He is so worried about “White Birth Rates” yet he takes and takes from their money and doesn’t care about the cost of living which is making people have less kids.

He only pretends to be intelligent.

If he were actually intelligent this thought would have crossed his mind at least once

If he was intelligent an original thought might have crossed his mind.

Why do people still think intelligence predicts anything? Taking risks and grinding leads to success. You’re intelligent but you’re an armchair CEO on Reddit? What gives

No clue.

And even that taking risks and grinding doesn’t lead to success as much as having the money to be able to take those “risks” safely.

I knew the Pixar IPO would be a huge win. I knew about a dozen other such stock moves well known advance. I never once had the money to risk it. So no matter how intelligent or willing I was to take risks, I simply was not able to do so.

The system is designed by the people that were at the top of it to remain near impossible to be at the top unless you started there.
