Maybe half that time.

I’m a mathematician too. They’re probably speaking from an intuitive grasp of utility.

Yeah, but still - the elephant.

“I love life on Earth… but I love capitalism more.”

Do the top 1% have more or less than 30% of the total wealth?

It’s around one in two million.

Are you saying that you’re in the tribe of people who are sick of identity politics?
