The 23 year old should be stocked for life?




Of course not.

Neither should he be retired or own his own 40 acre spread with a 4000 square foot house and a six car garage with three Ferraris.

We all find our way in the world the best we can.

The greatest kindness that we can offer to the 23 year-old is a Level Playing Field by which he can find his place.

At 23... I lived on Taco Bell $0.59 bean burritos and ramen noodles for years.

It all comes down to giving the 23 year-old a fair and honest foothold in the world from which he can climb.

Good decisions and bad decisions occur, but in a world of fair opportunity the 23-year old will make it.

In a world of unfair opportunity and manipulated markets, he will not.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
