Better Humans,
Everyone can be rich.
Getting rich is not a zero-sum game. Many progressives and liberals and the crony politicians that pander to them would have you believe it is.
But getting rich in the market is the byproduct of giving people what they want. (Getting rich as a politician or benefiting from the state is NOT ABOUT GIVING VALUE.)
If you sell products and services to the market and you have profit leftover from doing so, and then you invest that profit into other businesses that make money by selling products and services, you get rich by making humanity better off.
It’s pretty insane how few understand what the market is, how it works, and how it’s the thing that’s brought prosperity to our species.
No state or government has ever brought prosperity to anyone because they are parasitic and can only siphon off value from productive humans. Without value created by entrepreneurs, inventors, tinkerers, and iconoclasts, there would be nothing for the state to steal from.
These are simple truths, and while they are loaded with nuance (like how there are more good people in gov than not, yet most are blind to how they benefit from the broken system), they are first principles nonetheless.
Getting rich ethically is only possible by giving people what they want. And what people want are products and services that make their lives better. When you understand this simple truth of the market, you realize that getting rich is the noblest thing you can do because that means you have made MORE HUMAN LIVES BETTER.
If you have shame around making money or wanting to get rich, DESTROY IT. That’s selfish and narcissistic. Getting rich is about helping people. So make things and give people what they want. The world will be better and so will you.
