  • I think it takes a certain kind of idiot to want to be obscenely wealthy.

    For example: look at Trump and Musk. For all their grifting do they actually seem happy? They are spending so much time and energy on their bullshit when Trump would rather be golfing and Musk would rather be playing video games.
    They could both just do that. They have more than enough money to never work another day yet they are desperately trying to increase their Capitalism High Score and have the admiration of the public.

    So it takes a certain kind of idiot to have that much wealth and keep working for more, and the world is full of idiots. Some small % of them get lucky and fail their way to success, and people fail to notice the “Survivor’s bias” of the whole thing.
