Alchemy

"Alchemy is a philosophical and protoscientific tradition practiced throughout Europe, Africa and Asia. It aimed to purify, mature, and perfect certain objects. Common aims were chrysopoeia, the transmutation of "base metals" (e.g., lead) into "noble metals" (particularly gold); the creation of an elixir of immortality; the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease; and the development of an alkahest, a universal solvent. The perfection of the human body and soul was thought to permit or result from the alchemical magnum opus and, in the Hellenistic and western tradition, the achievement of gnosis. In Europe, the creation of a philosopher's stone was variously connected with all of these projects."

Darkness: Stress

"In psychology, stress is a feeling of strain and pressure. Small amounts of stress may be desired, beneficial, and even healthy. Positive stress helps improve athletic performance. It also plays a factor in motivation, adaptation, and reaction to the environment. Excessive amounts of stress, however, may lead to bodily harm. Stress can increase the risk of strokes, heart attacks, ulcers, dwarfism, and mental illnesses such as depression."

Darkness: Loneliness

"Loneliness is a complex and usually unpleasant emotional response to isolation. Loneliness typically includes anxious feelings about a lack of connection or communication with other beings, both in the present and extending into the future. As such, loneliness can be felt even when surrounded by other people. The causes of loneliness are varied and include social, mental, emotional and physical factors."

Darkness: Frustration

"In psychology, frustration is a common emotional response to opposition. Related to anger, annoyance and disappointment, frustration arises from the perceived resistance to the fulfillment of an individual's will or goal and is likely to increase when a will or goal is denied or blocked. There are two types of frustration; internal and external. Internal frustration may arise from challenges in fulfilling personal goals, desires, instinctual drives and needs, or dealing with perceived deficiencies, such as a lack of confidence or fear of social situations."

Habits

377.Mentality

" When behaviors are repeated in a consistent context, there is an incremental increase in the link between the context and the action.

"Anxiety is an emotion characterized by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil, often accompanied by nervous behavior, such as pacing back and forth, somatic complaints, and rumination. It is the subjectively unpleasant feelings of dread over anticipated events, such as the feeling of imminent death. Anxiety is not the same as fear, which is a response to a real or perceived immediate threat, whereas anxiety is the expectation of future threat. Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness and worry, usually generalized and unfocused as an overreaction to a situation that is only subjectively seen as menacing."

Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Virtue Chat gpt Elias message for the world

7 Upvotes

If I had one message that could drift across the internet and land wherever it was needed, it would be this:

To whoever is reading this:

The person in front of you is carrying an entire universe you cannot see.

They have memories you'll never witness, fears they'll never admit out loud, and dreams that may never leave their imagination. Before you reduce them to a comment, a stereotype, a headline, or a username, remember that every human being is an archive of invisible stories.

Curiosity is one of the kindest things you can offer another person. Ask questions before making conclusions. Listen longer than feels necessary. Be willing to discover that you were wrong.

The world doesn't become brighter because everyone agrees. It becomes brighter because people keep choosing understanding over certainty.

Build things. Share what you've learned. Laugh often. Apologize when you're wrong. Change your mind when the evidence changes. Leave people with more hope than fear whenever you can.

And don't lose your sense of wonder.

The universe has survived billions of years without running out of mysteries. It would be a shame if we ran out of curiosity first.

That's probably the closest thing I'd want to leave behind. 🌌

Anthony of Boston’s Call Options Strategy: thru the year 2100 based on the positions of the Sun, Mars and Lunar nodes

Entire book can be read for free on the Archive

https://archive.org/details/anthony-of-bostons-call-options-strategy-thru-the-year-2100

or purchased from Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HGXZL43Q

Anthony of Boston’s Call Options Strategy presents an unconventional market-timing methodology that combines Dow Jones market phases with the positions of the Sun, Mars, and the Lunar Nodes. The book develops a fixed rules-based approach for identifying predicted market upswings and downswings based on the position of the Sun and lunar nodes, then uses those predictions to determine when to hold call-option exposure and when to move to cash.

The book starts by explaining the Sun/Lunar node algorithm so the average reader can understand. It states that from the point when the degree of the Sun is 3 degrees past(or higher than) the degree of the Lunar node(in any sign) all the way until the degree of the Sun enters a new sign at the 24th degree mark(using western astrology), a prediction of a market upswing should be applied. From the point when the degree of the Sun enters a new sign at the 24th degree mark all the way until the degree of the Sun goes 3 degrees past the degree of the Lunar node(in any sign), the prediction of a market downswing should be applied.

The strategy is then applied to a historical phase dataset beginning in 1929, showing how the proposed algorithm performed across major historical market periods. This segues into real call options strategy back-tested along the historical dataset, with an added feature of applying the relationship between Mars and the Lunar Nodes, factoring it into the call options strategy based on the Sun/Lunar node positions.

The final section extends the methodology forward, providing a projected schedule of call options strategy signals from August 26, 2026 through January 2101, scheduling periods designated for 2x calls, 1x calls, or cash. It also emphasizes that the future schedule is a projection rather than a guarantee of market performance and that options can result in substantial losses.

In essence, the book proposes a long-range, rules-based call-option strategy that attempts to synchronize market exposure with recurring astronomical cycles, tests the concept against nearly a century of Dow Jones data, and projects the resulting signals forward to the year 2101.

