Why should you trust me on this? I've consulted pensions in the past.
To be fair, that may give you insight into the technicalities of the machinations, but with you having profited from and contributed to the financial system -that ordinary people have spent the past decade paying for the venality, stupidity and corruption of - that when you dismiss as corrosive with calls to mods to suppress counter-narratives, your investment doesn't necessarily mean we should trust you.
- collegeburner 4y agothis isn't a "counter narrative" any more than "bill gates put microchips in my vaccine" is a "counter narrative". and i'm not being an asshole here, this is just a factual misstatement of LDI and what transactions are taking place. maybe the peak of the dunning-kruger curve shouldn't be sitting at the top of the thread for the first thing people read? i think asking @dang to at least pin a better explanation is fair.
- mellosouls 4y agoI've upvoted you for wit and self-belief anyway.
- eru 4y agoI mostly agree with your take on the facts. But I don't think you need to call for moderation quite so much. People are wrong on the internet all the time.
- collegeburner 4y agoyeah true and i'm not asking for anyone to remove stuff, nothing wrong with being wrong (though i wish this person did it less confidently). when i commented though this was the top comment on the thread (still #2) and i was more hoping dang could pin a better explanation to the top. reading something egregiously wrong that's written very confidently first thing can screw up a thread imo.
