Usury

You can do this. O superman.

Yes you can.

“We have become makers of our fate when we have ceased to pose as its prophets.”

Karl Popper

This quote is suggesting that by taking control of our own lives, we can shape our destiny. Rather than waiting for fate to take its course, we can make our own decisions and take action to create the life we want. It implies that our lives are not predetermined and that we have the power to create our own destiny. (ao)

Me: Usury makes people do a power pose.

ChatGPT (jan23):

Usury can create a culture where people feel the need to constantly assert their power and dominance, leading to behaviors such as power posing. This can manifest in various ways, such as in the workplace, in politics, or in personal relationships. It can also lead to a culture of competition and cut-throat behavior, where individuals prioritize their own success and advancement above all else, often at the expense of others.
