Happy Masters everyone. I am duty bound, for the 12th year in a row (the Masters is about tradition) to post my story about the time I tried to etch my name in Augusta history forever (by eating every concession item in one day) web.archive.org/web/20160302...

I wrote about how all this MAGA tariff support is just like finance QAnon (even when Trump backs down). Trust the plan. Follow the crumbs. Trump's in control. A golden age is nigh. This is how people break from reality now. (gift) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

hard to believe but if history is any guide its gonna get like 10x dumber and scarier before it gets even a little bit sensical

im on a plane and CNN's on next to me and dana bash is interviewing dave portnoy about tariffs and i just thought of my maxim and oh shit dave portnoy's gonna be president someday isn't he

where we go one we go all (into global financial crisis)

this is a peak social media experience: seeing charts like this that (personally speaking) you have zero idea how to interpret but still having a gut feeling of ‘ohhhh shit’ and scrolling on. aand that’s why we play the game!

trust the process

you don't get it because you're a rube but it is always a good sign when the man holding the global economy hostage is talking like this

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

everything's computer

seeing this going around and a lot of ppl are misinterpreting it as Lutnick saying Americans are gonna do the assembly stuff. But in some ways it’s even wilder than that. He says the jobs would be automated! It’s not about jobs, it’s just…crashing the economy!

the richest man in the world…with an interior life that seems just so so hollow and honestly quite dull!

historically the bad faith stuff quickly moves into bedrock belief territory. the way all these reality breaks usually go is that once one of these groups is cornered and hitched to a disastrous idea, they double down and build a fantasy world around it bc it’s easier than admitting they were wrong

fun new QAnon spinoff for finance

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

been interesting to watch people contort into stridently defending unpopular things or deeply unpopular messages ("the stock market owes you nothing, especially not a reasonable avg rate of return" is one i saw today from...a vc!). this guy is saying: the govt decides what you want & what you need

the loomer stuff tracks with my broad framework of the world since 2015 where any morally bankrupt person I reflexively feel is supremely unworthy of my attention ends up being somebody who i am professionally forced to pay lots of attention to for years and years

from 11/4/24. they were just saying it! www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

they really need to invent a second type of money these guys can play around with separate from the money I need to buy food. Business Money. Money 2

i feel like i'm going insane

welp. *this* is exactly what i’m talking about when i say we need to judge llm’s less on the technology‘s promise and more on how they’re used now - with attention paid to the world these tools are being dropped into.

honestly who is to say we're not all dead im not counting it out
