@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj yeah none of this speaks to genius work by the fed, even assuming that they hold their nerve and don't start printing when all this corporate debt starts bankrupting companies left and right
@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj so explain what we're missing here, as you're so clued in
@kakkerel @thatguyoverthere @11112011 @0 @dj blitz you're chatting balls, inflation forces their hand there's nothing intentional or wise about what's going on, they just got it when the music stopped
@vriska man is a product of that system
@cjd that's a prediction, not a method
it seems that the severity of any given crisis is secondary upon the assumption that it is used for a political excuse to arrogate power
you then have two perspectives:
a) what is the danger of a given crisis as such?
b) what room for manouevre do the optics of said crisis allow bad actors?
tbh both seem academic if you simply focus on securing comms/money supply and personal safety/security - yet that's also a recipe for civic decay as it sort of precludes any form of politics and cedes that realm to those who would abuse it
@cjd how useful is "intent of others" on a global scale? or do we take the talebian skeptical empiricist route and focus on local exposure?
both seem a bit flaky outside of their domain, although the later seems far more robust
@cjd over the last few years I've found myself teetering about various states of conspiratorial thinking - there must be a method for decision making here and I'm not sure where to begin
@amerika I said working, not works

@jk I love going to a place with an absolutely stunning set of speakers, coming out of a world class amplifier and signal chain, and playing just absolute jank lo-fi mono garbage, while talking about the Air between the notes and The Imaging.
I used to work in a hifi shop, and I would insist that people listen to, like, Sun Ra's home tapes from the 60s, while just going on about the quality of the reproduction.
Somehow, this sold equipment.
> Who can force Ukraine to freeze the conflict? This is a war of all Ukrainians, and if someone in the world thinks that they can dictate to Ukraine the conditions under which it can or cannot defend itself, then they are seriously mistaken.

dark forces are aligning against you but it's cool because they are incompetent
bitching about your democracy means it's working
