A good measure of wealth is how long you can afford to be wrong

Wrongness has two dimensions: reversibility (self-explanatory) and depth. Deep wrong is like walking off a roof thinking there’s solid ground below. Shallow wrong is like thinking New York is the capital of the US. It may or may not cascade into deep/irreversible.

Wrongness wealth budget varies by activity. I’m like 3-6 months rich on consulting activities (survival economics is least forgiving), 2-3 years rich on writing activities, 4-5 years on friends/family interpersonal relationships (the most forgiving)

Billionaires can be like 10-20 years deeply wrong about everything. It means they have a tiny chance of doing things nobody else can risk, but a very high chance of disappearing past their own “deep and irreversibly wrong” event horizon unless they take mitigation measures.

The richer you are, the more you have to invest in explicit anti-wrongness measures and mechanisms.
