|content=I know of no truly working profession.

Medicine: broken.
Law: broken.
Research: broken.
Banking: broken.
Mgmt consulting: broken.

You’ll say “STEM, Tech and CS FTW losers!! Woot!!”

And I’ll whisper “Bro, thou dost protest way way too much.” Me thinks.

|content=How are we still such a rich country, then? Apparently having every institution in the country be "broken" isn't that catastrophic??

|content=I didn’t know you did impressions! Not really sure. Guessing Timothy Geithner explaining [[Great Moderation|the great moderation]] of pre-2007? Marty Feldstein on laissez faire? Greenspan on self correcting markets? Brad Delong on NAFTA? Madoff on investing? Krugman on internet commerce?
I give. Who?

|content=Take the current totally synthetic &amp; transparent push for “authoritative sources”. Such sources would be the ones warning in 2005 that the [[Great Moderation|“Great Moderation”]] was a lie &amp; that a crash loomed. Someone like @nntaleb. Yet they mean the opposite. They mean cheerleaders like @nytimes.

|content=People tell me that news has now become commercial and that stories are simply constructed to sell papers/get clicks. This is just nonsense.

Nothing would get clicks, boost circulation or sell papers for a NYT/CNN/NPR like aggressively getting to the bottom of the Epstein story.

|content=As I learned uncovering an immigration conspiracy to use visas to tamper with the free market for STEM labor by our national science complex, no news organization is trying to sell us the actual true stories that move news product organically. The stories we want are held back.

|content=News is a lot like college admissions: it’s an insiders game. We know it’s rigged but can’t quite figure out how. 

Why take that kid/run that story? Why do you consistently have zero interest in the most interesting kids/stories? 

We’re just now learning *how* rigging works.
