Reflection

Interesting to see everything I’m writing about coming true. I’ll just first say, it’s great to be back and be the wizard working through the market with my weird mind. I think what makes my own writing interesting to read is I build signals and patterns out of everything and anything. The math ends up adding up, there’s a reason why my gap down alerts have a 100% hit rate like the alert I gave on XOM 0.00%↑ yesterday. I think in order to be creative by definition you have to be unique. You can create a replication of something that exists. Its in the word creative - create. Create is a word from Latin which originally was creat or to form out of nothing.

This is where I really struggle philosophically, where do my thoughts that I am creating really come from? Are they coming from nothing? Or do they form in our brain, and what makes my thoughts so unique that they some how create an identity of what my soul is?

…I don’t have an answer for that, but every time I seem to press it turns into well I can’t justly say that my soul has anything to do with my thoughts and I don’t really know or understand where my thoughts originate. There is just a whole world of mystery that I will likely never understand.

Perhaps neuroscience may aid some answers, but will it really make us more human to know it? We gave our species name the title of sapiens which means wise. Funny for us to do but hey if we’re the ones naming it, I’d give ourselves the best names too. Yet…we often forsake the pursuit of wisdom. I feel no more wise today than I did 600 years
