Let’s say that you have an opportunity to gain billions to fix the society from the top. Do you think that you would keep your integrity and use your money for the greater good, or that you would be corrupted by your power?

If so, would you still accept the offer knowing that you would just make the situation worse?

And if you believe in yourself, how would you try to convince an hypotetical entity to give you this wealth?

To avoid regrets let’s say that if you decline the offer your memory about the deal gets erased.

    1. that’s the only way you become mega-rich

    People have become billionaires by literal lottery. They’re not evil geniuses; don’t flatter them by suggesting so.

        True. Then again, you don’t hear a lot about the Carnegies anymore either. Social mobility just works in both directions, and about as often.

          Yeah, no, that’s a massive streaming pile of self soothing bullshit that isn’t convincing anyone but you.
