> Isn't your entire argument that hedge funds are smarter investors, and therefore you cannot compete with them?

I don't think that hedge funds are particularly smart, outside of convincing their clients of their value. I'm saying that hedge funds are smarter than "investors" that think that buying GME at $300 going to meaningfully hurt hedge funds in any way. I'm not upset at the people losing money. I'm upset at the people peddling these imagined narratives as facts, which ends up causing people to lose money.
