Starting is the hardest part, and time is the strongest force. This means that looking out for yourself is one of the worst wealth creation strategies. It condemns you, and those around you to hand-to-mouth living. A human life is short. A human working life is shorter. At the same time, hereditary privilege is pretty vile. Inequality compounds because the tools you are given to start are so important. Who gives you those tools is a lottery of birth. The storybook path of the immigrant who works hard, so their child can be an educated professional, and their child can be an entrepreneur, and their child can be a philanthropist, artist, community worker or drunkard. The alternative to hereditary privilege is Community Wealth. Compound what we build together. Sovereign Wealth Funds and Community Wealth Funds paying a gradually increasing Universal Basic Income. Compounding our start. Freeing us from constantly starting from scratch.
