That doesn't make sense to me. If I took my life savings and bet it on a roulette system where I kept doubling down, and then lost and complained that i didn't know it was risky, should someone feel bad for me? A greedy ignoramus (lots of them) put their money into a ponzi scheme and lost it. That's not something that should be encouraged, or softened. People should learn that their actions have consequences.
- the_gastropod 4y agoThere’s a reason roulette tables are illegal in most parts of the US. Being unintelligent should not be a justification for a life of misery. If we’re lucky, many of us will get older and lose some cognitive ability. I hope society maintains such safeguards into my twilight years.
