In addition to correlation does not imply causation. And assuming you're reading that correlation causally by specifying a causal model: a correlates ...
Probably nature. Don't know what you mean by absolute or relative. Assuming relative means context dependent and absolute means context independent, I...
Explaining personal stance on this: You say a thing which is contentious, provocative and implausible in an OP and don't evince it. You make a bad OP....
Coming up with what you think about it takes longer. Try writing down what you think the quote means, keep doing it until you think you've covered eve...
:up: To be fair, the passive aggressive reason I chose to relay these points now was that I was lenient with you over another mod issue, and I felt yo...
Yeah! I don't know, or really care, what the fair price is. I'd've been fine losing it all if GME crashed to 0 at that point. Not going to pretend I'm...
A few of the reasons: (1) The argumentative style was overblown, lots of grandstanding. (2) you talked around points without making them clearly. Say ...
Why isn't a change in investment strategy (the "flight to safety") that aims to buy things that aren't effected by these ruinous market shenanigans a ...
I'd heard that. I don't think it suffices. I'm sure they would attempt to raise the price if they could; where's the evidence that they have. I'm susp...
Yes. I doubt that it's a conspiracy? The only way it makes sense as a conspiracy would be if: Media attention on silver was intended to divert people ...
And you've been trolling us with his remarks ever since.:roll: Pretending not to understand is exceedingly frustrating; the onus is on you to give an ...
Just conjecture, I am a noob. Can you imagine what the operational leverage of your average investment firm is after the covid bailouts went to the fi...
I think the short volume/interest of a stock is different from whether a portfolio is net short? As I understand it short interest in a stock says how...
That seems right to me too. I thought it suggested that the user required the ability to buy on the margin in order to buy the stock, perhaps I've mis...
Robinhood stopped buy orders of GME. Full stop. As did Etoro. t212 stopped new clients from joining. Heard reports about other agencies that buy order...
You need fucking margin to buy it now. Everyone who has margin is short on GME already, that's how they got into this fucking mess. Etoro's still got ...
I think the rejection is of the glasses. Part of that rejection is the "subject-predicate form", but I believe that's not all which is rejected. The m...
I think the situation is both much worse and much better than that fundamental loneliness would suggest. Much worse: we don't even have that purported...
:up: Perhaps controversial, but the confinement of mass politics to discourse; politics as mass shitposting; isn't isolated to the US, UK, or even the...
:up: I think the contention isn't that "everything is capable of being set out in a statement", it's where that capability comes from and how it works...
Wrote on this here and here. I think the reasons he's popular and attractive to the right+centrists are detached from whatever his scholarly merits ar...
I shall try to contrast what I've been thinking to what you've been thinking, but I'd like you to answer a couple of questions first. I need you to sp...
If you like. I think they're being emphasised in an oscillatory manner. To my tastes @"Banno" is trying to have his cake and eat it too - language is ...
Forgot to say, if you're trying to find your way around philosophy, check out the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Stanford Encyclopedia of...
If you're reading it in terms of who reacts to who: Schopenhauer reacts to Kant. Heidegger reacts to Kierkegaard and Kant and Schopenhauer (though I c...
If you'll permit me to be a bit socratic, when you say that they "provide the context for our talk", and that this context "grounds" the use of langua...
Seems amenable! Though @"Banno" here uses it (at least, last time we talked about it) in a deflationary manner. IE the sense of a declarative sentence...
You know as well as I do that it's unfashionable to make names work like predicates that pick out a unique object. When someone says "This rose is red...
Wasn't talking about names as definite descriptions. "Standing in" is a reference to the quote: "Words don't stand for things, they stand in for them"...
Do you have any examples of people or businesses which exemplify this leadership role "big capital" plays? Who is big capital? Is there also another f...
