Some absolute gems from from Alex @thiccyth0t at thiccythot@substack.com, one of the deans of trading math -- a MUST FOLLOW
" 'Just win more' isn't scalable advice"
For those seeking moonshots, you must come to terms with the "Jackpot Paradox," what economists call the "ergodicity problem"
"That taste for outsized risk has seeped into everyday culture"
"We're becoming a culture that worships the jackpot and increasingly prices survival at zero"
and this leads to "degeneracy and desperation that has arisen from the culture"
Desperate for economic and social parity, the Zs and Ms "risk too much and drawdown too deep."
"Build more edge rather than risk more size. Don't kill yourself chasing the jackpot."
And here is my favorite:
"'Just win more' isn't scalable...." 
Long term success in market speculation is not so much about looking for a set up as it is about understanding the math behind trading
