NASA headed towards giant golden asteroid that could make everyone on Earth a billionaire.

Silicon Valley as a whole is evidently pissed, says Tim Pool.*

Personally I wouldn't bother with a PP for that short of a time frame, I'd put it in Treasury bills or a CD or something like that. That's what I did when I was about to buy a house.

Peter Schiff only holds 6.25% gold? That's surprising.

I'm thinking about buying some silver so I don't feel like an impostor singing that Silver And Gold song from the Rudolph claymation.

I suspect he means he uses DDG to search for results that Google would filter out, IE the Brian Stelter meme: https://usbreakingnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Tater-Tot-1.jpg Incidentally, DDG and Google both returned pretty much the same results when I looked for that image. If you use Google ...

Female accuses Trump of sexually assaulting her in "the fall of 1995 or the spring of 1996" now that she has a book coming out.

That's pretty good. Except for Melania. Left leg looks weird. WNB.

Wow, Quicken doth say my gold ROI is > 0%. Physical gold, unfortunately, is still a bit underwater as some of the first ones I bought were for $1725/ounce. (Correction: Even my physical gold hit the break even point yesterday) Same here. Bought some gold back in 2012 for close to $1800, but overall...

I am a bit of a history buff and currently I am listening to a podcast on Byzantine history. Earlier this week the podcast was talking about an emperor who printed/pressed gold coins that were 1/16 less than the previous standard, called them a different name, and forced everyone to accept them at ...

Gold has gone up a bit since I last checked, solid. But I'm finding it more awesome that 'prairie dogging' is a technical analysis term, since I'm more familiar with it as poop humor.

I'd like to imagine that if Tulsi Gabbard or Andrew Yang get selected by the Democratic Party, it would be a close election, but Trump would blow out any of the wokies, like Logharra Harris or Chewie Booker. I'm not very confident on anyone being "blown out" by Trump. But that's just my q...

I'm in the "find what works for you" camp. You need to eat sufficient protein, essential fatty acids, and vitamins/minerals, but outside of that you can make up the rest of your food however you want.

In Meat: A Benign Extravagance, Simon Fairlie makes the point that some meat production is always going to be beneficial. First, because it closes some energy loops (especially pork), but also because meat provides a buffer for bad harvest years. Recommended reading. So if meat production is ruining...

I'm getting 10.24% as the YTD nominal returns using VTI, VGLT, VGSH, and IAU. The PP is due for a good year since the CAGR has been trending lower than the 3-4% real returns I expect from it. Medium Tex said he'd reevaluate the PP if it had a 3 year negative real return: The question that I can't an...

Joe Rogan Experience #1309 - Naval Ravikant

What an interesting dude.

I get where PS is coming from. Like a Stoic or Buddhist philosophy of not being too attached to your wealth, so just let it ride on 100% stocks and screw the risk. I obviously come at it from the other angle, why bet it all on one thing if you don't have to? I like the idea of stable, robust, genera...

Now we hear everything Mexico agreed to was already in negotiation and in the pipeline for a long while. Which makes the entire last week just a stunt. I just can't stop thinking... "he's trying to manufacture dips to buy". And doing very well. Well then Mexico could have implemented any ...

Finally found Beyond Burgers at the grocery today, and grilled a couple up for the GF and myself. They were delicious, albeit pricey at $12/lb. You can get locally pastured and slaughtered beef for much less than that around here. For me, the Beyond stuff is like cricket proteins. I'd give it a sho...

Kriegs, thanks for the link. I found this particularly fascinating: To escape from this political mess, I believe that psychologists must work with political scientists to identify changes that will indirectly undermine Manichaeism. I ran a 2007 conference at Princeton University that tried to do t...

1) More class-consciousness, generally. Knowing what your true risks and resources are as a worker and who your lot is in with vs who is most opposed to your economic interests. I'd say more "personal finance" consciousness. Nobody really has to be working class their whole life, even if ...
