I think "could this even work, if you were to do it?" is sort of a question at the wrong level of abstraction though. Actually modeling how you would carry out a plan is imagining yourself being powerful.

I can imagine being in a headspace of "well, look, CLEARLY nobody is going to put me in charge, or loan me enough money to start a business. The people who get those opportunities are just qualitatively a *different sort of people than me*." (e.g. for class/race/gender reasons).

I also consider it an open question whether it’s broadly possible to improve people’s lives by giving them money. I’m sure you can sometimes, but are those times more like edge cases?
