So much negativity on this thread! I'd rather figure out what this guy did right and take steps to implement some of those things into my life. It's easy to take pot-shots at people and harder to admit that someone might have found a better/more interesting way to live than you.
- crimsonalucard 11y agoNobody likes negativity, especially on HN. But rather then explicitly condemn the negativity and be excessively positive for no reason, why not analyze why people feel negative? Believe it or not, negativity can be justified. And although wealth is a controversial topic I believe that an innate feeling of unfairness that most people feel towards the super rich exists because it actually is unfair. This feeling of discontent has toppled empires and changed entire economic systems. It is worth it to explore this negativity rather than suppress it. >I'd rather figure out what this guy did right and take steps to implement some of those things into my life. It is not physically possible for everyone to live this way. No single man has the intelligence or strength to contribute enough GDP to the economy to justify such wealth. If you want to live like him you must exploit the labor of others. In short to be rich sometimes you must do things that will promote feelings of negativity in other people.
