The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on delayed gratification in 1972 led by psychologist Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University.[1] In this study, a child was offered a choice between one small but immediate reward, or two small rewards if they waited for a period of time. During this time, the researcher left the room for about 15 minutes and then returned. The reward was either a marshmallow or pretzel stick, depending on the child's preference. In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores,[2] educational attainment,[3] body mass index (BMI),[4] and other life measures.[5] A replication attempt with a sample from a more diverse population, over 10 times larger than the original study, showed only half the effect of the original study. The replication suggested that economic background, rather than willpower, explained the other half.[6][7] The predictive power of the marshmallow test was challenged in a 2020 study.[8][9]

Future won't have the same growth as the past, which was largely fueled by insane technological growth, suppression of wages via women and mass immigration.

What we have in the future is a shrinking labor pool, destroyed environment, and a race to the bottom.

Pretty much. Anyone who tells you otherwise are the same people that are habitual fuck ups, always looking for the short cut.

By all means speculate with 10% of your net worth, but your base should always be in solid index funds.
