So I recently sold all my houses, cars, and most of my physical assets. Told some friends and… well they all think I lost my mind lol
I’m not saying world’s gonna end tmr. Those who know me know I’m actually annoyingly optimistic. People say we’re already in a recession but I genuinely think the real correction hasn’t even started.
And honestly a crash you’re prepared for is just opportunity. Prep the cash flow now and be ready when it hits.
Few months ago I tweeted a 1920-1939 side by side with 2020-now and I was like aha this earth simulation game isn’t even trying to be surprising.
America First was literally a 1920s slogan. Middle class getting wiped, kids going hard left, the right cashing in on the backlash, yada yada. Same movie. They didn’t even bother changing the lines.
But it’s not just the 1930s. This “coincidental” pattern keeps showing up
Every time in history you get this specific set of things at once:
> “empire” past its prime but won’t admit it
> up and coming power that stopped playing nice
> new tech nobody has rules for
> wealth gap gone cartoonish
> globalization reversing
> institutions bleeding trust while pretending everything’s fine
UNFORTUNATELY, it’s never ended quietly. Crash, war, usually both. Looking back, 1890-1914 literally looked unstoppable.
> globalization booming, tech changing everything
> markets ripping, rich getting richer, international trade at record highs
> everyone convinced world had become too interconnected for a major war
BUT then reality arrived.
> 1914 WW I, 1918 spanish flu, 1921-1923 Weimar hyperinflation, 1929 great depression 1939 WW II.
Just imagine you’re a civilian living in between any one of those events, literally each one felt like the worst thing that could happen until the next one hit.
And I know how this sounds. This random green cat on X reads a bit of history and suddenly thinks the sky is falling. i would’ve scrolled past this a year ago too lol.
But just look at how familiar the setup feels rn.
A debt spiral. A rising challenger. AI detonating entire industries. Institutional trust collapsing. Millions of young people looking at the future and deciding they got sold a lie.
You see it too right? That’s usually not when history calms down.
And sure, you’ll say the system survived 2008. Central banks have the tools. The world’s too connected to actually break.
You know who said basically the same thing? Everyone in 1913.
A famous economist Norman Angell wrote a bestseller arguing war between major powers had become impossible because their economies were too intertwined.
And guess what? A year later they were at war.
The irony is he wasn't even wrong.
The thing everyone pointed to as proof the system was safe ended up being what made the fallout global.
Look at the positioning now.
Stocks at all time highs. And everyone, I mean everyone, priced like things stay calm forever. Markets, governments, companies, all quietly betting on stability while the ground under it gets shakier every year.
Trigger? No idea. Nobody ever knows. Franz Ferdinand (the dude who got shot and basically started WWI) wasn’t on a single dashboard in June 1914.
So yea, I sold most of my illiquid assets. Still got stocks and crypto. Stocks prob exiting before end of year. Maybe I look crazy for a year or two.
But I’d rather be wrong than be the dude on his knees in financial ruins asking God why he saw the train coming and stayed on the tracks anyway.
“This time is different” is probably the most expensive sentence in history. And lately it’s the only thing I hear.
And before someone says I’ve lost my mind, ask yourself something.
Why do so many billionaires keep buying land in New Zealand?
Why do people with private jets, intelligence briefings, and more money than they’ll ever spend keep building backup plans?
Maybe they’re paranoid.
Maybe I’m paranoid.
Or maybe ordinary people are always the ones told everything’s fine right before they become fuel.

Originally, I didn’t want to comment publicly on all of the drama. However, once there were multiple lies and false or exaggerated accusations, I felt I had no choice but to clear my name and state the facts with evidence so that we can put this issue to rest.
Regarding the issue with C Ye at Venetian — the post below includes a link to a video from Xuan Liu, who is very reputable in the poker community and was there with me at the time. She can confirm that the floor staff told us they had checked the surveillance footage, and that the amount of chips C Ye actually had at the end of the game was different from the amount she reported to us.
