I have come to realize the trick to making money is not to think too hard-- which is why those whose principal asset is the ability to think complex thoughts go into law or academe, not business.

Business is a grim disappointment to such people, except in brief periods like the one just ended, when complexities of the sort that academics apply to language seemed to generate huge returns in finance.

So much for that. It's back to dumb again.
