Watching the knots vs core drama unfold it’s really fascinating to see how reliably all the high-iq, high-signal folks have lined up on the core side and all of the mid-curve schizos have ridden on the short bus to knots side.
Even if you paid zero attention to the substance of the debate and just looked at who was on which side, (and which side was covered in its own feces) it’s just eminently obvious where the intellectual firepower is.
I find it fairly easy to side with the super geniuses instead of the people who struggle to tie their shoes in the morning before giving up and blaming the Jews for inventing shoelaces.
