Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep: businesses, products, media, robots, investments, land. Wealth is for freedom, not conspicuous consumption.
财富是当你睡觉时挣得的财产:商业、产品、视频、机器人、投资、土地。财富是为了自由,而不是为了明显的消费
Money is how we transfer wealth; it’s the social credits and debits of other people’s time. Money isn’t going to solve all your problems, but it’s going to solve your money problems.
金钱是我们如何转变成财富的工具,它是通过别人的时间得来的社会信用和债务。金钱不能解决你所有的问题,但能解决你的金钱问题。
Status is your rank in a social hierarchy like politics or sports. It’s a zero-sum game: to be a winner, there must be a loser. Status is an old game that predicted survival in the hunter-gatherer days, before we had technologies for creating wealth.
地位是在社会等级中的排名,比如政治或者运动。它是零和游戏,有赢家,就有输家。地位是在用技术来创造财富之前的一种老式玩法,在狩猎时代用来预测幸存者。
People creating wealth will always be attacked by people still playing status games.
人们创造财富总会被一直玩地位的人们攻击。
