      here's why "wall street is greedy" can't solve the 'problem' because it is actually shadow projection:

      when a hooman buys a stock they are betting that it will go up. options allow individuals who can't afford the stock to buy options instead and bet and a positive future outcome. this is basically a lottery ticket unless the options seller is retarded.

      basically one side is selling hope. because there are people willing to buy hope. that side makes money in a mathematically guaranteed way.

      as long as there are buyers of hope there is money to be made because they are making mathematically irrational decisions.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1363648017929170944 …

      here is where the shadow projection comes in: people who buy lottery tickets are being "greedy". and "wall street" is punishing this "irrational greed" by bleeding them dry until they "wise up" and stop being stupid.

      yet. if you take an empathetic stance you can see that the hope is not out of greed or stupidity but can be a rational response to a hopeless situation. hope is not a strategy but for the hopeless it is ALL they have.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1349448595586445312 …

      Replying to @andrewedstrom @tylercowen
      can actually a valid rational response at times! e.g. high volatility but low expected return is the right play to make if you're really behind and need a hail mary.

      imo this is why the punishment mentality in the US is kept alive at all costs despite so much evidence that it doesn't work. there is a LOT of money to be made by punishing stupid people via indirect lottery mechanisms.

      this is also why love is the only way the world can be saved. the people up top beating down the people down below are doing the 'right' thing through negative reinforcement. they're 'smarter', they're 'better'.

      a bunch of idiots yelling at them will only make them whip the whip harder. now, now only do they think the peasants are poor and stupid, not they're ungrateful, arrogant, and violent. this can only lead to an atlas shrugged 'go fuck yourself'

          but if the vampires learn to see the rest of hoomanity as their old frail grandparents, aging parents, helpless children, and brothers and sisters... then perhaps there is hope. one must touch the heart of the vampire. even if it through a stake.

          hope is only a strategy when it is a hope for love. that is called Faith.

          only the light of Faith burns up the vampire and reveals the prince/princess charming hidden inside.
