@cshentrup@mastodon.social my friend this is not a game. it explains why people with little to lose become drug dealers, even though the modal outcome is pretty terrible, as much as little lotteries. or, as a financial analogy, holding options renders portfolios "risk-loving" (volatility is good for you), and people in their life portfolios often hold real options that also render them geared to enjoy, rather than dislike, volatility.
