Think of the "Magic Formula" like a strict diet of broccoli and chicken breast. We know it builds a healthy body (wealth) over time. But when you see your neighbor eating pizza and losing weight (buying meme coins or hot tech stocks and getting rich fast), you feel like an idiot. The hardest part isn't the math; it's the FOMO. Greenblatt’s genius isn't the formula; it’s having the stomach to look like a loser for two years so you can win for the next twenty.
