  1. Excellent resource for useful solutions to address modern chemicals in the food problems: Beyond Wellness Radio. You can subscribe to it on any podcatcher. It's two functional doctors (look up that term) who get on a call and discuss a health issue, what can cause it, and how to deal with it by looking at the body as a system of integrated systems. They are practically broken records when it comes to gut, thyroid, and adrenals. Most health problems are gut problems, and after gut problems, most health problems are thyroid or adrenal problems. The chemicals in the food and water mainly attack these things, and if you get them in working order again, your body can deal with and remove the toxins in our environment much better. I also love getting information from Dave Asprey, though he's more of a metadata kind of guy (reads data from other places and tells it to everyone). The guys on Beyond Wellness Radio are actual doctors testing and prescribing what they're talking about. RSS: http://justinhealth.libsyn.com/ https://www.facebook.com/JustInHealthWellnessClinic/
  2. I don't know if they can be fixed from the inside, either. Like I mentioned in the video, the narcissist thinks it's great that the whole world exists for them, so why would they even want to change? I've ever heard if they go to therapy that they become worse, because it just makes them more manipulative from their new and better understanding of human psychology. Two options are all I know: 1. completely remove them from your life or 2. Just agree with everything they say when you meet them, then do whatever you wanted to do anyway when they're gone.
  3. Dude, I've seen a lot of your posting around here recently and you have seem to have a serious, serious hangup about women and dating. It's like every single topic you post on terms into a rant against western women, regardless of the subject. I'm not saying you're not correct, but to get a better grasp on your life, you may want to figure out how to not dip into that mode at every opportunity.
  4. Thanks Barnsley. Did you watch the whole video? Near the end I gave my ideas on how to deal with narcissists, and I clearly said that they couldn't be "fixed".
  5. The old people here flock to Okanogan County, Washington. Everything is cheap and there is more land than you know what to do with. Mountains, trees, rivers, deserts, lakes--it's all in here if you want it. Just don't forget the beer when you go shopping this week.
  6. Debt surpluses cause economic crashes because: "Surplus" means more money is taxed out of existence than spent into existence, thus the net supply of private sector savings diminishes. All US economic crashes were preceded by a government surplus. The 2008 crash followed the Clinton surplus years. The private sector, still wanting to do business, begins to rely on private creditors for their funding. Private creditors, unlike federal government debt, need to be repaid. In order to pay the interest back to the private creditors, more private credit needs to be relied on, as federal debt isn't available to do so with. At some point the private sector can no longer take the private sector debt load and the whole thing comes crashing down. The private sector credits get scared and disappear into their shells, refusing to hand out any more credit. Without federal debt or private credit to access cash, the private sector becomes frozen. There isn't enough money for it to function. The economy begins to rebuild itself when more money is returned into the system. This can be done a variety of ways: Increasing spending (injects more money into the system) Reducing taxes (stops taking money out of the system) Increasing exports (goods leave the system and money comes into the system) Increasing interest rates (interest rates paid out by the Fed is money that floats out in the system like federal debt) With the massive reduction of taxes coming with the new tax law, as well as the increased manufacturing opportunity suggested by the new low corporate tax rate (businesses come back home, bring their money, and start exporting goods), we may have just seen the economy literally being turned back on. The tax breaks for individuals and small businesses are nice bonuses and I'm happy to take them, but the REAL impact comes from the lower corporate rate. Looking at this from a macro scale, the amount of money no longer being sucked out of the system, and the potential money coming back into it, is so exciting it almost has me giddy when I think about it. Moral of the story: federal surpluses BAD. The crash economies.
