I though JMM was going to say one thing here and then another. Just goes to show how dangerous Met. A. Phor can be.
Astronomers can’t see black holes directly. They identify them by inferring their existence by their gravitational effect on nearby celestial bodies. And I’m similarly curious what’s the gravitational force that appears to have kept the SEC from giving Madoff a good hard look.
These are dangerous things and kids shouldn’t be playing with them. It is kind of like walking down the street and seeing a banana peel-these cause people to slip and fall, but not slipping because you trip on a crack instead.
He has a point, though. After giving Madoff a good, hard look, the SEC needs to probe this matter as deeply as possible.
Uh, yeah.
I think my point was the whole contraption was set up for the black hole being the black box of the fund, but the shenanigans around the black box being like the signs of gravity, but then he went in the direction that there was nefarious gravity/interference making the black box undetectable. So I got confused!
Isn’t gravity only an attractive force? Or am I looking too deeply into a black hole…
Yeah, he is proposing a totally different object, one that both clouds his initial point about detection of a black hole and distracts the viewer from seeing the black hole, that would be invisible no matter what. Maybe I’m just a dick- the rest of the article read as if the black hole were Madoff, but the point is that black holes are detectable BECAUSE of their gravity, yet JMM was proposing that Madoff was like a black hole in that his very high gravity was making him hard to detect, and yet contra to black holes, whose gravity makes them both hard to see yet eventually detectable, Madoff was like a black hole operating on light shined towards him.
Also, fulsome will like Pitchfork week- half the reviews are “fulsome might like this”
Well, I will try to act pretentious enough to deserve the accolades. I’ve been kind of slacking on the hipster front of late, though.
Maybe JMM went off the rails when he mixed his metaphor with an analogy? This sounds like a case for an aspiring copy editor…
Well, he did mix and match because he’s claiming there’s a financial gravitational force in play.

Plus, JMM forgot to take Hawking radiation into account. Noob.
Fire mission: danger close, send.
The Mets aren’t that dangerous, anymore.
