Crazy to think that the majority of the money I used to buy the house I’m currently living in I made doing low-risk and perfectly-legal stock market shenanigans with play money¹.

What I did shouldn’t be legal. Some companies do it at massive scale. And not (just) to praise myself, but it takes a big brain to do what I did. That is a good example of a de facto power imbalance that the left refuses to talk about ever. It is a real blind spot for them. Not to belabor the point, but the age gap crap they incessantly bang on about absolutely fucking pales in comparison to cognitive inequality.

1. Meaning money that was not for retirement, not for anything specific and if I’d lost it all I would’ve gone, “Oh well! Such is life. Let’s get some dinner.”
