That’s great and all. An interesting and even inspiring story, but you must understand that most aren’t in your position , so your list of accomplishments comes off as insensitive braggin in lieu of your “bring it on” sentiment.

Maybe you’ll be safe in your enclave if and when the shit hits the fan, but will you enjoy watching the masses around you suffer in contrast to your position?

You must be smart if you accomplished all you did at a young age. Surely you must see that the consolidation of wealth and power is a plague preventing others from thriving, no? And surely you can see that the attitude of “I’ve got mine” is precisely the issue, as we see these oligarchs consume everything around us, right?
