It's not likely that Trump didn't know Iran would disrupt oil production, extremely improbable. I would say it's part of a plan.
North American shale, both oil and gas, have underperformed expectations for decades. Could the plan to attack Iran be in line with sabotaging EU-Russian relations and sabotaging Nordstream?

I recommend you read The Will to Power by Nietsche, to get a better grasp on what concepts like good and bad and luck represent.
It will be easier to read it from a outspoken nihilist like Nietsche since you don't like what you call new ageism.
You are responsible for your own feelings in this existence, but that doesn't mean you are alone in what you experience. You don't know how bad someone else had it so it's no use to compare. The nature of the lesson is universal.

You mistake the physical for absolute reality; probably because it is impressively congruent, so you think of course materialism must be more real, but it is a mere construct. You have no proof, but you treat it as if you do. Embrace the uncertainty to end your ideological state.

Trauma is to identify with what is done to you, it is suffering. Pain is inevitable, suffering is not. To turn reaction from trauma into response is the process of letting go. Yes you can do that, unless you are stuck and clinging. It is simple and universal, but very hard and yes it takes time.

It's merely an umbrella term for the metaphysical inheritance we share, call it trauma, ideology, conditioning, collective constructs, consensus of ideas, it doesn't matter. It is of this plane of existence and we must let it go.
It is all so overwhelmingly congruent that we perceive it as matter of fact, but there is no other, so there is no guilt, and the trauma is a filter without which we can do.

2026-03-03 10:07:48 UTC

The point of this life is to learn to let go of Earthbound concepts, mainly of the other and of guilt. This lesson is simple and universal, but extremely difficult to integrate.
I've read all of the greats and more, they all taught the same lesson, but they all recognized the difficulty of the path itself.
Knowledge ≠ consciousness

It's merely a plausibility, a paradigm, but fascinating. The paradigm balances in the present as choices are made that influence both future and past, making the past probabilistic just as the future. In every frame of the present you hold a coherent retention of the past belonging to that moment. This makes the experience seem congruent, in ratio, in perceived input. But it doesn't need to be.
The assumption here is that all input is perceived vibrations, not just classic senses but also memory and consciousness. Perceived input is read in the human interface, and response feels causal and congruent as described in analytical idealism.
Inspiration for this was a mnemonic ability I encountered on acid, and the writings of Bernardo Kastrup.

What we call the present is all possible quantum fields of both past and future collapsed into one. You are here, now.
The future holds all possible, but so does the past. The present is not part of time. Projection is time, through imagination, or what we call memory. We can recall the future just as well as the past, except that we only remember a fixed past because this is how it collapses in the present. You don't know the difference because you remember it only one way.

Technological advancement is extremely hard to halt over the long run, because knowledge builds cumulatively and diffuses across societies. As technologies mature, the marginal cost of reproducing information, designs, and even many physical goods tends to decline toward zero, driving continued innovation and adoption.

There are four types of people when it comes to making money:
1. Those who are not yet earning — unemployed or dependent on others.
2. Those who work for others — earning wages by building someone else’s vision.
3. Those who own competitive businesses — earning marginal profits in crowded markets.
4. Those who own innovative or dominant businesses — earning high profits in markets with little or no competition.

Keep $40k in a separate account so you can pay the interest for 8 years. (8y X 5% X 100k = 40k 🐒)
Buy #Bitcoin for the remaining $60k

In a fiat world, ideology is dominant over epistemology.
#Bitcoin fixes this

2025-11-20 22:36:48 UTC

Everyone with half a mind started shorting dollars at a certain point, whatever the asset or commodity of choice. First principle: every unit in a credit system is credit owed to someone. Which means that every unit is owed with interest, which means the interest needs to be newly introduced into the system to maintain the debt.
Interest is the natural growth rate of fiat. The extra money to pay the interest does not exist yet → it must be created by someone else taking on new debt. This is exponential decay, it is exponential because a percentage, no matter what the percentage is, is added every year to service the debt.
This exponential property of fiat is mathematically absolute, totally glossed over by most economists, and only requires you to buy some #bitcoin in case it catches on.

Belief is a construct to fullfill the expectations of the masses, because they expect to find certainty in their lives. The uncomfortable nature of our existence is that there is no certainty, only if/then relationships. Ideology is there to cloud your mind with fixed ideas of that which you'll never know with any certainty. You can have faith that the most plausible or the most desirable is your actual reality, but as soon as you start to believe you cloud your mind with fixations that block you from observation. Your epistemic ability will be compromised and your cognitive model will be filled with binary absolutes. This creates opposition in people, opposition towards eachother, opposition is quite literally the opposite of the most plausible model of reality: holism.
