Interpret that however you wish but you'll know its real because there will be a

:sadcam::francis::mjcry::patrice::to::scusthov:
feeling within upon consideration of the proposal as you try and sell the idea to your Self, against your better judgement.

For some people its being a traitor to their race for others its the proverbial "deal with the devil" for fame and riches by doing something you wouldn't ordinarily do in exchange for what they dangled in front of your face. A few rationalize this as "I'll take the hit and life will be better for my kids and bloodline after this" as well as "If I don't take it someone else will so better me than them because at least I can steer the corruption in ways less damaging".

In effect this is the old pimps trick and when you come face to face with it in real life you'll either lose your mind or get your money right. Interpret all of these concepts however you wish, fill in the figures, projections and experience then respond because the heart of this matter lies at the root of the ills society faces and its rarely acknowledged and spoken of even less.

Its gotta be enough for me to set up a situation where I'm financially independent, I can make 10 kids financially independent, and I can make 100 grandkids financially independent.

Yes, a lot of people say this. On a smaller scale this reflects in workaholics with the old "I'm doing it for my kids" when if they truly had their seeds best interests at heart they'd realize nourishment comes via presence which often slid as they were at the office or rocking the block to generate dividends. Not saying being broke is the wave or anything just another thought experiment. Also, in honestly, even if you did all that how do you think you'd feel knowing the truth within and from whence the tree springs and how the seed was traded upon the deed of compromising yourself? Really think. Better yet feel then respond to this.

25 billion

What do you think you possess to equal that amount? Why would someone pay you that to compromise yourself? Better yet how do you think you'd feel afterwards in those quiet moments where you reflect? Pretty much anyone will do almost anything if someone said "Here I'll make you the defacto ruler of the world" but that defeats the point of the experiment as its about the least amount you'd consider feasible to do the unconscionable.

If your integrity can be compromised, you never had none.

Anyone in here giving out a number will probably suck a dikk for the right price. Either you got integrity or you don’t.

Probably killed the thread but there's the answer and I'm glad to see it dropped quickly in a sense because it means someone gets it.

The premise is interesting, tempting and a great social experiment because all it does is reflect the reality people engage in on a lesser scale with their day to day, earning wages that pay them less than their worth just to provide for their seeds and themselves. Its why the carrot is such an initiative and ultimately it can be broken down as tricks and pimps.

Speaking this things on a board where people image build and try to be slick is one thing and coming face to face with it in real life is something else but like I said, thought experiment.

$100 million after taxes, I looked up how much everything I want costs and that's the amount I would need to be able to buy all of it and still have almost half left over not including investments.
