I don't think I've given up, but I don't know how I'm supposed figure out the magical way to pierce through human difficulty that is unique to every person (esp over an internet connection), nor do I want that burden, its way too tiresome for me.

Much easier for me to see that volatility didn't have much further down to go, swing in and out of it taking profits and building a better position before it blows, and here we are people finally noticing that things aren't what they seem…

It's the most tiresome thing there is. Take your position, that's prudent. Cultivating this world takes personal sacrifice. I don't blame you for not wanting to take that burden in full, and frankly, much of your time would be wasted in the effort. Personally, I will die a poor man when this planet is through with me, and that's ok. I would even go so far as to say it's my goal. The scores we keep may be different. Take your money to the grave. I'll be taking the changes that I've made.

I just want to live a good life with my wife, family and close friends, maximize the amount of free time I have, minimize the time I spend working, while avoiding the downsides of other peoples decisions.

I'm much more likely to be able to push the dirt on this glorified ant hill we call earth through the outcomes of my actions, than anything that I could ever say with words.
