... Yeah, but I mean that's just nonsense, and is not going to happen. People can expect all they want, but ultimately reality is reality.


Expectations can remain unreasonable longer than you can remain solvent.


Oh, yeah, I don’t doubt that it’ll have all sorts of unfortunate market effects, but ultimately it is _not a real thing_.


Man, if I had a nickel for when I got angry in a meeting (or with a spouse) over the exact same type of thing, and then ended up getting fired afterwards…. Or worse?

I’d have like a quarter. Which isn’t a lot. But man, you’d think I’d have learned by now huh?

Also, man do I understand Ye Wenjie from [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three-Body_Problem_(nove...]. I don’t support, but holy shit do I understand.

Don’t get murdered pointlessly trying to do the right thing, eh? At least make it count for something useful. Try not to be dead right.


It is nonsense, but it does happen, and its enabled through the decoupling action of business decisions provided for by debt financing.

Reality is reality, and in the end you are right, but by that time it won't matter; the damage will have already been done. This is the nature of cascading failures, and delusion, and there are far more delusional people today in positions of power than ever before.

Edit: On a separate thing. As an FYI in case you didn't know, but it looks like your blog is now directing to a bad link on google, or they were hosting it and took your blog down.


Oh, huh, yeah, used to be blogger, deleted it years back.
