If the chief spy of a country doesn't understand the implications of publishing books from his personal account, then you cannot trust him whatsoever... The stupid are controlling the whole thing.
- hackerlight 3y agoEgo. What's the point of success and mastery if you can't convert it to what you really care about which is status, even if it's lived vicariously through a pen name. It's like organized crime people always having to buy cars with their money then the tax authority comes knocking. Beyond a certain point money is useless if you can't convert it to status and get those feel good chemicals flowing.
- speedylight 3y agoIf nothing else you can use money to help people. Money is never useless my friend. Money can be a burden though, like if you have it but can’t spend like someone else who has the same amount but legally I can agree to that.
- resource_waste 3y agoIve played at really high levels. I'd say 90-98% are really smart. That is the interesting part, a few people arent. They are there for some other reason. I know someone who was inspiring but a dolt, I know someone who had their parents money, I know someone who bandwagon a winning candidate. Who knows is this person is there on merit or not, but its pretty interesting how smart people get when you start moving up. Its the exceptions that are weird.
- coliveira 3y agoI know there are smart people there, the point is that the stupid are really in control. It is the same for most companies: you'll find a lot of smart people (that's why they're successful), but you'll find also a few stupid people who reach the top by other means and make the company a piece of hell for everyone.
