Virtuous Greed, Unvirtuous Greed? 

Greed is good

So our best friend Gordon gecko tells us that greed is good. 

Greed means to have, to hold. 

So funny thought; to be greedy with money isn’t necessarily to gain more, but simply to hold what you already got? 

I think the hard thing is once again… The main detriment to modern day times and thinking is so much of America is stunted and held back by weird morals and ethics. 

Once again, this paradox of ethics in America… Honestly none of it really makes sense. And the more I think critically about it, the more bizarre and confusing it gets. No wonder why so many Americans are so miserable, society is giving them all these mixed signals that makes no sense.

Whenever people think that they want to become a millionaire, what do they mean to think is I want to spend $1 million. But, nobody ever wants to hold onto $1 million. 

I have a crude analogy, I call it like semen retention for money. To blow your load is not desirable, even though it might give you some sort of short term pleasure. 

 my personal thought is actually, the true best strategy here is to conserve your spunk to the maximum, to never blow your load. Essentially the strategy is each and every time you blow your load, you lose power. And it is kind of true… To produce a child is very physiologically expensive; a woman would never understand how much energy and force is expended after a man ejaculates.

It looks like all these women want the semen of Elon Musk. If Elon wanted a funny prank, and to maybe raise some money for some of his endeavors, she would actually just open source of semen, or donated it all to a semen bank, and have people auction it off, and use that money for some sort of good causes, or investing in certain businesses etc. 

It does seem factual that there may be some sort of hierarchy in terms of quality of semen. For example, if you’re a 4 foot two man, very high likelihood that your children will be kind of short. But, if you were yelling, and 7 foot something, very likely that your children will be very tall. 

So I think the funny bizarre trend is all these guys, they are essentially giving away their seaman for free; and there is this weird strategy in America that somehow… Women are seen as the more beautiful and desirable sex. But what if it were opposite; in the animal kingdom, the male is the more beautiful animal. It goes with ducks horses, peacocks and the like. 

The moralization of greedThe difference between spending $1 million and holding onto $1 millionThis semen ain’t free!
