Wow, are you okay?
If you had any idea what I've survived..... I'm not the stuck up wef hedge fund manager you're angry at. Believe me when I say. I know what sorrow is. It's the reason I have learned to keep getting back up, and to look for a silver lining.
Lots of people are happy, not spending life comparing themselves to the wealth of others, and acquiring possessions. It's a thing called minimalism. It's not the same as Bill Gates stealing, and manipulation. He's a criminal for sure. I'd even add that he's probably not a very happy person anyway.
You can find reasons to be happy, and not approve of exploitation, and evil.
Chill.

Yeah, and people can be happy owning very little.

"Just a theory!" Really? A theory isn't the same as a hunch. It's when something has been rigorously tested by the scientific community, and is the highest level of scientific achievement an idea can gain. One might be luck to have the word used on their idea.
Even if the data we get seems to say something, and becomes accepted as a theory. It may still need refinement. So, a theoretical temperament is a good thing to use for fine tuning our understanding.
Please don't dismiss such discipline for the likes of Metaphysics my friend.

My vote goes with empiricism for the win. If this argument had been made better, it might have at least muddied the waters. A better defense for rationalist Metaphysics would have been to connect it with a more contemporary conversation. Maybe..... Quantum entanglement stuff, or String theory. ? Not saying those are great, but it's just so old timey.
Hella steampunk vibes though. That's kinda fun.
