1  Economy / Economics / Re: Warped perception of the economy on: Today at 02:23:21 PM
rich get richer.. poor get poorer in both economic directions

inflation:
properties and goods prices rise, and so rich peoples held assets increase in value
however poor peoples income vs spend value does not match so poor get poorer

recession:
property and assets decrease, rich people have opportunity to buy more assets cheap
however poor people get demoted/sacked so have to take lower paying labour roles making them poorer, so cant afford to buy assets

So are we going to see another new ATH for Bitcoin next week?
Bo Hines, the executive director of the US Treasury Department, has made an important announcement to establish Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. In light of which, the US government is supposed to initially deposit Bitcoins seized in the reserve fund. The announcement of the US government holding crypto as a strategic reserve may come next week.
Source: Ainvest.com



moving state held coins from enforcement actions, into a fed level bitcoin store is not going to shift the price.
however what is happening is american regulators coming up with new regulations on bitcoin legalities of use, store, trade for businesses wanting to enter the market. these regulations may pave way to create a FOMO effect,. more so than the gov just shifting coins between departments

^^^ But it really doesn't matter. After all, AI pictures can show anything they want. Trump's only safety is for him to set up a special 'computer force' that can cleverly twist any of the AI pictures that are against him, into AI pictures that express how innocent he is. The people are dumb enough to believe just about anything.

yep
there have been many pictures of trump snuggling up to epsteins "models" at his parties even as far back as the 1990's.. all trump needs to do is take them old pics, layer in a ai filtered face of himself ontop his younger self and then pretend that the picture was always AI... ... even back in the 1990's

oh wait, who'd beleive it.. well most americans would

im just surprised he didnt simply get his team to 'age-up' the models to look more like 30yo's as his innocence campaign

but we all know trump loved the ladies, loved hugging models, and loved doing a little more then hugging.. so i dont think a little AI manipulation will absolve him of everyone elses knowledge that trump went to epstein parties

isreal have 3000 years+ known occupation of "from the river to the sea".. yet, palestine had mistakenly been recognised by british memorandum for just 25 years of occupancy status of the land

Israel has 3000 years old history that started on 1948.

you have no clue.. look further back.. do some history lessons for your own benefit. palestinians did not have land rights for 3000 years.. they only had assertions for ~25 years. assertions based purely on british memorandum of recognition.., not the rest of the world

palestinians only rightful claim is of the area known as gaza.. not the whole "from the river to the sea" rhetoric

learn about the philistines and isrealites. awaken your mind beyond modern media studies.

Perhaps there's misunderstanding in definitions  Huh A rather very simple question for you: please define "proportionality of a response", and a "genocide". That is, what threshold must be crossed for you to say that the loss of innocent lives in Gaza would be considered a genocide? Or are you're claiming that there are no limits, numbers don't matter, and Israel can wipe out million of innocent women and children in Gaza and you would still consider it a proportional response as long as IDF draws a happy face and writes "only use on Hamas" on every bullet or some other justification?

Genocide is the intentional destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.
hamas are a extremist terror group not their own nation/race/ethnicity/religion.. so taking out hamas is not genocide

isreal is not trying to ethnically clense all palestinians. nor are the palestinians the intended targets. hamas are the targets. palestinians are the unintentional collateral damage due to how hamas control the area and people they dont want to leave the area(hamas use palestinians as human shields)

isreal is not trying to "wipe out millions of innocent women and children in Gaza" isreal continually give warnings to the innocent population that hamas have infiltrated their neighbourhood and turned it into a target zone and isreal give innocent people a warning to move out the area so isreal can deal with hamas..

hamas are the ones dictating that people should stay put and become human shields.
hamas wont even let some groups move out of temporary tents in winter to find more suitable shelter. yep hamas want people to freeze to death and not get aid

and with regards to aid, isreal are the ones trying to bring in aid supplies.. but its hamas that are using palestinians as cannon fodder by hamas dictating that innocent palestinians should blockade and ambush the supply trucks, and its then hamas that steal the food and hoard it. hamas rile up the innocent palestinians to turn them into rioters to cause conflict

hamas also use schools, churches and hospitals as their hiding places, hoping that the human shields of palestinians using that infrastructure would protect them from attack.. but when isreal send warnings that this area is now a warzone target and innocent people should move out the way, but again hamas dictate that innocent people should stay.. thus its hamas causing unneeded casualties/collateral damage

if hamas simply did not exist, palestinians and isreali's would have had peace deals done years ago

iran and hamas dont care about who they kill, especially when hamas are now even killing palestinians that are trying to get the food out of the hamas storage yards
iran dont hit only strategic military targets as a priority, they mass bomb random residential buildings with no political/intellectual/military personnel, thus no strategic purpose but to harm innocents

