And that, is the rub.
Those who can, can.
Those who can't, mirror those who can, and fail.
Those who are stupid and can't, also mirror those who can, and languish.
Mine isn't a different take than yours.
Mine is the foundation that holds up the roof.
Yours is the roof.
Smart roofs know what holds them up.
There's a view from the roof. It's impossible to expalain the mountains you see in the distance to a brick in the foundation.
There aren't many brick roofs...but a brick doesn't understand this.
A little kaballahesqueness:
All vessels have a capacity.
A thimble sized vessel can be full, realizing it's full potential.
A lake sized vessel can be full, realizing it's full potential.
The thimble can overflow.
The lake can overflow.
A thimble is not a lake.
human minds are vessels.
Punchline:
Our society has decided that my completely uneducated naive view is a match for your expert long studied view.
The stupid needn't stay within their bounds in our society...so they gamble....
I am simply ignorant if I haven't the knowledge of investments and know of my shortcoming . I am simply stupid if I sheeply invest money I can't afford where educated
people cast....
