I know nothing, Jon Snow.

What do I know?

A financial ecosystem much like a biological ecosystem needs to have as many different types of creatures as possible. The greater the variety, the better the check on each of its constituents. The inter-twining checks of each such constituent only lend to enhancing the efficiency of the system.

What must then matter is the overall output of such a system. Whether a Paul Singer is bad or a George Soros is good is immaterial. What is of significance is whether there are enough of Soros’ to counter the Singers and and enough Trumps to counter the Obamas in turn. The ideal purpose of the system then ought to be only to maximize this variety of its constituents, which in turn means that the platform for such a system must be rationality; a system of principled thinking that allows for the careful perusal of each notion on equal footing. No thought or idea can be more equal than another. Even the absurd must be accommodated so long as it is devoted to rationality’s daughter, logic.
