To accept the market for it shows is to be a consumer. To strip pretense, question, and control what it shows is my desire to be its architect.

My Guiding Philosophy

Capital, at its core, is stored time. This $20 dollar tip gives me delivery priority later—and someone clocks off early to see their child; paying babysitter wages keeps aunty present with me—and someone gets to sleep an hour longer. Selfishness is not separate from service. Currency is only one unit; it is self-interest that guides outcomes. Economics observes it, and accounting stores it. It is my goal to enable that self-interest, Adam Smith's so-called "invisible hand," to improve society through finance and capitalism.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.
