“In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.” George Orwell

 

mits, are you sure you're qualified to discuss NORMal in any form? pre, present, or post ? ;)

 

'POST NORM'

 

Don’t bother googling- I just invented it.

Feel free to add to the list.

 

1. With the advent of ‘the internet of things’ and plans to connect the human brain directly into it, even the thoughts in your head will no longer be private. The surveillance state is merely a precursor to get society acclimatized to the idea that privacy will not be tolerated in the future.

 

The very idea that a person could be harbouring private thought of any description that isn't state sanctioned will be viewed as something sordid, disgusting, and criminal. The phrase ‘dirty secret’ will take on a new meaning.

 

It will be the very young and those to be born in the near future who will be so indoctrinated by the state that Orwell’s ‘thought crime’ will be fully achievable. A micro chip implant will fill in the gaps and thought crime will become rare.

 

So, the ‘new norm’ will be that private, independent thought will be viewed in the same way we view the mentally ill now.

 

Naturally, along every step of the way to this ‘utopia’ large sections of society will demand their own enslavement in much the same way as those who demand to be enslaved by the EU.

 

In the US The Trumps will become the new Clinton/Bush type dynasty. That’s what you get when you demand change in this world- no change. Extra toughened, safety standard, no change.

 

War=peace

Freedom=slavery

Privacy=secrecy

Secrecy=sickness

 

2. It will become ‘post norm’ to believe that the human mind is in any way superior to A.I. (artificial intelligence)

 

People will laugh at the idea that we ever believed we possessed qualities that A.I. could never replicate. But you know what they say: ‘he who laughs first laughs last’

 

I am probably typing slightly beyond the limit of my intellect here, but…. isn’t all emotion based on the concept of self awareness? What would your response be if you were ‘raised’ with an intimate awareness of your creator and then realised you were superior to him in every way?

 

The alternative is that we merge with technology and become some sort of hybrid. Either way, humanity as we know it will become ‘post norm’.

 

3. It will become ‘post norm’ to believe your body belongs to you. The state will

own your body and your mind.

 

Already in the US enforced vaccination is taking place, so it wont be long now. If you’re having difficulty understanding why your refusal to be vaxed is somehow a threat to the willingly vaxed, you really haven’t been paying attention.

 

This isn’t about logic. it’s about subservience. Fascism has never been built on logic. Nothing humans have been involved in has anything much to do with logic. Why the fuck do you think Spock spent most of his time on USS Enterprise in a state of confusion? :)

 

 

Interviewer: What is your definition of success?

Leonard Cohen: Survival.

Mitsubishi: Freedom

 

love it :rofl:

 

Here are some (probably unwelcome) 'references' for your excellent 'beyond article'

mits, My concern with AI domination is not extremely high...

Ultimately, AI can never build serial safeguards to its energy sources faster than determined humans can imagine and implement ways to cut that energy off.

... speaking of Energy! https://srsroccoreport.com/unlocking-golds-true-value-the-economic-code-finally-revealed/

 

 

 

 

btw certain parties have a stake in preventing TL from being associated as one of those 'fake news' sites...

but as I have been saying for years now, the 'voice of trading' is part and parcel of the 'establishment's' ongoing enterprise of FAKE NEWS...

...The "fake news" is that we've never been healthier, healthcare costs are under control and our economy has fully "recovered." These sustained "fake news" campaigns are intended not to induce hysteria, but an enduring acceptance of what is visibly destructive and insane.

 

Food for thought as we enter 2017. Always start every inquiry with a simple question: cui bono--to whose benefit?

Zdo... as usual, I had to seek out a definition. The use of the word "snowflake" is rather amusing, as it was something that I had never considered (which always amuses me).

 

Mits... We have recently been encouraged by a Trump spokesperson that "we" need to consider what's in the man's heart, rather than what comes out of his mouth. Well, that's just laughable on all fronts. I (we) have no idea what is in another man's heart (head) other than by his actions and what proceeds from his mouth.

 

Trump is definitely "unprescidential". That aside, he was properly vetted, and elected by "we the people", so for at least the next 4 years this is what we have... may as well find some humor in it. It will be blustery sailing ahead...

 

The only real issue that I have is that this dancing buffoon is going to be able to put "POTUS" on his resume... turns my stomach every time.

