Interesting speech. I wonder whether the monkeys had a safe way to save their tokens, and whether the experiment would play out the same way if it could be done with squirrels.

She implies that the amount of complexity in finance is just there. I agree with Scott Adams that a good bit of complexity is a deliberate effort to confuse people into making bad choices.
