    See, your problem is you assume the 1% are intelligent. They are not. The attribute they have the most of is greed. Greed can blind even the intelligent, and most of them aren’t even playing with a full deck.

      Of course they’re intelligent. Lots of people are greedy but most of them aren’t greedy and rich.

      I think it’s more the assumption that things won’t change. Plenty of large, previously-succsssful businesses have collapsed because they did not keep a finger up to feel if the winds of change are shifting and instead doubled and quadrupled down on a no longer viable business model.