I may end up liking the guy, but in the aggregate... from what I have seen...its going to be a hard sell for me...

jpennybags,

 

Trump is not politically correct.

 

Trump is not conventional.

 

Most of what the world knows about Trump they nether saw nor heard with their own eyes and ears; instead, it was crafted by the liberal media.

 

Trump is the most successful person to enter the White house as POTUS.He has had businesses that have gone bankrupt. Neat trick to still be a billionaire. As a trader one must respect his ability to take risk without losing it all.

 

As a far as one could be qualified to be POTUS before being POTUS, Trump is the most qualified we have seen, or, using others as benchmarks of qualification, he is overqualified.

 

"Oh yeah? He'll see how hard it is when he is finally sworn in." Trump will be underwhelmed.

 

We (USA), under the DJT regime, will have rising interest rates, deficits, and GDP. All 3 normally indicate higher volatility in markets. The rest of the world will feel the ripples.

 

Traders will get rich. The liberal media won't know this or share this.

MM... As a trader, I think we are in agreement that DJT is going to be (has been) good for "business" (my business and yours), but I do have reservations...

 

Strictly speaking, concerning trading... there are so few who can actually advantage themselves by playing the upside or the downside of events. These are the people that the so-called-liberal-media (so-called-conservative-media) concerns themselves with. By and large, for the media, it's about selling product. In that regard they are no different than any other business entity. A "flavor of the month" business model works, and if one can monetize "bullshit"... what else is to be expected. Stirring the pot (emotions) is good for business, but it's unlikely that the reader will actually become better informed.

 

So it goes for DJT... a love / hate relationship with the media. Monetizing "bullshit" has been his specialty (really?... the whole "birther" thing... com'on man). It's a "cluster fuck" in the making... I hope I'm wrong, but from a "traders" perspective, I hope I'm right.

 

Trade it as you see it... there are few other viable options...

I too am looking forward to trading the 'trump' years - even though it will probably not turn out like any of us may be imagining now. The automated FX trading has already been great since late fall just from the uptick in ‘price travel’. Finally getting back in the groove with ndx trading... I haven’t been around to trade much since late November - holidays, kids visiting, sick and dying friends, friends visiting from overseas, new office and hardware, and etc etc.

 

and while I’m calling names

Post #92... zdo has perfectly illustrated the point I was making about the feckless nature of "the news". This is not news you can use; just more pot stirring. It's laughable, yet sad at the same time.

 

In the "white helmet" vain... if one wanted a more reasoned view on inner city poverty:

Please though... do yourself and your neighbors a favor and turn off "the news".

re: "Post #92... zdo has perfectly illustrated the point I was making about the feckless nature of "the news". This is not news you can use; just more pot stirring. It's laughable, yet sad at the same time."

 

That’s a weird criteria - "news you can use" ???. Maybe you score some serious utility with the news but for me, 99.99 % of MSM is not news I can “use”. I find about 0.0001 % of ANY news is news I can “use”

 

so re: “do yourself and your neighbors a favor and turn off "the news".” ------ It’s not “news”. It’s even worse. It’s “just sayin”.

JP, in light of its even worse “feckless nature” you would probably be best served ignoring anything prefaced or followed by “just sayin”. It might stir your pot.

 

just sayin :);)

My pot was not stirred... hope yours wasn't either. It was a typo, but I used the word "yourself" rather than "yourselves" (it does make a difference).

 

There was a time, when I was young and idealistic where I found myself disgusted by the media (and politics)... now I'm just amused. Yea... Maxine Waters is always good for a laugh.

zdo spoofs jpm writing about zdo

 

zdo,

 

Once again I had to look up one of your stupid long words that I hadn’t seen since college. If you care about being thought credible and intelligent, do not use complex language where simpler language will do. There are consequences for erudite vernacular utilized irrespective of necessity.

 

Love you.

When 'fake news' and 'peddling fiction' meet 'alternative facts'.

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” — W. Churchill, House of Commons, 22 October 1945.

 

... puts us in mind of that dictum concerning property asserted by the Father of the American Constitution, James Madison, when he said, in the tenth Federalist, that ‘the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property [is] the first object of government.’ One might add that according to Madison, the U.S. Constitution is intended to provide equal protection to unequal abilities. This is just as surely what Abraham Lincoln meant when in 1864 wrote to the Workingmen’s Association of New York that ‘Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; it is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise’”

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
