I appreciate the conversation as it's an important topic for serious investors. As the saying goes: nothing is true all the time. I think cloning can be a useful source of idea generation, but it requires discipline to do it right. So it can help or hurt depending on the process.

Yeah, I guess I'm just troubled by the idea that notion that an absolutely autonomous process helps shield one from external-caused biases, mostly because I've been burned by the liking-loving tendency so many times...

1) never appologize for talking shit on Twitter - that's what this website is for 2) that said in my mind this beef falls squarely into the 'wonky things smart investors can disagree on' bucket... Did not mean for it to be personal

Thanks Craig, and you’re right, which is why I shouldn’t have let what you said get a rise out of me. It’s not like my response was very constructive either.

I didn’t think it was arrogant, stupid, or required an apology. And I do think buying other people’s ideas can lead to corner-cutting. BUT, I’ve long given up on the sanctity of independent work. Craig is right.

I think everyone goes through a “only my originally sourced ideas are good enough” phase. It only takes a few homers from buddies to show you the light!!!! I now look at ideas from *random* twitter people and my best performer this year is from that basket.
