But it's actually true. I've personally had the experience (as a freelancer) of watching people that I had just recently met be laid off because of what I was being generously paid to do. I did not like it.
I could at least comfort myself by the fact that what I was doing was actually useful (and creating efficiencies that destroyed jobs), whereas concealing risk is actively deceitful and destructive.
According to the article though, this deceitfulness is actually good, not destructive. It puts us into a more productive Nash equilibrium than we'd be if we each individually assessed the risk of our single investment and said "na, too risky".
