Since the war is over, it’s not profitable for the elite anymore. They know what is their next move after the war. Yup, money, they’re now looking at money, they know money has the same properties to a world war, they also know they do not like to take risk, so now they tell all you idiot to take risk that they don’t want to take and deceive you to believe high risk high return, you’re real idiot if you didn’t learn from the previous lesson, you’re idiot if you didn’t learn from the world wars, you’re idiot to take risk that they tell you to take while they making maximum profit taking no risk at all.
I get that people may not feel like high risk high return is not a thing, but it is a thing. Is it a good thing? Well depends, if its high risk then it means that eventually you will have horrible days and you will have good days rarely as well, after all its high risk and rarely we see high risk stuff return high rewards at all times, we see them scarcely and that is why they are high risk, otherwise it would be low risk high return and everybody would have done that.
This is why I honestly believe that we should not be looking into high risk high returns as just one concept, sure it doesn't sound too good when I tell you "the most probable outcome is that you will lose your money", sure that sounds horrible but the reality is that we are going to have a huge return if it works out. So, if I re phrase and say that "there is a 1% chance that you will profit but if you put in 10 dollars you may make 1 million dollars" then people will usually say "what the hell its just 10 dollars" and buy it. That is lottery for you.
