Re: Get your forensic derivatives analysis early (none / 1)

I don't think one necessarily leads, or should lead, to the other. Rich people are rich because they have been fortunate, greedy and selfish: it is very rarely a question of logical skills. Though obfuscation skills can come in handy.

Being not rich is your power in commentary. You really should use it.

You can't be me, I'm taken

Re: Get your forensic derivatives analysis early (4.00 / 3)

We also rarely describe emotional skills, manipulation skills, and general modeling of other minds as intelligence. "Playing the game" requires these skills and the will to use them to your own ends. Without them you draw a salary at best - which means you are shut out of the big money.

you are the media you consume.
