But lots of these
are comments. Not all of those are posts. And by the way,
a funny thing.
Whatever you do, and I've said this
again, and I will say this again, and again,
and again, and again.
Don't do reposts. Only do quote
posts. Don't do reposts.
Don't do reposts. Only do quote posts. Quote posts.
Quote posts. Quote posts. That's it. Only do quote posts. Quote posts, quote posts, quote posts. That's it.
Only do quote posts.
Those are the best.
They are the absolute best of the best.
Tippy tippy top.
Best of the world.
Do quote posts.
Always.
Why?
I win, you win.
Because first of all, you don't destroy your reach.
Second of all, you actually have a post on your timeline that people could interact with,
which is good for you.
And then third of all, because you're getting more interactions on that singular post and
you have more signal, it benefits me because I get all the impressions as
well. So everybody wins. See? If you want amplification, you do a quote post. Quote
posts are the best in the world, man. Best fucking feature of all. Quote posts. Always quote posts.
Likes, bookmarks, quote posts. And comments. Best. Best. Top tier. Top tier is like a, is like,
top tier is like comment and quote post, like, and bookmark,
follow right after that. You can actually do both of those, by the way, because a lot, uh,
bookmarkers count as a silent like, as far as I, I can tell they both don't cancel each other out,
so you can actually do two things at the same time. Not that I'm saying that you should go
ahead and do that, I'm just saying that, you know, it's something I've done. Um,
wait, let's have a look here, what is this?
That's a fucking funny, that that's a that's a funny image
live shot of great uh greta's flotilla streaming towards iran to save it the to save the people
oh that's funny and there's nothing there because all they care about is like terrorists it's funny
shit amazing absolutely amazing but you know you kind kind of look at the frequency of posts that are made,
and you see what has the highest signal,
what has the lowest signal, right?
I broke my rib about two months ago,
and I've spent almost eight weeks in bed,
and I've been doing the reply guy thing
because I'm just so fucking bored.
And I've been getting a reply guy thing cause I'm just so fucking bored. And, uh,
like I,
I've been getting a lot,
a lot of engagement.
my last two week pay period for my ex was,
over two grand.
good shit.
How the fuck did you,
wait a minute.
How the fuck did you get two grand?
You didn't post much of anything.
Yeah.
Well,
I had,
I had one post do real well,
but that,
that was only about a
third of my engagement um it did a lot of it just came from the engagement from reply guys uh check
signal i sent you uh some screenshots and of course like i i'm really funny i guess and uh
it would make sense because some replies if they perform well they they rank you up higher
yeah and and so i i always like i don, like, the little smiley face or whatever.
I don't do an emoji.
I write, like, 30 to 80 words and send it.
Well, this isn't realistically reply going.
That's just actually replying.
That's a difference. That's a difference.
There's a difference.
These are organic replies.
They make sense.
They're not like automated dipshittery
that you're leaving for the sake of leaving a reply.
You're just actually giving fault to it.
So that's to make it make sense.
Because otherwise nobody would engage with it
and because nobody engages with it,
it'd go to shit.
But at the same time,
this also is not adding much of any reach to your to account itself so your content is performing like horribly but your replies are performing immensely yeah no i my uh
my content like my reach went to shit whenever they changed the algorithm last. I want to say two or three months ago.
I've had four things get above 20,000 impressions.
And all of them did really, really well.
But I'm having single comments get a million impressions.
It's working for me.
Yeah, yeah. In your case, it does work,
because you actually have replies that you can make that make a lot of sense.
See how that's going to perform for you over the next two-week pay period,
and see what happens.
Because I know that they're counted as posts,
and I wonder if that is counted as posts. I wonder
if that is counted as revenue as well if you are getting replies on your replies,
you know what I'm saying? Because I'm pretty sure you're getting a bunch of...
I may have a look at your screenshot again. Yeah, you know what? That actually makes a lot of sense.
So I can see here there's a whole bunch of comments. I wonder how many of those were
verified. 27, 17, 13, 28, 10.
They're all within the same...
Okay, so these are everyday bangers, which is pretty good.
Yeah, you're getting a decent amount off that.
Yeah.
If you calculate that, you're probably getting...
Let me see your replies.
Let me see your two...
Today is the pay period, right?
Right?
That's next week.
It's next week? Yeah. Okay.
Show me your
analytics for the last two
weeks prior to that. I want to see how many
replies you got.
One second. This is important because that's how many replies you got. One second.
This is important because that's how the money is defined. The money is a percentage
of the money that X makes
from a premium subscription. That's how it works.
So say if somebody who's premium plus, for instance, replies to your stuff, you actually get more money because
they are putting more money into the platform right because premium plus costs more
than just premium is you have to be paying premium users of course that's why it's called revenue
share not ad revenue shed used to be ad revenue shares not added it's not ad revenue share anymore
it is just normal like it's just replies man it's just reply uh yeah revenue sharing for your
replies and premium organic premiumss it counts organic only as
a reply to one post of yours
so if you say make five posts
and you reply to each one of those posts
this is still technically counted as organic
as far as I remember at least
and this is not some sort of
hidden information or some shit
this is well known
this is well-known stuff,
except that a lot of big accounts have forgotten us
because they listen to a bunch of nonsense.
They think it's still ad revenue or something to do with impressions.
A USB-52 is spotted in the skies of Iraq.
Ooh.
Interesting.
Yeah, the Night Stalkers were in...
They left the UK today.
I'll just say that.
Wouldn't it be interesting if we saw an operation
go down live today, huh?
I hope so.
Like, the fucking Winners' Wheel of Shit
went down right as we were covering it.
Trump has been briefed on new options for military strikes in Iran
and is seriously considering it in response to the regime's efforts
to suppress demonstrations, U.S. officials told the New York Times.
Without Iran's support,
the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan
would not have happened.
These are not my words.
They are the words of several high-level Iranian officials.
Interesting.
I'm glad for the Persian people.
I mean, we got to wait and see what happens. If this fails, then we can't really be glad.
But if it succeeds, we can be glad.
Not gonna lie.
If Trump drops the ball on this,
this will be very bad for America long-term.
Because everyone's watching, right?
Everyone who needs to watch is watching.
So you better not drop the ball on that.
Not gonna lie.
It's gonna be very bad for his reputation.
It's the
Night Stalkers, bro. The 160th.
They don't miss.
Oh, no, I'm not saying that they would miss.
But they still must follow orders.
That's true.
Not all orders are good, you know.
Last time they could have helped,
they didn't.
we shall see what happens next. Hmm, interesting.
Looking at a bunch of shit here Hey, Ada, are you seeing any sitrep on drone activity?
Hmm? What?
Are you seeing any sitrep on drone activity?
What do you mean?
Situation report. Have you heard anything about drones over Iran?
I've heard of the Iranian government using drones on its people, but I haven't heard anything of the U.S. doing anything with drones.
Wicked stuff, eh?
By the way, JP, Jody sent me an image of your replies.
There's also an internet blackout
in the country.
I'm telling thousands of people there
right now.
And the only way they can
communicate with the rest of the world is just with Starlink.
And even then, they're jamming it,
probably using technology from either China
or Russia, or maybe both.
It's not that difficult to jam it, as a matter of fact.
Did you see that one description of what it was like
when Venezuela was being invaded
by the US and how the
forces reacted to it?
It's like, we were just there.
All of a sudden, all of our radar shit just died.
Then they came down.
They took everybody out.
Then they released some sort of shockwave
fucking thing. Everybody started vomiting
blood. I'm just sitting here going like,
what the fuck is going on?
That's crazy.
This is like,
it's just going worse and worse and worse.
I was like, yo, this is crazy.
I'm telling you, man,
this is why I don't complain about the defense budget stuff.
I actually think it's pretty damn useful.
Now you see exactly why.
Because if all else fails, you still got guns.
I heard a guy say today that
just watching a tank hit a target from over a mile away and blow it up,
that's worth paying a little more in taxes.
I'm like, I get your perspective.
Fuck taxes, though.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I'd be more
okay on that shit than any of the
other stuff that they're spending it on at the moment.
It's like...
Yeah.
What, we don't want any leering centers?
Everybody needs to have a
leering center. Yeah, to have a leering center.
Yeah, the leering center, guys.
I'd rather have my, like, money, my tax money go to fucking rockets and things like that.
The leering centers, to be real with you, bro.
You know, that may not be American.
I do still pay taxes to the American government.
So, yes, those are technically my taxes.
I get to say that.
I shouldn't be admitting this, but someone had to explain to me what was going on there.
I couldn't even see that learning was spelled wrong.
Dude, me neither.
I just kind of glossed over it until somebody pointed it out and I was like, oh, wow, okay.
Because it was just like, I usually just gloss over most of anything that's like political or politics adjacent because it's just fucking useless to me.
And then I just looked at that and I was like,
oh, that's actually kind of funny.
It's actually kind of funny.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Yeah, yeah.
It was just kind of irrelevant.
It was just kind of irrelevant for me.
I didn't really care about it.
Amazing.
The prosecutor general on Khomeini's orders
has labeled all protesters as enemies of God
and instructed prosecutors' offices
to deal with each and every arrested protester without leniency or mercy.
For those who don't know, in the Islamic Republic,
those labeled Muharrab, enemies of God, have a punishment of execution.
Damn. We're monitoring the situation right now. I see a funny post
I see a funny post
out of check based
here's meme Funny post. Out of check-based. She was meme.
Yeah, I saw that.
Only woman from the Middle East can fix Poland's demographic.
That's awesome, man.
That's fucking hilarious. Fucking amazing, man.
Absolutely amazing.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
Is my voice cancelling on?
Yes, it is.
Fuck yeah.
Because otherwise you're going to hear a turbine in the background oh wow yeah here listen did you see the dorito thing i i don't really know exactly
what happened um i i think they partnered with either Discord or some
like one of the big mic set
like the big mic companies to make a noise
canceling four Dorito crunches
What?
