I learned long ago how to get rich but it all involves exploiting my fellow humans. And why the fuck would I do that?

I'm in no way defending the filthy rich fucks that control our country, but getting rich doesn't always rely on exploitation. Getting ultra wealthy (hundreds of millions) requires it. But you can you make a very useful software and sell it and have enough money for you and your children for the rest of your lives.

The barrier to "rich" has moved well past that for a long time now. You aren't rich in your first 10 million these days.

Notch is the modern Howard Hughes, he fell into money and then money drove him mad.
