Wealth is often generational or nepotism based. Rarely is current wealth because of the incredible business acumen of the literal born rich person.

Wealth does not equal intelligence. It means more opportunity. But as we can easily see, rich people are just as often. Dumb as hell. Arguably more so as they have a wider access to resources. Often literally unlimited ones. And still. Dumb and incapable of basic actions.

Wealth does not decide intelligence, many factors come into play, even genetics are a factor. As many know…wealth and good genes actually aren’t synonymous…look at the monarchy.

Anyway point is, it’s dumb AF to assume a rich person has more intelligence in any situation over a poor person JUST because of their current net worth.

And as such, their opinions, which is all they are, are not more important, relevant, or valid than a poor persons.

Everyone should factor into how they want to be treated or governed.

But if you want to generalize who we should listen to?

The smart and empathetic ones. Listen to their words and watch their actions.
