The entire history of humanity is the fight between those who work, and those who make others work. Workers never won this fight, ever. The pyramids got built for free, serfdom, slavery, wage slaves, it’s the the only fight there is. Millions died in the trenches in WW1, millions died in every war. Dumbasses, they played you. Have you ever woken up at 6am to go to a job? Did you take a 30 year loan to buy a house? Did they tell you can only really quit working at 65? Sorry, If you don’t optimize for income, you are beyond retarded. There’s 8 billion people on this planet, and I intend to have people do my work for me. Or even better, have them pay me for doing something completely useless like building a web app, or even better, managing people to build said web app, or even better, hiring the manager to manage the slaves and then collect most of the check, dole out crums. I don’t know, seems like a small subset of society gets it, so I can’t be that crazy. This is how a lot of the world works, no? Am I making this up? Isn’t that what being smart is? Getting it. If you don’t get it, you are probably not intelligent.

>The entire history of humanity is the fight between those who work, and those who make others work. Workers never won this fight, ever.

That's why unionization is important for the ones who don't have the power. >Millions died in the trenches in WW1, millions died in every war. Dumbasses, they played you. I'm unsure what point you're attempting to make with this statement. >Have you ever woken up at 6am to go to a job? Did you take a 30 year loan to buy a house? Did they tell you can only really quit working at 65? Sorry, If you don’t optimize for income, you are beyond retarded. Again unsure what point you're trying to make. Why does it matter when I wake up to do my work? I wake up at 5-6am every day because that's my optimal sleep schedule. >There’s 8 billion people on this planet, and I intend to have people do my work for me. Okay? So you purely see work as a means to what, get more stuff and food? That's tragically simple-minded. Work can be done to solve real problems and help people, such as researching diseases that impact humanity. Is that the work you're having people do? You seem more focused on material goods and personal energy expenditure than anything else

>the fight between those who work, and those who make others work >I intend to have people do my work for me. >have them pay me for doing something completely useless >managing people Some people and/or their ancestors have been involved doing these type of things or at least aware of them for many generations. In some sense or another they've been there and done that. Among them, there are some who want to accomplish more in ways that require they put their own nose to the grindstone not much differently than is being done by those under highly coerced labor. No matter how smart you are there are some things that can not be realized otherwise, and those who have the weakest true ability will more likely fail when this type of strength becomes challenged. There's the story of the carpetbagger who came in from New York City to a small Texas town on the train in the Old West. Where a few of the regular old boys were sitting outside the station like they normally do, sometimes whether a train is due or not. Now the city slicker debarks the train and asks if anybody can carry his heavy bag to the hotel a few blocks away for a small payment. One of the idle setters steps up, in his overalls, and agrees so off they go, the visitor not even breaking a sweat in his tailored suit as they come past the finest estate right there in the middle of town. He wants to know who owns that, and his intentions are not truly benevolent, so he asks his porter whose home that is. The local fellow, hayseed still in his mouth, answers that it's his own home, and he'll be going back there to his barn to continue shoeing some of his horses after he gets done carrying the luggage and collecting his payment for the task. The shyster in his astonishment asks how did the Texan manage to end up with such a nice spread? "By carrying my own damn luggage."

Yeah, sure, that exists. Thing is, though, only those who exhibit exactly that attitude call it "intelligence". In the language the world uses, it's called "egotistical asshole". And, sorry, but however smart you think you are, you don't get to make up language; it's a community product. So what you are -- or aspire to be -- is not "intelligent", it's asshole. HTH!
