"We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely."

Aye. I love it because people tell me what I do is worthless (synthesizing/systems thinking) because it’s not all quant-y.

But:

1) I make loads of money.

2) I’m right a lot, far more than the “believe science” quant BS.

3) I seem way happier than most of them.

4) I’m right way more often at the most important times, i.e., in unusual situations and tail events.

I win, fuckos. Quantify that.
