 We should thank the Doomers for building this wall of worry for us to climb.

 It’s been a tough few months, especially with gold reaching all time highs on a daily basis. 
 I appreciate this perspective. Thank you!

 I work for an ultra woke company, but my job is too good to leave. I think that makes me a hypocrite and part of the problem 😞 
 A transformative book in my life. However, Rand’s treatise on original sin gives me pause.

 Low T men also have political signs in their yard instead of a nice lawn. 
 So do low t hippies 
 Maybe I’m just an old man, but I haven’t lost the gift of observation… 
 Fair enough. 

I’m not arguing for the virtues of lawn care; however, I have observed the following qualities, in my neighborhood at least, of the few home owners that have nice lawns:

- They are conscientious 

- They show pride of ownership 

- They are competent 

- They are not concerned with virtue signaling 

Perhaps this doesn’t meet the bio hacker criteria for achieving high T levels, but these are masculine qualities nonetheless.

 My pickup is an 02 GMC Sonoma. Only 70k miles!

 Thank you! 

More and more of the conversations I’m having are debates about “inevitable” extreme outcomes. Few are considering just plain old (boring) normalization. 

I think this will be a slow burn, rather than an explosion.

 The fact that most of us don’t believe it, leads me to believe that it’s true.

 When’s your next interview Doc? 
 I feel like there are two types of people - those who understand the repo market and those who don’t. 

Despite my efforts, I am the latter. 
 I’m anticipating your interpretation of today’s events with great interest.

 Wonderful list 
 You have identified a waypoint in the airway structure. Super heated compressed air condenses when it exits the combustion chamber if there is sufficient moisture in the air. 

As Bitcoiners, we cannot latch on to these types of narratives, we’ll loose credibility.

 Perhaps we just needed to price in 25bps and a Harris presidency to shake out the remaining sellers.

 Indeed! Unfettered access to the great theologians, pastors, and apologists of our time. We have no excuse.

 Wow! This is the most import question a person can ask. First of all, the Christian response should focus on the work of the Holy Spirit, which appears to be at work on you already 😊. 

I think the writings of C.S. Lewis are helpful for those in a position like yours (Miracles and/or Mere Christianity perhaps).

God speed!
