Are we living in a post truth world? Is the new normal that it is ok to believe what we prefer over what actually is? That we are fine ignoring some things that are clearly wrong or false because we prefer that side over the other alternative.
My good friend, Chris Rusin (@OutsideMaze ) is the most interesting human in FI. He's been treasure hunting with Navy SEALs in the Florida Keys, helped dig up a Torosaurus, written a screenplay, and survived cancer. Best of all, he's a good person. (How fortunate am I to have friends like this!???)

Nice work friend.
I want to join republicans in attacking the justice system because of trump…as well as our elections, and our press… because make America great again really means let’s torch our institutions and roast marshmallows on the ashes of the greatest democracy in the world
@naval What do you mean by “great”? Tinkering just because we can is meaningless. Deaf to the demands of the world could describe a tyrant. Don’t do it to help others or to save the world? Does this imply we should do it for the converse statement to destroy the world and hurt others
I just heard Alexey Navalny has died in Russian prison. As a supporter of democracy and freedom this is a sad day and a reminder of what happens to free speech under leaders that deny legitimate elections:
@jarrodmorrisJM Yeah I was gonna see if anyone called this out already. Friend played me that @zachlanebryan song and I was like oh yeah I love this @GregoryAIsakov tune and he was like who’s that🤔

-Huffpost headline

“Rising Treasury Yields Pull Stocks Lower” -WSJ headline December 4, 2023
“Treasury Yields Fall to Lowest Levels Since Summer” -WSJ headline December 5, 2023
Just another example of why financial news is pretty much all B.S. (even the Wall Street Journal)
This is something that has been on my mind lately and someone wrote an article about it. I have seen first hand how consumers are not changing behavior at the store even in the face of huge price hikes: Inflation Is Your Fault - The Atlantic https://t.co/OARDxVm3W1
