The striking similarities between the human race & a ridiculously lucky trader.

(A long THREAD)

#savetheearth

The trader starts from a relatively humble background (Before starting to dominate the planet, the humans we just a bunch of weak, frail & insecure apes).

The markets (randomly) turn to a regime that massively favors the trader's trading system (The "Holocene")

The trader obviously gets spectacular success & is gulled into believing that he is some sort of "THE CHOSEN ONE" who cracked open the markets and turned them into an ATM machine for himself (The agricultural revolution and onset of mythical philosophies started putting us,

humans at the center of the universe. Also the start of isolation from the ecosystem & its exploitation in general)

As the trader keeps getting richer, still thanks to the particular market regime, he becomes absolutely ignorant of the underlying risks of financial markets

and becomes even more self absorbed, pompous & greedy. (The advent of modern societies and capitalism)

The market slowly shows (obvious) signs of an incoming shift in behavior, but the trader is

just too "big" to really care about it. He feels he "is" the market! He even deploying even more capital into his system. (Our current state. Crystal clear signs of an unavoidable planetary crisis. Our

strong affinity towards maintaining the so called "status quo", no matter what the costs. Our feeling of "what's the worst that could happen!" Or even worse is, "FU*K THIS! Time to party even harder!")

Now, I am no future teller, but I guess the direction of the drift is pretty obvious. What happens next to the trader is fairly predictable, right?

I sincerely urge you to wake-up. Or, at the very least, spare a couple of moments to really think about your life, the life of your children, your family & the generations to follow.

YOU SURELY WONT SAVE THE WORLD TODAY, BUT SEEDS OF INTENTIONS EVENTUALLY BECOME THE ROOTS OF CHANGE!
