Nope. I’m actually having multiple sponsors pause their contracts because it’s a bear market. So unfortunately your theory just isn’t valid. And I don’t give a fuck about speaking gigs. I won’t be going to conferences for a long time since we have a baby coming in a couple weeks. So again, theory invalid.

Please consider the possibility that after having studied the available information, thinking from first principles, accepting reality, imagining second and third order effects, and evaluating tradeoffs, I simply came to a different conclusion than you did.

Because that’s what happened.
