2/ and by "entertain", I mean "annoy the living snot out of". I'm mostly just embarrassed for them. They know nothing. They'll RT some chart of 20 year maturity federal bond liquidity rates with commentary "ZOMG here it comes!" ...yet I doubt they can define any of those terms

3/ do you KNOW what an inverted yield means? do you KNOW what the Baltic Dry Index means about actual quantity of trade, and about MARGINAL demand for shipping ? do you KNOW what "fed redemption means" ? If you don't, then RTing charts of these things is ... just cargo cult.

4/ There's this odd thing where people on the spectrum, who appear fairly emotionless, are actually quite emotional - the truth is that perceptions of emotions are often overwhelming. This is relevant to children RTing finance memes >>>

5/ because my biggest take about these kids is this: Every time I see one of their tweets I cringe so hard thinking how embarrassed I'd be if I were them, and this idiocy was coming out of my mouth / keyboard, were I to later mature and learn anything.

Replying to @MorlockP
I'm sure at their age I had a bunch of ideas at least that dumb. The difference is more in availability of that fact. My *hope* therefore is that they Git Gud at nerdery and look back and laugh at their past selves like I do regularly.
