1/ Something I've learned in 36 years of teaching super talented, high achieving, highly ambitious young men and women: A great many people believe what they believe because they think it's what smart, sophisticated, high achieving people believe and are expected to believe.
@paulg Based on my experience, level of 'posh-ness' generally has an inverse correlation with how deeply rooted one's wealth is. Shallow wealth (or even fake/wannabe wealth) = more posh.
@honam@dscheinm I think this is true for life in general, you get what you deserve. So if you don't like what you are getting or how things are happening around you, the best way to change that is to make yourself deserve what you want.
"It is, of course, much easier to complain about how things are bad rather than do anything about it, which is why people prefer to complain. 1/100th the satisfaction, but 1/1000000000000th the effort."
