Hi Scott,
you're bringing an interesting perspective to the discussion.
The two things I took from Ailman's presentation were that 1) as a long-term investor responsible for a pool of assets that needed to last across generations, he had to consider the way minor changes will compound across time, and 2) some of those compounding changes will be important enough to affect investment decisions, while others would have to be put aside.
Which part of his presentation sounded like corporate cultural Marxism?
