My belief is it’s not the amount of money you have but how you use it and how it’s earned. Remember it’s the love of money that’s the route to all Evil.

I mean I get that, but basically most real people are sharing 1% of wealth among them, that means just having so much more than the 3x poverty line crowd is inherently unethical no matter what you do with it. It starts to be like ted bundy working the suicide hotline. Ends stop being able to justify means.

My problem with shall we say the super rich is it’s money mainly earned through Usary, typically those individuals will only enroll their own tribe to benefit from their ill gotten gains. It would be interesting to actually ascertain what ethnicity those top billionaires are. Perhaps the rest of us could learn a thing or two.

When you start talking about the oldest most economically powerful families in history and the world just the reduction of numbers of people start to make things resolve in personal directions. I'm not sure it matters directly. It's not like it's a useful metric from a reform standpoint. The only real commonality that matters is shared philosophy. That's why I try to reduce things to simple heuristics and axioms. My enemy is suffering, and from that seed can grow a whole world view.

True, but still, in this context it's a useful metric, and if people would stand up for anything, we could later help them make better moves.
