Finance isn't rigorous or fundamental in the way that somethings like math, physics, chemistry, etc are. In that way, it's a lot less interesting to many highly intelligent people, because it is after all, just bullshit which happ

The main point is that they can no longer say "trust us" with a straight face. If the politics of the last few decades has tried to teach us anything, it's that this is not true. No amount of shaming or obvious shortcomings

“Be a high functioning sociopath” seems like it might save time... Edit: It might also offend, but it's hard to contextualize the behavior of humanity’s apex predators without resorting to models of/like sociopathy. If you have a

Scam or joke? I can’t tell. Seriously, they seem to be more or less claiming to take the basics of a PET scanner, magically cross that with a nuclear reactor, which will somehow produce fusion at some point, and turn that into a drive ! It

Or maybe he's like Nobel, and has already started to think about legacy and how he's going to be viewed? On the other hand, maybe he cares about how loaded he is, and since a lot of his wealth is wrapped up in the value of his c

If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. Not that extreme, but come on... if you screw people over in a product space as janky and anti-consumer as the IoT, then replacements or ref
