The Life of Midas Penn
Midas Penn was born in China in 1990. His thinking is shaped by Karl Popper's critical rationalism, George Soros's theory of reflexivity, and years of practice in trading. He believes that knowledge advances not through confirmation but through the willingness to be wrong — and that sound judgment is built not by proving oneself right, but by correcting oneself honestly under uncertainty. He values hypothesis over conviction, feedback over certainty, and asymmetric risk over false precision.
