“Young, ambitious, and insecure” is the moniker for this show which…I’m not going to watch. This is a time waster for me, like most shows on TV these days.
The WSJ did a piece about it October 29, 2020.
“She’s very good and she’s meant to be in these rooms, but she comes from humble beginnings so there’s an imposter’s syndrome.” -Myhal’a Herold about her character Harper.
WSJ, John Jurgensen, Oct. 29th, 2020
One of the dumbshits who’ve made the show:
“The way my desk was structured, you could see your career progression across the room, the Vp on one end and the managing director on the other,” Mr. Downs said. “I left, but I think I would have been pushed…I was really, really not very good at it.”
WSJ
Good. Which qualifies you for nothing. And now you’ve made a movie. Which nobody’s gonna watch.
Meanwhile, I have a movie idea that’s 100% solid and has nothing to do with romanticizing banking careers.
Until Hollywood finally wakes up to making a good movie, I’m re-watching GoT and other movies worth watching.
HOTTEST MODELSWomen have the greatest power and hold the highest ranks in government and business, yet every day they cry how they’re being oppressed by the white male. They’re 60% of college graduates and the majority in the workforce, yet they say that’s not enough. It is never enough.
Give us the world, and we will call you our “equals”.
It is a misconception that Wall Street ranks are some tough guys living it large with high expense accounts and playboy habits. 90% of the people who work or have worked on Wall Street in the last decade or two are herbs with no balls and no life, computer geeks and run-of-the-mill VBA coders programmed to worship women like the rest of us. I know, I’ve worked with them. A waiter working at your average restaurant has more personality than them. They probably have only one girlfriend who has carefully screened their wallet and to whom they will get married to. They probably have a dog or two of those rat-like Scottish terriers or something. And they probably have a woman boss.
Women control the wealth of the world, not men.
From the boardroom to the bedroom, men dance on women puppet strings.
I was watching this Mexican comedian Franco Escamilla’s segment- “Ventajas de ser mujer” (Advantages of being a woman). He gets a lot of things right about the majority of herbs. He said that most women in that audience if they wanted to, could sleep with 85% of the men in there while the top men (say the top 10%) could only get it on with 15% of the women in there. Advantages of being a woman: multiple orgasms (lasting up to 30 secs)… while men snap and crack. We debunked that because there is a way to become multi-orgasmic in men, it takes some work, it takes focusing on yourself not on pleasing the woman, but it is doable. Franco is trapped in the Matrix like the rest of us herbs going along with the status quo of female empowerment and male dis-empowerment.
Ok, Max, I’m a herb, I have a girlfriend who is pleased with my bank account. This is who I am. It’s my generation. The generation of women worshipers. The generation that works for women bosses. This is what has worked for me. I don’t have any spare time, and in the free time that I have I take my girl on vacations so she can post her smiley photos on Instacrap for claps.
That’s love in the age of Corona. Or Cholera, whatever.
Frankly, I understand. If you don’t go with the program, they’ll spit you out. The Matrix doesn’t take any prisoners. You’re easily replaceable. You have to live in a female-dominated world. You are one and they are hundreds of millions, billions of tiny little packed bits of the Matrix. You’re living in the Matrix.
Ok, now that we know we are not referring to the novel Covid-19 virus, but to the female-centric society, you should acknowledge, and be proud of your dependency to women’s greatness. Bow to the magical feminine power.
Herb lines
“I am a feminist.”
If you tell that to a girl you met, you’ve set the record straight. You don’t wanna be second-guessed.
“I practice social-distancing.”
I heard that phase as a recommendation to preventing this virus, but I would extend it and use it as a valid introduction in any social interactions, way after the Coronavirus epidemic stops being an issue.
When you see some girls talking and giggling among themselves, go up to them and say:
“What are you guys talking about ? Is it Beyonce ? Tell me it is about Beyonce.”
I once started talking to a girl and told her: ” I vote to make prostitution legal.” She wasn’t too happy to hear that one out, so I explained myself: “With prostitution legal, there’ll be fewer abortions. Life begins in the fetus.” She left with a headache.
Another herb line: “If an orgasm falls onto deaf ears, is it still happening ?”
And another one: “I feed my (female) dog vegetable chicken breasts. What do you guys think, will she be growing breasts ?
