Naval Ravikant: 我认为财富是你真正想要的东西,是那些在你睡觉时也能为你赚钱的资产。这包括工厂、机器人,以及那些夜以继日运行的电脑程序。财富的目的是为了获得自由,而不是为了购买奢侈品。金钱是社会信用,是你为社会创造价值后,社会欠你的未来回报的凭证。地位则是在社会等级中的排名,是一种零和游戏,与财富的正和游戏不同。我个人不喜欢地位游戏,因为赢得地位需要贬低他人,这会使人变得愤怒和好斗。人们常常通过攻击财富创造来争夺地位,但实际上他们只是在玩一场不同的游戏,一场零和游戏。

  • Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep.
  • Money is how we transfer wealth.
  • Status is a zero-sum game, while wealth is positive-sum.
