Edward Bernays

Edward Louis Bernays (November 22, 1891 – March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-born American pioneer in public relations, widely recognized as the father of the profession for developing systematic methods to shape public opinion through psychological manipulation. As the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Bernays drew on psychoanalytic principles to influence unconscious desires, applying them in propaganda efforts during World War I for the U.S. Committee on Public Information and later in commercial campaigns for corporations.

The True Nature Of Scandinavian "Socialism"


The Scandinavian model is often misrepresented as a humane and efficient form of socialism. In reality, it is a distinctly coercive and oligarchic form of statism. While the system preserves the formal legality of civilized concepts like human rights, justice, and private property, in practice, it operates on a Marxist-fascist foundation: it systematically violates the individual through taxation, regulation, and bureaucratic entrapment—leaving only a small, politically-connected class permitted to engage in a narrow, state-sanctioned form of commerce.

Ah, this ZH article is not choke-full of trash links, for once!
...or, an IPO is a cash grab. It's free money - somebody will *buy* the stock, and the monies will go to the stock issuer. The valuation doesn't matter, disconnect from reality doesn't matter - let's slap a number on it, and public-offer it, so that the public can spend their money on it.

Nobody is complaining that a company with zero revenue, or a company with zero profit, should be trading at zero value. Thousands of zombie companies don't mind. They just incur more debt, and keep chugging along, often at astronomical valuations.

In fact, Anthropic would be foolish to not do the same. So the only guestion from this article is the valuation: it says, $2T? Well... The price action doesn't have to be connected to reality, there are many mechanics that allows powers that be to influence the price. Which is to say, even if the price is not justified, doesn't mean that the price will fall.

And even if it does fall - who would lose? Not the stock issuer! You would lose, if you buy in at an unfortunate time. Or you would gain, if you are fortunate.

Valuations drive inflation. If a valuation of a centrail piece of intrastructure/enterprise is astonomical, you can expect prices of everything to soon catch up. We have seen inflation jump in Biden years, and we can see it again.
