“If you’re so smart why are the only ways you have to get rich value extractive?”

A thought I have often about our so called smart people

Tbh, I see this a lot. Majority of ‘smart’ individuals lose their moral compass and are often guilty of leveraging on and exploiting the resources of others, without fair compensation

There are also major brands, who have reached such heights, as a result of the ideas of certain individuals, who didn’t receive fair acknowledgement, what really could be done ? 🤔 

I think the major question is, If you’re really that “smart”, why can’t you channel your smartness into figuring out how to get rich in a way that also uplifts others ?
