@mhoye huh: the stock value between yesterday & today does not appear to have appreciated this blog post

[mhoye@cosocial.ca]

@eigen I guess he didn't intentionally supercharge the value enough.

@floe @mhoye that sentence is more glib even than what most LLMs put out.

I feel like whoever wrote this is the kind of person who looks up to Peter Thiel.

@mhoye This is a category error; truth and belief are non-goals. They don't care who believes it, only that journalists publish it verbatim (they will) so that the statement can be referenced in later defensive court filings.

@mhoye @wendynather I disagree. There are a dozen or so board members and a few activist investors who believe this.

@mhoye Truth is not the purpose. This is Ritual: they perform Ritual so the stock market will provide them with Grace. The amount of Grace is dependent on the quality of the Ritual.
