We are deluged by these narratives because they are easy to understand. Same thing with a lot of money is synonymous with success; money is easy to quantify. When we start talking about randomness and luck, my sense is, that people begin t

Although I wouldn't put as much stock in Garber's thesis (although I did enjoy the monograph) as you do, there definitely is value to his argument. I think it is also important to stress that the problem with the tulip bulb marke

Early adopters being rewarded is not sufficient to make something a ponzi scheme. In fact early adopters of many trends and technologies are often rewarded. There is nothing about Bitcoin that is similar to a ponzi scheme. I recommend yo

I agree with your point about theoretical vs the reality of a Boards function. I should have been more explicit, I am disagreeing that Board of Directors are overlooked in MBA education. At least in my experience, the Board was discussed

Pretty much. They've been sold as lie detectors based on the notion that stress == lies, this is obviously incorrect. The same notion is also what make voice stress analysis unreliable as well.

It is an approved technology by the US government. It is mostly used as an interrogation tool as opposed to a lie detector. Having only worked with interrogators I only know second hand how it is used, from my understanding it usually use

Long term disability is more appropriate. Long term care is more appropriate for the elderly. To your point, however, insurance products exist to assist when a long term health issue arises.
