to add onto this, one of my entire classes at NYU "Covid and economic policy" we've literally just looked at science and how its effected the political and economic landscape. Yet, you say stuff like what you did here on hacker news and you get reported / flagged / greyed out. That is why I dont contribute here anymore, it's basically like reddit-lite
I would say that there is copious evidence of the effort by some to degrade the role of white men in society today, often simply in the name of diversity. The relegation of high achieving men is a hallmark of foundering societies.
I have a few questions out of curiosity:
what is your age? What is your income? and where do you live? A 35 year old making 350k in the bay area is not prone to the nihilistic struggle that fuels many young men
Everybody already knows this, so it has become a moot point. Nobody really cares, but they should. The deconstruction of the male's role in society will contribute to the downfall of the west, and that's coming from one of these mistrusting, nihilistic, 4chan contributing males
interactive brokers is really the best you're going to get. Its a low level API which is generally good. Terrible documentation, in fact the worst documentation I've ever seen on such a large project, but once you figure it out it'll give you all the functionality needed.
You realize that this strategy isn't going to work indefinitely? People like you will be blown out in the future. Sorry if that sounds awful, but it always astounds me how people think investment managers are tantamount to tea leaf readers, and that they've figured it out by simple dollar cost averaging. I just don't understand the mindset
Is there a UVP other than the decentralization? I ask because I've seen a lot of social networks in the decentralized space, yet none have offered something that say, facebook, does not.
Seems no one has mentioned it, but I wonder how easy it would be to prescribe this as a solution to those with mental illness. For example, when I smoked weed for the first and only time I had the worst panic attack of my life that made it 5 hours of hell, so I promised myself I'd never do it again. I didn't suffer from mental illness previously, except for some basic anxiety, but these drugs can trigger major panic attacks and even psychosis. The risk of triggering an episode goes up the more severe your illness; ie. I remember reading that someone who previously suffered panic disorder has a 500% higher chance than the average person of a panic attack when smoking weed and if you are depressed or schizophrenic the numbers get worse.
Combine that with the fact that guys like Joe rogan tell those with mental illness not to try hallucinogens, and it makes me wonder how will these solutions affect the brain chemistry of the mentally ill in the long run? What are the potential side effects and how does a pre-existing condition outside of depression change your risk factors?
