But at the same time, others in Bradley's state were making huge money on this illicit form of gambling. Seaso...

    As usual, when you delve into something it matters. I watched your interview entitled "The Real Reason Trump Has Appeal" and found it particularly revelatory, especially about the rise of socially disconnected people able to exploit computer and communication technology, despite and because of their social isolation. You see things in people. I look forward to seeing your observations on sports gambling.

    This is unbelievable. I guess they didn't realize there's an entire business entity called revenue cycle that does this. The professional discipline is called health informatics. No really. It's a thing. A big thing. Did they talk to anyone in healthcare besides this lady in this one badly managed medical practice who sounds like she basically trained herself? You should do another show on why people reinvent the wheel when the wheel is right next to them.

    Now I am terrible at math, finance and everything in between. But it does not make sense to take out a loan to invest it in something as unpredictable as crypto. And why yes, Discover and Chase are both multi billion dollar companies, of COURSE they will want their money back? Did he think they would be like womp womp and move on ? If they did everyone would take out a loan and not pay it back…. I feel bad but jesus christ man.

    SBF literally stole investors money out of their personal accounts and gave much of it to political causes. He was one of Biden’s largest contributors in the 2020 election. Mmmmm I wonder why there is only a tiny fraction of the villianization from the media that Madoff got. Haven’t heard of anyone returning the stolen money from any of the political causes he donated to either.

    Every body has "the Universe inside", instantaneous reference-framing of Conscience distilled from memory associations. Gothic is derived from God Thick, an overdose of book-learning instructions. Of note is that replacement of Egyptian learning by doing experience of not doing bad things in the sense of Gold-Silver Rule sense-in-common cause-effect, and the sum-of-all-histories Confession at the "end of days" for the experiencer with "legal instructions" of Ten Commandments devious people love to defy. How does a "Confessional" operate if the Confessor has fore-given themselves because of displaced responsibility to a Commercial representative of Conscience. This is half-truth happening, "I am you and you are me and we are all together" is true, but unless the representative of Conscience actually repairs any perceived damage caused by what was carelessly given, plus or minus, in connection with Gold-Silver innate responsibility of,by, for people, in default social responsibility for participation in their.., mathematically-legitimate, and therby perceived economically complex values-> legal authentication, metastable proportioning probability exchanges.., community. The search for bio-logical stability connection continues.

    On theme, Professor Bill Black called Looting the financial system "Control Fraud", and if you have been a victim of fraud of any kind, this is just another aspect-version of failure of/to trust in authentication and authority, and licensing in general within a society we were raised in good faith to believe in.., carefully choosing words that are the actual problem and the difference between factual knowledge and fictitious fraud. It is the Observable constant problem in understanding Truth in Labelling(?).

    By coincidence, co inside-outside holographic positioning, my wife is learning to sing, a bit. The whole message of Temporal Totality, the Observable constant Eternity-now Interval expressed in/of Euler's e-Pi-i 1-0-infinity Unity, linear Sublimation-Tunnelling duration-spacing jumps in nodal-vibrational density-intensity real-numberness and 2-ness i-reflection containment in log-antilog potential oscillation 3-ness Cavity Resonance in 3D-T, WYSIWYG, hollowed out crystallisation spherical harmonics, and so on.., is the searh for meaning in/of "Who Am I?".

    "Why would you want to be a Policeman", is the same question as why do you want to Be?..Here Now in good conscience.., because the alternative is always accumulating the wrong way to do what is right/correct, and stay with bio-logical metastable Eternity-now Actuality.

  • @davidwilkie9551
    @davidwilkie9551 Год назад

    And this is the Trust in Licenced Authority story.., the real reason for Governments bsaed in religious/rigorous repetition of "character building" models, and leave it to the individual to work it out and take a "democratic" position on what, how and why inside-outside holographic positioning presence in Actuality is not what it seems superficially. Verification of actual cause-effect Truth, is subject to the Uncertainty Principle, Absolutely. When a Licensed Trader, or Lawyer of this type involved in legal contracts violates you (religiously/rigorously) presumed sense of morality issuing from the Government Authority to all citizens swearing allegiance to the elected government, ..as one Lawyer put it to me, "getting a loan from the Bank is like selling your soul", and that Lawyer felt no compunction in aiding a partner in destroying our partnership.., and the Government Authority gave tacic approval. No one, except for Michael and a few others, questions the legitimacy of a government elected by misinformed citizens and the total demoralisation of the inherently Gold-Silver Rule of moral purpose, of Democratic Elections.
