Grandstand a bit and cite the Aristotelian story about Thales wherein he makes money from investing in olive presses, not to the end of becoming rich but to proving the worth of wisdom. You, the superior man, have no need for material goods.

Basically the entire economy is a bunch of markets. Like the car tyre industry, the fried chicken industry, the gas pipeline industry. This has been standardized in the NAICS. Hundreds of "standard" industries. Each industry purchases some X value in products and services from other industries and puts out some Z value in product. The difference Z-X is the market value. This value is split among workers, capitalists and the government. Some markets suck, others dont. Easy to tell by the statistics, you dont need "business sense"

There area people clearly smarter and more successful than me but they are fat. Think of a smart scientist being fat, the fat doesn't help him at all. It only harms him. Getting less fat doesn't require any extra effort since all it takes is to eat less. Eating less would also mean more time spent for science or whatever.
My answer to this is that these people are not actually smart, just obsessed. Smart people are rare.

It is so fucking funny that people want to look smart and yet when people see me they act like they are talking to some sort of prophet that knows all the answers in the world until they learn I'm a normal human

The correlation with intelligence and wealth only occurs when evaluating stupid people, as in, stupid people will almost always be dumb. But average intelligence and up has zero correlation with wealth, these people are found in all economic classes. There are just as many intelligent people who are poor as there are intelligent people who are rich.

That is probably true for midwits who are concerned with how big of a box they live in, truly intelligent people are more interested in ideas, so they really only need basic security so they can engage in their study.
I guess if you are a psycho and want to fuck kids/manipulate people you happiness increases more steadily with income/power.

this guy is a fucking idiot

the money isn't actually for cocaine and hookers (though id spend it on that)

The money is so you can solve more problems and outsource a bunch of stuff like cleaning cooking and then have more time to do the work

this is literally why we pay tough jobs more money, like a CEO, its not worth him wiping his own ass, sucking his own dick, cleaning his own apartment etc

the fucking retard actually earned that money more than any other human on earth earned anything ever.
They should have just injected it into his bank account, or paid a team of people to do stuff for him with it without his permission

Wrong. Being grounded and having actual life experiences is fundamental when engaging in concepts that get to this level of abstraction and creativity. Like an artist raised from birth to be pampered and taken care of, they are going to be shit. The refusal of money gives him strength

This. It is also why scholarship programmes are so comprehensive, you can't really deal with life's little distractions if you want to produce quality research. Even today all the top researchers I know have several secretaries, stay at home wives plus private childcare.

Perelman wasn't an idiot though, he was trying to garner fame which is often worth more than the prize money. Unfortunately the trope of declining prize money has been fully played out by now, normies aren't falling for it anymore.

Sorry, but even in art how many of the Bohemian lifestyle LARPers actually produced good art? For every Van Gogh there are 10 artists from old wealth and 10 million Bohemian rats who never escaped from the depths of prosperity.

Again it is yet another trope that has lost its luster. Today the most successful artists friends of Jewish old wealth in search of tax shelters followed closely by YouTubers that are predominately house wives with nothing else to do.

Yes, YouTubers (usually offering art teaching courses), are the actual artists. They all do something like Renaissance, landscape or hyperrealisitic styles (i.e. requiring actual talent) or some of the modern styles that are aesthetic.
