Syding’s latest newsletter post, How the World Work, is very rich in theosophical and existential treaties. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Obviously, I can’t reproduce it here, but he’s keen on *meetings* being the core of everything and consciousness, not matter or time, is what defines existence. [I spoke about the non-existence of time already back in 2019]. Karl-Mikhael Syding ends up signing his newsletter with the title “Aspiring Sheng-Jen”. According to the Oxford dictionary, a Sheng Jen is in China, one who hears the way of Heaven (Tʾien) and develops understanding, often translated as ‘sage’. Sheng-jen is therefore the ideal wise person who penetrates the hidden meaning of all things and lives accordingly.”
This year, I brought to your attention the Indian mystic Sadhguru . I hope you’ve read my book review of his latest book weeks earlier, and that contemporary mystic Sadhguru has inspired you.
In the beginning was a field…Syding says. Not the Big Bang. What happens is human mind can only perceive snapshots, beginnings and ends, labels. These are our limitations. Past, future. Snapshots of the human mind.
I see this “field” as emanating from the present. The future is made now…and so is the past. Poor human snapshots of reality the mind of the common folk is unable to grasp. The Universe is marching towards its end as well as towards its “beginning” concurrently, because there is no “beginning” or “end” to begin with.

DATE: April 16, 2022Dear Applicant,
You got a lot of “yes” votes, so we are delighted to initiate our community-stakeholder interview.
Could you come by Bubble HQ tomorrow and give a thirty-minute ted-style talk to an auditorium of six hundred employees, followed by a Q. & A.? Think of it as one very big interview where everyone can see what you bring to the table!
Your topic is “The Future of U.I.”
P.S. The tone of the talk should be jovial, with some great zingers.

The never ending steps (streams ?) of interviews. What happened with the two interviews (or three, max.) you used to have ?

The post Ex-pimp’s advice first appeared on Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©.]]>“When [singer] Jewel and her employees walked into [Hsieh’s Park City] mansion, the house was dirty, with hundreds of candles dripping wax onto furniture, carpet and countertops. His dog left droppings on the floor.
Signs instructed visitors not to clean up the trash, particularly outside of Mr. Hsieh’s bedroom. At one point, Mr. Hsieh had told a visitor to teach the world not to produce so much trash, it was better not to trow trash away at all. Showers and sinks ran constantly, unattended; Mr. Hsieh and his entourage were trying to mimic the sounds of waterfalls.
The house couldn’t be cleaned because it was “nature”.
WSJ
I’ll leave you to read the rest. While Hsieh’s passing is regrettable, it is a stark warning of the world of disjointed, dysfunctional people at the top of economic elites.

The post Under attack by haters first appeared on Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©.]]>“Nietzsche is an incredibly important and deeply misunderstood philosopher. He’s the bridge between many things that came before him — beyond just philosophy — and many things that have come after him. Rather than state the answer, he provokes and encourages deep thought. In some ways, he’s the perfect philosophical mentor for an entrepreneur since you can apply his quotes in many different ways.”
We will be discussing this book as soon as we have a chance of reading it.
However, I suggest everyone to read Nietzsche first.

Who are the “messiahs” of momentum ? You know, the usuals, Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, SPAC King Chamath. Also you got rappers like Snoop Dog. These are people with a huge social media following.
Chamath pumped up $GME crazy last month.
“At 10:32 AM EST on Jan. 26, Mr. Palihapitiya tweeted that he has bought call options on GameStop adding: “Let’s gooooooo!!!!!!!” By the end of the next minute, GameStop’s price had jumped 9.6% as trading volume quadrupled, with nearly 10,200 lots of 100 or fewer shares changing hands, according to a WSJ analysis of market data from DTN.
At 4:08 EST the same day, Mr. Musk tweeted :Gamestonk!!. More than a quarter-million shares traded immediately and, by the time 10 more minutes had elapsed, GameStop had shot up 31%. The shares, at roughly $144 before Mr. Musk’s tweet, surged to nearly $348 the next day, then fell to about $50 by this [last week], this week closed at $40
On Feb. 3rd, Mr. Cuban tweeted “If I had to choose between buying a lottery ticket and #Dogecoin,…I would buy #Dogecoin.” Over the next 12 hours, the digital currency shot up roughly 50%.”
WSJ
This is price manipulation, whether Musk had any positions in GameStop or not. Of course, these billionaire “influencers” can say they did not tell anyone to buy anything. Nevertheless, they moved the markets. Whoever got in and out fast enough made a lot of money. Whomever stuck around[assuming they bough on the momentum Musk or Palihapitiya created], lost.
The point is, these billionaires are playing roulette with people’s money, via social media. They are making a market, out of shit, literally. [Dogecoin has gained more than 1,300% in 2021, even though it was conceived as a joke and has no practical use -WSJ].
Never trust a rich man. Especially with your money.
Maybe someone at the Securities and Exchange Commission will read my article (it’s not the only one I wrote on this bullshit). Maybe not. The Twitterati [I use that word to mean the Twitter elite] with millions of followers will continue to peddle their wares. But you need to understand these people are only interested in laying more money into their already full pockets. Their insidious intent is to stir up interest, reap the froth and leave behind a lot of dung.
Until next time,

Have you been enjoying Power, the Starz series ? I know I have [catching up here…]
“Not to know one’s true identity is to be a mad, disensouled thing — a golem. And, indeed, this image, sickeningly Orwellian, applies to the mass of human beings now living in the high-tech industrial democracies. Their authenticity lies in their ability to obey and follow mass style changes that are conveyed through the media. Immersed in junk food, trash media, and crypto-fascist politics, they are condemned to toxic lives of low awareness. Sedated by the prescript-ed daily television fix, they are a living dead, lost to all but the act of consuming.”

The Acquire’s Multiple recently listed 50 of the best investing podcasts in the world . Lot’s of good stuff in there:
…etc.
Since the pandemic begun many trends have arisen in the business world…there are so many I don’t make them my subjects. Somebody could write an academic paper on why Tesla is the craziest stock ever…as of today Elon Musk is the 4th richest person in the world
Another interesting subject are gym-equipment manufacturers. Since a lot of fitness clubs have been closed, one could assume they’re doing poorly, yet they are not. Fitness-equipment makers are following the trend of gyms slowly transitioning to at-home gyms. Take the case of Nautilus, which made the subject of a WSJ article last week:
“Net sales rose by 94% YOY and the company entered the third quarter with a big backlog. Hot items such as the company’s Bowlex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells are in such high demand that they are sold out and used ones are on sale for around double what brand-new ones cost earlier this year.”

So hey, while you may or may not have any money in crazy stocks like Tesla, make sure you don’t have any money in the depreciating assets known as women. My guide to your women life is second to none.
This meme is making the Internet happy today.
For you youngest readers, interns are in high demand.
