Eric, Agree. There seem to be two types of people: a) the ones to want to be compensated by money, and translate this to power b) the ones being humble enough to recognize that they stand on the shoulders of giants, as maybe Einstein did.
Can you imagine Einstein aspiring being a billionaire? I do'nt. Great minds should convince by their ideas, not mediated by money, which is just a vehicle of exerting power anonymously. Right now we should all see how destructive all sorts of money-mediated power is. Rossi a trillionaire? All hevaens beware!
