Perception vs Reality

Our journey of investigation has finally led us to the most critical realization of all: Mankind lacks the capacity to recognize the difference between truth and falsehood.

- Power vs Force, David Hawkins

It always amazes me how women treat me better when I wear contact lenses and a necklace. I haven’t changed at all, they just perceive me as being cooler.

Investing is all about perceiving potential, what few others see at the moment.

Some men spend inordinate time and energy poring over candlestick patterns, technical indicators, fundamental indicators, public sentiment, getting connected with special people to determine what coin/stock is going to pump next. The latecomers to the pump are, of course, the bagholders.

Women spend inordinate time and energy in learning how to read men, testing them (with the famous ‘shit test’) and gossiping with other women to avoid red flags before investing in a man. They lament how all the good men are always taken – they’ve already ‘pumped’.

Side note: only young women shit test. As they grow older, they have more under-the-radar ways by which to judge a man, so they don’t need such crude and obvious measures.
