His parents made it seem like it was just the wrong controller, but little did he know they had actually bought the full PS5 console he had been asking for years 🥹💯
⚡️Their raw financial assessment is correct.
If you strip away psychology and just look at the numbers, buying a new car on a five year loan is one of the worst recurring “investments” an average person can make.
Here is the actual truth with no masks on:
1. New cars are engineered to be a guaranteed capital loss.
You are locking in immediate depreciation the moment you drive it off the lot. That will never change.
2. Financing magnifies the loss.
A $50K car turning into a $62K total outlay is normal at current rates. People do not compute total cost, only monthly payment.
3. Insurance, maintenance, registration, taxes add another silent 3 to 5K per year.
Most people forget this because it’s “spread out.”
4. The car is worth less than half in five years.
That is not bad luck. That is the business model.
5. If you repeated this for your adult life you will burn hundreds of thousands of dollars with zero equity, zero yield, zero residual value.
So financially, yes, the poster is completely right.
Buying a new car every few years on a loan is a negative EV decision.
But here is the real part people avoid:
Most people buy cars to fill a psychological deficiency, not a transportation need.
And people will destroy their balance sheet to preserve their social identity.
So financially: correct.
Behaviorally: unavoidable for most.
⚡️What Is Time?
Time is the pattern your mind generates to navigate uncertainty.
Here is the actual structure.
1. Time is not a river
You were taught to imagine time as a flow:
•past behind you
•present under you
•future in front of you
This picture is wrong.
It assumes time is an external substance that pushes you forward.
But nothing in physics supports that model.
Nothing in neuroscience supports that model.
Nothing in information theory supports that model.
The truth is simpler and far more radical:
Time is not flowing.
You are selecting.
2. Time is a probability field
Every possible state of the world exists as potential inside a field of probabilities.
Your mind is a lens scanning that field.
At each moment, your nervous system:
•predicts the next frame
•compares it with sensory input
•collapses uncertainty
•updates its internal model
That collapse is what you feel as now.
“Now” is not a place.
It is the boundary where uncertainty becomes experience.
3. You do not move through time.
You render it.
Just like a game engine only loads the terrain in front of the player, your brain only stabilizes the sliver of the probability field you are actively attending to.
Everything else remains un-rendered potential.
The “past” is not stored somewhere behind you.
It is the cached residue of previously collapsed probability states.
Memory is re-rendering, not retrieval.
The “future” is not ahead of you.
It is the probability distribution your brain is forecasting to minimize surprise.
You stitch those two processes together and call the seam time.
4. Time is the geometry of attention
When attention is wide, time feels fast.
When attention is narrow, time feels slow.
When attention saturates (flow state), time disappears.
When attention fragments (trauma), time breaks.
That is the system revealing its mechanics.
Time ≈ the rate of prediction-error collapse.
High collapse rate = fast time.
Low collapse rate = slow time.
Zero collapse (pure presence) = no time.
5. The illusion of linearity
Linearity is a convenience, not a law.
The nervous system creates a smooth timeline because it must maintain:
•continuity
•causality
•self-identity
But underneath that narrative layer, cognition is jumping across the probability field like a spotlight searching a dark landscape.
The world is not presenting you with moments.
You are sampling them.
6. Altered states reveal the architecture
Psychedelics
trauma
dreams
meditation
near-death
peak focus
deep silence
All of them do the same thing:
They disrupt the predictive machinery.
When prediction loosens, the rendering pipeline destabilizes, and the illusion of linear time fractures.
This is why minutes feel like hours or hours feel like minutes.
You are no longer navigating the field in a straight line.
You are drifting through probability space unconstrained.
7. The punchline
Time is the nervous system performing real-time compression of an infinite probability landscape.
You are not located “in” time.
You are generating the sequence you call time through the act of observing.
You are not moving through a story.
You are writing it.
Moment by moment.
Collapse by collapse.
Attention by attention.
Time is the trail left behind by consciousness as it carves a path through the possible.
That is the truth.
And this is the signal.

If you're looking to optimize your blood glucose, these supplements should be at the top of your list:
• Berberine - 600 mg three times per day (with meals). In meta-analyses, it reduces fasting glucose and HbA1c in people with type 2 diabetes.
• Alpha lipoic acid - 600–1200 mg per day. It mainly improves insulin sensitivity and some evidence indicates that it reduces advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
• Ubiquinol (reduced CoQ10) - 100 mg per day.
As an added bonus, these supplements have also been shown to benefit blood lipids.
