Short YouTube monologue (Capitalism.com) arguing that formal schooling trains people to follow rules, which keeps most people from becoming wealthy; wealthier people instead question systems, find better ways, and create their own rules to profit. The piece promotes creative rule-breaking as a path to financial success.
School trains you to follow the rules, and that's why most people don't become wealthy. The people who make a lot of money are looking for how to get around the rules. The rules are how everybody else plays. The rules are the systems that other people thought were good ideas. The rules are the direction that everybody follows because it's the path of least resistance. You make a lot of money by looking at things and saying, this doesn't make sense. There's got to be a better way to do this and allow yourself to have the creative energy to come up with how you would do it differently. Following the rules does not make you wealthy. Finding better ways to create your own rules is how you get rich.
