The nerds are trying to save us from the cool kids

23. Great analogy!

And I agree with most of the comments in this thread too.

The "cool kids" often become "the deciders" in this country despite often being mentally lazy.

Wealth often comes down to contracts that declare ownership. I'm not a hater of Bill Gates, by any means, but even his tremendous wealth could mostly be attributed to his father being a corporate lawyer and a great deal with IBM. Gates didn't even create DOS for their PC's, but had purchased it from a better programmer. The purchase thereby gave him ownership of it.

I saw Gates on a TV trivia show about computers years ago, and I was shocked at the time that I knew far more answers than him! And I had only took a few computer programming and engineering classes at that time, majoring in mathematics.

Yet he had the privilege to hire more talented people to work under him to build Microsoft, with himself as the head because of his government-backed ownership status.
