When I spoke of your "mature" advice, it was in the context of your confusion. Your advice was confused -- not mature.
You are welcome to your suspicions. I am speaking from ground truth. There are lots of highly motivated very smart people with lots of money out there. The problem isn't the lack of very sharp highly motivated well-intentioned people with lots of money. The problem is their immersion in a social milieu that neutralizes their ability to think. If they don't deal with that problem then they are effectively brain dead no matter how smart they are taken as individuals.