Yeah
But to take them out or to leave them in?
To take them out.
So you can eat Doritos with your mic open
and not be
crunching in everyone's ear.
I'm an artist.
I'm an artist.
I need people
to hear the crunch.
This is important.
People want to hear me crunch things.
I don't know why this is,
but they just like when I eat things.
It's a thing now, okay?
So I don't think I'm going to be a consumer of that.
I'm going to be real with you.
I would actually like to keep those noises in.
Can I have a Dorito crunch inclusive software?
Is that a thing?
This is the
inclusivity I want, is crunch
inclusive software, bro.
If you cannot make
crunch inclusive software,
what the fuck are you doing for
inclusivity? Like, bro,
there's a battle here, okay?
I can't say this shit with a straight face.
Although I just did, so there's
that, I guess, you know.
Excellent stuff.
I told you a long time ago, food content will work for you,
like cooking them steaks and all of that.
Yeah, yeah, it's true, it's true.
I mean, I do cook the steaks a whole bunch. I just don't live
stream it as much anymore, because generally when
I'm doing it, it's like a...
I do do it in the
Discord server occasionally,
but the problem is if you get a certain volume
of people connected to the channel,
what ends up happening is that you cannot
do video anymore,
so then you have to do stream, like, you know, the stream bit,
which works as well.
I do that as well.
Sometimes I sit down in the Discord server,
and I just go there, and I'm on cam and everything,
and people can see what's going on.
It's pretty fun.
People seem to like that, so yeah.
It's more of, like, an exclusive perk
to, like, being part of the advanced members bit,
so yeah, I'm doing that.
Eventually we're going to be more open cam,
but, like, for now that's just going to be exclusively for the advanced members and people so yeah, I'm doing that. Eventually we're going to be more open cam, but for now that's just going to be
exclusively for the advanced members
and people who do knights, so
that's pretty cool. Plus I sometimes drop
a little exclusive content for the knights
of the order guys.
By the way, have a look at
what I just told you. Oh yeah, the Zoroastrians!
Yeah, I know this fire thing. It's pretty
cool. The fire
in this temple has been burning for over 1,500 years.
Hmm.
You think they never cheated, like did go out in the middle of the night, just light it up again?
No, it's been going on continuously for the entire duration.
They've been keeping it alive.
It's pretty cool there.
I believe it.
I want to believe.
The fire
never stops burning.
Absolutely
incredible. It's an interesting kind of dedication to preserving something, especially such as that
over such a long period of time.
You know, it's fascinating.
It's truly fascinating to me
and it is actually quite beautiful
let me open something is it just me or have youtube links been broken, like, on here.
It depends. On the web, they kind of embed and open here,
but not well.
Not on the app, I think.
They used to.
I mean, they did for quite a while.
So let me search for a thing here.
Let me search.
Because I made a post.
Where is it?
There's a David Bowie bit.
I see below.
I see the video bit. I click it.
It instantly opens up a window. It didn't do that
before. It doesn't even embed. So now if I click on it,
it loads up and it says
video player
configuration error.
Watch on YouTube.
Hmm.
Weird.
It's been like that since yesterday.
I don't know why it is.
I don't know why it is that way.
This guy says if this Iran thing gets any more serious average Europeans and Americans
might even start hearing about it on the news.
Yeah. Europeans and Americans might even start hearing about it on the news. It's true.
By the way, Alex, not too different, but the hair needs to be blonde.
Alex, not too different, but the hair needs to be blonde.
This is like a wholesome Grok Imagine trend we try to keep going here.
Not bikinis, but monitoring the situation by countless people.
That's true.
What is this note?
They cancelled the scheduled televised address by the president.
And the attorney general of the Islamic Republic showed up and pronounced that arrested protesters will now be executed.
Fuck.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
I love how so many people are one-shot
by all of the
women out of Iran.
It's so fucking funny.
It's like, what Alexander the Great saw upon entering Persephone? it's true by the way
it's true by the way
Alexander de Great
wrote something about
nature of these women being very
pleasing on the eyes in an almost bothersome
way as he described it. It's very interesting
if I remember it correctly.
Oh yeah, your Wi-Fi has been
dropped. Welcome back, Chad.
Thank you, brother Chad Thank you brother, thank you I hate to say it in such a
Sarcastic manner, it's like
And it's a whole thing with me
It's like to say Chad
It's such a disrespectful way to say the name
I love it
It's like when somebody says man
With a little undertone
The E very high, man It's the way my ex-wife says it too It's like when somebody says man, with a little undertone, the E very high.
Man. That's the way my ex-wife says it too.
It's the same kind of smell.
Like that Chad.
It's what I like to call the descent.
Not the
descent, it's the disrespect tone
that comes at the, that's in the bottom
of your throat because you have the
disgust vector. And if you have the disgust vector.
And if you have the disgust vector,
then you get this kind of thing.
So you go like, Chad.
But my case actually sounds good.
It's like, I'm going to tell you how to do your taxes because I'm the master chief.
And fuck you.
And fuck the covenant.
Fuck the Covenant. I'm gonna go in there
Fuck the covenant.
I'm going to go in there
and I'm going to give them back their bomb.
their bomb.
I like to be a little...
I'm gonna give the Covenant back their bomb.
I like to be a little more
indirect with my disrespect.
Instead of saying someone's name in a weird tone,
I'll just say it wrong.
If their name's Ted, I'll call
them Tad.
Oh, yeah.
That pisses people off so much. I't even do that that's too much of
rage i like i like i'm a i'm a different kind of rage baiter i'm a different kind of rage baiter
i'll just use my infinite context window to make you look stupid i'll just be faster that that's
like my thing i'm just faster yeah i just adapt quickly to whatever bullshit there is i'll just
come up with a way to do a thing i'll just like pounce on jokes really quickly as well.
You know, and I kind of lean into bits.
Like this one time I had like a discussion with a whole bunch of people
and one dude in there was like, you know,
when you say the word retard
and fag, you don't make a good
case for yourself. It may come off
as insulting. And then I, without skipping
a beat, I immediately went retard, retard,
retard, fag, fag,
fag, faggot, retard, retard. Does that help? I was like, I immediately went, retard, retard, retard, fag, fag, fag, faggot, retard,
retard, does that help?
I was like, I just...
Like, immediately, immediately just, like, invalidated.
I just gotta give a shit.
Like, what are you gonna do?
Police my speech?
The fuck are you doing?
Like, it's a Discord call.
It's dipshit.
Like, it's not even, it's not even, like, it's not meant for you.
I'm not saying this because I'm trying to degrade you. I'm just saying it's, like, it's just a word, you's not meant for you. I'm not saying this because I'm trying to degrade you.
I'm just saying it's like, it's just a word, you know,
it's not meant to like cause harm.
But if you, if you, if you feel slighted by it,
that's just kind of a skill issue.
And that's, there's very little to do with me
and everything to do with the kind of like situation
you happen to find yourself
and then the things you see in the world
and you see the world as you are on the inside.
And if you see it as ugly, then well,
maybe you got to do so. You have a lot of inner work that you must do.
Hey, buddy.
Every commercial airliner
calls to pilot a retard three times before
it touches down.
Bruh.
Retard.
Retard. Retard.
Oh, man. Something like that. Yeah, sure. Retard. Retard.
Oh, man.
Something like that. Yeah, sure.
Oh, man.
I'm just laughing.
This is incredible.
This is absolutely incredible.
By the way, I'm going to pin up the Discord link up at the top,
because that's where we're going to be going in about an hour or so,
and we'll continue monitoring the situation there, because we're going to do a little bit more quantitative things at the same time.
We'll see if we'll stick around for a little longer than an hour.
Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't.
But I'm going to be in there because it's a special session.
Lots of people usually attend during what is effectively the weekend.
It's my Sunday, it is their Saturday.
So it's a great mishing of the day, so to speak. It's like a. So it's like, it's a great it's a great mishing of the
days, so to speak. It's like a lot of people go there
and it's lots of fun.
So, yeah. In both time
zones as works. In both time zones
people have free time. So it's pretty
nice. I like it. It's good.
Very good. Very good.
The Islamic Republic forces murdered
a five-year-old child while he was
being held in his mother's arms.
Screw those guys, man.
They're about to die.
What the fuck?
Wicked wall.
Let's hope so.
Yeah, it's coming now.
You watch.
Within an hour.
It should.
It should.
We're going to see, man.
This is relevant.
This is definitely relevant for Trump.
I think this is more so a midterm play than anything else.
But if it doesn't have any substance, it will work out very badly,
not only for him, but also for Republicans many, many years down the line.
If the ball is dropped on this here, it's going to be very bad.
It's going to be very bad for everybody, right?
It's going to be bad for Trump. It's going to be after the US.
It's going to be bad for everybody else in the world,
because there's no limit on the power of whatever china can do because they're
getting exceedingly zesty they're gonna likely impact taiwan all of these things right and we
don't want any of this none of us want any of these things this is a big international issue
so it's like that's why many of us here care we're all in very different countries all of us
we're very international here this is probably the most international space there is.
We got Americans on the stage.
We got Germans that live in the South Pacific.
That's me.
I'm just one.
We are Canadians.
We got, actually, no, Alex is also German.
He lives in actual Germany, you know.
But actually, we have more people from the United States here on the space than we do from other countries, right?
So it's pretty cool. We've got like
four people that are
from the US, so we've got three people
from other countries,
but that's only two different countries.
So, yeah.
I believe the
American part is very well covered here.
You know, I think we can all agree
that this is like a thing that is relevant
to each of our nations and regions, respectively.
No matter if we're Canadian, or if we're German, or if we live in the South Pacific, or if we live in God knows where else, this impacts us all.
