I've been obsessed with one idea: why the billionaires don't stop working
and I came with the following sentences...


money is not human energy otherwise you would be a physician

Money is not human energy.

Otherwise, the richest people would have the most energy, work the most, and earn the most money in an endless crescendo loop.

energy and money inflate

more money would imply more energy that would imply more work that would imply even more money, more energy, more work etc in a crescendo loop ... >>>>

This is a fun and punchy little thought piece. The logic is simple but effective, and the idea of an "endless crescendo loop" is a nice way to mock the myth that wealth equals effort. It also quietly points out that the richest people often work the least, which is the real joke. But it stops just as it gets going. The phrase "energy and money inflate" feels more like a note than a developed idea. A little more exploration of what money actually is, if not human energy, would give the piece a stronger payoff.
