  • Interesting, you wish to make the widely repeated, ancient wisdom that power corrupt into a revolutionary statement against the null hypothesis ?

    Very well, would you state your null hypothesis ?

    Perhaps something more charitable than the following

    "Power is not a problem actually, it's a matter of having the right group of elites with good and pure hearts and everything will be honky dory forever"

    @Cowbee

    Please choose your null hypothesis or provide your own

    Improved suggestions

    🔹 1. Structuralist Null Hypothesis

    “Power, in itself, is not inherently corrupting. It is the structure and incentives of a given system (such as capitalism) that determine whether power is exercised corruptly.”

    This frames corruption as a product of external conditions, not the mere possession of power.

    🔹 2. Neutral Power Hypothesis

    “Power is a neutral tool—it amplifies pre-existing tendencies in individuals or institutions, whether for good or ill.”

    This positions power as neither good nor bad, just a multiplier.

    🔹 3. Contextual Corruption Hypothesis

    “Corruption occurs not because power corrupts, but because oversight, accountability, and community control are absent.”

    Here, the claim is that power can exist without corruption if institutions around it are healthy.

    🔹 4. Power-as-Delegation Hypothesis

    “Power is not inherently corrupting when it is transparently delegated, revocable, and tied to responsibilities rather than privileges.”

    This implies a democratic or anarchist framework where corruption is a result of opacity and lack of accountability.

    🔹 5. Evolutionary Incentives Hypothesis

    “Corruption is not caused by power, but by systems that reward short-term gain over long-term cooperation.”

    This introduces a behavioral economics or game theory angle, where corruption is a rational response to poorly designed rules.

  • Understanding Bull Pussy Unflinchingly

    A Meta-Cognitive Framework for Navigating Hyper-Bullish Market Psychology

    By: [Redacted]

    Institute for Degenerate Financial Semiotics

    April 2025

    Abstract

    This paper attempts to define, decode, and derive strategic utility from the crude yet revealing expression "Bull’s Pussy", as used by market participants operating in high-volatility, momentum-driven environments — most notably, finance bros, meme traders, and risk-on opportunists. Far from mere vulgarity, this term encapsulates a specific market sentiment, behavioral signal, and strategic decision point. We explore its origin, semiotic function, embedded psychology, and applicable counter- and co-strategies.

    1. Origin & Semantics: A Vulgar Market Signal

    The term “Bull’s Pussy” emerges from the hyper-masculinized, aggressive vernacular of speculative finance subcultures — environments where sentiment is expressed less through rational analysis and more through primal, performative assertion.

    Used as an exclamation — “BULL’S PUSSY!” — it denotes:

     
            A market condition that is ravenously bullish
    
        A state of euphoric exposure — fully open, ripe for exploitation
    
        An opportunity that demands immediate, aggressive participation
    
    
      

    Important Note: The term is inherently metaphorical, not biological. Its power lies in its shock value, not its anatomical accuracy.

    1. Practitioner’s Usage: The Cry of the Risk-Addicted

    When shouted across trading desks or Discord servers, “Bull’s Pussy” functions as both call-to-action and tribal signal. It serves to:

     
            Affirm momentum
    
        Justify high-risk entry
    
        Establish fraternity among participants who know this can’t last, but ride anyway
    
    
      

    Its use is performative, ironic, and occasionally nihilistic. The practitioner does not believe in the sustainability of the bull run — only in their ability to exit before collapse.

    1. Larger Context: Participatory Delusion and Reflexive Frenzy

    The concept operates within the psychological framework of reflexivity (à la George Soros): traders act on beliefs they know are unsustainable, thus making them temporarily true.

    Here, we find a meta-cognitive paradox:

     
            One must become the herd while believing one is not the herd.
    
    
      

    The practitioner foments irrationality by participating in it. The act of buying because others are buying becomes self-validating — until, inevitably, it doesn’t.

