Whether it's Justin Sun's opportunistic behavior, Uh-huh's sycophancy, or Liang Xi's abstract madness, they all found their own paths to success within the realities of society. Even in other eras, they could have found their own way. The reason so many people despise them is because the flattening of the internet has made their development process more transparent, revealing the true face of the world. In reality, many of those who "got rich first" had dark and sordid early experiences, but they could embellish their rise to power by bribing the media. Trump's decision not to cultivate a persona but to flip the table and give the middle finger demonstrates his understanding of the current information transparency; rather than maintaining a false persona, he chose to show the most authentic side. Smart people learn quietly; only fools are powerless to do anything but curse.

I missed one of Brother G's blind dates.
