Nick asked in late November 2024 how he could bet on the country getting better over the next few years. Iirc the suggestion was driven by the idea that merit is going to be taken more seriously now.
Absolutely massive L that 1) he wasn’t already in index funds and had to ask and 2) thought the election of this monster would lead to a better country
Decoupling or not I can’t trust anybody that would ask something so stupid driven by an opinion so easily disproven.
Tide goes in, tide goes out. Im low key of the opinion that these tools enhance existing attributes while displacing the advantages of unearned social or financial power.
So in the short term the tide might go out but then it might tsunami back.

what people consider to be "intelligence" isn't about doing l33t maths, its about self-doubt. This enables us to mitigate against our cognitive biases and instinctual impulses and accept truth, which leads to more useful outcomes.
All that buying a calculator does, is allow you to do bad sums more quickly.
sure, but now if you're running an entire agentic run for an org, what's to stop you just replacing the org? Previously you didn't have the wadge to pay for all the devs.
I don't know this Nick fellow but i don't think he's asking you to take anything on faith. Either it works out or it doesn't, he's just saying "it's looking good so far".
