PPV CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST

He posts stupid topics (see OP) that people then mock until he closes the thread and creates a new account. It's not "cold logic" that's the problem, it's Atlas' perennial inability to actually argue anything. There's no logic there, just a kind of crazy self-formed dogma that he based on a few books and a complete lack of understanding of the real world.

He posts about how happy he is about who he is and what he does...then deletes his account and creates a new one, refuses to admit that he's ripped people off, etc. His actions do not match his words.

Don't get me wrong, MNW is an obsessive weirdo who taunts and stalks Atlas for attention, but Atlas is still a comically inept child who no one should be taking seriously.

PinkiePie was a better troll. Oh, PinkiePie.

I'm not judging you. All I'm saying is that the OP screamed "manic episode!" at me.

Serious question, not a troll. Atlas: have you ever spoken to a professional about your moods? You seem to veer from depression to delusions of grandeur on a regular basis.

I do not mean to diagnose someone over the internet but that reeks of bipolar disorder to me and if true you'd be far happier without the destructive highs and debilitating lows of BD.

OWS are protesting against:
1. Income disparity. Wages have been stagnant for decades. Productivity has risen but the benefits are all going to the top 1% who have had a 300% increase in pay.
2. Tax disparity. See: Warren Buffett.
3. The GFC. Banks gave out stupid loans, sold those loans to 401(k) funds, bet against them, and then took money from the government. The bankers made bank but everyone else got fucked by a trifecta: 401(k)s tanked, shitty economy, and an increased future tax burden.
4. Wealth disparity. See #1. Worse, since no one in the middle or working class has money, the economy is shit because no one can buy anything. Meanwhile the rich are investing but the consumer economy - the driving force behind the US - is weak.
5. Education. You'll find this one out in a few years. The minimum wage has DECREASED but education costs have increased at double the rate of inflation. Remember how people would "work their way through school?" Students cannot pay for school while they study any more. Worse, students loans are enforced by the federal government and not discharged by bankruptcy. Get $70k in debt from a school, find a $30k/year job, eat ramen every night for 20 years. If you can find a job that is! See: http://consumerist.com/studentloanscheme2.jpg
6. "Job creators." There's a lot of bullshit spouted about these mythical people and how we should cut their taxes...except taxes are LOW and there are no jobs. So we need to cut them more! (If we're crazy.)

The "1%" is shorthand for all that.

Why are they so pissed? Why are they occupying cities and will stay even through NYC's harsh winter? Because their votes mean nothing: Obama was a fraud who supports the banks and the only senator who is saying a damn thing about the situation is Bernie Sanders. One guy in 535.

Incidentally, how many "technicians" or scientists are in the top 1%? Exactly none.


PS I love the phrase "a farce of crocodile tears and envy." How can something so original sound so hackneyed? Are all of your posts constructed using Markov chains and romance novels?

It's like seeing a piano student try to play like Rachmaninov: he hits most of the right notes but the rhythm is completely off and it all sounds stilted and broken.

Atlas, you do not sound intelligent when you write like this. Your sentences don't flow at all and most of the longer words that you use don't quite mean what you think that they do. Your grammar and syntax are "good" in that they follow grammatical rules in a mechanical sense but none of it strings together well; a copy-editor would slap the shit out of you. Worse, when you write this sort of confused paragraph on how great you are and how humility is for those who lack confidence, you merely come across as immature and/or stupid.

Oh, and saying that you're not "insecure" is just silly: you've created a dozen accounts to hide your mistakes and you've threatened suicide on these forums. If you were truly secure in who you are, you'd make a mistake and be able to learn from it and walk on with your head held high instead of hiding it poorly behind a new persona that any idiot could spot because your writing style is so obvious. If you were able and experienced enough to be that secure then you wouldn't do/say any of the things that you have been.

You're a kid, be a kid. Step away from the computer, have fun with your youth, accept that you can be a dumbfuck sometimes (because, like all 17yos, you are), and stop trying to be a pompous adult.

What? Don't try to stop them - this shit is funny!

On the one hand we have a 17yo who makes up with thesaurus time what he lacks in ethics, and who suffers delusions of competence. On the other we have a middle-aged nobody who lies about his "career" as a Korean educator/crime-fighter, who is obsessed with said 17yo, and who - while running his own scam business - endlessly screeches about Atlas' fraud. I don't know which is funnier.

I suppose that at least there's a chance that Atlas will one day grow out of it; the same cannot be said of Mr. Wright.

Also, the average bitcoin devotee is typically more gullible about BTC than most people are with cash.

Possible other clues you missed: it was glaringly obvious that it was a joke.

FYI things like this make you sound like a bombastic teenager.

Actually, it's not even your English that's the problem. It's your insane, misguided politics/philosophy/economic theory that you really need to fix.

"future posterity" = I just found a thesaurus.
"graciously accept" = clumsy and doesn't quite mean what you think it means. Perhaps you mean gracefully? Gratefully? Other people may view you as gracious but you cannot declare yourself such.

"I take it in pride." Stride
"Go ahead, hang your head down and cry in shame when you are defeated if that what life is to you; mere suffering." This sentence is contorted.
"I will retain my happiness and continue trying to achieve it to greater heights." Ditto.
Provisioning makes no sense in that context.

Tht is NOT evidence of a link. I have nothing to do with PinkiePie. Nver met her.

I'll give you SIX CATTES and an empty bottle of Miller Lite.

This made me unironically LOL in real life. Seriously dude, you write like what you are: a 17yo with no life experience, no real education, and all the verbose pomposity in the world.

Dude! I would totally watch this!

I can hold it for you. $5/month for the service and I'll take great pains to look after it - Mybitcoin was an inspiration to me!

Geeks don't go to bars.
Libertarians don't go to bars with other people because they're goddamn insufferable.

Not a big market.

Next what?

So what is the advantage to using this over Visa/MC? No chargebacks?
