Thank you for posting this. I was reconsidering writing a response to that, but you phrased it very well.
An excellent eye opening article I have read about this: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/N2pENnTPB75sfc9kb/outside-th... which discusses scientists believing in religion. The arguments also apply to any rational person who forms beliefs based on evidence which I would say is a necessary property to be intelligent. Hence it irks me when someone says "intelligent people believe in god too"
Disagree. Equities, specifically index funds, are marketed as an asset that will increase in USD price over time. There is an entire movement founded on this belief (FIRE).
This statement seems very suspect to confirmation bias. How would you get to know if what you think is genuine was actually fake? This part of feedback loop is completely missing, and hence I find your above statement hard to believe.
Although I do not disagree with your comment, I would do a double take befpre accepting the source you cite because they are very much incentived to proclaim the result they proclaim.
I felt it was justified after you called their opinion a "junior's" rant.
