Gold.
F-ck gold. It's worthless.
Who's mad already?!
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Mostly. I just can't help

But doesn’t the Holy Bible sanction the ownership of slaves?
There are no guarantees there’s a “you” or “we”, if you take the skeptic tack. There are credible theories of neuroscience where consciousness has no agency. There’s no need for personal continuity to match observations, i.e. you tell yourself and other people a story of personal continuity for social purposes, but there’s no need for that story to be true as opposed to “dying” every time you are unconscious and telling a story when you are not, and credible science shows personal memories are unreliable. So why worry about death before its time when we don’t know anything? But if one does, the Romans said it well with NFFNSNC. Could put that on one’s tombstone, but if one internalized the meaning, why care about one’s tombstone? But even with a static allocation to gold, and everything meaningless, gold articles are must click for the jokes.
(that should read “you” or “we” in the sense commonly used as you can be reasonably assured you have some brain activity when you are experiencing things, just it might not mean what you think it does)
If there’s one thing there isn’t enough of, it’s jokes. Looking back at my own life, jokes are what have kept me going much of the time, specially the ability to laugh at myself. If only there was a ticker symbol.
The only thing that would make gold better in this crazy environment would be gold in the shape of tulips.
