Akira The Don, Naval Ravikant - Everybody can be Wealthy lyrics

Overall capitalism is intrinsic to
The human species
Capitalism is not something we invented
Capitalism is not even something
We discovered it is innate to us in
Every exchange that we have
When you and I exchange information
I want some information back from
You I give you information
You give me information
If we weren't having a
Good information exchange
You go talk to somebody else
So, the notion of exchange and keeping
Track of credit's and debit's
This is built into us
As flexible social animals
We are the only animals in the Animal
Kingdom that cooperate across
Genetic boundaries
Most animals don’t even cooperate
But when they do
They cooperate only in packs where
They call and walk together
And they share blood So they
Have some shared interest
Humans don't have that Humans don't have that
I can cooperate with you guys
One of you is a Serbian and the other one
Is a Persian by origin I’m Indian by origin
We have very little blood
In common basically none
But we still cooperate
And what lets us cooperate
It's because we can keep track
Of debit's and credit's
Who put in how much work? Who contributed how
Much? That's all free market capitalism is
So, I strongly believe that it is
Innate to the human species
And we are going to create more and
More wealth and abundance for everybody
Everybody can be wealthy
Everybody can be retired
Everybody can be successful
It is merely a question of education and
Desire You have to want it
Everybody can be wealthy
Everybody can be retired
Everybody can be successful
It is merely a question of education and
Desire You have to want it
If you don’t want it that's fine then
You opt out of the game
But don't try and put down the
People who are playing the game
Who are playing the game?
Because that's the game that keeps you
In a comfortable warm bed at
Night That's the game that keeps
A roof over your head
That's a game that keeps
Your supermarket stocked
That's the game that keeps the
IPhone buzzing in your pocket
It is a beautiful game that is worth
Playing ethically rationally morally
Socially for the
Human race And it's gonna continue to
Make us all richer and richer
Until we have massive wealth creation
For anybody who wants it
The US is a very popular country
For immigrants because the American dream
Anyone can come here be poor and then work
Really hard and make money and get wealthy
The definition of wealth is
Different for different people
A a first world citizens definition
Of wealth might be
I'll have to make millions of
Dollars and I’m completely done
Whereas to a third-world poor immigrant
Just entering the country
And we were poor immigrants who came
Here when I was fairly young
Wealth may just be a much lower number
It may just be that I don't have to work a
Manual labor job for the rest of my life that
I don't want to work But
Groups that despise it will
Essentially bring the entire group
Down to that level
If you get too many takers and not
Enough makers your society falls apart
Everybody can be wealthy
Everybody can be retired
Everybody can be successful
It is merely a question of education and
Desire You have to want it
Everybody can be wealthy
Everybody can be retired
Everybody can be successful
It is merely a question
Of education and desire you have to want it
You live in a communist country
Look at Venezuela right
They were so busy taking
And dividing and reallocating
That people are literally starving
In the streets
And losing kilograms of body weight every
Year just through shear starvation
Another way to think about it imagine
An organism that has too many
Parasites You actually need some small number
Of parasites to stay healthy
And you need a lot of symbiosis
Like all the mitochondria in
All of our cells that help
Us respirate and burn oxygen
These are symbiotes that help us survive
We couldn’t survive without them
But to me those are partners in the wealth
Creation that creates the human body But if
You were just full with
Parasites that were purely
Parasitical you would die You would die
Any organism can only withstand a small
Number of parasites And when
The parasitic element gets too far
Out of control you die
Everybody can be wealthy
Everybody can be retired
Everybody can be successful
It is merely a question of education and
Desire You have to want it
Everybody can be wealthy
Everybody can be retired
Everybody can be successful
It is merely a question of education and
Desire You have to want it
I’m talking about ethical wealth
I’m not talking about monopolies
I’m not talking about crony capitalism
I’m not talking miss pressed
Externalities like the environment
I'm talking about free minds and free markets
Small scale exchange between
Humans as voluntary
And doesn't have an outsized impact on others
But I think that kind of wealth
Creation if a society does
Not respect it If a group does not respect it
That society will plunge into
Ruin and darkness
