Supposed bear & bull market etymology
“the terms may have originated in London in the early 1700s”
“they stemmed from a popular form of sport at the time, barbaric as it may be, in which people stood around a pit and watched dogs attack a chained bear or bull”
“bear’s method of fighting back would involve a swipe down with its paw”
“bull would use its horns to push up.”

tbf, the bull & bear etymology is either disputed, or an interesting case of linguistic convergent evolution

Out of all the Bitcoin CIA psyop theories,
Kinda feels like “the CIA made Bitcoin” is the biggest CIA psyop
Wouldn’t that be exactly what they’d want you to think, if it was something they couldn’t stop, to get you to stop using it?

Are memecoins inherently scams, because they’re: “without any material basis in commodities or productive activity”? Funny thing is that the midwit majority, who claims memecoins are inherently scams by definition — would never dare to share with us their…
Is Bitcoin inherently a scam, because it’s:
“without any material basis in commodities or productive activity”?
Refusing to believe that anything intangible, or not a product of a certain number of man-hours of labor, could have real value,
— A page right out of Marx’s manifesto.
Marx, like all influential and destructive wordcels,
chose the core beliefs for his movement quite wisely — exactly those beliefs that deep down the midwits already strongly believe.
The wordcels sure are skilled at tricking people to switch over to the commie side.
Trying so hard to avoid scams that you fall right into communism, the greatest scam ever created.

Some would say that “race isn’t real”,
I.e. that there’s no way you can show race is something real without cheating,
I.e., that there’s no unsupervised, from-scratch, from-first-principles way, that you could derive something closely aligning what we think of as “race” clustering boundaries.
— Well turns out that that’s dead wrong.
Easy to recover cluster boundaries / distances to cluster centers incredibly aligned with what we call “race” — in an entirely unsupervised and from-scratch way, essentially by classic dimension reduction, e.g. PCA, on raw genes data.
Serveral other from-scratch no-cheating approaches that also recover essentially identical race clusters from raw genes data.
And btw, belief that “nothing is real” and that “everything is a subjective invention of man” — is an extremely fundamental, left-wing belief.
E.g. the left’s 2+2=5 belief.
Race is a real, discovered thing, not a subjective invention of man.
