… right.

At no point did you deny that you’re using leverage.

Which means that if your understanding of ‘how it all works’ is… wrong… in any significant way…

Well then your personal situation unwinds in a micro version of how the rest of the economy currently is.

Your strategy relies on never making a significant mistake.

Statistically, you will.


Oh right, also this:

A few million is nothing.

Maybe enough to confidently own a pretty nice home.

Assuming the starving mob doesn’t visit you.

In terms of fixing society?

That’s roughly on the scale of helping hundreds or thousands in your local community, on an ongoing basis.

Nothing, in the grand scheme of things.


… A couple million?

Jeff Bezos makes ~3 million dollars in a single hour.

An hour.

Try and square that, really try and think about that.

That house you wanna get, that non profit you wanna set up?

That you took huge risks for, for multiple years, some how lucky enough to never fuck up?

That’s an hour of Jeff sleeping.

He could see your house, or envision that non profit in a dream, and then on a whim, just buy 8 of them when he wakes up.

The solution to this, to trying to fix society is not trying to beat them at their own game.

The solution is breaking the rules of the game.

After all… that’s how they got to be where they are.
