Is silver shorted? Yes
But the whole story of course, going back decades, is that there is something like a conspiracy to artificially suppress silver prices. And now the Redditors promise to uncover it
This is from 2010, for example

My latest piece on how financial markets are breaking apart into the same alternative realities that already rule US politics
city-journal.org/gamestop-and-t…
Question I would like to ask is whether Bitcoin is the historical answer to this problem. How can you prevent any of these alternative realities from becoming dominant? The only way is to remove the power centers from which it can rule. Decentralization follows from “truth wars”
But doesn’t Bitcoin rely on truth? Yes, but it’s a manufactured truth (inviolability and acceptance have been manufactured through proof of stake) and thus appropriate for an age where truth does not naturally exist

One day someone will have to tell me why the EU could not have bought the vaccine formula rather than doses and built 25 factories across Europe
How this was done is certainly the most vivid example of policy stupidity in my lifetime

So not 8% but actually 6.3%!
Statistically insignificant of course (still curious where the 8% came from)

How Trump Made the Fantasy Real. The Capitol Hill riot tore the veil between the right’s dreamworld and reality.
nytimes.com/2021/01/09/opi…
What I find interesting is that Right and Left share the fantasy. The Right lives the fiction that it is working to overturn the system, the Left actually believes it. They both move to a fictional world, of coups, conspiracies, resistance, etc. Both insist it is the real world
“Under a Democratic administration, there will be attempts to deploy law enforcement like ghostbusters crossed with pre-crime units, trying to prevent the very-online from impinging on the real.”

Is it orientalist to speak of fundamental differences in the way different cultures think about the world? No, it is not. In fact, those who are ready to dismiss this possibility out of hand are the real orientalists. The Black Box: A Theory of China brunomacaes.substack.com/p/the-black-bo…
There is a fascinating example (assuming I have it right) of what I discuss above: 空心. This would literally be “sky mind”. A mind like empty sky, what in the West would be called consciousness, but 空心 you can directly experience through meditation, not a metaphysical concept
