Any billionaire!
Think about this please.
Name one brilliant person, that was themselves utra wealthy, in all of history.
And am not referring to military leaders or dictators. That takes reliance on others, that were the smart yet less brilliant people..
You can go throughout history. The truly smart were usually solitary, yet struggling financially.
Not users of other people. Using other people is not smart. It's an abuser of others, which is dumb in reality.

no one is forced to use markets, you know that, right
by your logic, even being employed can be considered as using your employer 🙄

@thrash guy, I know you want to justify cheating others. So you can be a billionaire yourself!
You don't want to think!
Being mentally lazy is not smart!

@DeWayfarer how is money made/earned? normally? do you know?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@thrash you don't need to make a dime to be smart. And in fact the great thinkers never worked! They were too smart for that!
They did what they wanted because they loved what they did!

@DeWayfarer you just need to deflect pertinent questions instead? 🤔
if money didnt exist wed still be in late agrarian age right now. money is more or less responsible for facilitating the comforts you/we take for granted today; great thinking without the tool that is currency is just fantasy. ignoring money doesnt make you smart; if "unintelligents" can master it then why is it beyond the so called smarts 🤔

@Thrust looked into this.... i can see why you would say that. then I wondered about the people on the other side of the coiin—and remembered that humans exploit one another all day every day
a few examples:
given that this is true, I am forced to consider that soros was simply capitalizing on market inefficiencies—he's just vilified because of his insane profits, no?
a few examples:
2. Profiting from Cheap Labor (Fast Fashion or Low-Cost Goods)
Analogy: Much like speculators betting against struggling nations or industries, some consumers and companies exploit low-wage workers in developing countries by purchasing products that are made in sweatshops or under poor working conditions.
Exploitative element: Ordinary consumers might buy cheap clothes or goods without considering how those low prices are made possible by underpaid workers or unsafe working environments in countries with weak labor protections. They are indirectly benefiting from the exploitation of vulnerable populations
1. Gentrification (Displacement of Lower-Income Residents)
Analogy: Just as a financial speculator might profit off a failing economy or market, gentrification involves wealthier individuals moving into lower-income neighborhoods. The influx of wealth can raise property values and rent prices, which may force out long-term residents who can no longer afford to live there.
Exploitative element: People who move into these areas are often aware that their actions will drive up costs for the existing residents. The displacement and loss of community stability for lower-income people can be seen as a form of exploitation, especially when it disproportionately affects marginalized groups.
4. Using Natural Resources from Vulnerable Regions (Resource Exploitation)
Analogy: Similar to how hedge funds might profit from a nation’s failing currency or bonds, companies or individuals may profit from extracting natural resources in regions suffering from political instability or poor governance.
Exploitative element: While some may argue that this creates economic opportunities for those regions, the reality is that these entities often pay minimal taxes, exploit cheap labor, and leave environmental damage in their wake. In these cases, the profits of the business are disproportionately high, while the local communities remain marginalized and underdeveloped.
2. Taking Advantage of Someone’s Emotional Vulnerability (Manipulating Others for Personal Gain)
3. Taking Advantage of Financial Dependents (Such as Family Members)
4. Taking Advantage of Others’ Lack of Knowledge or Understanding (Intellectual Exploitation)
5. Exploiting Friends for Personal Gain (Emotional or Financial)
6. Enabling Harmful Behavior (Making Situations Worse for Someone Else)
8. Engaging in False Pretenses to Gain (False Charity or Using Sympathy for Personal Gain)
9. Using People for Connections or Status (Social Climbing)
