Are some personalities just better? (dynomight.net)

The thought experiment goes, imagine financially we crash. Everyone is on the same financial footing. There are no poor, no rich, only personalities.

In 5-10 years what happens? Literally nothing would change, the rich would be back to being rich and the poor would be back to being poor. It's a matter of mindset. The poor remain poor by decision.

Why they make the decision is their choice.


Interesting. Right at the start tho: "let's assign 0..1 scores to some intangibles and argue like we now have data". Makes the "soft sciences" such a bitch.
