    You’d be surprised. My dad once complained about “the top 10%, the billionaires” and I had to I’ve inform him that based on wealth and income, he’s the top 10% just being middle class, and the billionaires basically don’t even show up as a percentage because there’s only like a thousand in the entire world. Most people do not understand how any of this works and do not have even a basic understanding of how any of these people got wealthy in the first place.

      Now that doesn’t surprise me a bit. Many people struggle with curves and the intuition of growth systems.
