Slightly off-topic, but I interviewed at one of the two companies above, plus Bridgewater, and never felt so stupid in my entire life. Real geniuses in some interviews, people who know what they are talking about and have zero need for selling courses or videos. On the other hand, if they _did_ need to sell something, I doubt they would be able to, as charisma was sorely lacking.
As all I had was charisma, alas, I failed.
I imagine that most of them are in it for making real money and not begging people to buy their ‘how to trade’ course online.
If you know something that's of value for making money you want to keep it a secret. Information isn't valuable but information differential is.
Yes. To me, your point underscores that (my fave insufferable "dual pair" of treasure) Taleb is more like an orthodox economist than he'd like to admit, and PG is more like a (fin)techbro than he'd care to admit. The pride differential in the info differential, I think?
(What role does gender/species play here, ha, I haven't thought much about _that_)
