@ole_b_peters You don't seem to get drawdowns. And look in logs. And no, it is not an inflation hedge. — PolitiTweet.org

@Natural_Fallacy @usambcuba @JohnG_UK @nikhilsomani @kevinnbass Sorry to barge in; yes Mangan checks some quack boxes but the paper is just claiming that moderate hypercholest. (not severe hyperch) is better handled via nonpharmacological interventions. This is just a dose-response claim, perhaps limited to pravastin & noth. abt sat fat. — PolitiTweet.org

@JordiMateu07 @NietzscheTrader @ComplexDigi Yes I shd block him. My point is linking cause and effect is insultingly stretched when there is no effect. — PolitiTweet.org

4) The idea that things are "downhill" comes from the Kremlin disinformation camp. with players like @Snowden and others trying to make us forget that the West lives in the most transparent times ever. And it is partly thanks to the efforts of people like @ROnPaul. — PolitiTweet.org

3) And interventionism, say to stop states from having slavery or prevent Hitler from putting people in gas chambers is not just good policy; it is a MORAL imperative. As I wrote in AF, it is like medicine. You use it to save lives not for ordinary matters. — PolitiTweet.org

2) So we should improve the system, make people more accountable, etc. But I failed to see the "downhill". They say science is hard because of nuances. Everything is hard because of nuances. — PolitiTweet.org

I like Ron Paul; overinterventionism is bad, printing money is bad. BUT Since the early 1900s: standards of living have risen yuuugely, > 1 billion exited famine, medicine saves lives & until 2008 holders of fixed income were paid for inflation w/something called interest. — PolitiTweet.org

@EdmondShami @EthantheFlaneur @nntaleb_likes Below is a Galilean Christian (Rum Catholic from Nazareth), so from the Christ's tribe. He has the best, cleanest, friendliest place; they give you samples as you wait. He spotted me & without knowing who I was or where I came from kissed me and said he has known me all his life. https://t.co/vhY6zLfuro — PolitiTweet.org

The WEF is not evil, just a benign book club; insecure temporary name-dropping hotshots meeting to do deals w/the theme of saving the world. It is similar to the Yearly Conf of Car Dealers-Eastern Div. except that car dealers haven't learned to make claims of solving the world. https://t.co/EoQQtx8TWA — PolitiTweet.org

@Frances_Coppola @ace_presto @EdKwangl @davidgerard @rperezmarco Perez Marco said practically nothing except that he gets neither contingencies nor finance [discount rate must exceed the growth rate otherwise the asset becomes the entire economy]. Anyway, I answered the argument in the paper. — PolitiTweet.org
