people talking about money in terms of millions scare me. i am not pecunious at all and i hardly can imagine i ever will be. dave winer is a nice guy but he is stuck in his world just as i am stuck in mine. he is going to davos as an invited person to represent the future of the economic world, i am not. this might sound envy but it is not meant to be.
although i think that dave winer does relate richness to a mental wealth (and health) and not to one's financial situation and amount of ownership, i remain with a feeling of defeating discomfort.
in my closer circle of friends i can notice a widening gap between people making money and people being paid. there is a distinction, probably it is not a very obvious one. however, sometimes i feel like bribed meeting with the fresh money makers. maybe i am unjust, but i think that their behavior is a first sign of an attitude that creates a mentality of megalomania.
i am not for sale.