So, yeah, let's hope they don't drop the ball on this, because it's going to be really bad if they do.
No more fancy computers if Taiwan goes to shit.
Yeah, that would really suck.
Yep.
I mean, all those nice...
You like your MacBooks, you like your iPhones,
you like all these things, you like your AMD chips
and your NVIDIA stuff, you like all that?
Yeah, man, that all comes from Taiwan, that all comes from TSMC.
If that all goes to shit, you are fucked.
By that extent, we are all fucked.
So, yeah, let's not go down that route.
We don't want to go down that route, personally.
I don't want to see it. I don't want to be there.
Like, I have my 5090, I have my RAM,
you know, I have all these things. I'm pretty secure myself,
I'm not going to lie to you, but, you know,
you've got to think of other people, too, you know?
They want their compute, too, and it's fucking expensive
as shit right now. So, that's another
aspect, and it's not going to get any better if there's
a war in fucking Taiwan, and the source for most of the chips that we use today is effectively destroyed
because China decided to invade it. Make no mistake, by the way, that if Taiwan ever gets
invaded, the first thing that will happen is that TSMC will set off an auto self-destruct
effectively. And that will make it so that basically labs are destroyed and whatnot. And
so the Chinese cannot get their hands on the technology. They have a self-destruct thing
for the factory specifically for this kind of scenario, because they always anticipate this
kind of scenario. So that is there. That is definitely there. And can you imagine how bad
that's going to be for all of us if the place that manufactures not only the world's most advanced
chip, but most of the chips anyways, that are used in a lot of our technologies that power the world
as we know it today, just fucking disappears overnight. I'm pretty sure
people can understand that that's a bad problem, right? I'm pretty sure that whatever it takes,
there needs to be some form of security on this, like some sort of guarantee that this is going to
not be a major issue. And the Venezuela stuff and the Iran stuff, all of that
is instrumental in this, more than
people understand. It's not about the oil
as to
it going to America.
It's about the oil as it goes to China.
It's about indirectly the oil
going to China.
It's not about the oil to the US, it's about the oil to China.
That's what it's all about. This is not about the US, it's about China.
China wants an
unsanctionable supply
of oil for itself in case it attacks
Taiwan.
Yeah.
So getting rid of Venezuela
and Iran is
very critical for that.
Yeah. So the thing is, like,
I don't have much
of any, like, pushbackback on china to be honest with you
and people know this you know i've been very favorable towards china and i do like a lot
of their technologies but the problem is they've grown a little too impatient and this
can cause lots of damages now they're not ready for this they should wait another five to ten
years five minimum ten you know like it's too early. To pressure
on Taiwan is too early. This is not the time.
They do not have the capability
to wage war the way that
they think they do. Case in point,
look at Venezuela. Those were Chinese
systems. They're fucking useless.
I'm going to be honest with you. They're fucking useless.
The defense industry is not the same as it is in the US.
It doesn't have the same history, it doesn't have the same technology
they can't do it
they can copy all the other western technologies
that are easy to copy because they're very badly guarded
let's be honest
same shit with what has happened
at SK Hynix and Micron, they get spied up all the time
you get spies on Samsung, all this kind of shit
but the defense industry
now that's something that is very difficult
to get a to get
a decent picture of in the united states and there's tons of money that's going into the
defense industry i would even argue a lot more than any other country on the planet so of course
their technology is going to be better and not only do they have experience in the war not only
does america have experience in war but it constantly trains and maintains the ability to go to war right
and it's like then people paint point to point to uh points of failure like like uh like vietnam
and it's like that had very little to do with the capabilities of the military and more so to do
with the method that was being used right they decided to just kill a whole bunch of people.
They weren't really focused on capturing land.
They were focused on just eradicating MFs.
And they did so quite well.
And the damages that they caused are still there to this day.
Things like Agent Orange, all of these things,
it's still there to this day.
The operation was conducted in a manner
that would never have allowed for true capture of
the country and of the soil because that was never their plan it was just to kill a whole bunch of
people it was badly managed in this in this regard but it's very little to do with the
ability of the military it's just that the military was misused in this sense right
i mean they've won a they've won a lot of wars dude they've won a lot of wars, dude. They've won a lot of wars.
Let's not discount that.
And whenever they go away, you can kind of see what's happening.
And just because, like, you know, even in the Middle East,
there were a few balls dropped,
it's just because of bad orders, man.
And even with all the equipment that was left behind there
that the Taliban is now fucking around with,
it's like, that is not there because the military is incompetent.
That is there because the president at the time,
Biden, was incompetent and decided,
hey guys, we're just going to leave all this shit behind.
It's not going to be a problem.
We're just going to leave billions of dollars of equipment behind and nothing's going to happen.
It's all disabled, supposedly.
And then they fly the fucking helicopter.
Okay, I'm sure that's very disabled, bro.
Yeah, but that was intentional.
They wanted to make a problem for them
to go back and deal with 20, 30 years.
Perhaps, perhaps.
But at the end of the day, like, that's just, this is not because the military is incompetent.
This is the point that I'm trying to make here.
It's like, it's not nothing to do with incompetence or the fact that they don't have the technology.
They have the competence and they have the technology, right?
And I've said this for many years.
And this is why I'm also not opposed to the defense industry either.
Because that's one of the main things that gives the United States its power
and its influence over the world in some ways.
And while many can agree that perhaps that influence is negative,
I can only say that that negative influence only comes in the form of foreign
interference via, say, things like injecting strange pseudo-political dipshit concepts into
countries that don't need it via, like, education stuff that nobody needs, you know, in schools and
things like that. That would be the only form that I can think of where it's negative. Outside of that,
it's actually quite solid influence, which is quite good. A lot of technology comes out of the United States. A lot of technology is enabled by what the United States
is and how it operates, right? Without it, a lot of the stuff that we have would not exist. The
very phone that I'm speaking on right now would not exist. You wouldn't have the rockets that we
have today. You wouldn't have the amount of satellites that we have in space. You wouldn't
have the space internet. You will not have space computers in the future. You will not have any of
these things, any of these really awesome, super cool things that we need for scaled operation of our civilization. You will not
have that without the United States. And so this is my reasoning for why I don't see why people
have such an issue with the defense industry. Sure, it absorbs a lot of money, but it's what
gives the country its force. You need a force. You need to be imperial in nature. Because otherwise you're going to end up like China
and your only method of warfare is asymmetric
in that you just control manufacturing.
Control manufacturing of various goods
and you can just make the most slop
and the greatest quality at the highest rates.
So it's like...
And even worse, you don't want to end up like Europe.
Oh god, yeah, no.
Absolutely fucking not.
They can't make anything.
They're completely fucking lost. There's still a lot of relevant machinery that comes out of Europe. Oh, God. Yeah, no. Absolutely fucking not. They can't make anything. They're completely fucking lost.
There's still a lot of relevant machinery that comes out of Europe.
They have a...
They're kind of like a monopoly on precision in many ways.
But it's exceedingly niche.
I meant just militarily.
Just militarily.
Oh, yeah.
Military is completely useless.
They have no...
They have no...
No energy security of their own.
Their military equipment is kind of shit.
I mean,
the French are the only,
only ones that actually have any good military equipment.
They're actually using nuclear power too,
which is kind of,
which is quite based on them.
But other than the French,
like the entire continent is just a massive shithole when it comes to
military.
Yes.
And it's really annoying.
It's really annoying, especially
as someone who is a European. I'm greatly disappointed
by this. It's like,
yeah.
And there's such massive
delusion, like, as if they're somehow capable.
It's like, Germany still
depends on, like,
Russian hydrocarbons, basically.
It's kind of funny.
It's like, hey, we're at war with these people.
No, you're actually not at war with the people.
Ukraine is at war, and you want to attach yourself to Ukraine,
but you still depend on Russian gas.
What the fuck?
Hang on a minute. Do you see that? And you're depend on Russian gas. What the fuck? Hang on a minute.
Do you see that? And you're descaling
nuclear power. You blew up the last
power plants not too long
ago. So, now what?
Wasn't there an agenda to get rid of
coal?
Using coal as a source of energy
by 2025? Yes, there was.
I read about this when I was a little-ass kid.
What happened to that?
It's 2026. We're using more coal than ever before. What up, bro? Oh, but we got fear like nuclear is dangerous because the radiation. I'm like, oh, really? So what do you think happens when coal
burns? It has a whole bunch of stuff that comes out of it. And you can't filter out all of it.
And some of the time they don't even give a shit.
So it just kind of goes in the atmosphere.
Do you know what?
One of the bits that go into the atmosphere is, um...
I don't know.
Radioactive material?
Like, a lot more radioactive material than could ever come out of a fucking nuclear power plant.
Because a power plant is designed not to output any nuclear material in, like, its cooling or any of the involved processes.
And yet the coal outputs more radioactive material than a nuclear power plant.
Even the older models ever could.
Hmm. Sounds kind of dumb, doesn't it?
Am I the only one who thinks that that's exceedingly stupid?
I hope not. I kind of feel like it a little bit sometimes,
because people don't tend to think about that.
But yeah, no, that's my problem with coal specifically.
I don't have a problem with hydrocarbons, by the way.
I'm probably one of the most pro-hydrocarbon people you'll meet.
I mean, I drive a gas car because I don't have a choice, pretty much.
And maintenance and whatnot, and use generators and use all these things.
I also use solar at the same time as well.
