Wealth creation is not a mathematical formula, as the truthseeking
quant geeks still want everyone to believe. In the end, their
lack of real-world experience and pride corrupted their mathematical
genius and destroyed them. You may be able to digitize a daVinci,

creating assets, creating value, or whatever act of self-perpetuation that
drives us to create a legacy.
