Men of Merit
In this world, the highest kind of man is one who offers a great product or service, original and unsubsidized, or who uses his intellect to generate income he has truly earned. That’s the fundamental difference between someone of real ability and the likes of a crony bureaucrat, an OnlyFans or Instagram model, or any figure propped up by superficial metrics.
There is no greater man than that.
Not a nepotism baby.
Not a subsidy king.
Not someone selling gimmicks or ‘toys’.
Not a landlord riding a wave of capital gains.
Not a hustle grifter inflating image over substance.
Not someone rewarded per word count instead of output.
So much of what is celebrated today lacks true efficiency or merit — and choosing to associate your life with selling trivialities says far more than you might think.
A lot of success today is merely survivorship bias, like the illusion of a capital gain that quietly drags down your long-term returns.
