    The world is full of Steve Wozniaks who just never get a chance to shine because they are not interested in capital accumulation or are really eccentric or can’t take economic risks or just lost a cutthroat business competition because they trust or are kind.

    I actually think the world economy runs on trust and kindness. If even one percent of agreements people make went to the courts, the economy could not function.

    There are mozarts and einsteins toiling in fields right now.

    I agree. Giving everyone opportunity is the right thing to do and it leads to increased prosperity. There’s no easy way to do it. It’s something difficult and worth trying to do.

    We have an unnecessary zero-sum-game for an economy.

    The economy has generated unbelievable amounts of wealth, not zero-sum at all, a huge increased sum.
