I studied in the academic department at Cambridge that later employed Jason Arday. Here's just some of the crap I learnt: For one module, I wrote a lengthy essay about how cultural products like kids’ cartoons and jazz songs serve as instruments of capitalist oppression. I got a top mark on that paper (despite knowing at the time that I was essentially regurgitating complete crap).
While studying for another paper I had a debate with the professor, an eminent anthropologist, because she insisted that native tribes could fly through the trees - not metaphorically, but that they could literally fly because they believed they could fly. After all, who are we to question ‘indigenous ways of knowing’...
For a different course, I read long ‘research papers’ which argued that the fact that black kids are excluded from schools more than white kids proves systemic racism exists in education. Crucially, they ignored the fact that white kids are excluded more than, e.g., Japanese kids, a statistic which, applying the exact same logic, would suggest that the education system is systemically biased in favour of, erm, Japanese kids (which obviously it isn’t).
Something that was held up as proof of the existence of this largely imaginary racism was that teachers tell kids not to use booming voices in the classroom, and not to put up their hoods or wear their trousers down below their pants.
On another occasion, my supervisor casually praised some students agitators who were trying to shut down a talk by someone they disagreed with. I said that I didn’t think this was something to celebrate, because I believed in freedom of speech. He got visibly angry, and proceeded to tell me that free speech was not worth protecting in a capitalist system (or something along those lines).
In my all-important final year, a lecturer let me know that I shouldn’t worry too much about my exam results, because as someone who was not from an upper class background I should be more focussed on using my grasp of leftist revolutionary theory to further the interests of the proletariat. Writing this down, it strikes me that it’s so hilariously mental that some of you will presumably assume I’m lying. But there’s no way I’m leaving it out, because it happened.
Unlike the academics who make a living from this stuff, I couldn’t bring myself to build a career pumping out whiney, divisive, intellectually incoherent rubbish. But others, as we’ve seen exposed in recent days, do so with gusto. And are lauded for it.
Please read the full piece this is taken from, and give it a share. I've linked it in the tweet below.
@QuantifiedStrat If you take the readings at the close, you can't trade at the close. So have you got tick data and are taking readings X minutes before the close. If so, can you specify. If not, your backrest is meaningless as it can't be traded.
Looking forward to your reply.

A 29-year-old sales consultant from Oklahoma quit his job thanks to AI - now he makes his director’s entire annual salary in just two weeks.
$306,000 in profit over the past month.
He replaced an entire team of quants with Claude and a swarm of agents - and built his own ETH price simulation engine.
Each of the 6 agents validates its own trading decision, and thanks to their precision, he’s pulling in at least $15,000 a day.
The agent system coverage speed is far higher than any top-tier trading team.
They collect data 24/7 and run simulations using that data in the MiroFish engine - completely autonomously.
They remember every pattern, every market reaction, every trading signal. This is a new milestone in algo trading.
Every trade is a perfect cycle. Every dollar earned is pure exploitation of market inefficiency.
He doesn’t predict the future - the math already knows it. He just reads the numbers right and takes the money.
Save this post if you actually want to learn how to build something like this.
Or just skip homework and start copying every one of his trades right now .
You only need Claude + laptop + 1 hour/day.

@carolvorders and @GNev2 wonder if we can expect a comment on this government anytime soon. I well remember you sanctimoniously, along with the @UKLabour front bench, screaming at the Tories for their lack of integrity. Now it's Starmer and his cronies, absolute silence.