People have asked what C Ye’s motivation could have been for misreporting. I can’t say for sure, but I do know that in the days leading up to June 7, she was on a huge downswing across private games, HCL, and baccarat — easily over $100K of her own money.
We also later got in touch with someone at the Venetian, who checked their internal records for us and found a record related to the surveillance inquiry. The record shows that the report was reviewed on June 21 at approximately 11:03 PM, and there is an internal report number associated with it.
I also have additional evidence supporting my account that Venetian security did in fact help me review the surveillance footage. However, I gave my word that this material would never be shared publicly, and I intend to honor that.
That said, we are willing to share the original materials privately with well-respected and credible members of the poker community who genuinely want to review the evidence. If that applies to you, feel free to DM me.
Because these materials contain internal Venetian information and involve staff who helped us, we will not post them publicly. We don’t want anyone at the Venetian getting in trouble for helping us.
C Ye tweeted that she put all of her chips in my bag ($187K). Venetian told Xuan that C Ye made a cage transaction for $106K after the game. That would explain where the rest of the chips went.
Further, attached is a video from Jeff the Cash, who was there that day and says he personally saw chips being taken off the table. Jeff is a very reputable high-stakes player and is willing to publicly speak about what he personally witnessed.
Regarding Wesley’s story — attached is a video from Aussie Alan confirming that I never owed anyone money and that Wesley’s allegations aren’t true.
Alan also spoke directly with L, the person referenced in Wesley’s post. L apologized to Alan and said that Wesley using his name without his approval was very wrong, especially when what Wesley was saying was not factually correct. The chat confirming this is attached below.
Charles, a well-known and reputable player on HCL who was mentioned in Wesley’s story, is also willing to publicly confirm on X that Wesley’s allegations against me are not true.
Charles was at the table that day and can confirm two things: first, he had bought action in Hank; and second, Hank did in fact secretly take chips off the table. Charles is willing to speak publicly about what he personally knows and witnessed.
Lastly, I want to make it clear that Ryan and HCL had no knowledge of me buying pieces of other players. I understand now that this can create a conflict of interest in certain games, but at the time, I sometimes bought action because I wanted to help younger players who might not otherwise have been able to play in those games. Going forward, I will not do it again.
I’m not perfect. I’ve made some mistakes, but never out of a lack of integrity. Things get heated and words get thrown around when poker players are no longer welcome in or able to access games they want to play.
Take the evidence below as you wish and decide for yourself. I just wanted one last opportunity to put all of this information and evidence out there, clear things up, and hopefully put this issue to rest once and for all.

💌 9.39PM
Hello Villains, This is Gun-il
I think this will probably be my last greeting to you as a member of Xdinary Heroes.
I really wanted to remain Xdinary Heroes until the very end, and I wanted to protect the six-member Xdinary Heroes. But as you all know, I had no choice but to accept the company’s decision
Even now, it still doesn’t feel real to me.
There are so many things I want to say to Villains. I still don’t know where or how to begin. But now that I am no longer a member of Xdinary Heroes, I don’t want to hide the truth or make excuses with lies just to protect myself. I believe there are things that I need to tell you myself, which is why I am writing this.
First of all, the person who wrote the post that started all of this was someone I met through an acquaintance and we dated for about two weeks.
At the time, I was mentally very exhausted because of the malicious comments and false rumors about me that had been going on for some time, as well as the various concerns I had about XDIZ’s music and performances. Rather than burdening the people close to me by opening up about how I was feeling, I was at a point where it felt easier to vent my frustrations to a stranger who didn’t really know me.
The person who made the inappropriate remarks about fans in the phone recording that was made public to Villains was indeed me. Regardless of the reason, the fact that I said those things does not change. I sincerely apologize to everyone who was disappointed and hurt by what I said.
However, I want to honestly explain what kind of situation and emotional state I was in at the time and who those words were directed toward.
Earlier this year, sasaeng fans broke into our dorm, and they even put a tracking device on my personal vehicle and followed me around. After experiencing things like that, I developed a lot of fear and resentment toward certain malicious fans, and I went through a very difficult time emotionally.