  7. Update on this: how you know when you're right about something. For those who haven't watched, I talk about my mom a lot in this video, as I use her as my source of examples to describe the behavior of narcissists. I do not talk to my mom at all; I have her blocked on all media and if she tries to reach out with something like a new phone number, I block it immediately. I haven't spoken to her in 4 years. Yesterday morning (Christmas) I received a call from my grandmother (mother's mother). After I said hello, the first thing out of her mouth was, "Are you into cyberbullying?" I was confused, but it took me a second to realize she was talking about this video. She said my mother had called her that morning crying because she had watched it, that I was being mean for posting something like that, and that I should take it down. "So," I said, "Let me get this straight. All the things that my mother did to me which I described in the video were not mean, but the fact that I spoke up about it is mean?" What followed was the most incredible explosion of anger I have ever directed at my grandmother. It may be on the list of greatest anger explosions from me ever. My grandmother played stupid, changed the subject, became passive aggressive, agreed with me then repeated her initial attacks, and did anything she could to dodge the fact that my mother was culpable for her abuse, and that I was justified in creating the video. No matter what went on in the conversation, she kept bringing it back to how I should take the video down. She claimed incredulousness--"Why didn't you ever say anything as a child? I never noticed anything was going on." I told her directly over the phone that she was lying to me, that no one can be that stupid (she literally lived across the street from where I grew up and I was over at her house every day), and that she was denying what I was saying because to accept it would mean she was largely responsible in creating the monster which is my mother. She of course denied this and kept trying to change the subject. I lasted for about 20 minutes before I simply said, "I see the conversation is going nowhere. Bye." If you couldn't have guessed it, my wife and I did not go to the family Christmas dinner. My wife heard the whole thing (probably my neighbors, too ), and after I was finished came over to tell me that I was right about everything I had said. Since getting married (1+ years ago), I had been talking to my grandmother more because I wanted my wife to have some sort of family to experience on my side. She visits my grandma every few weeks to go to lunch and talk. I didn't think much of it until she told me something later that day. She told me that during one of her visits, my grandmother and her were out to lunch and they got on the subject of my upbringing. My wife told me that my grandmother had told her that, "[Dylan's upbringing] wasn't as bad as [Dylan] describes it." While this comment seemed innocuous as first, I thought about it for the rest of the day and my anger grew. My initial thoughts were: how could she possibly know that? But then I realized this wasn't the right way to think about it. The right way to think about it was: no one is capable of knowing about someone else's experience better than they are, and everyone knows that. What that means is my grandmother told my wife a bald-face lie in order to discredit me in my wife's eyes. As my anger grew throughout the day, the real understanding clicked. "It's not as bad as he describes it." In my video, I go over several specific examples and stories of exactly how my mother treated me. The reason this caused such a fiasco with my mother and my grandmother is this: it is much more difficult to deny a specific story. If I say, "My upbringing was bad." And the response is, "You're overblowing it." Everything is vague. Everything is easily to combat verbally. However, if I have specific instances of abuse and insanity, "you're overblowing it" isn't strong enough magic to dispell the problem. What my video did was create an undeniable record of abuses that could not be defended against. This is why there was such a freakout from both my mother and my grandmother. My mother, true to my definition in the video, was obviously obsessed about her image and couldn't care less about what she did to someone else, thus applied any manipulative thumbscrew that she could to get me to take it down (get grandma to guilt me). Grandma was completely on board because it tacitly exposed her as well. Her terror of being exposed evidenced from her downplaying of my experience to my wife, which was essentially a bald-faced lie to her in order to get her to trust me less. The result: my mother and my grandmother's reactions proved I was right. Yesterday I decided that in response to their freaking out and flailing, that I would endeavor to make the video more available. I want it to be clear that there are consequence to fucking with me and my family. Please share this video if you know someone who can find this information useful.
  8. The rovin' gambler he was very bored Trying to create a next world war He found a promoter Who nearly fell off the floor, he said, "I've never engaged in this kind of thing before But yes, I think it can be very easily done." "We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun and have it on Highway 61."
  9. I would say your hypothesis is legitimate and worth further investigation.
  10. What collapse? Governments create their own demand of their currency via taxation, and thus create the currency's value. If bitcoin does achieve something akin to currency status (which it very well could, as I discussed with Nima), it would make things a lot easier for a lot of people around the world trying to live with their governments making idiotic and often anti-life decisions for them. However, even if BTC is used as a currency, governments will still demand taxes in the currencies they create, which still give value to those created currencies.
  11. US can't go bankrupt. It creates its own currency. Country credit ratings are made-up nonsense. The paper is already valueless on its own. The reason it has value is because the government demands it in taxes. It will retain its value as long as that occurs.
  12. Burrrrrrn. The government can't run out of money to support the welfare state. On the federal level, the government can create infinite money to pay for things. As long as there is a reserve population that actually produces enough to keep up with welfare demand, it can go forever. I think the tipping point comes when either regulations (like the West) or totalitarianism (like Venezuela) inhibit the productive population from actually producing something; then those parasites who devour us perish in their uttermost famine.
