Perhaps this is what Musk means when it says that empathy is bad.
If your goal is to maximise your own personal wealth, then empathy really is a hindrance. But I put to you that maximising money is not a goal worth devoting a lifetime to. And perhaps not scamming dumb people is a valuable way to act regardless.
(This is essentially what motivated the Quakers to push for set prices for goods rather than constant bartering. They believed that dump people should still be able to go to a shop and buy stuff without getting ripped off. I’d say that moral position has made the world a slightly better place.)
The Quakers are pretty based, to put it in a term they wouldn’t understand. They also are pacifists and don’t let priests tell them what God actually meant to say.
Why the fuck do I bother with learning a marketable skill when the real skill I should be learning is how to scam dumb people.

Crystals can actually remove bad influences from your life, if you throw them hard enough.

Makes sense… But I need money to survive.
I agree with you in that not scamming people ina valuable way to act. I guess I’m just burnt out and jaded at this point.
