Akira The Don, Naval Ravikant - True Wealth Creation lyrics

There is this notion that
Making money is evil
Like rooted back down all the way to
Money is the root of all evil
People thing think that bankers
Steal our money
It is somewhat true that in a
Lot of the world there
Is a lot of theft going on all the time
The history of the world in some sense is
This predator prey relationship of
Makers and takers
There are people who go out and create things
Build things and work hard on things
Then there are people who come along and take
With a sword or a gun, or taxes
Or capitalism or communism
They are all methods of stealing
Even in nature there are more parasites
Than there are non parasitical organisms
You have a ton of parasites
In you living off you
And the better ones are
Symbiotic giving something back
But there are a lot there taking
That’s just the nature of how
Any complex system is built
But what I’m basically focused on
Is true wealth creation

There's all these different methods to steal
Methods to steal methods to steal
There's all these different methods to steal
True wealth creation
There is all these different methods of steal
It's not by taking money
It’s not by taking something
From somebody else
But it’s when creating abundance

Obviously, there is not a finite number of
Jobs or finite amount of wealth
Otherwise we’d still be sitting
In caves dividing up
Pieces of firewood and the
Occasional dead deer
Most of the wealth is through ambition
In fact, not most
Basically all of it was created and
It got created from somewhere
It got created from people
It got created from technology
It got created from productivity
It got created from hard work
This idea that it is stolen
Is I think this horrible zero-sum game
That people who are trying
To gain status play
But the reality is everyone can be rich
We can see that by seeing in the first world
Everyone is
Basically, richer than almost any
Alive 200 years ago
200 years ago, nobody had antibiotics
Nobody had cars nobody had electricity
So, all of these things are inventions that
Have made us wealthier as a species
Today I would rather be a poor
Person in the first world country
Than be a rich person in
Louie The 14ths France
And that's just because of wealth creation
True wealth creation everyone can be rich
Can be rich can be rich
Everybody can be wealthy
True wealth creation everyone can be rich
Not by taking money it is not about taking
Something from somebody else
But it's from creating abundance
The engine of technology is science
That is applied for the
Purpose of creating abundance
I think fundamentally everybody
Can be wealthy and the thought experiment
I want you to think through an image of
Everybody had the knowledge of
A good software
Engineer and a good hardware engineer
If you could go out there and
You could build robots, computer
Bridges and programs
Let’s say every human knew how to do that
What do you think society would
Look like in 20 years?
My guess of what would happen
Is we’d build robots, machines
Software and hardware to everything And we’d
All be living in massive abundance
We would essentially be retired in the sense
That none of us would have
To work for any of the basics
We’d even have robotic nurses
Machine driven hospitals
We’d have self-driving cars
We’d have farms that are 100% automated
We’d have clean energy
At that point we could use technology
Breakthroughs to get everything that
We wanted And if anyone is
Still working at that point
They're working as a form
Of expressing their creativity
Because it's in them to contribute and
To build and design things
I don't think capitalism is evil
Capitalism is actually good it's just
That it gets hijacked
It gets hijacked by improper
Pricing or externalities
By improper deals where that
You basically have
A collection Or you have monopolies
True wealth creation everyone can be
Rich Can be rich can be rich
Everybody can be wealthy
True wealth creation everyone can be rich
Not about taking money
It’s not about taking something from somebody
But it’s from creating abundance Abundance
To get everything that we wanted Abundance
Abundance to get everything that we wanted
