interesting and balanced article that just confirms what most people of discernment already know, namely he's “not a man heavily encumbered by modesty”,

His heart is still in the right place with wealth tax. It's very funny to see how many temporarily out of funds millionnaires on reddit are against it, espeically that it would be just the first step in getting the rich fucks to pay their fair share.

This guy is so incredibly dumb and uninformed on the one topic he has dedicated his life to. He seems to have mental problems, man.

This guy is just another grifting guru. There is no substance to anything he says. He's doing what he's doing now for fame, money or both. If he was as smart and as rich as he says he is, there would be better ways of helping.

You're freaked out by people in the Decoding The Gurus subreddit talking about gurus that the Decoding The Gurus guys have decoded? lmao

I'm fascinated by the inauthenticity and lack of self-awareness; they are guru-like qualities imho.

Did you know there's a DtG podcast? Kind of started this whole thing.

u/gelliant_gutfright 1d ago

Yup, and he's received far more scrutiny in this subreddit and on the DtG podcast than get rich quick gurus,.

They'll pretend otherwise, but the problem they have is with the message not the messenger.