I'm a very mixed bag of tricks, I be honest with you um but hydrocarbon's not
bad like the i'd also didn't have a problem with carbon i mean we're made out of carbon why the
fuck would you have a problem with carbon your plants are made out of carbon your food's made
out of carbon it's like everything's made out of carbon why would you have a problem with that
it's kind of stupid isn't it i mean like you can listen to the hippies and all these like dipshits
like right the thunberg and all these other like idiots and you go like oh wow carbon is bad carbon
is not bad carbon is great you're made out of it. The only carbon that they're
trying to reduce is you. You, personally. You, as the individual, as the people. They've stated this
to be their exact objective. So why lean into it? It doesn't make any fucking sense. If you were to
look at it objectively, you should never be against this kind of stuff in the first place. I will say
that you need renewable energy because it makes a lot of sense. You know, eventually we may run out
of oil, but you're not going to run out of oil anytime soon.
And the only reason why you want
renewable energies is because those energies are better.
And the reason why I advocate for nuclear power
is because nuclear power is better.
It's objectively better.
And even solar,
which definitely still needs
increases in efficiency
for it to make sense.
But still, it's like, you know, I'm very pro-hydrocarbon.
But the reason why I'm against coal is specifically for power generation
is because it's fucking useless, right?
Like, the best use for coal that we have is steel manufacturing.
That's actually out of Australia.
A lot of coal comes out of Australia as well.
And it's used for steel manufacturing.
And where does the coal go?
China
that's where it goes because they make a lot of the steel
a lot of the rare earth
minerals and such that comes out of China
even refined stuff all comes out of China
a lot of stuff comes out of China actually
it's really fascinating stuff
but yeah now Europe has kind of fallen on this one
I'm not sure what's wrong with them, I'm not sure what exactly happened there
I haven't been there for many years. I haven't really lived there myself.
So I can't really tell you exactly
what had happened.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's bad. Don't get me started.
I don't even go outside anymore. I can't talk to these people.
It's impossible.
Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate. I can't do like NPC brain rot.
By the way, if you haven't already,
make sure to quote post the space with
join the conversation so that everybody can see
that we are live and then listen to the recording
after the space has concluded.
Is this documentation?
Hang on.
Oh, it's written upside down.
Okay.
Ooh.
Hang on. I'm just looking through some stuff.
I love that I can install an app on my phone that controls my fucking orb.
It's crazy.
I'm not going to do that, though.
I'm just going to use the fucking remote.
I think I need to control my orb with that.
As a matter of fact, I'm probably going to take that thing out of the receiver a bit.
Yeah.
Your orb?
Yeah, I have an orb.
Hmm? What is that? Your orb? Your, I have an orb. What's that? Your orb?
Uh, yeah, it's just normal. I have an orb now.
Well, it's not really an orb, necessarily. You can kind of think of it as an orb.
It's a... you know, it's a dodecahedron.
That's what it actually is.
It looks like an orb with a hole in my hand. I can hold it like an orb because it's cool.
You know how it is. Wow, this is wicked.
What is this?
Ted Cruz says,
if the Iranian people overthrow the Ayatollah,
America and the entire world will be much, much safer.
May the death to America crowd meet their 72 virgins tonight.
I know who wrote that.
That's just, it's so cringy to me for, like,
because I know he didn't write that himself
and he's got a person who does that for him.
Listen, there's,
they only got about an hour and 15
minutes before sunrise.
What's the time in Iran right now?
5.05 or 5.30.
Hmm.
No, it's 5.
It's 5.
They got like the weird 30-minute thing.
What?
Why do they have a weird 30-minute thing?
What's going on there?
Some countries have it.
I know India, I think, also has a weird 30 minute thing what's going on there some countries have it I know India I think also has a
30 minute thing I think Nepal has like a 15 minute thing or something
I don't know yes 506 yeah
it's always funny when Chad
speaks you can tell he knows a lot more than what he's saying
yeah You can tell he knows a lot more than what he's saying.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Let's see what happens.
I mean, I thought there was already a shortage of virgins during the 12-day war.
When in heaven.
Remember?
Yeah.
I actually posted about it too.
Oh no.
Yeah, I remember that.
Yeah.
Fucking.
It's crazy.
They get to heaven and it's all just incels.
Yeah.
It's all incels. Yeah. It's all
incels.
What do the
incels have? Incelligence.
Yeah, there you go.
They don't have intelligence, they have incelligence.
I said break.
They have idiotic memory of their
Pepe folder, and
they know alternative strategies to how
World War II could have been won by Germany.
That's intelligence, everybody.
They don't have intelligence, they have intelligence.
Anyways, how do you continue?
There's the one I said.
I'm like,
yeah, due to the Israeli
strikes on Iran, there is now a major
shortage of virgins in heaven.
Yeah.
Crazy how they've only got like 3.6k views.
Yeah.
So fucked, man.
I remember the reply I made.
Bro's like, this post is insane. What unhinged emefro
Could write that? And hit send
That was good
Fun times as always
Man, let's see
Horrifying reports from Iran
The bodies are being taken to
Kahri Zak forensic medicine from everywhere. The volume of bodies is so high that they've
lined them up in the courtyard. A very large number of refrigerated containers have been
brought in for the bodies. People come to identify them among the bodies. They place
the national ID card on the body, take a photo and assign a code.
There is no permission for burial either.
They themselves take them away in groups and bury them.
They said that until the situation is over, they have no right to a subsequent visit.
If families raise their voices, they won't tell them the visit time or the burial location code.
Wow.
Damn.
Now this is why.
I think the Romans were right about about that there's only really civilization
and the barbarians at our gates i think it's also important it's also important to realize
that this shit is only able to happen because they took away all the guns in iran and venezuela
they took the guns first and then now you gotta fight unarmed
so now
every time some German faggot
comes up to you and says why do you have
guns we don't do that in Germany
you can tell
them to fuck off
I've had like a huge argument
on gun control like not too long ago
it's like hey every aspect of our life is
supposedly better but all the other bits that are actually relevant
are totally shit it's like oh yeah we every aspect of our life is supposedly better, but all the other bits that are actually relevant are totally shit.
It's like,
oh yeah,
we have less crime,
but we also have less gun violence
because there's no guns.
It's like,
well,
you got every other form of violence.
You got a super,
super authoritarian government
that's doing a lot of really
pretty shit
to at higher rates
than anywhere else in the world.
You got knife stabbing.
You got knife stabbing
and you're supposed to print
and that shit's not happening.
Yeah.
It doesn't matter. They're going to use fucking knives if they don't have guns and they're going to print in that shit's not happening. Yeah. It doesn't matter.
They're going to use fucking knives if they don't have guns and they're going to get the
guns illegally.
Anyway, Australia had one of the strictest gun laws in the world and they still got some
fucking guy and his dad to shoot up.
I don't even remember.
What did they shoot up?
It was a Jewish parade.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
So my point is, like, you take away the guns.
As soon as the government kind of takes over and becomes a tyranny,
you got to fucking fight without any guns.
You got to fight with your fists.
And all you have is your numbers while the other side gets to fucking bomb the shit out of you, gets to use chemical gas, gets to fucking shoot you.
And there's fuck all you can do.
So while they did ban the private sale of firearms in Venezuela, they changed their stance on it real recently and the government
has actually been handing out
heavy weaponry for the
last couple years
to the people who chose to stay in Venezuela
after most of the
anti-socialists left
the country.
I think Venezuela is about to get
real, real hot.
Yeah.
I also saw
that the leader of Cuba
was saying that the issues in Cuba
are our own fault, which is amazing.
Wow.
And Nicaragua released
all of their political prisoners too
that's crazy
it's kind of funny
if we look at
the different kinds of crime
between countries,
you also see it's another example.
Okay, well, we have less gun violence,
but every other aspect is higher.
It's annoying.
Things like rape being higher,
things like burglaries being higher.
Even assaults. Like, it's crazy.
So whatever, like, this is the...
It's a common, like, um...
It's common, like, Western brain rot to go gun control.
They need gun control. It's like, oh, wow, really?
So, here's an interesting data point.
Isn't it interesting how, like, every single country
that has gotten rid of all of its guns has like super super authoritarian like issues?
Like isn't that kind of a funny coincidence? I think it's a funny coincidence, isn't it?
Like all of those countries. It's like, oh yeah, right, right. Surely it's got, it was the guns the whole time.
No, it wasn't. No, like the whole gun control shit is, like, dumb as fuck. And even if you look at gun control, it's not like, hey, isn't it interesting, like, the states, which, in the U.S., which have the strictest laws on gun control, you know, they have the most gun violence.
I mean, it's almost like somebody should create a country.
It's almost like a gun fucking war.
Somebody should create a country and have, you know, an amendment in a constitution that
guarantees the right for citizens to own guns, you know? That would be logical, right?
Yeah, it's almost like that's a thing that needs to continue existing, and it's almost like when
you try to interfere with it somehow, that the quality of life just goes down, and like,
kids start dying. Hmm, interesting coincidence, isn't it? You know, it's like, it's crazy to me.
interesting coincidence, isn't it?
You know, it's like, it's crazy to me.
The funny thing is, like,
it's only the,
it's not funny, but, like,
it's only the honest people
who give up their guns. You know, the criminals
are going to, criminals aren't
buying legal guns in the first place.
And besides,
most of the gun violence out of the U.s comes from a very specific group of people
that nobody wants to talk about oh you went there i asked a lot of people yeah he's at it
the the thing is like that statistic is even under representative because it's only about
a third of them who commit violent crimes.
So it's really closer to 4% of the population, not 13.
Which makes it so much worse.
It does.
And the thing is, we don't lock them up.
We just slap them on the wrist and turn them back loose.
And then the crimes get progressively worse and worse until
there's a string of bodies
and then we're like, oh, gee, what
happened to him? It must have been how he was
raised and his conditions and all this.
No, you knew he was bad when he was
12 years old. You just refused to hold him accountable.
Yeah.
You blame like 90-80% of the population
for a thing that they don't do.
For a thing that maybe 10-20% of the population for a thing that they don't do. For a thing that like maybe 10-20% of the population does.
That's crazy.
I'm glad we're over that whole thing where we just capitulated and accept being called
racist instead of realist.
