Why Stupid people do so well
Because they are not afraid , they just do it. A lot of intelligent people hesitate all the time. If you see something that works and you just copy you might feel stupid because not everybody is doing it yet. But it usually works as long as you respect this wonderful quote from Warren Buffet
“What the wise do in the beginning, fools do in the end.” Warren Buffet
"People feel deep anxiety finding out that someone they thought was stupid is actually more intelligent than they are." -
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
Epictetus
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
If you want control you can't live
Even the NYT reach the conclusion, Coronavirus is not going to disappear. So it's better to start living again.
My take as everybody knows is that countries that did nothing (Sweden ....) had
the same results as countries where people were locked and masked etc...
In the US states that did not destroyed the life's of their citizens had the same results as California that destroyed jobs, lives and companies. It was an option.
The result is that people are moving from California to Texas & Florida. It's everything better.

“I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

We have a strategic plan. It’s called doing things, Herb Kelleher, American billionaire airline executive and lawyer
"He who works all day has no time to make money." - John D. Rockefeller
I think both this phrases are right. I see more trouble from people who think & think & think and don't start. The people who don't think a lot and just execute turn out to do better than the thinking ones.
The triumph of big government
I am an optimist and I truly believe that the good old times were not good and that we have amazing opportunities if we live in the free world.
However I noticed that these days the young vote left. There is no more soviet Union to visit, we don't watch people risk their lives to escape Communist Germany etc... People think it's a good idea to let government run things. Everybody wants more social, more taxes and more government. BIG Government triumphed in Europe and now in the US.
If you are rich because you help other people, yes the rich people did something for others, solve some problem, create some benefit for society. Sometimes people portray the rich like villains and the people that have nothing, did nothing and help no one as "good people"
To me money = virtue you must have done something good for people to buy your product, solution, game, service. Yes Jeff Bezos did a lot for me and I gladly gave him some of my money. He deserved my money. Since he can help millions of people he is rich. If you can impact millions you became very rich. With the internet now that is possible.
With the Triumph of Government we must be ready for a perfect world that doesn't work. Instead of having an uncertain world where some people fail and some people are rewarded we are going slowly for a world where no one can fail , everybody is a winner of nothing.
No Risk No fun
"The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive." Thomas Sowell
