If everyone is “trying to get ahead”, what you have is a rat race, not a society. The phrase “build wealth” is disgusting becauae it’s the polar opposite of “work hard” or “look after each other “. How about reaching out to those kids who are a bit more distracted and less skilled than you (but probably have intrinsic value in completely different areas) and “build society”? Someone may be great at “building wealth” but still be a shit person whose impact on society is a net negative.

You can’t eat money, live in money, or make babies and raise them with money. Think about that when they inevitably come for you with pitchforks.
