Value investing is risk aversion.
I will neither yield to the song of the siren nor the voice of the hyena, the tears of the crocodile nor the howling of the wolf.

We inherit nothing truly, but what our actions make us worthy of.
For one heat, all know, doth drive out another, One passion doth expel another still.
Amongst such as out of cunning hear all and talk little, be sure to talk less; or if you must talk, say little.

Historically, education has been about batch processing: standardize everything against the average, rank kids, sort them to see who gets more and who really doesn't deserve to be there.
