    this “view” (of schmidt’s) is probably the kind of shit that Really Expensive Analysts espouse at davos and in Private Advisory sessions to the kinds of people who go in for that; I’ve also heard it about GRT and “the collapse” and more

    would be nice if we could know who all those dipshits are, and who they’ve preached to

      it’s clear this was a well rehearsed pitch - the twitter video linked is the two minute version of the same pitch

      Ford was walking north. He thought he was probably on his way to the spaceport, but he had thought that before. He knew he was going through that part of the city where people’s plans often changed quite abruptly.

      “Do you want to have a good time?” said a voice from a doorway.

      “As far as I can tell,” said Ford. “I’m having one. Thanks.”

      “Are you rich?” said another.

      This made Ford laugh.

      He turned and opened his arms in a wide gesture.

      “Do I look rich?” he said.

      “Don’t know,” said the girl. “Maybe, maybe not. Maybe you’ll get rich. I have a very special service for rich people…”

      “Oh yes,” said Ford, intrigued but careful, “and what’s that?”

      “I tell them it’s okay to be rich.”
