The Hidden Cognitive Tax of Asset-Class Grifting

The cognitive load required to be an asset-class grifter is enormous. You’re forced to jump from asset to asset as a detached observer, constantly chasing timing. Miss it even slightly, and you’re trapped—stuck with a position while fully aware of the opportunity cost bleeding elsewhere. What makes it worse is that the criteria that justified the entry are rarely reproducible; the setup is gone the moment it’s used, which compounds cognitive strain.

Throughout this process, nothing is entrenched. Nothing is imprinted. You’re not shaping conditions to your advantage—you’re reacting. Every decision resets the mental stack, every position carries regret risk, and nothing compounds structurally in your favor.

Whereas I author conditions directly and entrench them to the second.
