Intelligence doesn't necessarily mean industriousness, by my observation many highly intelligent people are (almost by definition) curious and lack the focus required to monazite in a capitalistic society.
And I know this will get downvoted, mostly by the people I'm talking about : If you're still working a day job where you swap your time for money, you are not highly intelligent, maybe intelligent, but not highly. Jobs are for suckers, automate your wealth generation.
- barrkel 7y agoWhat if you enjoy what you do and get a sense of gratification from working alongside other people and being paid for it? When I spend my time at work, I don't actually feel like I'm selling my time; I feel like I'm actualised as who I am, what I am, and doing things that matter, and the company shows its appreciation via my bank account. Some of my coworkers are wealthy from previous employment in finance industry, but they still work here because they enjoy it, it keeps them connected with everything. One guy in particular implemented hedging and arbitrage strategies over various cryptocurrency exchanges - he automated his wealth generation - but he's still with us working on machine learning when he's not out sailing.