But because I was the leader and also the oldest hyung, I couldn’t easily talk about my fears or anxiety. I tried my best to control my emotions and carry on.
Then, in June of this year, I prepared for the Inspire Arena concert with the members, wanting to give Villains the absolute best performance we could. We prepared incredibly hard, and after finishing the first day’s performance, I checked social media with excitement and anticipation.
Of course, no performance can ever be perfect, and I believe we need to acknowledge our shortcomings and continue improving. However, that day, I saw a lot of malicious posts that went beyond criticism or opinions about the performance, things that were difficult for us to understand.
Because it was a performance I had prepared with all my heart, I think I broke down emotionally a lot when I saw the unexpected criticism and malicious comments.
That said, I didn’t want to cause worry to the company people or the members, so I couldn’t easily open up about my feelings. In the end, I poured out the emotions I had been holding back to someone I had only met not long ago, and in the process, I blurted out expressions that were too strong and wrong without hesitation.
I never thought that conversation would be recorded and made public. However, regardless of whether it was made public, I am fully aware that the very fact that I said such a thing was wrong.
There is only one thing I absolutely want to say.
At the time, the people I was speaking about emotionally were some malicious fans who, hiding behind anonymity, recklessly blamed us and violated our privacy. It was never what I said to all the villains who believed in and supported us.
I believe that because I have tried to show you the image of a diligent and reliable leader, the disappointment and sense of betrayal you may have felt through this matter must have been even greater. I sincerely feel very sorry about that.

I've been coding for 40 years. Here are the top 5 things I wish I knew when I started.
1. 90% of the job is debugging and fixing, not creating new code. Which is still fun if you're good at it.
I used to think programming was mostly writing fresh, clever stuff. In reality, most of your time is spent in other people's (or your own past self's) messy code, chasing down why something that "should" work doesn't. Get really good at debugging early. Learn assembly reading, call stacks, and kernel debuggers. It pays off hugely. The best engineers I saw were absolute magicians at this.
2. Manage complexity from day one (ie: don't write slop and "fix it later" if it goes somewhere).
Very early on, I'd hammer out code and refactor afterward. Big mistake. Now I start with clean, skeletal structure (minimalism first) and flesh it out carefully, with AI or not.
Messy code compounds and becomes unfixable. Upfront discipline on architecture, naming, and simplicity saves enormous pain later, especially in large systems like Windows.
3. Tools and processes matter more than you think
We suffered with basic diff/manual deltas instead of modern source control like Git. Branching, testing, and good tooling would have made porting and collaboration way smoother. Invest in your environment, automation, and reproducible builds early. Good tools amplify your output; bad ones (or none) drag everything down.
4. Understand the problem and existing code deeply before writing
Don't jump straight to coding. Map out the problem, study what's already there (you'll inherit a lot), and plan. Low-level knowledge (hardware quirks, alignment issues on different architectures like MIPS/Alpha) was crucial. Also: assert early and often. It forces clarity.
5. People, politics, and "the right tool for the job" beat pure tech arguments.
Brilliant engineers still argue endlessly. Sometimes it's about ego, not merit. Learn to spot the difference and "steer" the conversation rather than "winning" it.
Bonus from experience: Side projects like Task Manager (started at home because I wanted the tool) can become your biggest hits. Ship small, useful things often. If you're just starting, focus on fundamentals, patterns over syntax, and building resilience for the long haul. It's going to be a wild ride, but the fundamentals still matter.

This is Farzapedia.
I had an LLM take 2,500 entries from my diary, Apple Notes, and some iMessage convos to create a personal Wikipedia for me.
It made 400 detailed articles for my friends, my startups, research areas, and even my favorite animes and their impact on me complete with backlinks.
But, this Wiki was not built for me! I built it for my agent!
The structure of the wiki files and how it's all backlinked is very easily crawlable by any agent + makes it a truly useful knowledge base.
