And so me personally, we're always going to have a hierarchical society.
Some people are going to want to work harder than others.
You're going to have people like Sean who are young as shit, want to be an entrepreneur, you know what I mean?
Done very, very well for himself.
And you're going to have people that are just like, you know what?
I'm okay with having a construction job.
You understand?
So as long as that construction worker is getting a fair wage, they are happy, and it's not allowing other people to live off of the surplus that he's creating, then that's okay.
I think it's more mentality.
And the reason why I say that is because if you're looking at necessary and sufficient causes, so you could say poor upbringing, poor social circumstances.
If you're saying that this is both necessary and sufficient, then everybody that was born into those circumstances wouldn't be able to find their way out.
So you're going to have a percentage that make it out.
And I think the powerful message, though, is the people that have made it out, why don't we go learn from them and figure out how to take that message and spread it?
100%.
So criminal justice is a very big issue for me.
I've spent seven years of my life in prison.
I will tell you that the criminal justice system is corrupt, ineffective.
It fucking destroys lives.
It does more harm than good, right?
And I would love to be a proponent for criminal justice change.
