    2. If that is true then it is a sad reflection on many things. But that said, there has been a number of tech startups in the US that were helmed by young adults that were complete frauds. Sam Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes easily comes to mind. Both of them were very well educated and from very good family backgrounds too. The quest to be successful and better than the rest is driving these overachievers to do any and everything. The sad thing is that they didn’t even have to, their education alone could open doors normally closed for others, even those with a similar education from a less prestigious institution. Greed and the desire to be exalted is rampant. As Jesus said, in the last days men would be lovers of themselves.

    4. What do you mean by well educated and from a good family? Is everyone not well educated and from a good family? I guess you’re mirroring your miserable life and family. Nonsense
