Why should our best hackers and mathematical minds be wasted on something so shallow as gaming the market?
Your mistaken premise is "our." That implies ownership.
How would you rather allocate those minds, commissar?
- mistermann 14y agoTake the word "our" out, do you still disagree? One thing you will notice about certain topics is advocates of one side or the other will nitpick inconsequential portions of sentences rather than actually discussing the topic.
- overcyn 14y ago> Why should the best hackers and mathematical minds be wasted on something so shallow as gaming the market? Because it makes them money.
- javert 14y agoYes, I still disagree. I mean, even without that word there, the same premise is baked into the question the person I was responding to asked. I disagree with your claim that I'm nitpicking and not discussing the topic.
