Power or wealth?

Let's break this down for a minute. In our capitalistic society, what does money get you?

Spending power, if you have enough money, political power to buy off politicians.

In the end women are attracted to power. Alpha males with social power, muscular guys with physical power, rich guys with spending power, politicians with political power, murderers with the power to kill.

I will take power any day of the week. Money is only good for getting you power and material things. In the end it's just a green piece of paper that's only worth what someone is willing to give you for it.

With enough power, you can just take money.

Money is derivative of power imho.

Power is true wealth. Money is a subset of power.

The value of anything boils down to its price in terms of time and effort.

Remember, the measure of "wealth" is measured by things that are difficult to acquire.

When you're a member of the lower or middle classes, money is typically in short supply and difficult to obtain in vast quantities. It must be built slowly, with time and effort. When it does get introduced into the equation, it can purchase materials, assets, labour, and even loyalty. At this level, success can be measured by, and is typically determined by, the amount of money you have.

When you're a member of the upper class, everyone around you has a lot of it. Money is no longer a scarce thing - it's abundant, so it loses its power to influence. Instead, the scarce resource becomes influence and social contacts in positions of high authority. Things which cannot be bought, but which instead must be built slowly, with time and effort.

The efforts of the lower classes produce labour and goods. The efforts of the upper classes produce influence and action.

This is also why, in a culture that artificially inflates the value of women and deflates the value of men, the real politik value of women goes up. Because when women believe they can demand more time and effort on the part of men before putting out, the price really does go up, for everyone.

As red pillers, we have the unique insight and power to correct the market for ourselves and get the right price.

Depends on if they can comprehend the power.

Money is easy, and so will women be when they find out you have it. Power is little more complicated to display and not all women will understand or care.

Money is merely the abstraction of power.

With enough power you need no money

Neither... seek Wisdom instead.

By it you will achieve sufficient finances and status (better than wealth or power) -- and then reside in a place where neither money nor power (nor anything else) can be used to control or manipulate you.