I can spin up Claude Code on the wiki and starting at index.md (a catalog of all my articles) the agent does a really good job at drilling into the specific pages on my wiki it needs context on when I have a query.
For example, when trying to cook up a new landing page I may ask:
"I'm trying to design this landing page for a new idea I have. Please look into the images and films that inspired me recently and give me ideas for new copy and aesthetics".
In my diary I kept track of everything from: learnings, people, inspo, interesting links, images.
So the agent reads my wiki and pulls up my "Philosophy" articles from notes on a Studio Ghibli documentary, "Competitor" articles with YC companies whose landing pages I screenshotted, and pics of 1970s Beatles merch I saved years ago. And it delivers a great answer.
I built a similar system to this a year ago with RAG but it was ass.
A knowledge base that lets an agent find what it needs via a file system it actually understands just works better.
The most magical thing now is as I add new things to my wiki (articles, images of inspo, meeting notes) the system will likely update 2-3 different articles where it feels that context belongs, or, just creates a new article.
It's like this super genius librarian for your brain that's always filing stuff for your perfectly and also let's you easily query the knowledge for tasks useful to you (ex. design, product, writing, etc) and it never gets tired.
I might spend next week productizing this, if that's of interest to you DM me + tell me your usecase!

LLM Knowledge Bases
Something I'm finding very useful recently: using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases for various topics of research interest. In this way, a large fraction of my recent token throughput is going less into manipulating code, and more into manipulating knowledge (stored as markdown and images). The latest LLMs are quite good at it. So:
Data ingest:
I index source documents (articles, papers, repos, datasets, images, etc.) into a raw/ directory, then I use an LLM to incrementally "compile" a wiki, which is just a collection of .md files in a directory structure. The wiki includes summaries of all the data in raw/, backlinks, and then it categorizes data into concepts, writes articles for them, and links them all. To convert web articles into .md files I like to use the Obsidian Web Clipper extension, and then I also use a hotkey to download all the related images to local so that my LLM can easily reference them.
IDE:
I use Obsidian as the IDE "frontend" where I can view the raw data, the the compiled wiki, and the derived visualizations. Important to note that the LLM writes and maintains all of the data of the wiki, I rarely touch it directly. I've played with a few Obsidian plugins to render and view data in other ways (e.g. Marp for slides).
Q&A:
Where things get interesting is that once your wiki is big enough (e.g. mine on some recent research is ~100 articles and ~400K words), you can ask your LLM agent all kinds of complex questions against the wiki, and it will go off, research the answers, etc. I thought I had to reach for fancy RAG, but the LLM has been pretty good about auto-maintaining index files and brief summaries of all the documents and it reads all the important related data fairly easily at this ~small scale.
Output:
Instead of getting answers in text/terminal, I like to have it render markdown files for me, or slide shows (Marp format), or matplotlib images, all of which I then view again in Obsidian. You can imagine many other visual output formats depending on the query. Often, I end up "filing" the outputs back into the wiki to enhance it for further queries. So my own explorations and queries always "add up" in the knowledge base.
Linting:
I've run some LLM "health checks" over the wiki to e.g. find inconsistent data, impute missing data (with web searchers), find interesting connections for new article candidates, etc., to incrementally clean up the wiki and enhance its overall data integrity. The LLMs are quite good at suggesting further questions to ask and look into.
Extra tools:
I find myself developing additional tools to process the data, e.g. I vibe coded a small and naive search engine over the wiki, which I both use directly (in a web ui), but more often I want to hand it off to an LLM via CLI as a tool for larger queries.
Further explorations:
As the repo grows, the natural desire is to also think about synthetic data generation + finetuning to have your LLM "know" the data in its weights instead of just context windows.
TLDR: raw data from a given number of sources is collected, then compiled by an LLM into a .md wiki, then operated on by various CLIs by the LLM to do Q&A and to incrementally enhance the wiki, and all of it viewable in Obsidian. You rarely ever write or edit the wiki manually, it's the domain of the LLM. I think there is room here for an incredible new product instead of a hacky collection of scripts.
