>My friend Demetri Kofinas has referred to financial nihilism as “a philosophy that treats the objects of speculation as though they were intrinsically worthless.” It is a philosophy that fully embraces the view that reality is completely subjective. My point of view is that no one know if they are any meaning to the universe, let alone one that is grabbable by human limited cognitive abilities. So from this premises, "absolute" intrinsic value of any object is not accessible to us. Actually, we don’t even know with absolute certitude if the object of some speculation relate to anything denotable. I do have faith that there is an absolute reality encompassing me, and that the few fallible representation I can build about it, can only be constructed through subjective experiences. To my mind, finance is all about human conventions. They are far more strongly shaped by more or less common cultural phantasmagorias than by any intrinsic constrain of reality.
