      1. just had one of those moments when you are seized by the present day and it scares the shit out of you. it was a youtube ad that said (paraphrased) "don't know anything about trading? sign up to our platform and use our automated trading algorithms"

      the "AI can substitute for understanding of a topic" fallacy-salespitch combined with "now is the perfect time to gamble your savings"... it really gives me "the market is going to crash and real people are going to lose a lot of money" feelings

    same feeling, tbh, that I got seeing an ad saying smth like "if you're seeing ads for Bitcoin on the Underground, that's when you know it's time to invest" and thought that the presence of that ad meant the exact opposite

      anyway, maybe it's fine, maybe this is just the economy now. like, "property prices" are also an example of something massively inflated due to ordinary people getting really into speculation with their spare capital, and I still bought a flat.
