New teddy books incoming. Has there been anymore digging into the old books? Seems to me like any discussion about hidden meanings of…. Just about anything from Ryan has been suppressed. I fully trust in him but seems like he can’t really “speak” to apes anymore.

      I’m xxxx holder and everything drs’d except some shares stuck from my brokeragelink account. That’s not changing. But direct communication from rc to us IS interesting to me. I’m sure by this point, we would see what clues he’s dropped from the first book set that have coincided with events. But all that digging is buried. There can’t be NO Reason for the book, or just made to collect money from apes. He’s calculated. Their is definitely a why. And also it doesn’t matter if some are interest or not. There is a reason tho, I’m sure.

        @smallcutfart @Mojojojo1993
        I’m xxx DRSed, must be frustrating for RC , presumably he is pushing for an investigation and it makes sense that he would adopt other means of communication so as to keep things clean for lawyers on his end. Or maybe it’s all foil and he’s just a straight shooter. Money to buy whiskey/actions speak louder kind of guy. Don’t know, don’t care, in for a penny, in for a pound.

        But that’s the tinfoil talking. Maybe there’s a secret code. Be pretty risky though. Whole thing blows up but on a technicality that RC has been sending out secret codes in a separate company.

        I don’t buy it. I think he just wants books. Bit too much tinfoil going around

    My guy. You’re trying to Da Vinci Code some children’s books.

    What would it look like, if it looked like you were doing some cult shit? What would be different?

        Persecution complex. Also some cult shit.

        Read it all you like, you nutjob. It’s just a children’s book. Nobody’s trying to SuPpReSs tHe TrUtH by telling you, it’s just a children’s book. You shouldn’t expect secret messages… anywhere, really, but very obviously for example in a book about money aimed at the reading level of literal children.

        What you’re encouraging is the same as Qanon nonsense. “Guided apophenia.” Making a hobby out of confusing one another. Anything - anything at all - can be twisted and theorycrafted and built up into a grand conspiracy. Counter-evidence just becomes proof of nefarious vindicative whatever. It’s a bad-faith reading of reality, and the nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer. It’s unfalsifiable. If you think that’s the same as “not false,” apparently you’re in the right place.

          Persecution complex […] cult shit […] you nutjob […] Qanon […] apophenia […] grand conspiracy […] bad faith.

          You can call me whatever you want, but you can’t make me sell. 😀

            I don’t care.

            We’re not even talking about that - we’re talking about a book, for children. when you start putting red string on corkboard over children’s literature… people worry about you. Not the stock. Not your ownership of the stock. You.

            The fact you insist on treating all criticism as cartoonish villainy going ‘grr! you should sell! my dastardly plans depend on it!!!’ is part of this cult shit.

            Nobody gives two shits about this stock except you lot.

            All anyone’s told you is that it does not matter. Buy twice as much for all I care. Apparently that’s getting cheaper by the day. Extra-double-super-secret buy it, if that makes you happy. But when you form an identity and a community around convincing yourselves it’s going to explode in value, that’s a recipe for mutual delusion. “Escalation of commitment” is a psychological vulnerability. It’s a tendency to reject contrary evidence, to dig in, because being mistaken feels bad.

            And it’s why you’re probably just going to parrot the same thought-terminating cliche like I’m not describing exactly what you’re doing and why it’s irrational behavior.

                ‘Proving us wrong spreads our message,’ says every cult.

                I’ve been in two threads. This one’s about a children’s book. It is explicitly looking for secret messages… in a children’s book. The fact we’re still talking isn’t some proof of obsession; the contents of the discussion are what matter.

                I care about you. Collectively and individually. Denialist attitudes are dangerous because they’re pluripotent. Any bastard can exploit people who’ve been trained to reject all criticism as an attack on the ingroup. Keep your binkie for all I care; making an identity out of contrarian obsession is what’s bad.

                Budget - $30 million
                Box office - $20.1 million

                Wow. You guys really do not know what success looks like.

                Meanwhile, back at the point: this is about a book. For children. It is a children’s book.

                And OP thinks it must contain a secret code about… something. A delusion you seem to agree with. Not sure why else you think ‘there’s no secret, it’s a children’s book’ means ‘they want to silence the truth!

                That kind of wackadoodle thinking is why you can’t distinguish ‘owning this stock now does not matter’ from ‘nothing interesting has ever happened to this stock.’ Expecting the same actions to repeat the same event without the underlying complexity that made it possible is superstition at best and a textbook cargo cult at worse.

                It’s that dog who found a whole pie in a bush one time and keeps checking the magic pie bush every day. It’s island tribes building wooden air-control towers and praying for WWII aircraft to fly in again. It’s not a belief-set built on rational expectation… that’s why you sneer about “engagement” instead of caring about the argument. You have made this into an empty ritual.