We're just realist. We're not racist.
Yeah, it's true.
I'm not racist. My dog is, though.
German Shepherd is racist.
Oh, wow.
You had to go there.
It's not a German Shepherd, but it's just well-educated.
Damn.
That's wild.
It's always
funny that the ones
who accuse others of being
racist are the ones
with the least diverse friend groups.
It's like,
Bro, Loki,
if the
greys were chill with us,
we'd have an alien part of our friend
group and nobody would know. We'd just kind of be
there in the space and just
sussing shit out.
That would be just kind of how it is.
That's what the friend group would
be like.
We'd be even fine with that.
We have the tea at home, right?
We have all of these Antifa groups,
and they're super open and everything.
They do not have a single migrant friend.
It's not a single one.
That's the funny thing about race.
It's the most culturally diverse group there is.
They don't care what sex, gender,
what race you are,
as long as you're racist.
Yeah, the racism community.
This was one post I read
I thought was the funniest fuck of shit.
It's like, I'm very confused about the racism community.
They let everybody in as long as
they're racist.
I was like...
That's fucked up hey oh dude i saw a meme about the uh the chick the lesbian that got shot up in
minneapolis i don't know if i can go there or not but i'm gonna go there anyway so there's
this diehard lesbian chick who swore off men and still had a guy unload on her face what the fuck oh that is dark that is so dark holy shit oh my god
damn yo that is crazy you know the saddest part about that what's the fuck like the left wanted
that to happen like that that gives them someone like a martyr like they didn't part about that is... What the fuck? The left wanted that to happen. Like, that gives them someone like a martyr.
Like, they didn't care about that girl's life.
Like, for them, it's a good thing that she died.
Oh, yeah.
And even in this case, where she basically died for the cause, you know, it'd be their cause, right?
And there was this thing going around where they'd say, remember her name.
But then these people came out the woodwork saying, no, this phrase is reserved for black people.
I'm like, so even when someone dies for your absolute insane cause, even then, even then it's not enough?
What? That's crazy!
What? That's crazy.
Like, aside from the fact that it was obviously unnecessary
and it was a bad situation for everyone involved
Like, that's insane
That's insane, you're not willing to do like that
At least that, like, at least recognize, you know
Fucking wild, man
Activity alert Nice, you know? Fucking wild, man.
Ah, activity alert.
Resolved.
Adrian, look at what I just sent.
Looking at whatever you just sent. Oh, goodness. I want to post this so bad you have no idea
go ahead
no no you have no idea the kind of damage this will cause I can't do that
I should post it though
yeah go ahead man nobody cares
go ahead do it
do it. Do it.
If I do it, I get fucked. You do it. Nobody cares.
Because what are they going to do? Take you out of context?
Ridiculous, man.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Let's have a look here.
What else is going on?
Who's got the
polymarket
Kalshi windows open?
Yes. Are we
seeing anything?
Yeah.
It's at
for Khamenei
out of Supreme Leader of Iran
by January 31st.
So not super
impressive.
No, it is not.
But we shall see
then, shall we?
Yeah, for will the
Iranian regime fall
by January 31st
at 17 percent
chance?
Right. regime fall by january 31st at 17 chance right
do you think it's going to be a power vacuum or is it pretty much said
it's not going to be a power vacuum it's going to be the shah sun
Yep.
I have an Iranian friend, and I remember growing up going into his house,
and his mom would show everyone around the house, had a bunch of cool art.
And my friend's grandfather was a rugmaker in Iran before they were forced to leave.
And that's like the
proudest thing that they are of in their house
was that like a picture of their
grandfather like giving a rug to
the Shah of Iran
like they love that dude
yeah
it's unfortunate people were lied to
about him.
They said that he had the secret police where he was arresting people, right?
And they were being very brutal.
And then you look at who the secret police was arresting
and it's like child rapists and terrorists
and people that are currently inists and terrorists and people that are
currently in charge of the fucking government
that are fucking up the country.
So it turns out those
arrests were extremely justifiable.
Indeed. Thank you. Thank you. yeah monitoring the situation is depressing these people are savage as fuck yeah what videos
monitoring the situation takes a toll
yeah sometimes you see some things
you think like
I did not want to see that
well I mean you need to see it.
Yeah, because if you go through the world and it's all padded out,
you tend to forget what's real
and what's not.
And even if you're somewhat
desensitized,
it still has an effect.
You'll still get it.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people like to not see shit,
not see the reality of the world,
and then they all like to pretend like it's all like one big party.
It's not good for you.

Yeah. yeah 10 years into the new year
and it's already on fire
yeah dude
like this year is going to be insane I did say
I did say it was going to be full of narrative engineering
right I did say it was going to be
lots of chaos right
I did say it was going to be lots of people are going to be really
really angry
I remember I did say it was going to be lots of chaos, right? I did say it was going to be lots of people who are going to be really, really angry.
I remember.
It is whenever America goes to a political thing, there's lots of chaos.
It always happens this way.
There will always be some sort of signal and countersignal.
It happens again and again and again and again.
There's very little that...
There's very little that can happen that's good as a countersignal.
And the ICE stuff has been...
Like, to be honest, there are a lot of valid issues that people should be talking about,
but this isn't really one of them, I think.
You can address the fact that they are
dealing with what they're supposed to be doing
improperly, right? There's been lots of
issues.
Like them just arresting fucking like
some citizen, throwing him
against the wall and like making him bleed
because of it. That's fucked up. That's
crazy. That shouldn't happen. It's obviously
too much. But then again,
you know,
this is kind of a both sides issue, right? Because you have a bunch of these people
who are the agents. Put yourself in this position real quick. And I'm not excusing,
I'm not saying anybody should excuse what happened, but I'm just saying, put yourself
in that situation real quick. This guy, he already got hit by a car before.
He was already hospitalized for the fact that he got hit by a car before. And now the same shit happens again. Like these people, they always like to complain about how they have some sort of
trauma or some bullshit. And they're like five different medications to try and mitigate that
kind of shit. And you have this dude who has actual traumas, actual real physical problems from an
encounter that he had not too long ago.
And then
this is somehow, like, discounted. It's like, okay,
cool. That's great.
That's fantastic, you know?
So all of these people are on edge.
Plus, how would you feel
if you knew that all of
these people
that you're supposed to be doing enforcement on and the people that side with them actively try to fuck your life up by doxing you.
You know, people go to those guys' houses, you know?
That's another thing.
Like, they are on edge all the time.
They have a target on their back all the fucking time, no matter where they go.
If they are in enforcement or civilian clothes, they have a target on their backs.
So, they are always on edge.
They are always pissed off, and they're just
waiting for an opportunity.
So, like,
what we're seeing right now is just kind of
the culmination of a both-sides
problem that just turns out as
all-out chaos, and it's like, now you have
protests and shit.
Wicked. Absolutely wicked. It's kind of, it's very similar you have protests and shit wicked absolutely wicked it's it's kind of
it's very similar to like george floyd and all of these all of these other things it's actually
very similar to george floyd i would say it's practically identical in many ways or like i
would say there is parallels they're very large parallels between the the george floyd stuff and
look here the riots are starting and shit like that. Well, more so protests at the moment,
but it's going to turn into riots at some point, I'm pretty sure.
I hope it doesn't.
It would be kind of gay if it did.
But, I mean, it happened before, didn't it?
The biggest similarity is how close we are to the next election.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There are a lot of parallels. There are a lot of parallels there are a lot of parallels
what I'm implying is that
they literally would not
care if we
were not coming up on midterms
it's a tool for them it's not
any sort of moral or
just pause
yeah any sort of moral or just pause. Yep. Man, I hope there's no riots that shit would suck eggs
oh there will be but it'll be different this time because
like people are just they're not gonna put up with their own thing
so uh less less financial damages this time
so uh less less financial damages this time
i just think they're gonna be over very quick
are you implying a violence modifier yes yes it'll be it'll be fast and loud and over
we shall see then huh i hope it doesn't come to any of these things I hope it doesn't come to a riot at all
it doesn't really benefit anybody
but I do agree with JP
that there's a lot of repressed
rage from
times prior
that might
come
that may come to the surface
in a very uncontrolled manner,
and that is not good for anyone involved.
So, yeah.
People should just calm the fuck down.
Seriously.
The key thing is that there's...
With George Floyd,
they had Black Lives Matter,
they had all these organisms just like before that you had
Uh, what was the wall street one where they were protesting wall street? Um
Does you don't remember what that's called? I don't remember what it's called but you remember what were they all were
Were doing that that were the were the 99 thing
and like all those sort of protests were organized
like they were organized around uh like a central entity um like an organization and
there does not appear to be one for this one and there is it's it's a shadow entity um but uh there's no like you know organization that kind
of like you can rally behind this is yeah yeah and so because it's decentralized like that um
there's not going to be anything to really hold people back from making the mistake because if
if you're the group that's protesting you don't want it to be a riot.
Like, a riot is
bad for your
goal.
And because there's nothing
like that, there's nothing that's going to be
able to stop it from escalating. It's going to
escalate very quickly.
Yeah.
Which, of course, is going to justify
an appropriate response in the eyes
of the people who
oppose such ideas
and of course with
who's in office right now means that
action will be
met with force
like if you look at all the really bad riots
there weren't organizations
around the music like the la riots
la riots they just kind of like
happened
yes this is true
but it became like a it became like a widespread thing Yes, this is true.
But it became like a widespread thing in the United States after that, though.
Which was very problematic.
It caused, what, a billion dollars in damages?
Fuck, and not even ISIS and Al-Qaeda combined
caused that much damage.
Like, they did that.
They knocked that out of the park
in a month. They knocked that out of the park
in a month. That's insane.
