You just have to take a moment and look at how stupid these people really are…
In any ratio, how can a reduction in the denominator that increases said ratio be “counter intuitive!”?
These moron people literally think that an increase in a denominator increases a ratio… this is like when you are trying to teach kids fractions and their first inclination is that 1/8th is larger than 1/4th because they see the 8 and the 4 and know that 8 > 4…
This is applied 8th grade algebra… no Calculus even required.. how did all of these uneducated people get into these positions?
In their cognitive reification they are probably thinking it’s “counterintuitive!” because at the same time “there is less money to lend out!” … like “8 is greater than 4!”…. 🤔
It’s Counter Intuitive but QT can free up Sheet…coz we are starting from such excess that Capital gets clogged up…

Need some GSIB Surcharge Relief…at the moment any Variation Margin shortfalls can easily be funded imho. The Russian demon is quickly becoming yesterday’s news.
(Cool, discussing a bit of math)
ReplyDeleteWell, Matt, sure, no calculus is required but also no algebra either-- only arithmetic.
And as you know already, when we dealing with arithmetic, the values of the numbers ALWAYS remain, you know, constant. So, 1/8 will always be 1/8, and 1/4 will always be 1/4, so, therefore, 1/8 will always be smaller than 1/4.
That, Matt, is not the case in algebra. You see, the numbers, here, may be either vary (variables), or they may be constants. But, or course, in any particular problem while you're doing your calculation, the numbers remain constant throughout.
So what makes calculus different from arithmetic and algebra? I'm glad you asked. In calculus, some quantities/numbers in a problem are CONTINUALLY CHANGING.
One final note: Algebra is way, way easier than calculus. It's the algebra that screws up students in calculus class (especially trigonometry, another super easy subject once you get the gist of it early on).
PS: Want to wish all the useful idiots here of the fascist Russian regime a very happy catholic/protestant Easter. My Easter is this weekend that, btw, happens, unfortunately, to coincide with the Easter of the fascist Russian regime. Oh well...
Wait I thought the Ukraines were fascists?

ReplyDeleteSorry. Matt -- meant to say that calculus is way easier than algebra. I mean, the main gist of calculus is to rearrange a problem into algebra so it can be solved ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, sure, you have fascists in Ukraine. Hell. you have fascists in Greece -- then again, you have fascists in every country. What makes the Russian fascists special is that they govern (by govern I mean dictatorially) Russia, along with what are euphemistically called the "federations" (really occupied non-russian nations). But it's also special because it has nukes. Take away their nukes, and their shitty, conventional army is in the deep, blue muddy.
2/8 has larger numbers than 1/4, so it must be larger.