    Thus, “Bull’s Pussy” is not a sign of market health. It is the canary in the cocaine mine — signaling the end phase of unsustainable price action.

    1. Strategic Evaluation: What to Do When You See It

    Below are strategic responses to encountering a “Bull’s Pussy” moment:

    A. The Rusher: Bigger Fool Gambit

     
            Thesis: Ride the wave. Exit before it crashes.
    
        Risk: You are the bigger fool.
    
        Edge: Speed, exit discipline, zero conviction.
    
    
      

    B. The Reaper: Contrarian Short

     
            Thesis: The higher it goes, the harder it dies.
    
        Risk: Market stays irrational longer than you stay solvent.
    
        Edge: Patience, conviction, liquidity to bleed until reversal.
    
    
      

    C. The Dealer: Liquidity Provider

     
            Thesis: Sell calls, hedge delta. Let the herd overpay.
    
        Risk: Sharp upside breaks strangle you.
    
        Edge: Volatility pricing, neutral posture.
    
    
      

    D. The Ghost: Strategic Exit

     
            Thesis: Offload into demand. Fade with grace.
    
        Risk: Left behind if bull leg continues.
    
        Edge: Emotional detachment, stealth.
    
    
      

    E. The Monk: Wait for the Fire Sale

     
            Thesis: Opportunity comes after the collapse.
    
        Risk: No gains in the melt-up.
    
        Edge: Capital preservation, clarity.
    
    
      
    1. Conclusion: The Erotic Death Drive of Markets

    “Bull’s Pussy” is more than a phrase. It is a market moment, a shared delusion, and a behavioral archetype. It encapsulates the late-stage euphoria of a bull run that knows no rational bounds — only speed, volume, and mutual fantasy.

    To act within it, one must know:

     
            What role they are playing
    
        Whether they believe the hype — or merely perform belief
    
        How fast they can exit the orgy when the music stops
    
    
      

    In this lies the true power of understanding “Bull’s Pussy” — not as crude noise, but as a coded market scream that something wild and unsustainable is happening.

    The wise trader hears it, smirks, and then chooses their weapon.

  • I think the concept of positive/negative externalities could serve as a north star in deciding the all important question of the appropriate scalevat which a discussion is taken.

    While I think we shoild try to empower and give autonomy to the local they always are within a larger community of externalities. The local should also no to inform and defer to a higher scale when their decision is "larger then them".

    The local is not thought as isolated or unaccountable, but it is given preference as a scale. We want the local to choose how to live in harmony with the whole and their neighbours.

    All this is well but it would be really easy to fall back into the grooves of individualist isolationnist and collectivist absolutist.

    I don't think the ideal exist at the middle of these extremes but rather toward tge lower scale without bottoming out

  • Authoritarianism and imperialism, concentration of power are the root cause, money is just a symbol of power, under stalinist russia this nefarious corrupting power had another symbol, shape but this society was just as helpless toward this tendency of power, you can see the end point of passive demobilisation and assassination of the few how dare oppose it today in Russia.

    I think there needs to be constant pressure of deterritoroalisation, of putting decision and responsibility in the hands of the people, always at the smallest scale that it can be realistically pushed down.

    And that's not the individual if that's not an individual matter. The level at which decisionnal responsibility is dependant on the context of tgat decision rather than agglomerated bodies of decision when power naturallies tries to concentrate.

    It should always be easy for lower echelons of power and locality to repatriate a delegated aspect of their life.

    (Then I stuffed this line of thinking into chatgpt to take it further)

  • They've been floating in impunity around the world for 75 years. It's pretty clear any serious war will start on day one with 5 of them sunk.

    The only reason they're not corals reefs already is a polite gentleman's agreement to "lets not really war except against the poors" for about 40 years.

    They're so unlikely to survive that battle planners should not waste time countering them after day 2. I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of them become scuba diving tourist destinations in the red sea before the real war even starts.

    They are a monument to cathedral thinking.
