He does not say that anywhere. It should not be rewarding. You may "like" the math more but it contributes nothing to society. It takes away much needed engineers and therefore important and consequential problems remain unsolved so that these people can get rich.

@@DaHobbitification You have no idea what you are talking about. There is nothing more important in the world than the movement of capital. There is no problem more important than making that movement more efficient.

​@@jonjo2598 Ballsy from someone who wrote the moronic comment above. Value investing is important, but creating trading algorithms to turn a profit is not important. Trading derivatives is not important. Only thing important is better evaluations on who deserves capital. But you get little added value out of the 80% of people in finance whose talents would be much better spent elsewhere.

@@DaHobbitification Oh please. You probably don't even work in finance, you wouldn't believe the value added by trading. Markets are not made efficient by magic, they are made efficient by traders.

@@jonjo2598 Lets just settle this. Do you believe that the added value of a randomly selected 80% of talent in finance is better used on making markets more efficient than they are or advancing AI to make everyone a lot more prosperous, ending any poverty, perhaps even the necessity of a large proportion of people spending most of their lives in jobs they don't like? Making markets efficient is important, but do the added benefits in progress begin to level off when you push past some threshold of talent. If you think so you are what I said in my previous comment.
