Four classes of societal lies you have to get past to get through life
Lies to children
Lies to young people
Lies to poor people
Lies to middle-aged people
There are no lies to old or rich people because you have to learn to lie to yourself to get to old age and/or high wealth

rich people get grifted out of their money all the time; like, that’s what TED Talks and the art market are for
if you want to grift a rich person just tell them they have good taste, or ethics
