Bingo,@michaelmina_lab : "failure to act on imprefect data" plagues "science" --and it is the theme of the Incerto. Except that the solution proposed in Topol is worse & unrigorous. You focus on asymmetry of outcomes. For air safety it is 1/10^9. For masks it is much different. — PolitiTweet.org

2) And the minute someone defines herself or himself as a "bitcoiner" like a national identity it becomes an irreversible ideological committment not an investment strategy. Actually it is a religion. You "belong" to a group of amoebas. https://t.co/csFWhFKNjy — PolitiTweet.org

When you invest/trade, you buy & you sell; you increase/decrease; you get stopped out/take profits; you revise dynamically; you protect your tail; you walk away when needed to clear your mind. Bitcoiners & amoebas think in binary form... & are convinced others must be doing so. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Comedians should know when to keep their mouth shot in the presence of tragic events (as well as matters of a high moral dimension). About 60 people died in Texas. To repeat, conservatism is about responsibility to the collective, #SkinintheGame, & respect for the tragic. — PolitiTweet.org
