The great lie is that there are two sides to the society that is the rich and the poor. And the great truth is that there are two sides that are the makers and the takers.
The great lie is that there are two sides to the society that is the rich and the poor. And the great truth is that there are two sides that are the makers and the takers.
The lie is that the rich are unfairly rich and the poor are unfairly poor. And therefore the poor must take from the rich. But the truth is that it's the takers that tell you that lie.
That the real truth is that artists, plumbers, electricians, woodworkers, computer scientists, people that build, people that make from all walks of life, all income levels, all wealth brackets, are the makers.
And the takers are what Sachs calls this intelligentsia, the analysts, the espousers, the armchair mechanics, the critics, the commentators, the politicians. They are the takers. They are the people that watch the rest of society make stuff, build stuff, specifically doing things that create value for other people in β that's what a maker is.
Tell my kids this lesson all the time. I say, "What did you guys make today?" They tell me something they made and I'm like, "Did someone else value it or did you make it just for yourself?"
Tell my kids this lesson all the time. I say, "What did you guys make today?" They tell me something they made and I'm like, "Did someone else value it or did you make it just for yourself?" At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.
Whether you make a piece of art, whether you build a house, whether you write a piece of software, whether you build a business, whatever you make, if you're a maker and someone else values it, they become your customer in some way, they become your partner in some way, you've done something valuable. Those are the true engines of progress for humanity.
They use that lie to get everyone to line up against each other and to give themselves ultimately the control to form the great American Politburo, which is what they're trying to create.
And the takers are the ones that tell the lie that it's the rich versus poor because they β what they want to do is rip apart the makers. And they want to tell everyone you got to be on one side or the other and they use that lie to get everyone to line up against each other and to give themselves ultimately the control to form the great American Politburo, which is what they're trying to create.
That is what's underway right now and that is the fundamental great truth and great lie that that we're kind of fighting against at this [clip ends]
