OYT cr. Never consume Capital to imitate people whose future earnings are protected by Clique.

Winners can treat consumption as a temporary reduction in Net Worth because they correctly assume future Labor Income will replenish it. Losers cannot. A Loser spending $5k on a vacation is not merely consuming $5k, he may be consuming the last $5k he will ever earn at his current wage. One bad manager, one reorg, one AI implementation, one Interview where the hiring committee decides he has Weird Energy and the human-capital asset gets marked from $2m to approximately $11/hr overnight. Losers need grotesquely high savings rates and low fixed costs. Paid-off trailer, old Japanese car, Treasury Bonds, no subscriptions, Games purchased six years late. $280,000k @ 4.5% is $12,600k/year. Get burn below that and suddenly the precarious livelihood ceases to matter. The guy who cannot get another respectable Job no longer needs one. Winners think this is deprivation because they have never priced career discontinuity correctly. They model salary as an annuity. Losers know it is a Callable Bond and the Employer owns the Call..

Honestly my situation is much better now because I don’t have to commute or deal with high stress fire drills. But if I asked Claude about my salary it would be like “you are in the top blah blah percentage”

It’s like talking to Redditors, that automatically think that being above the median or towards the “top” is somehow luxuriant and decadent.

This is why the idea of an "ascended Loser" is also a Joke among people fully in-the-know on clique theory. The term gets thrown around, but we know it isn't real. Only Nerds can Ascend, through Engineering.

Nerds can Transcend. Losers like Hitler can Ascend imo but are ultimately doomed. In classical Clique Theory orthodoxy, Nixon and Cheney were only High Losers. There are very few Ascended Losers. You seem to argue that they can’t ascend at all. I mean in our world it’s a challenge. Like phenotype alone basically makes Bezos/Gates/Zuckerberg more ignominious than some random Jock. Those are Nerds iirc but still.

I think in classical Clique Theory there is endless room for disputes over edge cases. Here are you introducing a distinction between Ascension and Transcenddence? Seems like a Nerd can Transcend because technical competence in Engineering can eventually become so overwhelming that Clique judgment loses jurisdiction. A Loser can still Ascend, but it isn't Transcendence, he still remains Loser-coded and lives in ignominy regardless of fate. This seems reasonable irl afaict, but I'm not sure it lives in classical Doctrine. IIRC I remember at one point you used to argue that Losers can really only obtain value through obtaining Disciples. Is this still the case?

Please help. I must know which Clique I belong to.

Mostly Nerd with a bit of Jock. Most of my friends studied CS or other Engineering fields. But I also spent a lot of time in the gym and people thought I was on steroids, so that's where the Jock part comes in.

Largely the same. I was in all the advanced/AP classes with other Nerds and hung out with them (although I thought most of them were Lame), but I was also on the basketball team for a year and started lifting my sophomore year. In college I found Nerds that I actually liked but had some Jock friends from the gym too.

I’ve always wanted to be the people who do the new pavement. A lot of times people don’t even realize they could use a resurfacing.

There was a tideland lot for sale down the street from where I live. It was like $10k. I think I could park a boat on it and live free. A regular tie off is permitted up to 40 feet.
