There's no rules, you can do whatever you want. But i think a lot of people have realized history shows the get rich quick type of folks tend not to actually contribute anything to human progress and more often than not are looking to take advantage of others for their own gain (allowing them to save time to riches). My question: Why would I ever want to deal with anyone like that, and why would anyone else?

How many people are actually contributing anything to human progress?

[anon808]

who cares. all you can control is what you choose to do.

[omarchowdhury]

Maybe one needs to take care of their own progress before they can take care of others?

[anon808]

they're not mutually exclusive

[jarek]

except when they are

[anon808]

Again it's a choice, you decide. They don't have to be mutually exclusive if you don't want them to be.
