I really think 99.99% of people would be super happy to just be rich enough to have a car, a house, and good food. We don't need very much. People just dont want to be poor.

It's insane that this was from 1909. Mind blowing. I should read the entire book...

No, hell is loneliness and that's what humanity gets if it goes down the Ai / dystopian route. We can see in China today how people are suffering from loneliness despite having tech to order food and items and having them delivered in hours.

Lol. What a ridiculous comment. Unless it's a joke. Hard to tell.

I've noticed that some people just have some built in resistence to learning about stocks. It keeps them poor and it's almost as they want that. At the same time, some kids learn about stocks in their teens and start getting experience and then they invest through their entire life, seeing their money grow.

Its interesting see that attitude. Someone put it there. I would highly recommend challenging your views on this.

No way the US is catching up to China. They are far ahead in everything except weapons and war.

I used to think so too, but ive seen it increase for 30 years now and the fed just prints more money.

Also there are people who thinks it's fine:

I can't comment on this info myself, it's not my area.
