Studying finance only to realize in the end—

Seemingly researching numbers, but actually studying the economy; as you delve into the economy, you find it's all politics; digging deeper into politics, you discover it's rooted in history; on the historical level, asking why leads to philosophy; philosophy ultimately points to the human heart. And the human heart? Patterns. How do patterns come about? Causal cycles. Cycles and repetitions are reincarnation; the essence of reincarnation is impermanence, and impermanence points to emptiness...

After going in circles, I finally realized: it's all a scam.
