Could you provide links to the debunking research? While not required, engaging with the manifesto's author openly might help convince others like him. He is certainly not alone in this mindset, and if it's easy to point out the f

Give up control of the company to short-term minded public investors vs. losing access to passive funds? Seems like an easy choice. I believe Snap has what it takes to grow another 10x under its current leadership, while S&P could prop
