New teddy books incoming. Has there been anymore digging into the old books? Seems to me like any discussion about hidden meanings of…. Just about anything from Ryan has been suppressed. I fully trust in him but seems like he can’t really “speak” to apes anymore.
I wonder why @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works and @Mojojojo1993@lemmy.world don't want us reading the Teddy books...
Persecution complex. Also some cult shit.
Read it all you like, you nutjob. It's just a children's book. Nobody's trying to SuPpReSs tHe TrUtH by telling you, it's just a children's book. You shouldn't expect secret messages... anywhere, really, but very obviously for example in a book about money aimed at the reading level of literal children.
What you're encouraging is the same as Qanon nonsense. "Guided apophenia." Making a hobby out of confusing one another. Anything - anything at all - can be twisted and theorycrafted and built up into a grand conspiracy. Counter-evidence just becomes proof of nefarious vindicative whatever. It's a bad-faith reading of reality, and the nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer. It's unfalsifiable. If you think that's the same as "not false," apparently you're in the right place.
You can call me whatever you want, but you can't make me sell. 😀
I don't care.
We're not even talking about that - we're talking about a book, for children. when you start putting red string on corkboard over children's literature... people worry about you. Not the stock. Not your ownership of the stock. You.
The fact you insist on treating all criticism as cartoonish villainy going 'grr! you should sell! my dastardly plans depend on it!!!' is part of this cult shit.
Nobody gives two shits about this stock except you lot.
All anyone's told you is that it does not matter. Buy twice as much for all I care. Apparently that's getting cheaper by the day. Extra-double-super-secret buy it, if that makes you happy. But when you form an identity and a community around convincing yourselves it's going to explode in value, that's a recipe for mutual delusion. "Escalation of commitment" is a psychological vulnerability. It's a tendency to reject contrary evidence, to dig in, because being mistaken feels bad.
And it's why you're probably just going to parrot the same thought-terminating cliche like I'm not describing exactly what you're doing and why it's irrational behavior.
And the White House. And the Treasury Department [0]. And 25,000 employees [1]. We just made a blockbuster movie [2]. The chairman of Interactive Brokers said, "We have come dangerously close to the collapse of the entire system," [3].

But you do care. Because you keep reading and replying to our posts. You (or someone like you) is going to reply to this message. And every message you write increases our engagement, growing our presence on Lemmy.
'Proving us wrong spreads our message,' says every cult.
I've been in two threads. This one's about a children's book. It is explicitly looking for secret messages... in a children's book. The fact we're still talking isn't some proof of obsession; the contents of the discussion are what matter.
I care about you. Collectively and individually. Denialist attitudes are dangerous because they're pluripotent. Any bastard can exploit people who've been trained to reject all criticism as an attack on the ingroup. Keep your binkie for all I care; making an identity out of contrarian obsession is what's bad.
Wow. You guys really do not know what success looks like.
Meanwhile, back at the point: this is about a book. For children. It is a children's book.
And OP thinks it must contain a secret code about... something. A delusion you seem to agree with. Not sure why else you think 'there's no secret, it's a children's book' means 'they want to silence the truth!'
That kind of wackadoodle thinking is why you can't distinguish 'owning this stock now does not matter' from 'nothing interesting has ever happened to this stock.' Expecting the same actions to repeat the same event without the underlying complexity that made it possible is superstition at best and a textbook cargo cult at worse.
It's that dog who found a whole pie in a bush one time and keeps checking the magic pie bush every day. It's island tribes building wooden air-control towers and praying for WWII aircraft to fly in again. It's not a belief-set built on rational expectation... that's why you sneer about "engagement" instead of caring about the argument. You have made this into an empty ritual.
