An Interview With "The Man"
Re: An Interview With "The Man"
Excellent. Thanks for pointing this out.
I've been slowly working my way through his older posts. What a talented writer!

That was great. Raptitude has worked its way up to my every-day reading list.
Key quote that should strike a chord here:
"Do you know how people with hoards of money get to have those hoards of money? They make some money, and then they don’t spend it all. They keep some each time it comes in, and they use it to make more come in next time. That’s how power is accumulated. Instead of accumulating power, most of my employees accumulate objects in their homes, or they just burn the money as it comes in, on booze and expensive sandwiches. What I see is people setting up their lives such that they become dependent on powerful people like me, which is exactly the opposite of how one ought to build wealth. That’s why I’m The Man and they work for The Man."
