    I’m pretty convinced these days that generational wealth as a goal leads to exactly this problem. Not that I disagree that we could be using that time in more fulfilling ways, but generational wealth as a construct probably inherently means significant inequality, unless it’s some utopian wealth where it’s equally shared.

      Indeed. The solution for the problems caused by nobility isn’t to make more nobles, even if that noble is oneself.

      There needs to be a cap of some kind. I don’t want my kids to end up like Musk where they’re fucking idiots with millions.
