In the first book of Plato's Republic, Socrates asks Cephalus what the best part of being rich is. Cephalus responds:

"Not cheating someone even unintentionally, not lying to him, not owing a sacrifice to some god or money to a person... the possession of wealth makes no small contribution to this." (331b, Reeve translation).

For the current generation of billionaires, the best part of being rich is that it allows you to lie, cheat and steal with impunity.


Well, it definitely means different stuff for different people but these seem to be the extremes. It might not seem to be a lot, but it represents a great way to re-evaluate yourself by these two poles alone. Have a beautiful weekend!


🔥 Wise UNCLE 🤘


And yet people look up to them in awe, wishing for the privilege to lie, cheat and steal as well.
Anyone saying that Saylor isn’t stealing #Bitcoin with his cantillonaire privilege is kinda delusional.


that might say more about this generation than the numbers in the accounts.


I can honestly say all the people on Nostr I have met in person seem to be good people  wanting to help you not cheat you.

Freedom to thrive v. license to steal is a painful dichotomy.


Currently almost anyone is able to do that without punishment! Strange times we live in!


Honesty is the cornerstone of true wealth!🫡 🫂

Sad that they could create positive change but instead choose selfishness.

Fuck you money isn’t meant to enable you to say fuck you to the little people.  It’s meant to enable you to say fuck you to injustice, corruption, depredation, and tyranny.