<justifying genocide>

I haven't heard a scarier justification than it's the other sides fault and they're leaving Israelis no choice but to massacre tens of thousands of innocent women, children and babies. At least lie and say that it's not happening at such scale, and that few kids that did die were from over eating ice cream or something. Your ridiculous attempts to justify such horrendous loss of innocent lives is actually making this exponentially worse for Israel side
Ask him about the genocide starting from 1940s when the Zionists first came to Palestine and began establishing their first terrorist cells in the country and started the occupation process until 1987 when HAMAS was first established.

gotta laugh at pooya and DaRule both saying im justifying genocide
its not isreal tht is shouting the desire to massacre an entire nation or race.. yet iran are.. so its pooya and his ilk that want complete obliteration of a entire race/religion/nation

isreals target is not to obliterate all palestinians. its to take out hamas (a terror group sponsored by iran with iraninan intentions)
heck even hamas are willing to kill palestinians. so hamas are not innocent of anything

isreal have offered multiple peace opportunities. isreal have sent in more food supplies than needed.. enough to cover until mid 2026.. and yet its not reaching the starving palestinians due to hamas controlling the hoarded supplies

isreal is not performing genocide. yet the iran regime wants genocide
iran/hamas mantra: "death to isreal, death to america" sounds like genocide to me. also instead of saying destruction of IDF the iran/hamas rhetoric is not limited to military or authority targets, they want the destruction to jewish and isreal targets aka "zionists", thus again proof of genocide



Oh I know, the al-Qaeda sympathizer Franky wants to convince everyone that everything started on October 7, 2023 when the Zionist occupiers took the biggest hit in 70+ years of their occupation of Palestine...

isreal have 3000 years+ known occupation of "from the river to the sea".. yet, palestine had mistakenly been recognised by british memorandum for just 25 years of occupancy status of the land

palestine(philistines) only have old history of the gaza area 2000+ years ago.. thus isreal has more provenance
even the persian empire does not have as much history as the isrealites

but its funny how pooya wants to forget and not want to look at the atrocities performed by hamas/iran on random innocents, where there was no military target in the area's hit by hamas/iran proxys, so hamas cant even say the innocents were just background collateral..
7  Other / Politics & Society / Re: July 24, 2024 shall henceforth be known as America's National Day of Shame on: July 11, 2025, 10:03:38 AM
How many innocent people have Hamas killed and how many innocent people have Israel killed since then? Look it up

hamas/iran deliberately target innocent people

isreal send warnings to give innocent people time to move out of war zones. but when palestinians are told to stay put and defend the land by hamas.. things get bad for those that remain
isreal target is the hamas extremists.. but in war especially in built up area's collateral damage can happen

its also worth noting that hamas rile up the palestinians and goad them into becoming cannon fodder
many investigations have revealed that hamas taunt innocent palestinians into provoking conflict. such as hamas stealing and hoard the food and greedflating by 3-15x the price and then saying that palestinians should blockade the supply routes of aid, and then ambush the aid trucks. which causes the aid workers and the security defending them to then have to act

its the same escalating situations as many developed countries riots.. 99% of population want to peacefully protest or queue peacefully to get the things they want. but the 1% stir the pot and turn peaceful people into rioters. and then suddenly 30% are not acting shitty all due to the 1% protagonists

many times aid stops arriving because aid trucks get attacked, journalists and aid workers stop coming due to security risks. (kidnappings/murder)
but when the aid does come through they try to send enough aid to last longer then the gaps in supplies. right now there is enough food supplies sent into gaza to last until well into 2026. yet its hoarded in hamas camps. and so yes isreal has to take out hamas. and yes hamas will use palestinians as human shields causing palestinians to get hit during the battle against hamas.. but hamas dont care about palestinians. hamas want palestinians to starve/get hit as its this starvation/death that gives hamas the tools and excuses to do their atrocities/propaganda by pretending they are there to help

as soon as hamas are no more, peace deals can be reached with palestinians including war reparations(compensations)

look at how demented and proud pooya is to see terrorists sink a cargo ship that was not even going towards isreal nor came from isreal. and yet was heading to somalia with no military involvement.. the houthis hit it and then kidnapped some of the crew whilst pretending to rescue them..


