Real skills are actually extremely hard to get and take tons of time to acquire. That's why most of the population will resort to the same lazy hacks-- from human trash who buy lottery tickets, to STEMtards who end up unemployed, to very rich people who still fall for Ponzi schemes. Anyone who has ever tried to teach themselves something which requires practice knows that it is literally impossible to adapt the mind to hours of repetitive work, unless you're autistic (which comes with its own set of flaws).

Imagine an MMO where you can either memorize every detail of the game, every mob and dungeon and build, or you can follow an easy guide which 1000s have tried, but only a few have succeeded.

Do you mimic others for the sake of being "just like them," or do you dedicate hours to discovering your own purpose at the cost of being a complete loser?

It's unnecessary to call it anything, unless we're being autistic. It's reality, m8.

OP the reason poor people don't become wealthy instead is because they're incompetent.

Maybe due to trauma or bad genetics, whatever it is, they seem to possess a weaker "will" or ability to be successful. They cannot become wealthy, otherwise they would be.

It doesn't really matter, though. Rich people toss them scraps, welfare checks, and in exchange they don't do anything to disruptive to status quo

So which is it, the nature of reality that most people are slaves, or is it a choice that people make that hinges on whether or not they want to be rich or a victim? Where does what you want to be factor in on a schoolyard? Bullied kids would want to go super saiyan but the reality of nature is that there is one kid who is the strongest and others are small and can’t do shit about it no matter how bad they want to. Unless they all gang up and kill the bully, which I would advocate.

I'd say no one is a slave, anyone can be whatever they want... people set goals and reach them. To keep people wageslaving, limit their awareness of what's possible. keep them on 4chan reading shitposts made by paid pajeets.

ok well your perspective is obviously clouded by emotion. Bullying victims are targeted by overagressive kids because they cannot or will not stick up for themselves.
Some ideas from your post:
if a kid thinks super saiyan is real, let them be bullied
desire to kill bully indicates severe emotional problems which are likely a factor as to why the kid is bullied. lol

There are the helpless poor and the resilient poor. The resilient poor make light of their situation, they don't box themselves into the mentality that there is nothing that could be done to improve their situation. The helpless poor think that events are so out of their control, that any efforts are useless. Systematic poverty is an interesting one as it doesn't really force individuals into poverty but practically it does because people aren't informed enough to know they can better their situation. Its all based in ignorance somehow.
