> Your narrative is as old as time

So's yours. You're arguing that only might is right and that only greed works. You're simultaneously complaining that the people you're explicitly locking out of your chosen success path don't support you. Show me how you support them and I'll accept some of the rest of your argument.

> and it’s always the same.

Let me correct that for you: previous attempts to systematise broader opportunity have been corrupted by power. The bigger the attempt to make things fair, the further it's been corrupted. Those who don't care about fairness have abused the system for their own ends.

I still live in hope we can develop a system that decouples power from leadership, enables more people to have greater power over their own development, and better rewards collaboration and co-ownership. I acknowledge the failures from the past but I refuse to accept this is the only way life can be.

> So no, you have no idea of life or history.

I'm fairly interested in history and I have _a lot_ of ideas about life.