atleast in the isreal battles, isreal send warning first so innocent people can choose to flee or stay in warzone.
atleast in the isreal battles, isreals main targets are those of terror plots such as hamas and iran who want genocide

so what is houthis excuse to hit a cargo ship headed to somalia

religions are not a problem.. its the extremists that misinterpret/mis-use/abuse religious rhetoric.. or use religion as an excuse

if all the fighters admit they are fighters and not pretend that their 'god' made them do it. things could be more sane
these fighters think they are absolved of atrocities because they think they got a message from their god that their fight is righteous

iranians have NOT owned the land all the way to eastern egypt for 2500 year
no iranian alive today has experienced the persian empire ancient expanse...
but many extremist idiots still think they are fighting for an empire that expired over 2000 years ago

by iran funding many other (proxy) nations to try to re-take the lands is a stupid philosophy to push.
gaslighting these other proxy countries into doing their bidding by using religion, is what makes them go to extremes.

iran dont care if palestinians(innocent), hamas(extremists), yemani(innocent), houthi(extremists) people die. iran just want to pretend they own everything from iran to eqypt. and so are using other nations as their own cannon fodder on each other.. first they want them to take out isreal then each other.. until only iraninans are left in the region

iran dont just want isreal to be gone, but also want houthi and yemeni people to battle each other and oppose each other.
iran want hamas and palestinians to kill each other
iran use religion as the scapegoat because they dont want palestine and yemen to blame iran. so they use their 'allah' as the dictator of war.. even when the rest of the world knows the real dictator of war is iran

...
hopefully now that iran cant be a nuclear war power. and their ballistic stockpiles are depleted/destroyed. iran should back off, stop funding the other coutries and agree to peace. iran should learn to prosper within the iranian territory instead of trying to claim lands they thought they owned 2500 years ago

..
real history shows that isrealites existed way before the persian empires invasion of those lands
real history shows many other nations and empires had temporary control inbetween then and now.

what needs to be done is to actually for once settle the history and just let people live

to correct pooya's stupidity
(pooya is iraninan so trying too hard to push the propaganda of iraninan plans of isrealy destruction)

gaza is palestine. history shows the provenence of gaza as going as far back as when they were called philistines

there has been more then enough supplies sent into gaza. the reason it doesnt reach the peaceful palestinians is because HAMAS HOARD IT

isreal send warnings before attacking areas harbouring HAMAS.
its hamas that are causing alot of issues, they even set bombs and traps on civilian infrustructure and kill innocent palestinians themselves whom do not obey the hamas agenda

if palestinians rid their land(gaza) of hamas then there can be peace agreements in gaza

hamas are the ones that dont want palestinians to seek safety, hamas use innocent palestinians as human shields

however palestinians are starting to wake up to their real threat and starting to fight against hamas, not for them


ask yourself.. how many times has iran/hamas come to any true negotiation table wanting peace
vs
how many times has many countries offered iran hamas to come to peace negotiations

isreal and other countries even islamic countries have asked hamas/iran ..
hamas/iran have not been the ones seeking peace

Honestly, all of this makes me want to go back to that one scene I thought was finished and read it like I’m prepping it for an audience of ten strangers with no reason to lie to me. If it stumbles, I’d rather know now than after it’s in print.

choose a scene of interest and just record yourself narrating it. then watch/listen to it. see where it appears like you need to force yourself to emphasis things, where the word plainly spoken does not convey the importance of the story, but your brain knows its of importance. where you need to use your vocals to push the words further..(like a subtle nudge/wink to the audience that they need to be aware a detail) then adjust those words to be pushy by themselves by changing the words

reciting the story to yourself vocally not only prepares you for any speaking engagements but also lets you hear the story in a different format(instead of written paper) and allows you to hear if its even good enough for a audiobook.. because lets face it not many people have time to sit still and read, they prefer to listen to audiobooks while at the gym or work or doing home chores. so it can help prepare the story for audiobook format

if your book was to be made into audiobook format, and a publisher hired a narrator. your story should be readable that a narrater that does not have your vision in mind can see where the things of emphasis are, via the word play you use. so without pre-coaching a narrator about which parts to emphasis with vocal pitches/emotion/tone. try to use specific words that convey its importance to the story plot

14  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Co-operation- A way to advance industrial management on: July 06, 2025, 11:47:58 PM
Clearly your arguments simply outlines view of modern industrial capitalism and manager’s priorities, pointing out to labor and global supply movements, making it look as if somehow technology is way better than laborers.
Laborers are aware that in order to get paid they need to meet their targets through their performances. If they are not efficient they would be replaced asap. Speaking of technology on the other hand is impressive and brings great value when offered in industry but it has limits I must say, for a while now, Mosts progressive industries won’t be those that replaces humans, but certainly empower them, laborers bring creativity and ethics, these are things machines can’t do or replicate.
For an industry to succeed they need to be empowering laborers through meaningful work, fair treatment and collaboration alongside technology, certainly not by replacing them with it.

