Eat the rich but the reasoning here isn’t compelling. What’s the evidence? Just a trust me bro?

A lot of people have lots of interaction with the rich, some even the filthy rich…

… and those interactions have led to opinions about seemingly universal traits that they share.

That’s evidence, but not the kind of evidence you’re looking for I think.

Who’s going to pay for this rigorous scientific testing? Womp womp

those interactions have led to opinions about seemingly universal traits that they share.

Are these “lots of people” in the room with us, right now?

Tired of people trying to medicalize the economy. You’re not a billionaire because you’re some kind of psychological anomaly. You’re a billionaire because you’re at the right place in the right time with the right friends.

Gates was born into the IBM dynasty just as the demand for GUIs took off. Bezos was a hedge fund manager for tech companies before he formed Amazon. George Soros and Warren Buffett happened to walk into an era of explosive economic growth just as they were handed billions in credit to gamble with. Elon and Thiel got into Silicon Valley just as Ben Bernake was turning on the unlimited money cheat for a select group of insiders.

Being in the right industry at the right age with the right group of friends seems to be the only common denominator.
