"I've been wondering the same thing about Geithner, Bernanke, et a. These egg heads are mega-quants."

Could you show me any of the Bernanke's papers that would qualify him as a quant, let alone a "mega-quant?" Have you read any of them? There is no evidence that I am aware of that Geithner is quantitative at all.

You appear to be "have been wondering" about a nonexistent world.

"So attached to their mathematical models that they can't see the reality of human nature."

Does it bother you that you make strong conclusions, which typically call for a great deal of justification, without any justification at all? Does it bother you that, however different your starting point may be, you have arrived at Marxist conclusions?

But, at least you have the strength of numbers. This crowd of supposed conservatives will accept any nonsense as long as it is directed against the Fed, the "CEOs," the "bankers," the "rich." It has taken over a century, but the commies are winning: they have converted even people like you, who think of themselves as conservative.

Extraordinary how the quant world instinctively goes on personal attack whenever challenged. Try it yourself. Attack any quant’s theories and, within minutes, personal attacks insulting intellect, reason, method, personality, gender, and on and on. They cannot live or fight in the world of ideas. They cannot cope with human challenge. All 1 or 0. No gray zones, no nuance, no subjectivism. Just relentless personal insults and attacks. Please attack one yourself and see...

You know what really bothers me? The incredible arrogance of this form of mental defect. Constant personal attacks just for suggesting that “High IQ” (as defined by whom?)is perhaps a mental defect, rather than a master race of intellectuals... Assume this... if you are still wearing PF Flyers over age 20, you have issues...

Remarkable. It is truly a shame that P.T. Barnum is dead. Most people can only flatulate in monotone. You coulda had a future, kid...
