Science can never "catch up to the religions" because it has a different subject. Science aims for truth, while religions aim for something that...
Actually, creationism is the result of a basic conflict that all religions have today. The wish to believe in a god is as strong today as it...
This is a machine generated pattern, and it looks indeed like the mother of all curve fitting. I think the problem is not that it's a...
This trend is probably exaggerated due to a statistical problem. The millennials are people born in the mid-1980s, and are now in an age where...
Your study about the Elliott Wave trading, was this only one person? How high was his expectancy? Did the study only include trades that followed...
No need for such a list. You'll see quickly from the responses who knows what he's talking about and who's just a troll.
I've noticed that some traders seem to use methods based on the irrational or esoteric. Perry Kaufman's classic "New Trading Systems and Methods"...
Welcome to this forum. As you can already see in this thread, we're not actually elite - we have here members of any sort of intellect and any age...

Well, I suggest that you google for the phrase "punctuated equilibrium". This is not how evolution works. Evolution is indeed driven by...
Those species have reached an equilibrium with their environment. Put them in a different environment and they will change. A simple proof that...
According to mainstream Christianity, Adam and Eve were no real people. According to Creationism, they were real people and bred by incest.
I would define that a strategy is over-optimized when the optimization process reduces the life trading returns, instead of improving them. But...
By the way, why are you always asking what I'm doing? In a discussion it does not matter at all what a participant is doing and how long he is...
The difference is that trade returns can be measured for the past, but trade risk can not be measured at all, not even for the past - that's what...
You're probably right. Thorp's paper also deals specifically with the stock market, but is based on risk, which can not be measured for the...
