Forget human history, that's the resultant of the median behavior optimized by Nature to produce the continuation of the specie.

At the individual level the pinnacle of happiness is teenage years and early adulthood.

Why wouldn't a rational individual not seek to prolong the behaviors in which one engaged during the pinnacle of happiness

Guys should go back to the basics.

Back when we were in high school we were aiming to do the least amount of work to get through the year and spend the rest of the time hanging out with our mates.

A big part of our fault is also that we accept to get dragged by women into a territory that is not ours which is made up of large amount of introspection, extremely fine margins between good times and awful times and walking on eggshells with regards to social cues , the avoidance of social faux passes, planning years and years into the future down to the smallest detail .

That's the perfect recipe for depression for guys

We should go back to the basics and hangout with our mates trying to do the least amount of work as possible, play sports, banter with each other, take everything much less seriously and when we feel the need to have sex shoot for ONS or visit escorts or prostitutes and then go back to our mates.

> > imagine apple and amazon stock holders thinking the same and selling when stock went up 100% after ipo

In the case of Amazon they'd have had the opportunity to buy at 97% discount compared to ATH

It's about time somebody creates an onroute KYC to banks and offramp to spend so that you upload you KYC in the KYC app and then you can potentially open as many bank accounts as there are banks in the country, and the same for the offramp for the spending

Openbanking should be the priority and immediately after that openstockbrokering too

As of now people don't have their savings in USD and their investments in SP500 but in [bank of choice]USD and in [broker of choice]SP500

This means that outage or one of the usual dumb flagging that make banks stop providing you services until you send them an x-ray of your colon could potentially leave you without spendable money even if you have a million dollars or more

You have to join a more restrict community such as the FIFA PRO Clubs or the Rainbow Six teams or whatever is restrict and gaming thing . The general chatter/board where a plethora of people hangout such as reddit won't get you anywhere just like real life

Gambling on sports is the only field in which you can make money by having people think the opposite of what you think and you have a deadline by which the market has to resolve so you can avoid going bankrupt in the long wait for market to reconcile with reality as it happens in the stock market .

Bookies are bad they find ways to avoid paying all the times, exchanges are good

And the act itself , meaning wagering on athletes competing is almost as old as sex and prostitution and all the hopes to regulate it into submission are just as idiotic.

> > and hurt productive capacity and jobs far less

This is so BS, the productivity of a company is given by cash flow and Discounted Cash Flow (output>input) , not stock market value , taxing Musk would force him to sell stock and dilute the ownership of Tesla and SpaceX down among the population proportionally and according to the brackets of taxation applied.

The fear that you are describing is exactly what's wrong with society, the virus of the mind that attributes to CEOs and especially tech CEOs demigod properties and if their ownership and decision making control were to be diluted the company would collapse and die.

If anything it's the opposite, the oldest companies in America have their ownership much more diluted than they once were . JPMorgan is not controlled by John Pierpont Morgan, same for all the companies which make up what once was Standard Oil

If anything history is showing that for the survival of a company it is almost a condition non negotiable that its ownership and decision making has to be diluted among millions of people with a low inequality factor, or at least lower than the one necessary in the first years of the company

> > If you disconnect the link between work and material comfort that simple, undeniable fact will no longer be fact.

The disconnect is already there, any 5 year old already understands that stealing a comic book at the comic book store is better than paying for it. And more and more people are resorting to it at every level of society

How can it be hot? Real means that it has a tangible value, a ceiling and so it cannot be charged up by the psychological hypetrain of the 'new paradigm' and also the financial hypetrain of number going up.

It is a pretty confined upside if anything

I looked into it years ago when I wanted to tokenize small firefighting planes and helicopters hoping that being the person in charge of the entity doing the tokenization I could be staying at the premises of the private companies that lease the planes and helicopters and hold the contracts to do the actual firefighting.

My hope was that being identified as the 'owner of the planes' eventually the crew would allow me to fly the missions as a +1 even though I don't have the licenses.

But never crossed my mind that this could be make me a millionaire

> > How would one daydream, i.e., imagine, when you have everything presented to you in 4k and you can even interact with it through games?

You can daydream about being the protagonist of such actions which is not the same as watching other people doing it

We gave up on trying to convince others with just words if we don't have the money to back it up, meaning paying them to follow us.

When was the last time you convinced a person to bet on you , meaning transforming a no into a yes using a 30-40 sequence of words that you said?

No alcohol, no natural gain of confidence over time, straight up transforming a no into a yes without any appeal to higher authority (No AI, no Google, no Internet) no pitch deck, no market analysis no MVP, no nothing, just straight up 'trust me bro' with a more complex structure.

And I mean generally not (solely) romantically.
