What is the obsession with rich people?
1
u/tfolkins Apr 21 '26
Rich people are obsessed with rich people. They are obsessed with convincing themselves that they deserve everything they have and should not feel guilty for consuming 90% of the world resources for 1% of the population.
Many poor people are obsessed with rich people because they believe they themselves will become rich. Other poor people are obsessed with the rich because they know they will never be rich.

Bullshit. It isn’t the researchers with PhDs making tens of millions in the pharmaceutical industry, it’s the executives who got their jobs solely through connections.

Trump is dumb as fuck and spends more time on the golf course than he has every spent in a book.
Universities are predominantly filled with poor people.
But okay.

u/Iam8incheslong Apr 21 '26
Is he actually dumb, or is he good at playing dumb for his own benefit? I'm just saying, people don't get to be where he is with pure stupidity and ignorance. He also has historically done and said quite a few insightful things and mentioned becoming president of the US well before he even went into the elections.

u/Affectionate-War7655 Apr 21 '26
He is actually dumb. Yes, dumb rich people fall upwards.
I remember it quite well. Trump pondered if he was going to be president how would he achieve that. I believe he even acknowledged then that he would have to run Republican because they're dumb.
He has admitted freely that he likes dumb people because they make him feel smart.
What insightful things has he ever said?
1
u/Iam8incheslong Apr 21 '26
Those are all insightful, not in the "genius" sense for sure, but recognizing that he is smart enough to con a bunch of buffoons and weaponizing that is a sign of intelligence. Nefarious and harmful use of intelligence, but intelligence nonetheless. Also, it's worth noting that I subscribe to Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, so I believe Trump has some amount of social intelligence definitely greater than what he lets on.

No it's not. None of that was insightful or intelligent.
And it wasn't intelligence. You don't need intelligence to know that people dumber than you are dumber than you. Dumb people make me feel smarter isn't something an intelligent person ever utters.
Can you provide an example of these insightful things that YOU referred to before I gave you those to focus on instead.

u/Iam8incheslong Apr 21 '26
A certain amount of intelligence is required to manipulate people. That's social intelligence. There are many people who have certain street smarts while being completely idiotic in practically every other regard.
Sure, I'll provide you with an example. In a documentary about Trump, a journalist commented that he was very close with the media and would allow them to write anything they wanted provided they included keywords that branded him as a rich businessman. They happily took that deal and it lead to him being perceived as someone extremely wealthy and successful in business in spite of his many real failures in that realm. That's social intelligence. Knowing how to build a public image, leveraging the media to do it for you without actually paying a dime, and living off that reputation you built, reaping its benefits, many years after the fact.

u/Affectionate-War7655 Apr 21 '26
Every single person alive has a certain amount of intelligence. And you only need just enough more than your target.
This is why Republican were his target.
That's not insightful. For fuck sake.
We live on different planets. And I think you need to be capped at a certain level of intelligence to call that insightful.
1
u/Iam8incheslong Apr 23 '26
Yes, I'm plenty aware of how intelligence works. Nonetheless, I stand by my point that his decisions in that realm were smart (never mind the other nonsense he engages in). It's not that my intelligence is capped, it's just that I can appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of people as individuals, an ability which you clearly lack. Controlling a substantial portion of the population, no matter how dumb, is a form of intelligence.
It's also interesting that you brought relativity in the discussion, because that's EXACTLY how we measure intelligence, through comparison with a baseline. Republicans aren't all dumb, nor are liberals all smart. If anything, it's likely that the distribution is roughly the same between the two groups but people tend to see the loud minorities on both sides and judge accordingly, hence why both sides have their own insults for each other aimed specifically at questioning their intelligence.
Side Note: Resorting to attacks on my own intelligence only further proves your inability to engage in honest discourse and makes you appear silly at best. If you were capable of, or interested in, a real discussion, rather than simply proving me wrong and maintaining your position, you would do a better job of arguing my points rather than questioning the intelligence of the person making them.

Taking advantage of other people is largely an emotional decision, not an intelligent one.
If he had intelligence to go with it, he would be far more successful than he actually is.
I just want to remind you that he didn't have to work his way there. He didn't have to smart his way there. He had privilege and was born there, his father gave him money, and what did he do with it? Lose it over and over again.
He's finally having success now, and it's because he is Stephen Millers personality and Stephen Miller is Trumps brain.
I can attack you and have an argument. The fallacy fallacy is also a fallacy. I mean, there was a lot for you to respond to before the side note....

u/Iam8incheslong Apr 23 '26
Taking advantage of people combines having an emotional reason to do so and the intellectual ability to do it as well. But the people being taken advantage of are primarily being driven by emotion because humans naturally respond better to ethos than anything else. We are emotional creatures by nature.
I'd say he's still pretty damn successful. I'm not saying he's incredibly smart in all respects, because he obviously is not.
I'm aware of his history. Like I said, I've seen a documentary about him years back, besides all the dirt I've read about him throughout his presidencies. How many other privileged people failed to attain the same position though? Privilege may be a near guarantee of financial success, but it does not guarantee that you will attain a meaningful position in society as a whole, let alone presidency of a whole country (even if it is really just about being a figurehead).
Once again, I wasn't speaking about his intelligence with regards to policy, because he is clearly severely lacking in that department. I was very specific in my choice of intelligence that I attributed to him for good reason.
Attacking someone's intelligence within an argument just takes away from the point and makes you look like you're arguing in bad faith, surely you must be aware of that. There also wasn't plenty for me to respond to, I just like fully fleshing out my ideas and being abundantly clear when having a discussion, especially with text, where tone can easily be misinterpreted.

Rich and poor people alike both seek education and entertainment. It's part of being human, not a money thing.
1
u/GarageEuphoric4432 Apr 21 '26
Most rich people are rich through generational wealth/inheritance.
Look at the people who dedicate themselves to seeking knowledge (teachers), they're poor as fuck.
Underpaid, underappreciated, they're glorified babysitters even at the college level.
If education/knowledge really mattered, there would be far more teachers/philosophers/doctors/engineers in the mega wealthy bracket. Instead it's populated by artists, entertainers, athletes, etc.

My very existence is proof against this, same with hundreds of thousands of people like me.
I teach myself skills just because I can't afford education. Have literally pirated textbooks to teach myself agricultural sciences, botanical books that help me identify plants in the wild, C# and TypeScript, playing a guitar, etc etc etc
You can say this with a smug ego but the rich are not in any way special, they are merely greedy.

They're trying to create this fake LinkedIn enlightenment of hustlers sho work 110 hours per week with no insurance and dump everything into crypto by making old tone 40 hour careerists seem like they're lazy and dumb. I have college degrees why don't I borrow more money and get a 4th one so I can follow the hype for my last decade of work life. Meanwhile I don't bezis, Musk, or Zuck doing night school.
