A faster lap by going blind sounds reckless until you hear Lando Norris say he drives better with the delta display switched off. That’s the spark for a bigger idea we explore: acid capitalism, where imagination and shared beliefs move markets more than the neatest spreadsheet ever can.

We start with the critique that more frequent shows dilute intrigue and use it to sharpen the mission: reduce noise, focus on decision design. From there we test how narrative beats decimals in places you wouldn’t expect. An F1 franchise marked at six billion becomes a case study in brand economics. Nvidia stops looking like “just chips” and reveals its platform moat through CUDA and TSMC’s world-class execution, while hyperscalers quietly stretch asset lives to boost reported earnings. Tesla’s 20-quarter coil is not dead money; it’s stored energy that can compress a future rerate positive or cataclysmic into a single year. Meanwhile, China’s 10-year yield hovering below 2 percent acts as a simple, powerful tell for local equities.

We also dig into mispriced complexity. Spirits makers face a brutal cobweb: whiskey needs a decade, tequila seven years, and changing demand punishes inventory mistakes for an age. That’s why Diageo and peers trade near decade lows; not because the category is broken, but because time is. Pain today sets up tomorrow’s scarcity. We map one pragmatic approach: harvest option income against depressed, range-bound leaders to grind down cost basis while you wait for pricing power to return.

Along the way, we examine Bitcoin vs MicroStrategy premiums, joke about longevity supplements, and acknowledge the temptation to obsess over every decimal point. The takeaway is consistent: decide what to ignore. Turn off the dashboard that steals your attention, then do the simple, hard work and respect cash over optics, find moats that scale, and back visions that mobilise real capital.