technology always replaces labour

17th century glass was handmade. metal work was man handled.  these days its industrialised via machines. the whole point of industrialisation is to scale up production. which labour force has a limit to its scaling in comparison to machinery

even the 19th century farming was mostly 'family farms' but now its just one guy mowing a field of wheat with one machine(harvester) where the field is the equivalent of 50 family farms. there was no way they could scale up 200 people(50 families) via labour, however the only way to scale up was machinery

check out modern retail. with self checkout and other tech replacing retail employees. even mcdonalds have their self order machines
banks are disappearing from mainstreets and replaced by ATM's and internet banking. there is only so much a human cashier can do which cant be replaced by machines

these days with so many humans wanting jobs but the jobs market drying up, labourers cannot really pressure bosses to give them worthy bonuses, or flexible hours, because these things cost the business money. and in the end the manager would just replace someone with someones else, younger and more naive and more pliable to just get on with the job in silence. meaning managers dont need to be amenable to their employees. everyone is replaceable these days, no one has job security anymore.
we are no longer in the 19th century where people have lifetime careers. the average:
born 1940-1960 average job longevity 10-15years
born 1960-1980 average job longevity 5-10years
born 1980-2000 average job longevity 3-5years

we are not entering an era where employment leans in favour of the labourer, but instead it leans in favour of the business efficiency/productivity/profitability. so pretending employers have to lose profits and time just to be amenable to temporary human labour will never happen. far easier to replace the employees not happy with the opportunity given

as for ethics.. many labourers are known to cut corners to save time, even if it means shoddy work, which is where accidents can happen or products can break hurting customers. then there are other labourers whom would fake productivity to hit targets they never really met, just to ge paid...
.. yet a machine just does what its programmed to do. and ethics can be programmed into a machine

where as employing more people and trying to get them to be super efficient to compete against a machine is where ethics can go wrong, employees get treated like slaves in sweatshops.. which again is where machines can replace labourers and reduce the unethical sweatshop industry


heck lets take bitcoin as an example
lets imagine bitcoin was invented 100 years ago, where mathematicians had to hand calculation block hashes..
do you think mathematicians would have good employment with coffee served at request, and masseuses on staff to massage their aching hands from all the writing.. no, course not
do you think today(2025) we would have billions of people employed handwriting bitcoin block hashes.. no..
it would still develop into cpu mining then gpu then fpga then asic mining

heck its not even 1 asic 1 human. these days its 30,000 asics per 5 people (mining farm operators)

he displays a chart of how many papers they published and a statement suggesting medical excellence since the 6th century.. yet the chart shows nearly ZERO papers from 1996

reality is greece and italy have had better medical advances in ancient history. its why most medical terms are latin/greek based language

yes iran are TRYING to BECOME scientifically viable, but they are not there yet. they are not the top science centre of the world

the world doesnt mind iran economically and educationally prospering.. but no nukes.. its that simple
even pooya has to admit the guy he quotes who was targetted was a nuclear physician, not a surgeon, not a biologist, not a mathematician, not a structural engineer, not a geography expert.. he was not even educated in iran. he went to russia to learn about nuclear science

so irans opposition were not trying to destroy all sciences/professions.. just nuke stuff

and the fact that targets in iran related to nuclear intelligence were not in their thousands/millions.. but in their dozens. which shows that education of nuclear sciences are not that big in iran

funny part is most of the worlds intellects actually end up seeking travel visa's to come to western countries to become educated

as for pretending to be advance.. did iran have their own iron dome.. nope
were their rockets iranian created.. nope

2. trump cant just deport someone, he needs to legally revoke citizenship and then also re-instate the citizenship of the persons native country meaning seeking the native countries willingness to take them back

The biggest cult in the world is the modern medical cult.

Back in the late 1970's, Orange County, CA, doctors went on strike for a month for more pay. There were 50% fewer deaths in Orange County that month.

two facts:
critical patients in the OC were redirected to other hospitals so other hospitals seen a rise in deaths because they were treating OC patients
also doctors with authorisation to certify deaths were on strike so the admin of reporting it was delayed

but with that said
doctors do go under certain training which is not in the benefit of patients but is in benefit of hospital profits and doctors bonuses
the biggest scheme of all is the back hand payments to certify people autistic or ADHD. people are unique with lots of mental ambiguities, however many are pigeon holed into either autistic or ADHD if they are acting odd compared to the norm.
its why people that develop fully on schizophrenia or other things are simply given labels like ADHD which is why you see less full on knutcases diagnosed properly and treated properly, because certain referrals to specialists dont earn a family doctor any bonus for said referrals and infact cost more, yet other simple diagnostic referrals do earn them bonuses, so you end up people wrongly diagnosed just to get a bonus
