He likes it better if you call him GStan.

GStan, it is OK to be wrong and learn from others.

And the fact the system isn't rigged doesn't mean you're somehow inadequate if you're not rich and famous.

Just means you're an average battler like the rest of us, not really rich, not really poor.

I have to denounce this statement. The concept of the system being rigged is larger than this conversation. Specifically, what i am talking about shouldnt be posed as proof against that entire concept. its not proof against it.

There is still for sure evidence and unequivocally I will say there is truth in the idea of a rigged system. I dont get this broad brush being used, its more obstructive than it helps.

I did not prove the system isnt rigged. Lets keep it in the context of what I have been talking about, specifically.

Since gstanford was talking about trade jobs and such specifically, he could be proven wrong easily. And while i agree that most people can work towards a decent existence and can do well if they put their energy and mind in the right way.

It is true, your example of a person or a couple dedicated with their mind in the right state to achieve success.

But, a million dollars...thats nothing compared to the real wealth of the top bracket. The elite do exist and they are not a welcoming bunch. The top of empires and their boards, to politicians and the true elite... its not pretty. A cut throat elite world that very few will ever know.

but


thats nothing to do with a person being able to have a decent life and a decent accomplishment. If someone is looking at the trillionares with jealousy and envy, thinking its not fair and they dont have a chance.....well, thats probably true. You and I, we will never have such success. it is entirely out of our reach. But, we dont call it rigged because we understand that there is no gain in focusing on what we dont have. Its not empowering.

We understand that we can work and have a decent life, we see it and live it.
