@8b01df53 I just don’t understand why more aren’t seeing the pattern. Every couple of years, some new author will show up and write about these kinds of systemic problems, and they too quickly get rich and promptly vanish. If not from view, than from relevance. Almost all of them effectively retire by 35.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” ― Upton Sinclair
Not only are we doomed to repeat history, I think we get some sort of masochistic kink out of repeating it on purpose. Sometimes I think we're all just bugs in a cosmic jar who take turns being a different person or manifestation of carbon for eternity. It's probably the closest I'll come to sharing an opinion with Elon Musk. It's like we're a Sims game.
