Fabrizio Rausa: I would rather die than be poor

Fabrizio Rausa describes a conversation with his mother about the future of wealth creation. His belief is that by around 2030 the window of opportunity to go from broke to rich will close as a new system emerges. He told her plainly that if he could no longer get rich, he would do whatever it takes, including things that would likely get him killed. His point is not to glorify recklessness but to communicate the sheer depth of his desire: "I would rather die than be poor." He uses this intensity to explain why women sense something different about him without him ever having to spell it out.
