The year is 2035. AI has taken over the internet. Nothing online is real anymore. Every video, every influencer, every girlfriend, every news story is fake. So everyone logged off.
Digital work was obliterated and automated. The most valualbe skills are now cooking, fixing a truck, farming and fixing things with your hands.
You moved to the land with your wife and 5 close couples.
Farmers and mechanics are the new millionaires. Dinner parties are the new social media. People write letters again. Your kids grow up barefoot, climbing trees and eating steak and eggs instead of scrolling.
News? the only news is your 6th kid on the way.
Turns out AI didn’t destroy humanity. It just made the internet so fake that we finally went back outside.
1774: they blew tobacco smoke up drowning victims' backsides to revive them, and the kits hung along the Thames like lifebuoys.
1863: they sold cocaine wine as a daily tonic, and a pope pinned a gold medal on it.
1898: they sold heroin as a cough medicine, and spooned it into coughing children.
1918: they sold radium water as a health drink, and the millionaire who drank 1,400 bottles was buried in a lead-lined coffin with most of his jaw gone.
1921: they put lead in petrol, and Britain kept it in the pumps until 2000.
1930s: they X-rayed children's feet in shoe shops, and kids queued to watch their toes wiggle on the screen.
1940s: they rubbed mercury teething powder into babies' gums, and about 1 in 500 of those babies was poisoned.
1946: they sold cigarettes on the line that more doctors smoked their brand, and put a man in a white coat on the advert.
1949: they gave the lobotomy a Nobel Prize, and doctors went in through the eye socket with an ice pick.
1952: they sold a cigarette filter made of asbestos as the greatest health protection in smoking history, and smokers drew it into their lungs with every puff.
1957: they sold thalidomide to pregnant women for morning sickness, and around 10,000 babies were born with missing or shortened limbs.
1960s: they sold margarine as the heart-healthy fat, and spread trans fat on a generation's toast.
1996: they sold OxyContin as barely addictive, and started an overdose epidemic.
1999: they sold Vioxx for sore joints, and pulled it five years later after tens of thousands of heart attacks.
2026: they're selling seed oil as the heart-healthy fat, and it's in almost every packet in your kitchen.
Every one of these came with an expert's blessing and the same total certainty.
The people telling you which fat to fear today sit in the same chairs as the ones who put radium in the water and a doctor on the cigarette packet, and they're every bit as sure.
"The experts recommend it" has the longest body count in medicine.
AI getting better every day.
You can obviously still tell it's not real footage (Eiffel Tower burning down).
But, can you tell it's not real actors with movie CGI?
We're getting very close to that.
It's only a matter of time.
$SILVER
A textbook bounce off the bottom end of the expected support range (image 1).
Looks like it wants a bit higher (image 2) possibly into the $58.50-$59 USD zone.
Clearing and holding over $59 opens it up to higher on the larger time frames.
But I would watch for rejection in that expected resistance zone.
If it stalls and then falls back down through the blue zone, it could be it was just a little rally and lower price might be coming.
@grok this is the tweet screen-shotted in the above post.
Analyse based on what was going on at the time and try to ascertain if the person was pro Pauline Hanson like it could look like she was, or whether it might be sarcastic. Take into account the persons other posts either around the same time or now.

I've worked for 3 major physical gold dealers in Australia.
They are just like any other retail store.
They buy at wholesale prices, sell at retail prices and pocket the tiny spread in between.
So the premiums have to exist.
But in regards to buy back rates, anything above 5% under spot price is "taking the piss" (Australian slang for pushing it too far), in my opinion.
I know dealers who don't charge a buy back spread at all. They buy back at exactly spot price.
And they still make money.
A little shopping around can usually land a better deal, but it also depends on the country you're in and the culture surrounding buy backs.
Australia cannot afford to repeat the mistake of mass migration which is tearing apart Europe.
Countries like France, Germany, Belgium and the U.K. are all suffering because of mass migration.
Unless Australia stops importing people who reject our democracy, our way of life and the values of Western civilisation, these riots will eventually be coming to Australian cities.
