Note that I didn't mention your wife at all, nor did I pass any value judgement about your beliefs or profession. Any offence you took was due to your own insecurities, and getting hyper defensive about it isn't helping make your case.

I do think it's very relevant to bring up someone's background, education, profession, beliefs and more when deciding whether to make a life-changing decision based on their advice. I'm sure there are >0 people who are thinking about selling their stock portfolios right now, and this post might be the one to tip them over. They deserve to know whether you are a financial analyst or an AI founder, and whether your own decision was made fully analytically or based on the position of the planets and stars.
