Which leads me to ...

Sweaty hands. Well - I got cozy, watching some of that video, after having had the urge to look for some more of that green stuff in those ashes I can't get myself to just throw out just yet.
And wow. So, the downturn was ... solid enough that I'm having a legitimate upturn now.

So ... a week is definitely enough ... and you can even smoke SOME during that time.

Anyway. So, a while back I had this insight. I started writing about it but I couldn't quite formulate it all. The situation turned out to be a bit more complex than I had thought. I mean, we're getting deep into elite capitalism with that one. Like ... it neccessitates the theoretical construct of a Shadow Corporation that also acts as a Super Corporation. So - like ... an invisible Mothership hovering in the sky.

To not try and make sense of it that is beyond me: one image that stuck and is definitely something is the visualization of Capitalism once magnifying it to that extent. Upper Echelon is certainly familiar with the concept as he made videos sort of gesturing into that same direction, maybe they even pronounced it at some point, where - the thing is that these huge tech corps are now shuffling money back and forth between them, making a profit while doing so. But where's the money coming from? Doesn't matter. What matters is the simplest function of Capitalism: Profit.
Profit means: You give a dollar and you get back more than a dollar. In slow motion this is ... somewhat acceptable. Or palettable. Like ... a business has to invest and whether or not they make ends meet at the end of the year is a bit of an open question. But speed it up ... to basically not account for that time gap at all: You give 1 Dollar and get 2 back, let's say. So, you have to see that first in the context of wages. To us, wages are a good thing. We get money and the boss gets money - everyone gets money - nice. But at the scale of millions going up while we're again pushed into poverty it looks a little different. It's a vacuum that works by telling us that hey, at least we (so, us little folk) get money also. But do we? I mean - some certainly do, but alas, these corps have a bit of a hard one to ... even cut back on that one.


But that is also just sort of something that came up while I was thinking about it. Generally the idea however translates into "AI is a Bubble" - and that whole ... "is it or not"? But more so thinking of the concept of a Gold Rush. I mean - for the last decades or so the "get rich" question has been growing and realized to some extents on the internet. And so the idea of the next big milestone in human history ... was out there. Speaking of Bitcoin for instance. Had you bought in early - you'd now be rich. And so, well, hoho, AI comes along.
So - now everyone is jumping on board, wanting a piece of the cake, but all they see is the potential return on investment. But so the whole thing is overfinanced to no end - like, there is no actual metric for true demand. Outside of say ... prying Hollywood away from woke hands and stuff like that. Or having to pay actors. So - everyone wants their money - but what demand is going to create that revenue?

Oh, hey! I landed it!


But sure. One side of me wants to keep this to myself because I really want to see this thing crash into a wall. I wanna get comfy with some popcorn and enjoy the fire. On the other hand there's also ... what other uses one could get out of it, what resources are required to do so (so: Who can afford it?) and the kind of advantage someone who understands how to use it effectively could leverage (kind of sci fi, but ...).

And I don't know. It just further scratches that itch of mine to ... basically take a record of what I see. To take notes of what I see. Apros-pos. I was staring at Obsidian understanding what it could do - but I didn't know where to start. Until at one point I was so pissed off by the ads that were flying my way that I just started there. The thing that emerged then turned out to become somewhat specific, so it now sits there in a folder named 'conspiracy web'.
There's even Jesus Christ in it! For once implicated in the culture war, but also linked to the concept of Conspiracy in the aspect of "Righteous Conspiracy". Politics ... but ... Love and Compassion also - which links with Social Sadism around the idea of the Culture war. Anti-wokeness is a hub for all sorts of nasty stuff, basically just Satans wishlist in a way - but the biggest dots, next to Jesus Christ, are 'Making Money' and 'financial Envy'.

The node that started it - 'Contemporary Ads are Horrendous' - is only surrounded by four points: Making Money, financial Envy, Conspiracy and AI. I mean ... I was just brainstorming. Politics: I have: The rise of Fascism, The increase in global tensions, the war against the left, Culture War and Jesus Christ. So, sure - it is somewhat biased by the general context it exists in.
And even if the thing doesn't really make sense in Text Form, it is certainly a way to explore thoughts while being able to keep tabs on things because ... they're there in the Graph and ... it's ... an interactive graph. Just dragging stuff around is a little bit of fun already - and by doing so the web gets re-arranged and things may come to light that ... maybe wouldn't have come out otherwise.

But then - it's also scary to look at it and see how dominant those negative aspects are in todays world. I mean - matters such as "Making Money", "financial Envy", "wealth Inequality", etc. ... they're all pretty bad on their own but overall ... I suppose we collectively still kind of treat it all as something harmless that only exists on the internet; Because as soon as people meet face to face it's all just, somehow, supposed to be a joke or whatever.
But seeing it like that ... ConspiracyWeb.7z and not seeing much if anything to counter that ... that's alarming!


But yea. My upturning senses have been tingling ... which they haven't in a long time because I didn't have a full downturn in a long time or at least no pleasant upturn either. And as opposed to feeling like I'm about to get fucked with I'm feeling ... the opposite ... more and more. So ... there's a song. It has somehow made its way into my playlist - like those DMX remixes - while having been woefully missing from previous lists. It's possibly because my Music Collection is on an external drive and the tracks I had on my internal storage was always somewhat curated but also really just somewhat random. Well ... whatever, but also, still kind of random. Which means ... it qualifies as some kind of closing note right here.


Mmmmm, oooo ... campy!
