I coached MBA students at a top five business school but I didn't work directly with students interested in finance but I knew them enough to completely concur with your assessment. All those entangled with Esptein, the type of men they are is not hard to explain at all.
The parallel between high-risk investment behavior and sexual entitlement makes total sense when you think about how both stem from the same fundamental belief that rules don't really apply to them. What's wild is how this mentality gets reinforced in elite circles where the financial upside of bending rules has historically outweighed any real consequences. Makes you wonder how many other domains this same psychological pattern shows up in beyond just finance and sexual misconduct.
I loved reading this. I’ve also written about erosion. About the moment performance slowly turned into self-abandonment. About being the “secret weapon” in high pressure rooms, the nervous system cost of always recalibrating, and what happened when the clothes stopped working. Would love to know what you think https://jes321.substack.com/p/when-the-clothes-stopped-working?r=1yhozx

You are cooking with grease here!
Wow. Your ability to move from one line of work to the next and bring your experiences with you is incredible.
I think most people don't have the insight to understand that they are the commodity value is extracted from. Thank you for sharing.
This is a doctoral thesis right here
