In my previous post I divulged the secret of success: “opacity“.
By masking your intentions and knowledge from others, you create information asymmetry the gives you an unbeatable edge. The asymmetry produced by intentional deception is the key to understanding why free-market theory does not enable prediction and is therefore, not viable as theory. It is rather, a dogmatic ideology that serves con-artists, bandits, and other masked men.
I offer the following video clip from the movie “The Princess Bride” as a case-in-point illustration of how an opaque masked man of modest mental faculties defeats “the smartest man in the world”.
(Be sure to take notes!)
