Great piece. AI can scale research, but not temperament. The real edge is sticking to calm‑weather rules when the tape turns red. Do you think discipline can ever be fully systematized?
You've put your finger on the part I'm least able to outsource. No, I don't think discipline can be fully systematized, and I'm not sure it should be. The emotions don't leave. Mine certainly haven't.
What the $32 desk actually buys is the setup: the policy written in calm weather, the fair-value range, the orders sitting in the book before the print lands. The system can carry the decision. It can't sit through the hour those orders fill against a red tape and feel nothing.
That part stays human. The work is watching the fear without obeying it, and remembering that a price moving isn't the business changing. I've sat through enough of those hours to trust the homework. I still feel every one of them.
