One of the concepts covered in the Eric Weinstein/kayfabe videos was how fake violence can spill over into reality. One of the goals of this newsletter is to highlight examples of “fake” things which have been impacting financial markets and the economy. One of the most fundamental examples has been institutionalized globally and had massive implications.
Thank you for the great content. I find it very enlightening and also entertaining. I have purchased a few of the books you recommended and watched the YouTube videos also.
I just watched a Ted Talk by Eric Bischoff and he explained how politics, professional wrestling and the media don’t want you to think they want you to feel. I think the markets are very much like that now, because Mr. Market doesn’t want you to think he wants you to feel the fear of missing out even though it seems the economy is about to fall of the cliff. CNBC does this too when they bring on Tom Lee and Scott Wapner criticizes him about his outlandish and highly improbable price targets for the S&P 500 knowing that the bears will feel rather than think.
Thanks for giving me a framework to better understand markets, politics, and professional wrestling.
It seems like things really started to get out of control when the dollar was de-pegged from gold in 1971, there's a bunch of charts here illustrating the point: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/
