It would be productive if financial representatives would just say " here's what we/you have in our portfolios, here's what how our process performed in the past, and with x amount of volatility. Do you think you can deal with that ?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366878066073177705.post-85093031848740620342014-07-23T00:25:14.453+01:002014-07-23T00:25:14.453+01:00I read through your post, but where is the discuss...I read through your post, but where is the discussion in the double slit about the important role of conscious choice? Or the inseparability of consciousness in wave collapse? The double slit experiment has since (expensively) been scaled up to the molecule level. My point is that you are on the hook for a definition of objectivity. Also, your definition of what is science is escaping me in the response you provide above. Do you mean scientific method? Or do you mean an underlying philosophy such as rational determinism? Materialism? You seem to be throwing around important terms fast and loose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366878066073177705.post-674956249152382282014-07-22T14:31:13.351+01:002014-07-22T14:31:13.351+01:00So what about Investing at the Edge of Reality?So what about <a href="http://www.psyfitec.com/2011/04/investing-at-edge-of-reality.html" rel="nofollow">Investing at the Edge of Reality</a>?timarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254802085744425067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366878066073177705.post-897619103318901912014-07-22T13:36:14.076+01:002014-07-22T13:36:14.076+01:00And paradoxically I find myself in the middle of a...And paradoxically I find myself in the middle of a narrative...maybe a more interesting post would be what constitutes objectivity in writing. Another interesting post would be to hear definitions of the terms you use, such as: objectivity and science. This is especially true in light of Taylor's double-slit experiments in modern physics that show that scientific objectivity is an illusion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
