Darwinist evolution in this person's mind: by rewarding inside networkers and punishing late to the party outsider, you'd reach a state where everyone "cheats" to a point this behavior would be the norm.

If we push the wild west theory to its limit, we'd end up in a world where formerly insiders' financial news would cycle and ripple at super fast pace, akin to having a public mic in every trading floor.

This is probably what this person think would be the fairest: instead of a hard to enforce artificial safety, we'd have a transparent, free to join jungle.

But he fails to see most people arent sharks and therefore electors or noisy public representatives always push to slow things down.
