Same reason why, if someone blackmails you with a pic or vid, just let them release it. They likely won't. But who cares. If my friends and family see a webcam vid of me furiously masturbating, that's probably more damaging to them, than me. I'd just own it.

I mean, hopefully.

I don't believe this. It's definitely helped me identify holes I didn't know about. I've also had many coworkers who have found it beneficial. Even the ones that hate it, they just report every email with a link, and don't click anything. Which is still better than clicking on phishing links.

Yea, I'm on the internet.

Why can't I do that forever? Why do I have to come back to being productive?

I dislike the implication that your goal is always to be creating, or to be productive.

And? That thesis has nothing to do with collapse, nor a pyramid scheme. It's just explaining the wealth inequality.

Compound interest is just math.

You can try, but that's old school. Many job postings now say "WE DO NOT ACCEPT CALLS" in big letters, because people keep blowing up their phones trying this BS.

If we had lots of time, then it's easy. Just buy total market index funds and sit and wait. This is why vampires are usually rich. If you've lived that long, and you're not rich, you're doing something wrong.

$2 at 7% a year for 50 years = $58.91

$2 at 7% a year, for 500 years = $1,505,863.24

The power of compound interest!
