We Created tasty So You Don't Have To Watch Them
We're unique. Or maybe special is a better way of putting it. Unconventional. We take the other side of what the general public thinks, says or does.

Financial Media Is One Big Conspiracy Theory | Truth or Skepticism
Was it a single shooter that killed Kennedy or were there more? What about the moon landing? Conspiracy theories have and always will exist.

At the same time, technology is what allows us to quickly disprove those types of people. On this week's episode, Tom and Dylan discuss conspiracy theories and how they play out in the market.

Are You Be Too Rich?
If Patrick Mahomes were told the most money he could make playing football is $1 million, would he quit? If a net worth limit were imposed, what would be the repercussions? There's an argument to be made that the pursuit of money has diminishing returns. It doesn't lead to greater happiness. It does create wealth inequality and inflation. A new socioeconomic theory is emerging that some sort of net worth limitation may improve society. Does the idea have merit? Tune in to hear Tom and Dylan debate the concept.

Big Tech Has Gone Too Far... Here Is Why
Last week, news was made when a quadriplegic man with a chip implanted in his brain allowed him to manipulate the chess pieces on a computer game. Moving the pieces on a chessboard are one thing, but the implications go far beyond games. The potential for what these chips can do is virtually unlimited. That may seem fantastic in some instances, but what are the implications? What kind of personal control would be sacrificed? Tune in this week as Tom and Dylan debate the future of human chipping.

Just because you got a vaccine
does not mean the pandemic is over.
Unless your intention is to restrict travel, it’s not over until the world is at herd immunity. We’re not anywhere near that, as 193 countries have not had a single vaccine yet.
Don’t worry, it’s a typical mistake of a first world mindset to think that because I got mine the problem is over. But like global climate change, everyone affects everyone else.
Vulgar and superficial analysis
Sosnoff is a moron. He doesn’t understand the basics of economics, so he has zero insight into the circumstances that drive the movement of the market. He lives in an upside down world where stock prices are the key to understanding the economy, rather than the other way around. The market is always right. If it’s in a bubble, it’s right. When it pops it’s right. Ratigan pointed this out to Sosnoff when he idiotically claimed that the FED has zero power and the markets have already “priced everything in.” Instead of real analysis, you will get superficial mathematical probability models and platitudes about the omniscient “market.” Listen to someone who analyzes fundamentals, because idiots like Sosnoff are going to get crushed when high interest rates pull the rug out from under their overvalued stocks. You have nothing to learn from this charlatan, and a lot to lose.
Extraordinary
Always enjoyable and informative this wonderful back forth between two smart articulate people. Enjoy every minute. Thanks
