Finance is full of cynics

Finance is full of cynics.

• On the SHORT end of timeframes, VCs commit to the notion that the global population's ignorance is overwhelmingly unfixable, and so scalping is the key to capital accumulation, which can then be redeployed at the fancy of those who exit - some of whom are wiser, and/or more benevolent than others.
• On the LONG end, empaths commit to the notion that fixing the global population begins with fixing the individual, and so individual reparations and upgrades are executed piecemeal, in the hope that gradually the average improves.
• Somewhere in the MIDDLE, bureaucrats commit to the notion that the shorts are too vicious, and the longs are too stupid, and that happiness lies in avoiding either extreme, and simply persisting with administrative life in the middle.
• Artists, generally seem to flutter ACROSS these frames, associating from time to time with whomever they can find alignment with on a piecemeal basis.
