The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I'd reckon the other way around would be a solid blueprint to wealth also. Applied knowledge put to good use (solving problems) can also create wealth.

I''m reminded of Satre's contention in Existentialism is a Humanism--that there really are no "signs" about what life path we should pursue, no definitive indication about what we ought to do next, so any step into the future requires us to bear a degree of uncertainty on our shoulders.

There's a point where an uncanny valley occurs with money beyond $70K until one has the wealth to afford a personal accountant.

I'm totes of the opinion though that money itself is neutral; that it's one's own disposition that can screw you. Money though does attract problems, i.e. other screwed up people who may not have their psycho-spiritual trip together.

I'd say money is neutral, considering it's inanimate. It's not like money will be communicating behind your back with local authorities to have you arrested because money hates your guts and wishes to see you rot, criminal scum.
