so my portfolio might slowly shift towards 50:50 stock:gold

2018-02-07 00:27:07 UTC  

Yeah gold is a pretty solid idea

2018-02-07 00:27:22 UTC  

If the USD crashes, your gold doesn't

2018-02-07 00:28:00 UTC  

stop spamming your shit

2018-02-07 00:28:19 UTC  

I guess the real meme would be to get a secure warehouse and stockpile oil and iron

2018-02-07 00:28:42 UTC  

why is that a good idea

2018-02-07 00:28:59 UTC  

Well it's not a "good idea" in a functional economy

2018-02-07 00:29:23 UTC  

But if there is a total global economic collapse, you could rely on oil and iron to be valuable still

2018-02-07 00:29:38 UTC  

what data re: economic collapses have you looked at to draw that conclusion

2018-02-07 00:30:03 UTC  

Gotta have oil to fuel tanks and aircraft

2018-02-07 00:30:11 UTC  

that is rationale, not data

2018-02-07 00:30:18 UTC  

IIRC tanks are made from steel

2018-02-07 00:30:28 UTC  

Yeah it's not proven

2018-02-07 00:31:31 UTC  

Gold should keep its value as a currency in 99% of situations

2018-02-07 00:32:24 UTC  

how is it not proven

2018-02-07 00:32:33 UTC  

how hard have you searched for data

2018-02-07 00:32:42 UTC  

Not hard lol

2018-02-07 00:32:43 UTC  

what data on the subject even exists?

2018-02-07 00:32:46 UTC  

so there you go

2018-02-07 00:32:49 UTC  

that's why your idea sucks

2018-02-07 00:32:58 UTC  

you could even be right but you would still be wrong because you did such a bad job thinking it through

2018-02-07 00:33:08 UTC  

It seems logical

2018-02-07 00:33:15 UTC  

lots of stuff seems logical

2018-02-07 00:33:25 UTC  

communism seems logical to communists

2018-02-07 00:33:47 UTC  

If everything falls apart, the most valuable resources should be the things that are necessary for war machines

2018-02-07 00:33:58 UTC  

see you strike me as half extremely kickass and mentally flexible, but half naive and unexamined

2018-02-07 00:34:01 UTC  

much like another friend of mine

2018-02-07 00:34:10 UTC  

I'm trying to slowly help you understand that so you can be fully kickass

2018-02-07 00:34:34 UTC  

I'm not saying anyone is supposed to go and do this

2018-02-07 00:34:51 UTC  

I just think it would be the ultimate "safe" investment

2018-02-07 00:35:18 UTC  

Just a theory of mine

2018-02-07 00:35:29 UTC  

okay

2018-02-07 00:35:33 UTC  

now we're getting somewhere

2018-02-07 00:35:37 UTC  

yeah it is a good theory, I agree

2018-02-07 00:38:20 UTC  

I enjoy "theorycrafting"

2018-02-07 00:38:39 UTC  

yeah it's great to do

2018-02-07 00:38:59 UTC  

that's one of the reasons I think you are real smart, you seem like you are always fiddling with ideas and do not seem to care whether or not other people socially approve of the ideas you come up with

2018-02-07 00:39:51 UTC  

It's a benefit of not participating in society lol

2018-02-07 00:40:21 UTC  

Since I don't really need to fit in to keep a job or anything

2018-02-07 00:42:22 UTC  

I think I have an 'abstract inteligence' more so than a normal intelligence

2018-02-07 02:01:19 UTC  

yeah
