Reeeally scary way of thinking sounds totally alien to me.
Even if everybody in your soil were to practice that, and the outcome is that 1% owns 90 or so% of capital in your cunt.

Im still a fan of that optimistic mind in a way though

You should try and read for once on your life: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber is a good start.

I'd rather be a naive optimist than a naive pessimist.
