uh you were right that it depends on the assumptions you make, sorry about that!
in order for your actualy claim to be right you need to make batshit crazy assumptions
er ok sorry about that! you might be right.
I think the assumptions necessary for yours to hold are:
1) no xfers
2) can't see how the other is doing
3) goes on literally infinitely
4) assets grow unboundedly upwards in the median case
Heh
This is a classic trap for people who know a decent amount of math, get swayed by a sexy-sounding sentence, and fail to go back and critical examine it.
I think it was maybe the most accurate predictor of whether someone at Jane Street was/would become a good trader.
Like the best trader is someone who gets everything right.
A pretty good trader is someone who gets half of things right and changes their mind a lot.
A bad trader is one who knows nothing.
But none of those are the worst trader.

Tragic situations give me my identity

Love to many deceased over me, beef” K D 3 Nasir Jones
