Interesting take and one we should all keep in mind while assessing ourselves and others - that said, I disagree with one aspect of your analysis...”swindling someone else while they do the work for you, everyone would be doing it. “ not everyone would be doing it ... most people are self-aware enough to know that is unethical and have enough self-regulation to resist doing so. Elon lacks emotional intelligence despite his other varieties of intelligence. Thanks for an interesting post!

Yeah, but LOTS of people are unethical and lack self-regulation.....jails and prisons are filled to the brim with folks with those traits, and I don't think they're all potential billionaires.

I have to agree with you...those in jail are outliers though (one hopes)... I was saying that most (again one hopes) wouldn't pursue the larcenous/rent seeking path... Jeremiah seemed to be a bit absolute in his declaration