If you have a male dog, ask the girl:
“My dog is only humping other male dogs in the park. Do you think he is gay ?” If she says “Probably” say, “So happy !”
When you introduce yourself, sometimes it pays to just introduce yourself by the Zodiac sign. Say: “I’m a Sagittarius.”
Consider wearing a white suit when you go to a club. You’ll stand out. If they ask about it, just say : “White Party.”

Put it into a more academic fashion, the Wikipedia entry:
“The Texas sharpshooter fallacy is an informal fallacy which is committed when differences in data are ignored, but similarities are overemphasized. From this reasoning, a false conclusion is inferred.”
Barbara Connors, an author and poker player, explains its origin in her article since this fallacy is a a sin among those of us who are poker players.
” Picture a man, sitting on a hillside. He has a gun and he’s firing random shots at the side of a barn some yards away. Before long, the wall of the barn will be riddled with bullet holes. Despite the randomness of the shooter’s aim, the holes will be unevenly distributed. Inevitably, there will be gaps and clusters. If he wants, the shooter can walk up to the barn and paint a circle around the biggest cluster of bullet holes. To the casual observer, it will now appear that the man is a terrific sharpshooter. ”
Barbara Connors
But this mistake is common outside of the world of poker as well. In fact, it is one one the pillars of support leaders and CEOs rely upon. What you don’t know will hurt you. Leadership relies on so many things, Texas sharpshooter fallacy is one of them. (the other name for this fallacy is the clustering illusion)
While researching the subject I came across a resource book by Dr. Bo Bennett, Logically Fallacious: The Ultimate Collection of Over 300 Logical Fallacies, which I plan on reading.
Leaders, influencers, CEOs and bosses have been baking hot potatoes out of mushed leftover flakes for as long as I can remember.
I’d like to introduce you today to Free Resources for the Free Mind recommendations, where the recommendations come from the readers…for the readers.
This week, reader Hank recommends a free course from IAI TV
Why The World Does Not Exist
by professor Markus Gabriel
About the course: “Can reality be described by a single theory? Does our failure to find a theory of everything expose the limits of knowledge, or might the world not exist at all? With philosopher Markus Gabriel. (Markus Gabriel specializes in epistemology and Post-Kantian Idealsim. He is the Chair for Epistemology, Modern and Contemporary Philosophy and Director of the International Center for Philosophy at the University of Bonn. He is also a visiting professor at UC Berkley and a Senior Fellow at the Freiburg Institute of Advanced Study.)
He is the author of several books, including Fields of Sense: A New Realist Ontology, Why The World Does Not Exist, and Mythology, Madness and Laughter: Subjectivity in German Idealism, co-authored with Slavoj Žižek.”
Note: I have no affiliation with the course, its author or platform, and only display it as a free resource recommendation from the reader.

That’s the question that will come up today, Monday at every water-cooler break. At the office. With GoT fans.
After watching Episode 5 of the last series of GoT, many Starbucks coffee cups holders came unhappy with their lady. The reason: The Mother of Dragons burned down the city state (or kingdom, what ever), even after they rang the bells (ringing the bells was supposed to signal surrender). A lot of destruction and carnage ensued since Danaerys continued to burn the city down.
I am not here to give anyone a blowjob. Or a dopamine hit.
I am here to give you the 10,000 feet perspective.
Danaerys is tough, and it appears the numbskulls (who make up 99% of the population) don’t really like that. It shows in their disapproval.
“She killed Varys as much as I did.” -Danaerys speaking of her execution of her advisor, Varys.
We need to see that Kingdom, King’s Landing, was led by fear (by Cersei). They weren’t used to anything else. When destruction came…how can rebirth come if not after the destruction of the old ? What rule were they expecting if not the rule of fear, the rule of the land ?
In other news, I have been repeatedly asked to post something like “Cool things of the Week/Month”. People have asked for a column like that. I am considering doing it. Meanwhile, we can start of this week with the Lumipod. The Lumipod came to me via The Manual.
“
“Built within a circular steel structure with a diameter of almost 18 feet and a ceiling height of over seven feet, the LumiPod is a spacious, but compact bedroom suite perfect for dispersed hotels, estate follies, or modern backyard guests accommodations, but really, the uses are as varied as your imaginings.
