@ctindale Sir, you posted what seems like poor Ai-slop about gold vs the current unit of account of money. (Pangram, a leading Ai-slop detector, says it is 100% slop.)
Agree Maslow apropos.

Love the tension between The Narrative Fallacy and Occam's Razor slides.
Our brains want to compress information to save processing energy, but reality is messy and effects are often multi-causal.
Trump bombing Iran, Mamdani winning the NYC democrat mayoral primary, and Cluely's raise reveal a lot about the architecture of power. Attention → Speculation → Allocation is the new supply chain
The bombing was yet again a Trumpian inversion of system architecture - flipping how information and decision-making traditionally flow and raising social media dynamics above all. Mamdani's win was very interesting for many reasons, but really highlights that attention is the path to institutional override (just like Trump, but from the other side). And Cluely is the synthesis of attention capture capability - and attention as a fundable asset class.
Attention is the raw material of economic, political, and military action. But speculation is what operationalizes that attention: the bets people place (emotionally, politically, financially) on what narrative will become real.
