ASYMMETRY I kept getting msgs of the sort: "I agree we don't understand tail risk. But don't you think we shd consider we might be also erring by overestimating risks of COVID-19?" Translating: "Isn't the pilot erring by being TOO careful & overestimating risks of a crash?" — PolitiTweet.org

These AynRandists don't get asymmetry. Saying there is no price for me to sell an option != saying there is no price at which I would not buy it! When you don't understand a risk, you don't take it. In the case of COVID-19 it was cheap THEN. Not now. https://t.co/lbNmfuyrEe — PolitiTweet.org
