  Personally, I was one of the people who used to believe that, because I was born and raised in a society that taught me that since birth. I can totally understand that there are people out there who still believe it, and I do everything I can to try and bring them up to speed. It’s hard to unlearn everything you have learned, especially if you’ve already made big, irreversible decisions in your life based around the lies you believed. I think the key is to try and find common ground, and to empathize with people, even when they’re not acting their best. I believe nearly everyone is redeemable.

    So did I, but I’m more referring to the Wall Street and CEO as well Billionaire types who wouldn’t do anything if they didn’t get more out of it.

      Yeah, that’s totally valid. There may be some of us who don’t make it, billionaires are probably too far gone, it seems to me that living for long enough surrounded by sycophants and people who can’t say no to you warps your brain and fundamentally robs you of your humanity. In a way, it must be extremely alienating.
