Who should occupy Wall Street

 The paper seems preoccupied lately with the ruling class. Sorry for the NYTimes, but dealt with the high IQ issue in my blog yesterday, clearly ahead of Douthat. (is this paper going to survive? for the record, on its record? ). Douthat proposes Wall Street be occupied by a class that has some humility. Not neccessarily capable to handle  math, as this subject  is difficult (as the NYT suggested the day before), but an oligarchy humbled by a deeper understanding of reality. Another columnist  says, humbled by paying more taxes.
Agree. How much IQ does one need for accounting?  But proper accounting requires...Accounting to whom?

(Nuclear) Options On Wall Street

A good number of scientists  and engineers, graduates from the best schools, work now on Wall Street.. Some with PhD s in nuclear science.  The best and the brightest, squeezing the last cent from every transaction. Ten years of hard work to count cents. Or are they in secret preparing Abombs to blowout the European economy