  13. Mark Kohler GOP breakdown for small business owners and individuals! BIG BIG BIG one for business owners: automatic 20% deduction on your adjusted gross income! Mark goes over how this affects sole-props, S-corps, and C-corps. He also hits on individual double standard deductions, lower bracket rates, and what it means that several deductions have been eliminated.
  14. Gold isn't money. The national debt is great. Federal surpluses crash the economy. Taxes don't fund spending. ...what is this nonsense? Trust us! It makes sense once you understand the pieces. Dylan and Nima discuss MMT basics from a conservative standpoint. We cover a ton of points in this video: The statist origins and nature of money The cause and effect relationship between taxation and government spending The differences between a currency user and a currency issuer Why government debt = private sector money The meanings of the words "debt", "deficit", and "surplus" as they pertain to the federal government Why debt surpluses cause economic crashes WTF happened with Weimar, Zimbabwe, and Venezuela and how hyperinflation occurs Theorize why normal inflation occurs We understand this all sounds like blasphemy to the libertarian-tuned ear, which is why it's so important that it is discussed. Like always, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks! UPDATE! 1/14/18 New Video MMT for Conservatives Part 2 - What You've Never Been Told About the Economy Nima and I discuss: -The concept of Credit Money and the Statist origins of money -Sectoral Balances: how foreign trade can affect money supply and economic conditions -Floating vs. Fixed Currency Systems: the arbitrariness of the gold standard -Why do governments sell bonds? Do they actually fund spending? No. They are essentially risk-free assets for rich people. -What do federal reserve interest rates do? Nothing. -If interest rates do nothing, why does the Fed control them? -What does Quantitative Easing do? Turns out it's nothing to worry about. -The basics of the private banking system UPDATE! 1/20/2018 New Video MMT for Conservatives Part 3 - Special Guest Warren Mosler Dylan and Nima bring on Modern Monetary Theory founder and lead spokesperson Warren Mosler to discuss the topics gone over in the previous two videos and more. Including but not limited to: -Why MMT is so distasteful to conservatives (and everyone else) How US bonds don't fund the government How interest rates ACTUALLY affect the economy What quantitative easing does to the economy (virtually nothing), and why everyone freaks out about it (and why they shouldn't) What actually happened during the banking bailouts of 2008 (it's nothing like we've been told) Basics of the banking sector How the US is utterly overtaxed and the damaging economic effects of transactional taxes (sales tax, VAT, etc.) -Proposing an idea: wiping out ALL federal taxes and replacing it with a base 5% property tax. No more IRS.
  15. I've been wanting to share this information for awhile. I grew up with a narcissistic parent and I've run into several people now who have had to deal with narcissists in their lives. Dealing with a narcissist is very dangerous and a massively toxic influence to your life. Understanding them can be very difficult, but once you know what to look for, everything makes sense. I try to offer some practical advice on identifying and dealing with narcissists.
  16. Good question for Nima. I dunno. My amateur opinion: because there is a max number of potential BTC, it's deflationary by nature. It's a useful feature to be able to infinitely (and easily) divide it, but the way money is handled by modern governments is they make more of it when they spend. This is naturally inflationary (though the reasons why aren't immediately obvious). What this could potentially mean is that if BTC becomes more valuable (thus more deflationary), people would be willing to do more for less of it. Essentially this would put an extreme advantage for those who held BTC before the massive deflation, as people would be willing to work for less and less of it. For a currency to be viable, there has to be enough in the system that everyone can use it (in the case of fiat currency, there has to be enough that everyone can pay their taxes and save an amount they're comfortable with). If BTC became too deflationary... I don't see how this would be possible. However, as Nima points out in the video, BTC can be seen as like the base layer of code where new currencies can be created on top of it. What does this mean? I don't know and I think no one knows, but the potential is incredible. As for data corruption... I like the way Nima always answers these sort of questions: there are lots of problems, and there are a ton of people working on those problems all the time. I know overstock.com can been accepting BTC for quite awhile now, and I've heard that the Japanese government started accepting BTC in 2017. Looks like just a matter of time.
