This is all bullshit. Self-aggrandizing lies to give the appearance that this massive failure was all in the plan. The guy was trying to play games with stocks and got caught. He's a dumbass with no idea how the business he didn't want to own but was forced to buy in the end works. It's not deeper than that.
I'm sure his daughter hating him is very upsetting but it's not why he set 40 billion dollars on fire.
just need to preserve this line because its so spot on
That's a really reductive oversimplification of the situation.
How does it account for PTSD sufferers at all?
No, there are many brain changes involved with PTSD including the prefrontal cortex and the study clearly didn't take it into account.

I didn't even say anything about the amygdala. I said PTSD. Don't put words in my mouth.
Or maybe you should try engaging others in good faith instead of getting defensive someone challenged a notion that makes you feel superior to conservatives.
Come back when you're willing to. Blocked.
Soooo....if you blocked him, how is he going to come back when he's willing to talk? Lol.
The blocking feature on Lemmy is as broken as Reddit and he can still reply to my messages whenever he wants, I just can't see it.
Which is beef #56484783 I have with Lemmy. What I said should be silly, but it's not, because the core software doesn't fix the issues Reddit had especially with blocking. Blocking should give one the last word, but it doesn't.
And that's ignoring the fact that block evading is trivially easy as he can just bounce back here with an account on another instance, and even if a mod bans him, he can keep coming back with VPNs.
Lemmy as a platform is so fucked.
That last point is really interesting. Conservatives and right-wingers can't grasp that other people don't think like they do. I remember during the January 6th insurrection how all the people doing it really seemed to believe they would be seen as heroes. It's like they had no idea over half of the US didn't agree with them.
“Why can’t I name them binary numbers or ‘techno’ and have them shut up?”
“People are too woke”
it's got big this energy
Why not both? Because you’re absolutely right that he got fucked on a bad gamble and then tried to save face, but I can also easily see him trying to buy stuff just to stick it to the left. (But in all reality again you’re probably pretty solely right lol)
I question if he actually got fucked on a gamble or if he was just inept and all of his decisions were largely a whim rather than based on some true data and research.
Maybe a bit of an extreme comparison, but it reminds me of when Donald Trump, also in the US, actually got elected president there. I remember thinking he looked quite wan in those early news clips. Like he was shocked to have actually won, and was rapidly having to adjust his expectations of the future.
