There are those who know but with their winnings, history has shown they
almost without fail join the opposition and gain entrance to the private
club and be given inside information so they can repeat their feat with
less risk next time.
That is the advantage of capitalism over religion. Capitalism rewards in
this life rather than the next, because it understands risk well.
The only curse of capitalism is that it breeds loneliness because it is an
exclusionary game.
In that sense, the strongest opposition to capitalism is human nature
because humans are genetically social beings.
The rich cover up their unhappy loneliness with material trappings and
private security cocoons and rely on envious admiration from the aspiring
for psychological comfort.
