People think that the bankers steal our money. And, you know, it's somewhat true that in the lot of the world, there's a lot of theft going on all the time. The history of the world, in some sense, is this preter pre relationship between makers and takers. There are people who go out and create things and build and work hard on things. Then they're people who come along an ta with a sword or a gun, or taxes, or chrony, capitalism, or communism, or what have you. There's all these different methods to steal. Even in nature, there are more parasites than there are non parasitical organisms. You have tono parasites in you whoare living off of you. And the better ones are symbiotic to giving something back, but they're a lot bhet are just taking. That's us the nature of how any complex system is built. But i am basely focused on is true wealth creation. It's not about taking money. It's not about taking something from somebody else. But it's from creating abundance. Obviously, there's not a finite number of jobs or a finite amount of wealth. Otherwise ye would still be setting roun in caves, figuring how to divide u pieces of firewood and, you know, the occasional dead deer. So most of the wealth in civilization, in fact, not most, basically all of it has been created. And it got created from where. It got crueated from people. It got created from technology. Got crite from productivity. Got criated from hard work. So this idea that is stolen is, i think, this horrible zero sum game that people who are trying to gain status play. But the reality is, everyone can be rich. ([Time 0:00:00](https://share.snipd.com/snip/5f2b8667-17a7-43d4-8c66-38447fc985a4)) - Tags: #humans
