You look at the statistics and basically you're largely already born wealthy or you are in poverty especially in California. If you look at social mobility in California it's almost as bad as medieval Europe. The system that enabled hard work to be rewarded is gone. The creative professions that used to be a vehicle for persona wealth are gone. We are living in an era of corporate feudalism where you're either born on top or born to fail but the only question that is relevant today is "who's your daddy?"

If we can't disrupt success… 'move fast and break' success… we're very close to societal collapse. I turned a ten-year software business into a Patreon that gives away free software and is beginning to make it open source, and I feel I'm doing some tangible things to disrupt 'success'. Our sense of value has to be founded on different ground.
