    statistically there will be a few honest to god self made nillionaires

    That’s not how statistics work. There being a lot of people doesn’t change reality to make the impossible possible.

    You literally CAN’T become a billionaire without a SHITLOAD of help from and exploitation of others and that’s the case whether the world population is 30 or 30 trillion.

    I wouldn’t call it impossible, just statistically insignificant.

    Again, not how ANYTHING works.

      You can’t just say that’s not how something works and have it be true wtf kind of ridiculous world do you live in

      That literally is how statistics work.

      It is impossible for gravity to not function.

      It is not impossible for a self made billionaire to exist.
