In America, we typically think that people who have a lot of money, or who earn a high salary is “rich“. However, that is not the case. If you’re a tech slave, working 200 hours a week, earning $1.2 million a year, you are just a well-paid slave.
Perhaps, the notion or the ideal of becoming “rich” or “successful”, is the red lemming. The red herring. The real goal of something else. Becoming more powerful is the goal.
