Hello! One of Enron's incredibly junior investment bankers here. One thing we discussed a lot at the time is that we couldn't trace the business model of the company due to its Byzantine accounting structure. But Enron was so high flying on Wall Street, we assumed we were missing something.

Are we not even making our own disinformation? What happened to American manufacturing?
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
