The thing that gets me about these irrational justifications by “rationalists” is just this:
“The purpose of SlutCon is to help ease men who are scared of approaching women”
Oh…that’s cool. What’s the Con to ease woman who are uncomfortable with men?
There isn’t one?
This is my shocked face 🙄

‘Scandalous, irrational and irresponsible’: French beekeepers’ fury at lifting of pesticides ban
Allowing use of pesticides to combat crop-ruining disease will kill bees and reduce harvests, union says

Of course it didn't make a difference, but my irrational, non-specific worrying was vindicated yesterday. Received some very bad news about a close friend. Also, my dog got into something and is having butt issues now. Trying to find some humor in the way I'm telling myself "I told you so!"

On the sharpness of Denjoy's theorem

Abstract: Let $\omega$ be a concave modulus of continuity that is weaker than Lipschitz, meaning $\omega(t)/t$ diverges as $t$ approaches $0$. We construct a diffeomorphism of the circle with irrational rotation number, in the regularity class $C^{1 \omega}$, with a wandering interval. This construction implies that Denjoy's 1932 theorem is sharp in regularity, unless additional restrictions are imposed on the rotation number. The construction in the special case $\omega(t) = t\log(1/t)$ settles an open problem dating back to Herman's 1979 work on circle diffeomorphisms, which gave constructions for $\omega(t) = t\log(1/t)^{1 \varepsilon}$ for every $\varepsilon > 0$. Our examples arise as limits of periodic circle diffeomorphisms with rapidly converging rotation numbers.

As always, I wonder what the hell investors are thinking. But I always keep remembering the same thing:
- Investment isn’t about •actual• value, except maybe asymptotically. Investment is about correctly predicting what others will •perceive• as valuable.
- When some asset is hot but sketchy on the fundamentals, it doesn't matter whether some people know it or everyone knows it. It's just a game of chicken: just don't be the last to bail.
- Thus the old saying about betting against ill-founded popularity: the market can stay irrational a lot longer than you can stay solvent.