  17. UPDATE: Now that the tax bill has passed, it appears that the majority of things that Mark Kohler complained about have been addressed! Mark is planning on breaking the bill down over the next few days.
  18. Let me rephrase: The US government can't go bankrupt, because it can issue its own currency. Greece can't because it was stupid enough to give its national sovereignty of currency issuing over to the European Central Bank. Plus it listens to globalist idiots telling them they need austerity and to reduce spending, which sends any country into its economic demise.
  19. Yup. It seems the more I accept the fact that I have free will, the more power I gain over my life and my ability to interact with my natural environment. Likewise, the reverse seems to be true. The more I reject freewill, the more I become a leaf floating in the windows of accidental circumstance. When someone argues lack of free will, ignoring the fact that they are choosing to do so, they are setting up a way to excuse themselves of responsibility, whether at that moment or in the future. If a person couldn't help but do what he did, then then he can't be morally responsible for what he did, because what he did was outside of his control, and we are not responsible for things outside of our control. When someone starts playing freewill vs. determinism games with me ("games" meaning arguing the lack of existence of one or the other, or misidentifying one for the other), I know there is a manipulation coming right around the corner. There will be a lazy excuse for behavior that I will have been primed to accept. No thanks.
  20. What's the basis behind the assumption of the civilizational meltdown? Do you live in Western Europe?
  21. When you combine the biological drive to whine until men take care of things for you, and an upbringing where society generally doesn't blame you for your faults--that's a potent mixture right there. Sprinkle in some feminism and the concoction turns thermonuclear. I would say we won't really know until the feminism and the un-blaming of faults gets pulled back to the bare biological bones. I'm laughing my ass off at the title of this thread, just so you know.
  22. New video up! Nima and I discuss the value of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and whether Bitcoin meets the criteria to be considered a currency. Is a bitcoin bubble about to burst? What exactly is going on that gives it any value in the first place? Viewing through the lens of modern monetary theory (MMT), can bitcoin be considered a currency? Watch and learn more. I've been seeing a lot spazzticness on facebook recently about the "bitcoin bubble" which is about to burst. Nima and I discuss what exactly a bubble means, the general warning signs of it, and how saying there is a bitcoin bubble is like saying there is a gold bubble. A "bubble" occurs when credit gets overextended and there is no way to pay it back. The real estate bubble of 2008 is a perfect example of this. Real estate prices skyrocketed because mortgages were being handed out like candy to people who obviously would never be able to pay them back. When enough people defaulted on their loans, the bubble popped when the banks couldn't lend anymore to keep the prices rising. What analogous situation is occurring to bitcoin? I've also heard the term "ponzi scheme" thrown around. A ponzi scheme is when future investors are paid with the money from prior investors, which eventually will crash when the ponzi scheme operator runs out of prior investors to pay future ones. Who is the guy paying out dividends from prior BTC investors? No one. Bitcoin technically can't fit the description of a ponzi scheme. What makes bitcoin valuable, or even gives it the potential to be a form of currency? Nima made the argument in an article How the Fiat Money System Can Explain Bitcoin’s Value that because bitcoin miners demand bitcoin for services of accessing the bitcoin blockchain, bitcoin functions in a similar way to fiat money like the US dollar, which gains it's value because it is demanded by its issuer (the US government) for taxes. However, there is a major problem: it's too damn volatile for anyone to save it as a regular currency. What are the missing ingredients? It's hard to tell when we've only seen maybe 8 years of bitcoin--at least when we analyze money, we have 5000 years worth of examples to sift through. The prediction: as more and more people are discovering or simply bumping into bitcoin, the value is naturally going up as more and more people get involved. Because the interest is still relatively small, big investors can make huge differences by moving money in or out of bitcoin ("whale splashing" as Nima termed it). This effect should diminish and possibly even disappear until "everyone is using bitcoin". We also discuss technical problems and technical solutions of cryptocurrencies and blockchains. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
  23. Yup. It's also the first step to revoking responsibility. I can't be responsibility for anything if I didn't choose to do it.
  24. Peace Revolution Podcast did at least one podcast on this subject, which included plans for controlling a population through pharmaceuticals hatched as early as the 40s. I remember specifically a speech by Aldous Huxley in the podcast talking about this. Can't for the life of me remember which podcast it is, though.