The best part of the LumiPod isn’t its sleek shape or its carefully considered interior, it’s the massive, curved sliding wall that can be retracted so the main part of the LumiPod blends seamlessly with nature, making it truly an indoor-outdoor living space.” -The Manual
Website: Lumi-pod.
How cool is that ?
I am not going to do my sermon today. I will let the characters from Game of Thrones speak for me. Season 8 Ep. 4. The one numbskulls decried (because they drink too much Starbucks). Did any of them shitheads “experts” in redpill theory ever went hungry for one day ? Can they even go for a week, no, not a week, for 48 hours, can they make it without their phones ? (Our phones, btw, should be called dumbphones, not smartphones, because they make people dumber).
Here are three exchanges from Episode 4 (May 5th). Those are from Daenerys (the first one) and Tyrion, the little dude: Note: if the exchanges are not the exact quotes, please forgive me. They are as close as I remembered.
“I’m here to free the world from tyrants. That is my destiny.”
“What is the realm ? A vast continent filled with millions of people. Most of whom don’t care who sits on the Iron Throne.” -Tyrion
“I know you don’t care about your people. Why should you ? They hate you and you hate them” –
Tyrion to my girlfriend Cersei
Leadership.
The essence of leadership. From GoT.
The second quote should be placed in context. It was part of the exchange Tyrion Lannister, adviser to the Queen Daenerys Stormborn has with her other adviser, the eunuch. The eunuch, Varys, argues that Jon Snow would make a better leader for the people (he is to a point)…
Tyrion was drinking a lot. I’m sure, good wine. But he didn’t have the music that we have. So we’re playing a second classic tonight. Tyrion hasn’t made the rounds of Miami Beach’s best nightclubs like we had.
Nobody can be an agent for the *world*. It’s a construct of the mind, that both Varys and Danaerys (naturally) fall for. Ain’t falling for that.
Do you think *leaders* don’t know about those quotes, especially number two and three ?
I am a real leader (of Miami’s nightclub scene).
P.S. Can you believe it that Ultra has left Miami, and this was its last year ? I feel like we lost a dragon.
In this video, we see Tony Robbins trying to make sense of a woman who indulges in the victimhood play of the metoo movement. She takes offense in Tony’s advice which was not to use the sexual harassment tag to make yourself “significant” [At the end she’s acknowledging that she’s misunderstood him.] Tony tries to reason with the woman. I am playing the full video here, background amateur phone shot (I don’t know for how long this video is going to be up, so you better hurry). A short version, which is less than 1:45 minutes long, viewed 1.9 million times, has been carefully cut with text/titles to show indifference, even hostility (?) on the part of Tony.
Note that Tony is not debating the movement, nor is he in any way dismissing the claims those women (might) have. On the contrary, he gives them legitimacy and respect. He says that, however, “you don’t grow” if you use use anger. “Anger is not empowerment. Don’t “use the the metoo movement to try to get significance by making somebody else wrong. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It just won’t make you happy.”
Tony Robbins is making a stage demonstration.
Robbins instructs the woman to put out her fist and starts walking against her. Why ?
As she is pushing back, he tries to make her realize something: **that more pushback is NOT helping her**.
Did she understand it ?
Quote of the day: “You are either a victim of circumstance or you’re the creator of circumstances. There are no other options.” -Unknown
Robbins: “You’re telling me that the more I push, the more I am going to be safe ?” **obviously rhetoric**
A retard would understand the meaning of the fist-against-hand movement across the floor, except there are some people who evidently refuse it. Empowerment for her comes from her position, which she is not willing to change.
Robbins goes on and uses another analogy, that of technology. “Did that help you get less stress ? How many have less stress than before ? There are patterns that make you angry. There are patterns that make you sad. Choose your patterns wisely. Otherwise you’ll let the culture chose it for you. You wanna use things in a way that doesn’t addict you to your problems. If you get in a pattern of victimization, who is it going to hurt ?”**words of wisdom from a wise man**
“I’m not going to be inauthentic and say I’m sorry about something I’m not sorry about.”
Tony Robbins has empowered me.
However,
There are people who don’t want to better themselves.
There are some who operate out of the victim mentality.
There are people who do not want to be helped.
Do not be one of them.
