@levelsio@CesareHail I generally agree with what you are saying, but Jesus was a Buddhist?? 🤣
Hopefully, @grok can help to clarify what Jesus' religion was
Powerful words from @VanJones68 here on why the West must NOT abandon the Jewish people after centuries of persecution and genocide.
There are only 15 million Jews left in the WORLD, and half of them, he says, are "clinging to their existence" in Israel.
@SmallCapSmarts Sorry, not following and don’t understand what leverage and why. You can estimate beta by computing correlation of your strategy returns with S&P returns. You can do that, not me.
Very impressive btw, beta or not.
@SmallCapSmarts I am guessing. Out of the 3 options: 1) luck; 2) beta; 3) alpha making 300% annual return on large caps, I didn't pick the least probable one
In societies where food is abundant, war is distant, and rights are taken for granted, the human mind, restless and meaning-hungry, must invent oppression in order to feel morally alive.
The result is a generation that confuses discomfort with trauma, words with violence, and disagreement with persecution.
When you're not fighting to survive, you fight to feel. When you haven’t suffered, you perform suffering. When you've inherited everything, your rebellion becomes about tearing down the very foundation that handed it to you.
Woke ideology is the child of material excess and spiritual boredom. It’s a worldview that can only take root in a civilization so safe, so prosperous, so insulated from reality, that it loses the ability to distinguish between injustice and inconvenience.
It redefines privilege as oppression. It seeks moral superiority not through discipline or sacrifice, but through performative outrage and ideological conformity.
It survives because the very systems it undermines continue to fund it, protect it, and treat it as untouchable.
The West may have built the freest, safest, richest civilization in human history, only to watch it be dismantled by people who never had to bleed for it.
@RichardHanania@PSDFinancier With the 53B endowment, Harvard can finance all these studies and 100x more. It doesn’t need any government grants.
But if they choose to keep the money in PE funds instead, it’s ok. These studies will be done in other institutions.

How on Earth would he know??
You can ask a San Fran BART driver. That's about what they make after 7 years. Plus benefits.
