Most lawyers are scared of being too rich
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 6th, 2017 11:28 PM Author: histrionic irate school knife most lawyers have enough knowledge to make substantially more. A bankruptcy lawyer has enough knowledge of loopholes and data to take huge risks while controlling losses. But lawyers are kind of scared of being where the real sharks are. The Trumps, the investment bankers. i wouldn't put it beyond some of these bankers to hire a hitman to put their competition out. You need THICK skin to survive up there at the very top (hundreds of millions in net worth). I'm not just talking about aspie lawyers who are scared of publicity. Even relatively alpha lawyers won't much alphaness of some megalomaniac with fake anti-aging supplement empire. |

Date: May 6th, 2017 11:36 PM Author: histrionic irate school knife Someone who doesn't get stage fright if he has to speak to 50,000 people. Someone who won't stutter or make odd statements during conversations with very important people. Someone who knows women inside out (making money off of them and sexing them). But mainly I'm talking about a certain type of ruthlessness that does whatever it takes to make money without overanalyzing things - not some sociopath who ends up getting caught. This type of person is usually very unethical exploitative. |

Date: May 6th, 2017 11:43 PM Author: rose concupiscible mood party of the first part I was talking about a salesman who sells fraudulent services to people and makes big money. For example, selling SEO services or selling loan consolidation services. Basically taking advantage of people who "need help" and creating a sense of trust so that he can sell them $service$ (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3606884&forum_id=2#33248227) |

Date: May 6th, 2017 11:45 PM Author: histrionic irate school knife Yes. The lawyer mentality is that of a professional (code of ethics, conflicts of interest) I'm talking about the merchant mentality (I'll rip someone off as much as I can if I can get away with it - as long as it's legal or in a gray area) |

Date: May 6th, 2017 11:45 PM Author: Honey-headed Fluffy Deer Antler Jordan Belfort was very high IQ. He could do five digit multiplication in his head when he was six years old or some shit. Keep in mind one of the reasons he did so well was because he targeted rich people--such as the hypothetical ibanker with a Harvard MBA you mention in the OP. He was a smart and ruthless salesbro and that's how he became so wealthy so quickly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3606884&forum_id=2#33248247) |

Date: May 6th, 2017 11:42 PM Author: histrionic irate school knife Trump's bankruptcy lawyer David Friedman knows more about leveraging and then declaring bankruptcy than Trump does. So you would think if he has more knowledge, he would be in Trump's position, instead of making a couple of million (or whatever he makes) a year. Why doesn't he do that? He has some sort of fear that makes him settle with his current income. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3606884&forum_id=2#33248217) |

But yeah, that's one thing I've learned about "the big leagues" in general: it's full of sharks and everything is all high stakes and lawsuits and people wanting to eat your lunch, and so on. The song "Rock Superstar" by Cypress Hill is about this, among other things... How, when you're "in the big time," you always have to look over your shoulder.
And that's true even in the civilized world. In backward ass banana republics, you can even get fucking shot just for having a high profile and being seen a a potential threat to someone.
Like, what's the fucking point of being a bigwig in Stalin's Russia? All the fancy Palaces and Mercedes and Rolexes will disappear pretty quick when one of his goons whack you... Not to mention your ability to breath. In that environment you're better off just being some TTT 9-5 faggot working in a peanut factory. |

Date: May 7th, 2017 12:19 AM Author: rose concupiscible mood party of the first part that's why white societies are superior to all other societies because white people care a lot about maintaining a solid middle class where most people are doing well enough that they don't have to live paycheck to paycheck. this is ideal because people are usually happy with their lives and don't feel the need to rebel and rob the rich. Arab societies and jewish societies don't have this. These societies basically have a bunch of poor and a bunch of rich. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3606884&forum_id=2#33248449) |

Date: May 7th, 2017 10:41 AM Author: Cobalt provocative indirect expression keepsake machete The lawyer personality is based on a secret attachment to being controlled, deprived, and submissive, and various passive aggressive attempts to hide that secret attachment. Lawyers cream their panties imagining the horrible things that will happen if some comma isn't in the right place and then externalize by working until 4am checking all the commas - ironically leaving no mental energy to address real priorities.
They think that if they neglect themselves and make themselves invisible, the world MUST recognize them. It is deeply deranged and sad. |