Oh, and many, even
though it was a Black Lives Matter movement, right,
many of the black-earned businesses were
destroyed. And many of those
that were destroyed never came back
after that. They were broke. The damage
was such that it was so bad
they couldn't come back anymore. So
the people that they were supposedly
fighting for, they never did,
those people
got the short end of the stick.
They were the most negatively
impacted.
Great job. Good shit.
Good shit.
Absolutely insane.
What is that fucking smell?
Never mind.
Just had the alien moment.
Let's have a look here.
Let me go on my news list.
I have a look here. Let me go on my news list. I have a news list.
By the way, if anybody wants to know what my news list is, here's my news list everybody.
I'm going to pin it up at the top so others can monitor the situation as well.
All right, so let's have a look here. Invasion of Greenland, some other propaganda stuff.
Bounty increase.
Ilhan Omar inciting violence.
That's on brand.
And there's more protests at ICE facilities.
And there's one about US carrier strike group currently deployed in the Middle East.
Very nice.
Some Starlink stuff, which is really interesting yeah more protest news yeah that was pretty much it not much else
oh nice post.
Thanks, Otto.
Damn. This is a wild. I have lots of Arabian content on my shirt, pretty good.
Delicious. hmm
hmm Thank you. that's interesting
JP you seen anything
anything interesting
mentioning
just a lot of shitposting.
Yeah, tons of shitposting.
That's right. Same stuff
I'm seeing. Not many developments.
I would say
this. I would be surprised.
I would be surprised if there would
be...
I would be
surprised if there's anything that happens today in Iran. I'd be surprised if there's anything that happens
today in Iran.
I'd be surprised.
I don't see it as very possible
that anything is going to happen today.
I see it as exceedingly unlikely.
But if I'm wrong, and I do want to be wrong on this
actually, because it would be great if it happens
because it's better sooner than later,
it seems that the narrative
engineering on Greenland is being more prioritized
which i find is exceedingly stupid so i don't i don't see that i i think it's just a meme um
so back back in 2016 when trump was beefing with megan kelly they they had just a very, very bad public belief.
Megyn Kelly later said that she ran into him after the beef was over.
And his words were, wasn't it great how much attention we were getting?
And she realized that for him, the beef was literally just to control the narrative.
And that's the thing is when you say ridiculous shit, that's what people are talking about. And you can kind of do a little bit more behind the scenes and get away with a little bit more because people are focused on you saying ridiculous shit instead of what's actually happening.
And I think that's what Trump's doing.
I think it's what he's doing with Venezuela.
I think that's what he's been doing, you know, parading that, not Venezuela, that's what he's doing with Greenland.
I think it's what he's been doing, parading that Venezuelan guy around and making all those jokes.
And I think he said something about grabbing another leader if he wanted to i think cuba or columbia or something
and the thing is like it works and it's like he's proven time and time again that that strategy
works so i wouldn't be surprised if you see him do something highly actionable in the next couple
days and then just keep talking about greenland we're just grabbing leaders now
it's a great strategy why not just grab the leader
isn't that crazy though it in less than three hours they grabbed like the head of a country
like it's it's it's pretty easy To kill someone
But to take someone alive
That's a whole
Different ballgame
And so for him to have done that so quickly
Why couldn't we have done that in
Iraq
Why couldn't we have done that
In Afghanistan
Well technically that would have been in Pakistan
Because you guys were trying to install A pseudo fucking democracy in Afghanistan and well technically that would have been in Pakistan and we did attempt that
because you guys were trying to install a pseudo-fucking
democracy in there instead of actually
trying to make the country functional
no you're right
that's what I'm saying
you know
and I think we will start seeing a more functional
country out of Venezuela
yeah you have to specifically go into the I think we will start seeing a more functional country out of Venezuela. Yeah.
You have to specifically go into the,
go in with the goal of making it a functional country,
not just being like democracy.
We're going to install a democracy.
Another like good thing that's happened out of that is,
is the shadow fleet is falling apart.
And because of that,
like that's putting significant amount of pressure on Iran. That's, that's something we're not talking about is the Shadow Fleet is falling apart, and because of that, that's putting a significant
amount of pressure on our end. That's something we're
not talking about is the Shadow Fleet.
We did take
two ships this
week, but we actually took
a third ship, and then we took a fourth ship,
but we were legally
like, those were legally
recognized as things
that we could take.
The two ghost ships that we took, technically, we weren't supposed to touch those.
But we've taken a total of seven boats in the last, I want to say, three or four days.
Inside, I think one got taken near Sweden, off the coast there.
That's besides the point.
We've taken about a million barrels of crude oil off the market per day, which that's pretty significant. And I think as the Shadow Fleet starts falling apart, because the people who own these ships, they aren't going to want to put their ships at risk, even though they're making pretty good money off of it.
But I think we're going to see like seven or eight million barrels a day being pulled off the market.
I think right now, so far iran has cut
its production by about a million barrels um and and russia's cut their production by about five
million barrels uh just because like the if you if you can't move like if you don't have anywhere
to store the crude you can't be pulling it out of the ground. And once you stop the production, it takes a very long time to get it started in most cases.
And so we're effectively draining the wallet of the war machine of the, I guess, the opposition.
I guess the opposition.
Russia needs their oil so that they can get their weapons.
And so does Iran, quite frankly.
Countries aren't going to invest in Iran if they don't think they're going to get their money back.
And the countries that it strategically makes sense for them to protect Iran
don't have the money to protect it.
It's going to make
the collapse of Iran a lot
smoother than it would have been
if that didn't happen. Of course, that's just my perspective on it.
I could very well be wrong.
I just want to throw that out there,
but I'm pretty dead on with the oil market.
I think we're going to see oil pick back up in price
over the next couple months. It'll take a while because
there's a lot of stuff in the
term is the plumbing.
There's a lot of stuff that's coming into market that's already been produced.
But once that stuff starts to
sort of level off,
I think we should see a pretty pretty hefty spike
in crude oil prices temporarily which of course will be met with increased production um
but i i do i do think long long term we're gonna see like all fuel and stuff those prices go down significantly
i wouldn't be surprised if we saw 40 barrel of oil uh towards the end of 27.
but i i think think we'll pass 75 here in the next couple months on the way up
yeah we shall see we shall see what happens yeah
we shall see
we shall see what happens
are you going to buy into
oil or anything like that
what do you
well I'd probably buy out of the money
option not out of the money
out of the money and backdated options
on some of the ETFs
probably be what I'll do.
It's a little bit more reserved play than what I'm used to,
but I'm trying
to be a little bit more reserved right now.
yeah,
yeah, out of the money
call options, backdates
I think are a pretty
safe choice right now.
Okay.
This is not financial advice.
Clearly,
clearly. We're a financial...
We commentate on the situation.
We comment on the situation.
We voice our thoughts on the thing.
in cases
like these, we voice no
recommendation.
I would do this.
I will say, if we
do see a run on crude, people will
sell other assets like gold and
silver. Especially, they'll
take their profits on that so that they can
participate in the oil run.
Especially silver.
Silver is wildly inflated.
That shit needs to go back down again.
That is insane.
I'm not going to deny that silver is exceedingly useful,
but it doesn't need
to be this valued.
It doesn't meet the demand.
It looks sketchy at the current level.
I would argue that it's been undervalued for so long and this is it it's just it's meeting its
price um it's real price and i it will because the silver market's so so ridiculous it's all
all controlled by derivatives something like 95 of of every uh silver of every ounce of silver that's sold doesn't actually exist.
It's only on paper.
And so when you have such a heavy paper market, it's really easy to keep the price suppressed while you buy physical silver.
silver and that's what we saw over since like 2014 that was what's been happening a lot of
And that's what we saw since 2014.
That was what's been happening.
his basement buying physical property like physical silver and then been selling down derivatives um
and uh so as as they start to cover and some will roll over but as those you know derivatives start
to get closed out because it's a cash equivalency market and so all that means is that the the
contract tracks the price but there's no actual silver to be delivered
um whereas like an oil contract that oil will be delivered um whether you're the one who's
delivered to or not uh that that doesn't really matter.
It will show up at port.
But I think that that's what we're seeing in silver.
This is the manipulation is over.
And it's not that it's being manipulated up.
And gold as well. But silver is the real case because it's the one that's running and um with the metal markets you always see one metal moving significantly
faster than the others uh and this time it's silver sometimes it's platinum um sometimes
it's copper but whenever there's the like the metals move. So if silver's up, copper's going to be up, gold's going to be up.
And so usually, usually right now you see one of them running and we've seen silver running for a while.
I still think that it's undervalued, like long, long term.
long, long term.
And of course, because
the paper market is so heavily
involved in its price,
you won't ever
really see its real value,
I don't think.
But if you go historically,
if you go back before these paper markets existed...
To me, it's just supply and demand.
Right now, they're not producing
enough supply to meet the demand,
especially with all the new technologies that are coming out that are going
to use it.
It's being used in AI.
It's being used in batteries during being used by solar panels.
And it takes five years to actually increase supply.
So it's just,
to me,
it's just a matter of supply and demand.
So, so historically only about 10% of silver production went into action. actually increase supply. To me, it's just a matter of supply and demand. So historically,
only about 10% of silver
production went into actual
electronics.
And even if that goes to 20-30%,
a lot of the silver
production ends up in vaults.
But I...
I mean, it's kind of like gold. But you could
say that about gold, too. You could say that about gold too.
80% of it is just going into
shit that
Chinese people give as gifts or Indian people wear
or jewelry or whatever the fuck.
Not even that. It's going into bulk storage.
Very little of it is is ending up in in the
the jewelry market and whatnot um well the point i'm making is that the electronic one is a lot more
uh willing to pay high prices yeah but what what i'm saying, like, even if we stopped producing silver, it would take us a really long time to run out of silver if all they were using to make electronics.
Yeah, yeah, but I'm not saying, that's not what I'm saying, though.
I'm just saying it's supply and demand, right?
