QuoteBut you've had an entire lifetime to get rich, and even after getting helped out by the Illuminati at a young age you couldn't get that one done.

Meritocracy is a lie.

If you think inequality is the result of a disparity in individual effort you are full of shit.

Good thing I don't think what you think I think! After all, I am not you. In my experience, in success there is luck, personality, persistance, smarts (of differing kinds...irritating kinds...good kinds...and the kind that deliver results), who you know, timing, the economy at the time, and so on and so forth.

The quote you pulled is EXACTLY NOT ABOUT MERITOCRACY. It is about the Illuminati....roaming the world, hiding in the darkness and collecting those who, as RE says, have fathers who are mysterious Illuminati like figures themselves...and helping their children (regardless of the size of their children's brain pan) succeed regardless of merit.

I was just figuring that between RE having gone to the cool kids school in NYC AND unfair help from the Illuminati he should have been GOLDEN! Never said anything about him deserving to be rich. Hell, he should have had that just with an inheritance! Completely supports your idea that not everyone gets what they deserve through merit, and some who might APPEAR to deserve can still screw it up for themselves.
