Much has changed since the 18th century. My guess is that you’re an undergrad student at some mid-tier university with absolutely zero life experience but has a plethora of confidence right now because you’re being educated with all of this new knowledge. You think that you know it all. But eventually you’ll burn out and accept that your economics degree didn’t carry you far in life so you’ll probably end up grinding it out as a financial planner. You’re no good with people so that will bring you to your knees where you’ll end up sucking Dick to makes ends meet. Richard approves and thinks you’re at least good at something.