There's all this demand coming in from new technologies, right, that are going to want that at any price they can get it for.
And then you've got a bunch of people also buying it and putting it in vaults.
It's not about those people might not even sell.
It's just kind of about simple supply and demand.
Well, the people who are storing it,
eventually they're going to be running out of money to buy it with, right?
So that's not a long-term really effect on
supply and demand it's that's a short-term spike now the increase of electronic production that is
a long-term demand increase um but but it is so negligible comparative to what's actually being
produced even though production is low at this moment look but that's like saying, yes, we know that gold is mostly being used for jewelry.
Most of the world's gold is being used for jewelry.
But we still know that gold has value for electronics.
And that's part of the reason it actually has a useful use case.
It's not just a store of value or something that people buy and put in vaults.
It actually has a use case.
But we know that most of the time it is actually just being wasted away and put in vaults.
And just as jewelry, we know this.
But that doesn't mean that just because it's a smaller percentage doesn't mean that that part of it isn't more valuable.
Because electronics are a lot more stable, right?
The companies are going to be willing to pay higher prices.
People are going to be willing to decrease their buying or selling and then just wait it out when the price is higher.
But the electronics companies they
always have to buy and so what i'm saying is the retail purchase of investment silver
it's at a high price and that money's going to go away whereas that's where most of the demand
comes from and so like that that itself is going to decrease faster than the demand from the increase in electronics.
Cause eventually people stop buying, eventually hits a price where people stop buying and we will see the market turn around even if it's just temporary, temporary but i i i still believe that it's undervalued as an asset um
just in general like silver has been historically like much closer to gold as far as the ratio is
concerned um like if if you look before like the the 1700s um it was trading like anywhere from a
four four to one to eight to one.
So that meant with four ounces of silver,
we would buy one ounce of gold
or eight ounces of silver, we would buy one ounce of gold.
And if you look through all of human history,
it's been very, very close to that up until the last 300 years.
And there's a point where that starts to return to mean because
it does have just as
much use from a financial
aspect as
gold does
and the middle markets always fluctuate
I'm not sure I agree
to me it's kind of like Bitcoin and
Litecoin like Litecoin.
Litecoin is completely
fucking useless. The people
that invest in it are branded.
I'm not educated enough
to speak on that,
but I
think I would say
you're probably correct on that.
I would say most of the altcoins and memecoins are worthless.
No, but I'm saying that gold has the same value as silver in that sense doesn't really make a lot of sense to me.
I wouldn't think that that's a fair comparison because Litecoin really doesn't have any external use cases.
Sure it does. It's a testnet for Bitcoin. That's its only use case.
It also helps secure the Doge network.
Okay, securing the Doge network is not as large as an incentive as you're making it out to be.
Yeah, but it has merit no the
largest merit that litecoin has by far and it's not even close with anything else is the fact
that it acts as a test net for bitcoin i i you don't need litecoin to have that test network
people can do that test network
without having
any volatility or anything like that
I'm not saying
that's not what I'm saying
I'm just saying that
a lot of people are like
Bitcoin is like gold
Litecoin is like silver
I just don't see the value in it
in that way well silver's there's
gold is something that has been used for thousands of years it has been cherished by
pretty much every society that has ever existed silver has too though like if you look at like
silver cutlery and uh silver's been used medicine. A lot of these places that silver's used, there's no point in using gold.
Like gold serves no purpose.
I can't think of a medical use of gold other than the fact that it's very sterile, very easy to keep sterile.
But silver is also very easy to keep sterile.
Oxidates too fast.
It's very unstable.
That's true.
But, you know, silver is used in...
It's just about the length of time that it's been cherished
as the most valuable asset that humans have.
It hasn't, though.
Yeah, but look, we built entire currencies around it.
Like, what do you think the pound is?
The pound initially represented one pound of silver?
Yeah, but the pound was stuck to the dollar, which was backed by the gold.
That's only recently.
The pound existed long before the dollar did.
If you look at the Roman Empire, for example, they had gold coins, they had silver coins, but the gold coin was the most valuable.
In every culture, gold has been the most cherished thing, unless they didn't have access.
I'd say that they're very much equally cherished or very, very closely.
I wouldn't be able to say that it is that big of a difference.
I don't know much about Roman currency.
I don't know what the ratio was from a gold coin to a silver coin as far as weight is concerned.
I should know, but i don't
i i we have we have as a society society has have kind of given it this this appearance that it's
the second rate metal um but but it has so much more practical use and because of that, I think that it has more long-term value
or more
has a
potential to become closer to the
price of gold. Whether that
means gold comes down or silver goes up,
I'm not
able to say that.
I know that that um if you look in in your house at how much actual like how much or
let's let's uh let's go um a different route uh if you were to go into a home, like a very wealthy person's home in the 1800s,
how much stuff would they have made out of silver versus gold?
It'd be almost entirely silver.
Even though at that time,
gold wasn't that much more expensive.
Silver was what it was because
like is culturally
like culturally like
you know silver platters
silverware, silver
you know candle holders
all that sort of stuff.
Doorknobs. If you look
at like the aristocrats in society
they made
like they displayed their wealth with silver not gold
it's only very recently that that it's become that the gold's been more of a focus I
That's just my opinion
I think silver is undervalued
Comparative to gold
Right
I have no opinion on the matter
but it does make me think about you know it comes always up with colonialism right
um like some people saying oh we built everything by stealing everything it's just like gold diamonds
like spices like stuff nobody needs you know what i? Like luxury goods that we took, just a random thing.
Yeah, and even like with the supposed stealing of colonialism,
I mean, think about it, right?
So you have, let's say you took a bunch of historical items from a place
and, you know, put it in your museum.
Many of these countries from which these historical items came,
they virtually destroyed all of their dick sites already.
You have like the Islamists, for instance, that decide,
hey, let's destroy this 16 or 32,000 year old carving in the rock
for no fucking good reason.
And then people have a problem, they go, oh, well, but you know,
you're not supposed to go
there and take it. It's like, well, if it wasn't
taken, it wouldn't be preserved, now
would it? It's the same reason
why we have very little history.
The Egyptians gave
zero fucks about the pyramids.
They would just keep looting whatever the fuck was
on the surface.
Until
Napoleon came along and he was
he fell in love with the pyramids.
And then suddenly everyone cared
about the pyramids because of Napoleon.
The Egyptians didn't give a fuck.
Yeah.
Also they sold the mummies which were sometimes
eaten as jerky by the British
so there's that
I did not know that
weird fact
who sold that do you think
I wonder what it tastes like
who extracted the mummies
there's your answer
even here in the South Pacific
a lot of history is lost
because the culture is not used to keeping things.
For instance,
you have two countries that are very similar
in nature, but have different
outcomes and different ways of
dealing with the same problems.
You have the
native Fijians,
and then you have the Maori of New Zealand.
There's more history
about the Maori because the British
had a greater influence and kept
a lot of that history. They also have more of a
desire to keep
things themselves, and because of that, we know a lot
of their history. We have tons of artifacts
and reconstructions of their buildings
and original stuff, not even replicas,
original stuff that they have. I've been to the
museum in one of the
museums in New Zealand on the main island
and I was like, holy shit, man, they got
so many artifacts, bro, it's
crazy, in comparison to the
museum that exists here in the capital city.
And it's like, well, I mean, if you
have cultures that don't value their history
and then you take from those
cultures artifacts that they were discarding
and you preserve them.
Who is the bad guys?
It's not you.
It's not the person who took it and preserved the artifact.
Nobody would know of these things.
Nobody would know of these things.
It would have rotted away and vanished into time, the massive volume of time and the events contained within it,
and the chaos, right?
It would just have all vanished.
All the history would have vanished, right?
So the idea of colonialism is like, I mean,
it depends on who's colonizing you at the time, right?
So that's another aspect.
Not everything was done the same way,
but largely colonialism was very good
what was wrong with it?
somebody tell me, what was wrong with it?
to have less savagery than ever before
most of the laws
that exist in all of these countries
that came due to colonialism
they now speak an international language
because of it, otherwise they'd be all cut off and they'd still be tribal.
Hell, funnily enough, if it wasn't for the Spanish,
the Filipinos would likely still live in fucking caves.
Because when the Spanish came there, they lived in fucking caves.
That's insane.
Right?
So if it wasn't for them, they'd still be in squalor.
Right?
So when I hear these historically illiterate and largely otherwise illiterate people talk about how bad colonialism is, I just quite frankly like them to shut the fuck up and never say another word for the next five years if there's anything to do with history and focus on learning it first and then getting back to the subject matter at hand.
And that is figuring out how you can make your pitiful existence something that's actually worth the air that you breathe.
That's what you're supposed to be doing with your
life, that's what you're supposed to be figuring out,
and calling out a bunch of achievers
in the world that made the world around you
so good and so secure.
Instead of doing that, you should probably figure out
what you're going to do with yourself, instead of being a
useless motherfucker that's annoying,
and akin in terms of
usefulness to a fucking mosquito. Because that's annoying and akin in terms of usefulness to a fucking
mosquito.
Because that's what you are. You suck the
life energy out of a civilization. You give
nothing back and are just annoying, noisy
and leave behind damages of wherever
you did your extraction. So please
take a seat, you know.
Wait your turn.
I am checking my DMs and there's someone
asking to come up who
says that they are Iranian.
I don't know if that means they're in Iran.
But it's a
fairly big account.
I don't know if they're requesting
still. It's called Warren
I can't say his last name.
Mikaman?
As a general rule, I only let up
people who are sub to me.
So if they are then sure i i don't know if he's still requesting but i i saw his demon i know he might actually be in iran so okay well
again like as a general rule i only let up anyone who's up to me so it looks like he's in denmark
okay like as a general rule i only let up anyone who's stopped to me so it looks like he's in denmark okay
that is funny a denmark app store and what
fascinating what do you mean by failed account how big
i mean it's about six he's got about six thousand000 followers, which that's relatively... My ult has almost 10.
