- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y ago>Money is power is a zero sum game. Just the opposite. By engaging in positive-sum transactions, society as a whole becomes wealthier. That's how economic growth occurs. Not everything is accurately seen through this nihilistic, conspiratorial power lens.
- bjourne 1y agoNothing nihilistic or conspiratorial about it. Money gives you power over other people. You having more power over others means by definition that they have less power -> Zero sum.
