All of these topics are : How the Universe Works 101

..and they apply to literally any and every field of study..

General knowledge like this is ducking priceless when it comes to understanding.. so. ducking. much.

That aside, I also think your specialization comment is stupid. Did you happen to graduate from a school in India in the past 16 months?

Not really. It's pretty good. Growth will just bring more bot wars. But I guess bot-immigration is just a permanent trait of the internet now.

In a world where every person is free to share their opinion directly to a mass audience; do we really need pundits anymore? in c/[email protected]

Yes, similar to the web of trust, there exists a web of trust for people based on reputation. Journalistic integrity, openness, scrutiny; these are just a few of the things that go away when experts go away.

People who dedicate their lives to truth should be recognized as such, and those who lie should be recognized as well. Outsourcing your information gathering to "randoms" just means that you will be swayed by whoever can afford the best bot farm.

And if you think you are unswayable, you are the perfect target.

Follow those who express curiosity, welcome questioning, and conduct themselves in good faith. It's an iterative process, you don't have to resolve it in a day.

As long as the jackass doesn't sell, they're solid.

I had a roommate who invested, when his stuff went down more than 5% he'd sell it, "Don't wanna be too risky," he'd say, unaware that he was breaking the cardinal rule of investing..

Then, "Omg it's up again, I better buy high before it goes higher!" then repeat pattern A again.

Moral of the story, if you actually believe in a stock, unrealized losses are not something to react to. Or do, and become a warning tale told to others, ha. Them -5% hits add up QUICK.
