Patriot. Classical Liberalism. Virtue Ethics.

I'm beginning to think Twitter may be the worst of all social media platforms. At least with garbage like TikTok or Instagram, there's no cognitive load.

On here, you actively waste brainpower engaging with low-quality garbage on the pretext that you're becoming more informed.

[Socrates @BM15z]

@TheOneLanceB Phenomenal stock picker. Those who attribute his success to compounding alone are doing him a massive disservice.

[Socrates @BM15z]

The same fate awaits all those who fail to respect the market. People really should stop trying to be heroes and learn about survivorship bias. The retail gambler who came out ahead is the rare exception, a lottery winner.

[Socrates @BM15z]

It seems they've forgotten... "My kingdom is not of this world."

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Imagine reading from Genesis to Revelation, about God liberating people time and time again from Egypt to Rome, and somehow arriving at the conclusion that the Bible is to be used to support the power of earthly empires rather than to advocate for the people empires harm.

[Socrates @BM15z]

I love the quote about how the average person will do more due diligence before buying, say, a fridge than they will before dumping thousands of dollars into a stock.

[Socrates @BM15z]

None of them have a clue what the future holds for Bitcoin. It's like watching a priest preach to the cult. No plan, no justification. Just up and down with the ship, even if that means ruin.

[Crypto Fergani @cryptofergani]

Michael Saylor: "We're buying it to hold it 100 years...that $66K to $16K crash. That shook out the tourists. That shook out the non-believers."

"When it was 16K, we were all ready to ride it to zero."

[Socrates @BM15z]

Who would have thought a man driven solely by external markers like wealth, status and legacy would be unhappy?

You've sacrified biological motivators like family, friends and lived experience for the applause of soulless Twitter bots, narcissists, and paedophiles.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about 😔

[Socrates @BM15z]

There are many flaws in the education system, but most of this stuff is either useless or could be learned in a few hours at home.

This is precisely the problem with the public; so often misdiagnosing issues. What on earth are you going to do with knowing how to farm?

[Socrates @BM15z]

I don’t quite understand how people go about their lives thinking like this. What a miserable existence it must be to strip away all agency and blame everything on the system. Even if it’s true, it does nothing for you.

[Socrates @BM15z]

Hustle culture gurus corrupt the minds of desperate young people hoping for an escape. They sell the dream of low probability outcomes.

There’s a reason they sell courses. They contribute/create nothing of value. Their lives have no meaning beyond wealth and status.

[Tony Montana @9mmScorpion]

I’m glad I never grew up needing a fаggot internet pimp to validate me as “alpha”.

The people that paid for his courses, fuck you for keeping him in the limelight.

[Socrates @BM15z]

Powerful individuals abused children without consequence for decades. Politicians and agencies knew and participated.

It is among the most pressing issues we face. It's a test of the justice system and liberal democracy itself. If it's boring, you're likely morally bankrupt.

[Claire Lehmann @clairlemon]

Am I the only person who finds the Epstein story incredibly boring?

[Socrates @BM15z]

@RichardHanania @nikicaga No intelligent individual needs to tell others their position is smart or thoughtful, it's clear in the argument.

It's more likely to be underrepresented as people who hold such views are considered abnormal and shunned by society.

[Socrates @BM15z]

@tenshi_anna When someone says they’re an atheist, their position is a lack belief in God. Your reframing of divinity is a category error in that context. Not all reverence/desire carries the same weight as belief in God, in fact it’s not even close in most cases. You’re diminishing theism.

[Socrates @BM15z]

Steve Jobs, a man obsessed with nothing other than delivering quality. Those freaks in Silicon Valley can quote him all they like; they'll never understand what drove him, and they will never be like him. He was an artist.

[amrit @amritwt]

the only major tech billionaire that wasn't in the epstein files

[Socrates @BM15z]

@RichardHanania A man obsessed with nationalism and unchecked rule thinks he's a centrist. The human mind truly is incredible.

[Socrates @BM15z]

The great protector of Western civilisation was begging for an invitation to paedophile island? That would explain why he's fallen silent on the issue.

[Fred Lambert @FredLambert]

Elon Musk in an actual email to Epstein:

"What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

[Achilles @Xhej__]

“The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.”

[Socrates @BM15z]

@GoldSilverHQ Slowly, and then all at once. Beautiful, really.

[Socrates @BM15z]

There's something beautiful about watching the markets crush both early shorts and late longs. Nothing delivers equality quite like the free markets.

[Bark @barkmeta]

This morning, $3T was wiped out from Gold and Silver.

This afternoon, $2.5T was added back.

Both of these moves are now the #1 and #2 largest liquidity events in HUMAN HISTORY.

Gold and Silver broke the simulation and the chaos is just getting started... buckle up.

[Socrates @BM15z]

Our civilisation is global and decentralised, unlike all before it. The only way this happens is a nuclear disaster/asteroid that wipes out the majority of the population and infrastructure. Even then, it must be before we colonise Mars and the Moon in the next few hundred years.

[Opulence! @Theopulenceman]

In 10,000 years, your country won’t exist. The borders will be dissolved, and your language will be extinct or unrecognizable.

Your digital footprint will be gone, and data will rot faster than stone. Most of what defined us today, money, politics, status and online lives, will vanish without context.

What survives will be fragments: misread, mythologized, guessed at, and wrong.

The uncomfortable truth is this: human certainty is an illusion built on missing data. We don’t know where we truly came from. We don’t know how many civilizations rose, advanced, and quietly reset before us.

As history shows us, it isn’t a straight line of progress, it’s a series of collapses, with survivors writing the story. And we don’t know if we’re evolving… or just approaching another reset.