But I'm saying it's not like a burner account.
It's clearly...
That's what I was trying to get at.
But still, general rule is
must be subbed.
That's the general rule.
General rule of thumb here.
Gotta pay up.
It's only a fucking dollar, after all.
It's not, you know,
not difficult to fork that over. Let's be real.
There's a certain
thing in this regard.
Yeah. there's a certain thing in this regard yeah one of the big issues is I'm trying to find
good quantitative news accounts that actually make sense
there's very little of those
all they do is like shit posts and they make a lot of propaganda.
It's not even the nice version
of propaganda that's entertaining.
It's just some weird bullshit.
It annoys me.
You know it's funny that Elon
has a list called monkeys
i've seen that recently yeah i've been following that one for a few years
it's like imagine if you get added to monkeys i want to be added to monkeys
like imagine that you're one of the monkeys i'm fine with it
monkeys wait until they start shitposting you're one of the monkeys. I'm fine with it.
They're like monkeys. Wait until they start shitposting.
That's one problem with X, right? As a news app,
it's great, but then people shitpost
in between. You need two lanes, right?
Here's my serious post, and here's everything else.
Yeah, like news feed yeah i think i've been curating the curating the news accounts quite
well you get a decent understanding of what is happening so yeah can kind of figure out
figure out what's happening.
So yeah, if you're... If you're eating onion, there's like a...
Oh, okay. Mm-hmm. oh okay
also see what the
i'm hungry i need to eat something
yeah same i'm gonna make steak
be good should be good I think. Yeah, same. I'm going to make a stick.
Be good.
Should be good.
Well, for those who want to come up, also give me a reasoning. Give me a reasoning for
what we'd like to discuss, and I'll
base on that.
Alright.
So far.
What is this that's just like that's just like
what I was talking about earlier
people are losing it
somebody asking
can we talk about smoking hot Iranian women
that propaganda is working very well
I like it, it's good
they do have some good-looking women.
That's why they keep me covered up.
I like those posts where it's like,
if you demand this to be covered up,
you're gay.
Those posts are funny as shit. I love it.
Real talk, though. Real talk.
It's true.
Not all of them. Not all of them, you know, not all of them look that good, but you know, quite a bunch.
Quite a bunch of them are quite good.
Let's see here.
Okay, give it a bit of a trial here.
here let's see what happens no shilling no shilling
Let's see what happens.
No shilling, no shilling.
all right let's see
jeff welcome hey what's going on adrian what's up ballots um yeah i i've seen that the Supreme Ayatollah in Iran has not been part of this ceasefire
in this government situation in the last year or so, year and a half, two years.
He reminds me of Nancy Pelosi. He's 86 years old.
I don't think that he's part of the conversation anymore, much to speak of,
even though he's the religious leader of iran just
concerned that that uh i'm concerned for the for the people in iran most importantly and i'm just
concerned that that their government is not working for the what's best for them and i don't know
there's a huge situation.
I actually made a post about this before where I kind of explained.
Sure.
I explained the government of Iran.
The religious leader, the first one during the Iranian Revolution,
Khomeini actually has a quote where he says,
Let this land burn as long as Islam becomes the dominant religion of the world.
What they mean is that they don't give a shit about the economy.
They don't give a shit about how the people are doing.
They see the country as a way to export the religion to the rest of the world.
way to export the religion to the rest of the world. And they have been very willing to spend
the tax dollars, to spend the oil money, to spend the gas money, all on exporting terrorism to the
rest of the world. So it has never, ever worked for the people. And even when they took over,
they had a very difficult time. They just had a bunch of situations that worked in their favor.
They had a very difficult time.
They just had a bunch of situations that worked in their favor.
Cities originally refused to accept them and fought back, but then Iraq invaded, and so
the government was able to say, hey, if you're attacking us, that means you're helping Iraq.
So this has never been a government of the people.
This has been a government that's been holding them hostage.
That's as Shias and the Sunnis have been fighting for hundreds and hundreds of years too,
from what I'm understanding, over the years in the Middle East as well.
I don't think that that's as significant as a lot of people are making it out to be.
It's just about them trying to be a center of power.
They're arguing over who gets to be the center of power of the Muslim world.
There's not any significant differences between the two.
There's less of a difference between those two groups than there is between two Christian sects.
They almost agree on pretty much the exact same things.
The only thing they disagree about, which is major, is who should have been the second
guy in charge after Muhammad died.
The Sunnis believe that it should have been the second in command, and the Shias believe
that it should have been his cousin.
That's really the only significant difference between the two.
But it's more about power than it is about religion itself.
Mecca's in charge of the nation of Islam, in my opinion, for Mecca.
That's where the crown prince bin Salman in Dubai and Qatar all agree that Mecca is the birthplace of Islam and that that's where the decision,
in my opinion, comes out of for the peace in the region.
It comes out of Mecca and the House of Saud.
Right, right. right right i'm gonna get the uncapped the house you want to talk about silver and and whatnot so let's talk about silver and those materials
do this you know i i i as a i've worked in the aircraft recycle business and there's millions and millions and millions of pounds of metal that need to be recycled.
And I'm working on that particular area.
Mostly aluminum, right?
I do see aluminum for sure, 100%.
You know, hundreds of thousands in a 747 point aircraft of just aluminum itself.
But the circuitry and all of that good stuff is uh
silver is it is it does oxidize faster than gold for circuitry but i'm thinking that the
majority of those top metals are going to the aidentic data centers jeff. I'm sorry.
You guys copy me here?
Hmm?
You guys hear me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're good.
Yeah.
So I'm thinking that the metal,
the precious metal,
is going to be used primarily
for the data centers,
the AI data centers.
What's your guys' take on those
and the environmentals of that?
I also think it's going to be used for batteries. The one thing that's very useful for
semiconductors, AI specifically, would be silicon, really. That's what it's all about at that point.
Silver, if you wanted to go that route,
it would be mostly batteries, I think, actually,
which would be, you know,
if you have silver and batteries,
that would be really good.
And if they actually work as they're supposed to work,
then that would be, like, yeah, foggit, epic, awesome.
But, yeah, I don't know.
I don't have many fundamentals to, like, say like say hey silver is going to be essential in AI
so it's yeah I can't really say anything about that
I don't really see it there's like bits that are missing for me there
it's also the best evidence
heat exchange probably though
what do you think about quantum diamonds probably the time. Missouri on a capital is that?
Would you say,
what do you think about quantum diamonds?
What?
Come again.
They're lab printing diamonds that,
well, obviously,
so lab printing diamonds is suddenly overtaken value of natural diamonds
for the first time.
So that's one.
But then two is they're printing, they're creating like vacuum spaces with nitrogen and then one atom of void in diamonds in order to process quantum compute at more reasonable temperatures.
Yeah, I don't know about that. at more reasonable temperatures.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Diamonds are great for cutting.
That's one of the best things that you use a diamond for, for sure.
They're also really good if you're trying to get laid.
Bruv.
Bravo, bravo. Brough Bravo Bravo
So I'm a good insulator as well for like going through Faraday
type environments So this is like a physical so this diamond is
like if these these defects introduced defects effectively are then a physical
qubit interesting okay sure
Sure.
Yeah, I didn't hear enough about this.
I think it's fascinating how humans can
create materials.
Why is it that Elliot can't connect?
What the fuck is going on here with this space?
It should work.
Can everybody still hear me
can you hear me
absolutely
yeah
yeah spaces were buggy there for a second
on the phone
usually happens around this time of the day too
I kind of want to
shut it down not going to lie
and then head over to the discourse
because it is that time of the day
yeah because this is what we're going to be doing I don't think there not going to lie, and then head over to the discourse over there, because it is that time of the day.
Yeah, because this is what we're going to be doing.
I don't think there's going to be a major Iran situation
anytime soon here, out of this one.
So we're going to see what happens
next. Maybe something is going to be towards the end of the day
or next day or whatever, but I don't really see
it as being today or even tomorrow
as being anything that's like,
you know. Right now, probably
I think,
maybe you might see an increase
in the Greenland situation first.
Like, if there's some more increase in action there,
or, like, need for action in Greenland,
then I would say it is more likely
that something in Iran is going to happen,
because it would be a great distraction.
But that would just be an assumption. It's an assumption. That is not to happen because it would be a great distraction, but that would just be an
assumption. It's an assumption. That is not to be taken as fact, that is to be taken with a very
large grain of salt. That is an assumption I'm making. So that's what I see out of that at the
moment. We can also go by some of the Polymarket and Calci bets to like kind of refer us to what people think is
going to happen next you know to add an additional data point but outside of that there's not much
else that i can think of to be honest that would justify say an early early coming of a correction
effectively but yeah until then i think i'll see i'll see you all again i'll see you all again
next week on spaces and a week to come we're going to see if uh during the one week period that we have between
these spaces you're going to have an actual situation in iran that is going to lead to the
people being freed so perhaps you know hopefully it's going to happen within the coming week
but yeah i'm going to continue now doing the thing that i usually do for the advanced members
in my discord server above is the link
where you can join go click that
and we shall see you all there
in the advanced member section
alright see you guys
thank you sir
see you dude
goodbye
goodbye
brother
brother I desire speed Goodbye. Goodbye, brother. Brother!
I desire speed.
Lies, brother.
Your trash can is better than mine.
Before you go, you should kick Elliot because he's not following you.
Hey, that's right, that's right.
Goodbye, motherfucker. Before you go, you should kick Elliot because he's not following you. Hey, that's right. That's right.
Yeah.
Goodbye, motherfucker.
Shit, nerd.
Fucking nerd.
Nah, man.
He's a friend.
All good.
All good.
See you guys.
