amassing wealth creates influence because you can sell this "freedom" in exchange for good & services but just because someone has the key, does not necessarily mean they are the jailerhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1391506971686146048?s=20 …

those that start ("good") businesses tend to be the seeds of activities that empower individuals who would otherwise have no self-authorship by increasing the freedom potential of others they are given more authority to use more "freedom" in ways they see fit

a "bad" business is one that feels like it traps you into a soul sucking routine day in and day out often because the ingress money flow and the egress money flow are matched so that you NEED the job

while there are cases where this is because the wage is very small, often that wage is preferred to the alternative of no job at all more often, the situation is lifestyle inflation that causes an inability to build up capital

for well paid workers who feel trapped (like engineers, lawyers, finance etc...) often it is b/c the excess freedom doesn't know how to be used i.e. if u sell ur own time as a slave your very likely don't know how to actually utilize "freedom"

freedom also likely isn't a static state but a sensation of "release" from a sensation of tenseness if you have no debt, then having money doesn't do anything because it has nothing to annihilate with and so produces no freedom

thus those with no debt and too much money and those with too much debt and no money both feel "trapped" because they cannot create annihilations

very wealthy individuals seem to have large "appetites". even when rich, they will leverage their assets to create debt as a constant source of annihilation for the incoming money flows & constantly start new ventures e.g. trump, musk, etc...
