Lone Skum
Literally anyone can come up with a clever plan to profit at the expense of others. Intelligence, while potentially useful in such endeavors, is irrelevant. After all, and you certainly know such people, most opportunist and scammers are neither educated nor exactly intelligent. That’s why they resort to scamming and fraud in the first place.
The only difference between such people and the rest of human race is that not everyone has the stomach to execute such plans. Exactly because they are either educated, intelligent, or perceptive enough to see the potential fallout. For all concerned. Alas.
Troubled friendless man
Craving his Oedipussy
Wants to rule the world.
But he won’t succeed. He can’t. Exactly as cancer or a parasite cannot dominate their host because they always kill their life support in the process of attempted takeover. A simple and efficient causal rule.
“There are your first principles, sucker,” my Schadenfreude rubs its hands.
Then again, I don’t want to even fathom the consequences he will face because the final backlash will be spectacular. Truly, as they say, Father forgive him and have mercy on him because the causal debt he accumulated portends an end cruel beyond imagination.
Still, let him lay down in the bed of nails of his making. Though, without a shadow of the doubt and despite his arrogant self-assured smirk, the hellscapes he inhabits already, the ones which torture him day and night even as we speak, are nothing to be envious of. Well, to each what’s their own.
Let the justice be served.