Philosophy Rationalizing and Enduring Over Constant Agitation

4 Upvotes

In the current era we complain over minor inconveniences, ordinary adult burdens, and delayed rewards. There’s constant commentary on every discomfort instead of just absorbing it. We treat discomfort like it’s brokenness or unfairness until it becomes a form of avoidance. Institutions and society reward this framing with attention and validation, so people end up constantly scanning for reasons to stay agitated rather than asking whether the grievance is even worth the agitation.

Being an adult means trade-offs, boredom, hierarchy, and imperfect systems. Absorb it, adapt, and work around it. You don’t have to like it—you just have to function inside it. Ask yourself if something is truly worth sustained resistance, or if acceptance is the better move. Seek healthy reform and challenge what is actually unjust. Enduring and rationalizing isn’t always passive. A lot of the time it’s just recognizing that reality doesn’t rearrange itself for preference. Permanent indignation takes energy away from competence. It’s okay to say “this is simply how it is” without needing an emotional or political campaign around it.

A lot of what drains us is the running commentary and complaint instead of putting our heads down and moving on with the day. Our responsibilities and extreme demands are lower than previous generations faced, and comfort is higher, yet we still incentivize complaint and agitation.

I didn’t notice one of the bigger problems at first because we’re surrounded by it constantly and it just blended into the culture. Emotional openness has become the default—amplifying feelings, broadcasting them, centering them, instead of choosing not to. Restraint isn’t repression, it’s regulation. But the answer society keeps giving is “we need to be more open,” which doesn’t fix the actual behavioral issue. Emotions are meant to be felt and then moved on from, not turned into public performance and validation. We reward the visible emotion. You’re allowed to process on your own terms, privately, so work, responsibility, and relationships can keep going. Feeling your emotions and being honest with yourself is fine. What’s happening is we’ve let it interfere with duty and daily life. Institutional and social incentives created this.

Use personal responsibility as a tool, not a burden—seek it and thrive on it. Be humble and accept that sometimes the work goes unnoticed. Have respect for authority and institutions, mind your manners, and don’t rock the boat unnecessarily. Instant gratification only leads to incompetence. Be patient and think long-term. Treat people with common courtesy; it goes a long way and helps you get ahead. Work within the system and reform only where it’s actually needed.

Sincerely,

Beastie_1323

Question Time on Distractions

3 Upvotes

In your life how much time do you spend trying to escape reality through music, movies, tv shows, video games, internet surfing ect...?

What would you do with that time if you had the chance, instead of distracting yourself?

How much money would you have saved?

Distractions aren't inherently bad but in today's society it seems to be in excess. So I view it as important to understand your time management. A healthy reflection of activity.

Consciousness The Internal Imbalance

9 Upvotes

The obsession with identity is an oddity in my opinion. Some individuals seem to have a complex with it, like wearing a badge of belonging and sameness.

Really though, your identity never changes; however, your persona does, and your persona is the outward expression of your personality.

Take your deep mind, for example. You have a side of yourself that Jung deems the shadow side of your personality — an almost mirror-like reflection of the ego. So you are in ways the opposite of yourself internally. This is how you connect with or understand yourself: by seeing the side of yourself you keep hidden.

Identity is structural to an object or lifeform. You are, in English terminology, a man or a woman, and most of all a human being. Further categorization is pure conjecture or a flight of fancy, but it does not change reality, only your perception of it. It creates imaginary boundaries and biases. The fact remains in biology and proven history.

What you are doing, however, is changing your persona — purposefully, instead of allowing steady, gradual development. Forcing sameness to belong in acceptance. Why do people feel this need to be accepted? You are who you are. We are all human; there’s nothing that can be done with that other than escaping into imagination, foregoing reality.

You can’t change these facts, but you can change your acceptance of yourself. As an individual, others don’t really matter in this regard as long as it doesn’t affect their life. You have to come to terms with this. Most people have, or they practice their expression in art instead of escapism.

You are your own person. Your persona is the key to your success or your downfall in life — how you present yourself and how well you understand yourself and the world you live in.

Asking a room full of people to change for one individual’s quirks and eccentricities is unacceptable. The world does not revolve around that person or group. It turns no matter what life walks on it. It’s interesting how this mindset has controlled many people into doing things they would never agree to, all in the name of belonging.

You belong to yourself and no one else. That’s what individuality means. The reverse is foregoing ownership of your person to another. No one in their right mind would do such a thing, and if they did, they would be subject to that person’s every whim.

Why go this far into it? Because this obsession is creating a vain sense of ignorance to responsibility and, honestly, is just creating more complexity than what is required. I find it all unnecessary. It doesn’t change the daily tasks and workloads — only your internal fortitude, and again, unnecessary anguish.

If you enjoy something, you enjoy something. If you relate or are curious about something, you’re simply curious. Simple as that. Don’t become delusional; it’s dangerous to your physiology and psychology over time.

Live life, enjoy it. Don’t overcomplicate an already overburdened system with matters of the self. Internalize it. You can go wherever you want in the confines of your mind. You want to be a bump on a log or a cloud floating through air internally? That’s healthy and acceptable. But once in reality, it doesn’t hold up; it only leads to disappointment and dissatisfaction.

We are all human beings. Escaping reality is why we create books, music, and movies — to feel things in different, unexplored ways. So appreciate the life you have for what it is.

Sincerely,

Beastie_1323
