The carrot problem in TFA describes when there is an incentive to lie - what you're describing is something else entirely. It's not usually in the interest of someone with wealth to lie about how they got there.
There's a big difference between being wrong/full of shit and outright lying because to tell the truth would harm your ability to make money. The former is just being an idiot, the latter is being a market manipulator/con /artist/grifter/etc.
- LouisSayers 3y ago> when there is an incentive to lie ... The one I see constantly is people selling courses on how to make money. They talk about how they made money as a consultant and decided out of the kindness of their hearts to teach others. What's clear is that the money the majority of them made wasn't from "doing the thing" but rather from the course that they're teaching. Then someone takes the course and copies + puts their own spin on it. Rinse and repeat.
