Telling the majority of our population they are dumb for engaging in our current social contract isn't going to work out well for society long term.

Those with a 1000x return almost universally recognize that they have the talent to not work for someone else. Or they do work for someone else, but make far, far, more than a house painter to do it.

Those are probably less than 1% of the population. The majority don't even approach 2x, much less 1000x.

Then the 1000x return people should be smart enough to realize they are a small minority and not choose to alienate the much larger majority.
